 "#WeWearWhatWeWant: Plus size women take to Twitter, teach us about bodyshaming")
Why should it be okay for a skinny model to don her favorite clothes and be showered with praises and for a plus sized woman to wear what she likes and be shamed? It’s not fair, and so, these plus-sized women took internet over and fought this stereotype by posting pictures of them in their favourite “socially unacceptably” outfits. Talk about breaking the rules and embracing yourself, Simone Mariposa has done it the right way! After reading a story where a girl was made to feel uncomfortable for what she chose wore while travelling, Simone Mariposa started #WeWearWhatWeWant campaign and encouraged her followers to post selfies with the hashtag to help them feel comfortable in their body type.

Within minutes of her announcement, Twitter was swamped with plus-sized women sharing their pictures in their favorite piece of clothing to get over these common “fashion rules”. Here are some of the tweets from the campaign:
