I size up to M in all this activewear and from walking, Pilates, and even weightlifting nothing bunches or feels uncomfortable; and it’s even better when it’s on sale! The material is so soft and forgiving.

Ambassador Aundrea here!!! 
Old Navy has been having the cutest items lately, and I can’t stay out of their stores! This denim skirt is a MUST HAVE for me! It has such a relaxed fit, super flattering in my curvy and tall figure! While it comes in many colors, I love this dark/black color!
Allison’s Shapewear Dress [6′, size medium or 8/10]
Dress [true to size]
This dress came up in my feed soooo many times, that I felt like it was geared towards me! It has BUILT IN shape wear, and is the perfect length for my 6 foot frame! This dress comes in champagne, blue and black, and is crazy comfortable, and would be perfect for upcoming holiday events, or a wedding! It’s a little tricky getting on due to the full shape wear, but definitely worth the struggle!

Just bought this sweater dress from Target and took it on my tropical vacation. It’s so light and airy that it didn’t feel warm or heavy, it was perfect for a beach dinner. But I can totally see myself layering it up with tights and boots when I get back to colder weather.
