I’m not gonna say I miss summer, but I do miss this rocky, misty beach. I wanna share a lil honesty with you guys here: even though this was one of my favorite pictures from this shoot, I didn’t initially want to share it. I’ve created a space that’s all about showing myself as authentically as possible (while still creating aesthetically pleasing photos), and this picture felt inauthentic to me. Because this isn’t what my body looks like 99% of the time. I’m hardcore posing, the lighting is in my favor, and this swimsuit is super flattering. But I still love this photo. I love the shells in the foreground, I love the way my hair is curling around my shoulder. And, while I don’t look like this most of the time, this photo is still me. There’s no FaceTune or Photoshop going on. But just like this photo is still very much me, so are the three other photos in this carousel. In fact, the last photo was taken in one of those moments of beachy bliss, where you know your body is squeezing out of your bathing suit from all angles, but you feel so happy and glorious and beautiful that it doesn’t even matter. And those are the most powerful, special, and memorable moments at the end of the day. P.S. everything I’m wearing in all of these photos is from @aerie 💁🏼♀️ #midsizeootd #midsizestyle #midsizefashion #midsizeandme #lifewithmidstyle #sizelessstyle #averagegirlsize #myaveragesizestyle #midsizegals #anysizestyle #inbetweenie #bodyposipals #midsize #discoverunder5k #midsizelife #stylenotsize #midsizequeens #girlssupportinggirls #curvygirlstyle #celebrateyourcurves #midsizegirls #normalizemidsize #normalizenormalbodies #loveyourself #loveyourbody #everybodyisabikinibody #aeriereal (at Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFhr9B8AUfD/?igshid=147kv1kaimp4d
