Woman Shows Herself Dressing Like Celebrities To Show That You Don’t Have To Be Skinny To Look Good
New Yorker Katie Sturino firmly believes that great style can happen at any size. After 10 years of working in PR, she started a blog called the12ish style to introduce girls like her to more size-inclusive fashion and to share her tips and tricks on how to get dressed while being plus.
Katie's blog and Instagram quickly gained thousands of followers as people began to relate to her body-positive message. Finally, here was a happy, healthy woman for whom gaining some weight was not the end of the world. “When I was married, I was very concerned about my body. I was obsessed with maintaining a size 12, or staying close to it,” she wrote in Glamor.
“Then, about three years ago, I got separated and I gained a bunch of weight. At first, I didn’t even realize I was putting it on. I was working out, but it just kept happening. In total, I ended up gaining about 60 pounds. I became a size 16, which I still am, and a surprising thing happened—I really loved my body.”
Katie now runs the beauty brand Megababe on top of her blog, and also finds the time to have a little fun recreating celebrity outfits on Instagram. Scroll down to check out a few of our favorites, and let us know what you think in the comments!

From personal experience, the one piece/pants thing looks pretty awful from behind on anyone over about 90 pounds (similar looks, sans prints, were in in the 70s/80s.)

Sorry can’t see spending allll that money for holes in my pants. Though the outfit is cute.

Maybe it's the angle of the photo, but it looks like Kate hasn't seen a decent meal in a while.
Meghan Markle
Fugly dress regardless of who wears it. Markle has never had much of a waistline though and a dress like this emphasises that.

It's not really the same look though, is it -- only the colors are comparable.

I don't believe size of the fashionista matters, the quality of the outfits and wearing the right size however....that's the difference.
We get it, it's ok to be fat and love yourself, you don't have to post every day about it BP.
You're not even in the same zip code of "getting it"
Load More Replies..."Woman Recreates Celebrity Looks To Prove That Style Is Not Dependent On Size". Yeah, that kind of failed. She looks good, but the styles really do work a lot better on the women on the left.
I don't agree about all the styles. Sometimes an outfit works better if it has some shape to it.
