Plus, it'll make shopping a hell of a lot more fun.

And for those of us who do, well, learning to embrace the bodies we have, and allowing ourselves to wear all those clothes we've been told will only highlight our cellulite or jiggly bits, is an exciting and empowering exercise in confidence. At the end of the day, I and most people I know have fat on our bodies! Some of us just have a little more. "Fat" is a descriptor, no different than "thin" or "slender" or "tall" or "short." But because it's been coated in criticism and negativity, we've ended up fearing it. While I've received some criticism for calling myself "fat" in the past, I think it's important to note that I don't consider it a bad word. I was used to teen-age white girls who only had allowance money for shopping. No crime occurred when a man crouched down in a Target aisle and snapped photos up a 13-year-old girls skirt, a Washington County judge ruled Thursday. Once you are at peace with this reality, you can finally flaunt the miniskirt look gracefully. If you wear a short skirt, you must accept the fact that you will, at times, look trashy, gross, scandalous, and downright wrong.

The other girl had on an aqua green mini-skirt, two-inch gold high heels. This enabled them to do everything fearlessly. Though it's quite easy to talk about breaking the rules, it's more difficult to put that into action. Luckily, through interacting with size-acceptance-promoting writers, individuals, activists, and media types, I've garnered a newfound sense of confidence, and something of a rebellious spirit when it comes to my fashion. To me, these rules have always seemed oppressive, but I lived according to them for many years, nonetheless.

"Plus-size women can't wear bright colors." "Plus-size women can't wear anything that shows some thigh." "Plus-size women must only wear baggy, shapeless garbage bags and hide every curve and roll on their bodies." Anyone who has read some of my writing on here or on my personal blog knows I'm a huge supporter of breaking all those plus-size fashion no-nos set for us women sizes 12 and up.
