Aside from occasionally modeling for SmartGlamour – what do you do? I’m a freelance writer and editor.

#InYourSize Campaign

“What size are you?” – A question we hear often throughout our lives. “I am a size…” – An answer we often give throughout our lives. But what does your size actually mean? Are you only one size? Does your size change? Last year, through #SameSizeDifferentEyes – we showed that no two bodies are exactly the same – even if those bodies are the same “size.” But size issues haven’t gone anywhere – and they most likely won’t for quite some time. There’s a lot of talk about size inconsistency between brands, size charts not lining up…

#FitForEveryBody

We all have issues when it comes to clothing our bodies. Whether it’s finding pants long enough, tops with enough or not too much room in the bust, or just finding something to fit a body shape that is between sizes – almost everyone struggles when it comes to getting the right fit. We’ve talked a bit before about how arbitrary sizes are and how size charts are created – but it truly is important to remember – that even if we forced every clothing company in the world (which would be impossible) to carry the exact same sizes and…

Let’s Talk About the Word “Flattering”

Let’s talk about the word “flattering.” (This is actually what comes up in images when you Google “flattering”) I’m going to let you in on a secret: the purpose of clothing is not – and does not have to be – to make you look thinner. (And by saying this, I am not speaking to women who enjoy manipulating their body shape by using corsets and what have you to create fun and dramatic shapes.) The fact of the matter is – that we live in a society where thinness is worshiped. Whether that thinness is gained by healthy or…
