“Big belly babes don’t gatekeep — and we also don’t let our bellies stop us from dressing cute af,” she began.
The size-16, 220lb style pro started off with a black bra and leopard-print underwear from Curvy Couture.
She then pulled on a pair of gray cargo pants with a comfy elastic waistband from H&M.
“I am so bloated. I’m about to get my period,” she complained as she put together the loungewear look.
“We’re about to go back to 2020 up in this b****,” she added.
She matched the bottoms with a gray hoodie, also from H&M, which is cropped to show off a sliver of midriff.
“I’m tired but I want to look cute, because when the mess is clean, I can think clearly. When I look good, I feel good,” she explained.
“Getting dressed makes me feel confident.”
Accessorizing, she added a green baseball cap and matching $135 Air Jordans.
For the final piece of clothing — a little “streetwear meets The Matrix,” she said — she topped the outfit with a faux-leather trench coat from Forever 21+, $50.
Finally, she finished with a green bag.
“I’m a firm believer that life happens for us, not to us, and even though I might be tired a little bit more than normal, there’s always a lesson in everything, whether we like it or not,” she said.
Commenters applauded her style and are thrilled by her attitude.
“Love your energy,” wrote one.
“Girl you actually inspired me to buy clothes!! Now I’m excited to dress the belly,” wrote another.
“I love watching all your videos. I’m also plus size, not a potato,” said a third. “You make everything look so good on you. You inspire me!!!”
