Beauty of all sizes

Found this colorful plaid top and pair of extreme skinny jeans at Old Navy today for $8 combined!

I really loved super skinny jeans in college but realized that they accentuate my cellulite so I started buying looser jeans. But this pair of jeans is very stretchy, very formfitting and very comfortable! And I feel very sexy in them!

Night out looks for people who hate to go out.

#LessPerfectMoreFree is something that’s near & dear to my heart. We need to broaden our definition of beauty and recognize that it’s ambiguous, fluid, & that there’s room in the definition to include every body type, shape, gender, color, & ethnicity, whether the person is able-bodied or not. 

#LessPerfectMoreFree tells everyone to focus less on fitting into someone else’s largely unattainable, exclusionary idea of ‘perfection’ and instead focus on being more yourself, unapologetically. <3 

Wolfee is disabled, and had to have her spine fused. She uses #LessPerfectMoreFree to remind herself that her large scars don’t define her; she’s perfect just as she is!

Kaari used to be insecure about her smile. She uses #LessPerfectMoreFree to show the world that she doesn’t have to have straight, ‘perfect’ teeth to be beautiful, valuable or loved.

Anna sometimes gets down about her plus size body. She uses #LessPerfectMoreFree to remind herself that she doesn’t need to be thin to live a happy, passionate life; she’s lovely the way she is!

I’m Minerva, and I used to be extremely self-conscious of my size. I used to feel that no one could ever really love me, that I’d never be truly happy, & that I couldn’t start living my life until I hit a certain number on the scale. I use #LessPerfectMoreFree as a battlecry. I use it as an incantation. I use is to remember that I am more than my body; I’m perfect just the way I am, and capable of great things and being loved at any size.

Use #LessPerfectMoreFree on social media for a chance to be featured on my IG, and to tell the world that you stand for authenticity, not ‘perfection’. <3
