Every time we get swept away by a love story, whether it’s on a dating reality show or in a captivating romance novel, the leading lady is thin. This happens so often that it leads plus size women and girls to question, “Will I ever be able to have my own love story?” Well, how about a #FatGirlInLove story?
If you can’t be what you can’t see, you may begin to internalize this and believe that you aren’t lovable due to your size. But in reality, countless curvy girls star in their own epic love stories because love knows no size.
The team at contemporary plus size brand Ori, known for ultra comfy elevated basics, created the Valentine’s Day series #fatgirlinlove dedicated to sharing the stories of plus-size women in love.
Ori’s #FatGirlinLove Series for Valentine’s Day!
