Hi, I'm Natalie...
I am 5'2 and a size 18, which means I am petite AND plus size. Those two sizing terms might seem like polar opposites, but full figures come in a variety of shapes and sizes—one of those being short! As a petite plus size fashionista, it has been extremely difficult to fit into fashion and find clothing made for my body. But I'm here to share my petite plus style tips with you and to show the world that short, plus size women belong in fashion!

MY LATEST PLUS SIZE SWIMWEAR OBSESSION

Swimsuit season is almost here! Well, actually, it’s already arrived, but since I live in Chicago, I won’t be able to wear them until July.
