I was shocked & saddened by the harsh words that some our fellow plus size beauties were using to justify what they described as "honesty" & "constructive criticism" towards Laura's choice of outfit. Some just commented on the fact that the jumpsuit didn't suit her or did nothing for her but the words were harsh and sometimes just plain mean! Regardless of your opinion you are commenting on someone's appearance therefore people's feelings come into play.

I am pro-opinions but there is a way of saying things to people which doesn't cause unnecessary hurt. All opinions are valid, but have you ever stopped to think how the person on the receiving end feels about your opinion. Freedom of speech is a powerful thing - but it also provides an easy way to hide behind that very same saying.  

Maybe Laura didn't want our opinions, maybe she felt good in what she was wearing and wanted to share that or what's more maybe she just wanted to review the blinkin' jumpsuit!?

Hearing people tear strips off her was not nice, it wasn't kind and what did it achieve....nothing!  So why do it?

Personally, I think Laura looked fabulous in her jumpsuit, her hair and makeup complimented her mega watt smile and she should have been seen as an inspiration to all PS ladies out there by showing that we can wear whatever the hell we want and still look damn fabulous. So, in support of her I asked a bunch of Plus Size Blogger & Model babes to share some of their jumpsuit/playsuit pictures to prove that this fashion item is not solely for the slim figured beauties but for ALL!

We are all rocking our curves in these outfits and we are unashamed of how society sees us. We feel beautiful therefore we ARE beautiful...

#wearethethey & we love a jumpsuit!!

+Debz A suggested another fabulous way of sending out some more #psbloggerlove & further extend that love today to the whole of the plus size community.  All day there have been posts & tweets about fellow bloggers & non-bloggers alike celebrating the outfits we love seeing each other wearing.

I couldn't possibly highlight one person, so I have picked a few blogger ladies who I feel really inspire me daily to push my boundaries fashion-wise and I want to show you some of my fave pics of them.

Debz of Wannabe Princess has had another brainwave to add further value to the #WeAreTheThey statement.

Today we are hitting back again but this time we are dispelling all the "THEY shouldn't wear that" rumours.

Well guess what... #WeAreTheThey and We will NOT be told what NOT to wear!

1. Tight Clothing/BodyCons

Up until late 2014 I had never dreamed of wearing a body con dress but with the right shapewear & a spoonful of self confidence I have embraced the Body Con with both arms!  

2. Leggings

Leggings are my go-to on the weekend and they can even be dressed up so why would we not want to wear them??

3. White

White can be a tricky one as sometimes it can make me look wider but it's one of my favourite colours so I'll be damned if anyone is gonna tell me to stop wearing it!

4. Bright colours

I have always worn bright colours - they really brighten up a day. I don't even understand they theory about not wearing them!?

5. Bold patterns

I personally think they distract attention away from my lovely lady lumps!

6. Horizontal stripes

Why ever not - I always wear stripes without a care in the world!

7. High heels & Skinny Jeans

I am short - so without heels I feel so small!  I will never stop wearing heels and as for skinny jeans - I live in them!

8. Bikinis

Daniella & Sian have amazing bodies and I think they look fantastic!!

9. Crop tops

 Here we have Sheivelle, Sian & Daniella proving that any size girl can rock a crop!

10. Short skirts

Most of my work dresses are verging on indecent! But hey, I think I look pretty damn good!!

11. Shorts

...BUT WHY NOT DAN LOOKS HOT!!!

12. Fishtail Dresses

This dress made me win the +Scarlett Jo Selfie Competition - It's a winner in my eyes!

13. Dresses with side splits

I personally love this dress - it's girly and makes me feel fantastic!

14. Make up

This is the silliest of all - cos what woman doesn't feel fantastic with a splash of lippy??

15. Pencil Skirts.

I do love a pencil skirt, me.. what exactly is wrong with a pencil skirt anyway?

All in all - I say, if you feel fab in it - where whatever the hell you want!

#WeAreTheThey and we EMBRACE fashion!!
