Why the internet’s suddenly obsessed with #WeWearWhatWeWant

No matter our shape or size, we should be able to wear what we want without being afraid of judgement or nasty body-shaming, right? The answer should be a simple, emphatic YES. And oh hey, there’s good news on this front.

A 23-year-old plus-size model named Simone Mariposa launched a Twitter campaign inspiring women to celebrate their own fashion choices, even if they aren’t sample size.

Naturally, this has gone viral with the hashtag #WeWearWhatWeWant.

Mariposa is spreading love and positivity to women everywhere who just need a little boost of confidence!

Speaking to Buzzfeed News, Mariposa explained that she did this after reading a story about a woman being criticized for her clothing choices. She identified with this struggle, having been unfairly judged for the same thing in her own life.

Mariposa notes that her body image suffered from it. “I stopped wearing my legs and arms out, I stayed away from clothes that accentuated my belly fat, and I was extremely self conscious [in] public.”

But then, a change happened within her. “However, after a while, I stopped letting society dictate my wardrobe, and starting wearing things that I always dreamed of wearing that made me feel beautiful.”

Mariposa’s simple action of tweeting body positivity has truly become a game changer.

No one should be made to feel unworthy or treated disrespectfully because of how they look. Women are taking a stand, once and for all.

This is a WIN for women, and for the body positivity movement.
