This look is just as lovely and fiercely feminine as your letter. I think many plus-size women have experienced the same feelings and frustrations, and I really feel like there’s a growing movement of voices urging for more inclusion in fashion, yours included. Those voices are so needed, and I so appreciate you voicing your own thoughts, as well.

Thoughtfully and beautifully written... As someone who has been categorized as 'plus-size' and now fits more in the 'average' demographic (though I reject both labels and prefer to think of myself simply as a human female), I have to say that I echo many of your frustrations. While I cannot say that my race is under-represented in the industry, I certainly see the evidence of a lack of diversity, and wish that it were different. I do think that things are changing, although change appears to be happening slowly. Luckily we have style and fashion blogs like yours to look to for inspiration and enjoyment when we find ourselves disappointed, yet again, by the industry that we love. Your outfits and style are so well put together and that's what made me want to read (and continue reading) your blog. Not your shape, skin color, or even gender. So, thank you for your lovely blog and your even lovelier words.
P.S. Love the dress. =)
