This Genius Project Shows The Plus-Size Women Who Ads Ignore
For once, women sizes 24 and up get to show their style.
Tired of not seeing bodies like theirs represented in media, 12 plus-size bloggers decided to create their own "22+ Style" lookbook.

The lookbook is a response to mainstream plus-size campaigns that feature almost exclusively hourglass-shaped women on the lower end of the plus spectrum.
"Too often, women above a size 24 are not shown in the media or in campaigns.... [but] style doesn't stop at a size 22," says Marcy Cruz, one of the bloggers responsible for the project. "All women are worthy and deserving of fashion, no matter what their size."
Cruz notes that in addition to providing style inspiration, the lookbook offers "tips and quotes to women seeking inspiration and motivation to be their best selves."
