Target Swimsuit Try-On
In my Thighs and Lows Blog Facebook Group, I have been sharing a series of swimsuit try-ons. In the past, I really dreaded swimsuit season. That meant I had to face the facts, that I didn’t have a body I was proud to show off. Every time I left a dressing room, I was more…
The Online Only Epidemic
It’s a trend that’s catching on in the retail world. A simple action for the fashion industry to relay they are all inclusive without fully committing to anything. The worst part?
