"Do you even know how huge a 4X is? Do bigger size
$"Do you even know how huge a 4X is? Do bigger sizes even exist? Come on." This was someone's response to me after I left a comment on a brand's Instagram post challenging their sizing after they claimed to have inclusive sizing, or "sizing for everybody." Over the past few weeks as I've shopped for summer styles, I've grown increasingly frustrated at brands using this language when they don't even come close to making my size (a 28, categorized generally as "extended plus.") To have a random stranger on the internet remark that bigger sizes don't exist just added fuel to my fire. Yes, bigger sizes do exist, and we are worthy of fashion -- especially when a brand labels themselves with sizes "for all." So today's arrival at my doorstep of a large @targetstyle Designer Dress Collection order placed at 3AM EST on launch day was a welcome sight. After years of designer collaborations making zero, or only a fraction of styles in plus, and even fewer to a size 28/30, I was cautiously excited when Target announced that every style in the Designer Dress Collection was going to be carried up to a 28/30. For many people, clothes can just seem like frivolous pieces of fabric. But for those of us who are excluded time and time again, these clothes are an opportunity to affirm our existence and give us a much needed outlet for personal expression. In my Instagram Stories, I shared my try-on experience with 10 of these dresses. If you aren't someone who is regularly excluded from fashion, I'd love if you would watch to see what a relief and joy it is to experience being included. I'll save it as a highlight. <<SWIPE>> through to see some of my favorites. And for those people who think that sizes 4X or larger don't - or shouldn't - exist, here's some evidence that we're here... and we look damn good in clothes. I also want to acknowledge that while a size 28/30 is a wonderful and welcome addition, there are still more sizes beyond that who deserve the same options. I hope that those in smaller bodies will add their voices to the chorus of larger bodies working to call out brands for more options.$

Happy Derby Day! Here are some throwbacks from 201

Happy Derby Day! Here are some throwbacks from 2019 Kentucky Derby festivities. Instead of being at Churchill Downs today, I've spent the day cleaning the house ala @gocleanco, all the way down to the spin mop (swipe to see.) Hopefully next year will be more normal and I'll make it back with an even bigger fascinator than 2019. I can guarantee one thing will be the same as this year: there will be some bourbon consumed. 🥃 Hope you're having a great Saturday.

Anyone else a Go Clean Co convert?!

Temperatures are rising, which means linen season

Temperatures are rising, which means linen season is here! The @universalstandard Linen Collection launches today as a pre-sale for the next 48 hours, and only 500 pieces of each style are available. They gifted me the Dune Linen Shirt Dress to try, and I’m in love. It’s high quality, super versatile, perfect for hot weather, and also has a little bit of stretch in it. Forget the scratchy, stiff linen pieces you’ve had in the past: this linen is lovely and available in sizes 00-40!

Swipe through to see this linen shirt dress styled 4 ways. I have a full blog post up with more photos and details about the collection and sizing - link is in my bio.

Not into linen but love US? Use my code AUTHEMMIE10 to take 10% off your next purchase (excluding linen) like the foundation tank dress, Joni high rise curve skinny jeans, or foundation tank top that I’m wearing in these photos.

Questions? Let me know! Which is your favorite?
