Fat and Fit: Does Exercise Have a Place in the Plus Size/Body Positive Community?

Can you be fat AND fit? The answer is hell yes. One of the biggest misconceptions about plus size women is that we do not work out or stay active.

Happy Sunday! It’s been a dark and stormy mess in Chicago all weekend, which made me stay in and snuggle into soft knits! But the clouds finally lifted and I was able to venture out onto my porch for my favorite Sunday ritual: Coffee and Magazines! Y’all don’t see me in my casual wear very often, but here’s a glimpse of a favorite plus size sweatshirt from Avenue: the Sunday Funday sweatshirt.

I have a love affair with books, but I’ve been neglecting them lately in favor of podcasts and magazines and TV, of course. But as soon as I stepped foot in the new Eloquii store at The Shops at Northbridge (the Nordstrom Building in downtown Chicag0), and put this look together, I knew I had to get back in the library as quick as possible! I mean, this Conversational Blouse in Mushroom Print and pink Flounce Pencil Skirt gave me all of the librarian style and book lover vibes that I’ve been missing since so many of the bookstores closed years ago!
