Wore green today. Didn't get pinched. Wash your hands. Stay at home. Social distancing doesn’t mean hanging with your friends at home. Don’t be selfish. That's it. That's the caption. 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🍀 . #createyourlane #louisvilleblogger #seethe67 #psootd #plusisequal #celebratemysize #plusmodelmag #visiblyplussize #midlifeblogger #southernblogger #effyourbeautystandards #ltkcurves #tcfstyle #bcxlb https://emmie.me/2w8pFkm

Growing up, I didn't know larger-bodied people could have eating disorders. My entire life I believed that my eating "habits" were because I lacked self-control and discipline.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ It's National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (#NEDAwareness week), and I'm glad it's a week because it took me that long to get through writing my latest blog post, which can be found at the link in my Instagram profile. I'm sharing my experience as someone in recovery from binge eating disorder in hopes of reducing stigma and increasing awareness.⁠⠀ .⁠⠀ #ComeAsYouAre @neda 📷 @bodyimage_therapist https://emmie.me/2Pwavvp

🤣 I loved @dollyparton's post (seriously, her social team is A++++++) and have loved seeing others do the #socialchallenge today. Have you posted one? Let me know so I can check it out. Also, I met my husband on Tinder and don't ever care to go back there again so if you see me, it's not me! I didn't have photos like this on my profile 😂 But, I do have it on my blog (old @natoricompany campaign), so my business is all over the interwebz anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️ https://emmie.me/2RNLe08

Today's casual #ootd 💙 Since the new year, I find I'm gravitating towards some plus size essentials in my closet over and over again. It's been a struggle over the years to find good plus size basics that are a mix of quality and versatility. Today on the blog (link in my profile), I'm sharing a slew of my favorite plus size basics. They're all so good, I own every single one of these items in multiples! Cardigans, tees, leggings, jackets, sports bras, hosiery, flats - see which ones made the list. . What items are you struggling to find? Let me know in the comments! . . . . . . . . #plussize #psootd #plussizeblogger #louisvilleblogger #honormycurves #tcfstyle #30plusstyle #ltkcurves #plusmodelmag #celebratemysize #stylebeyond22 #effyourbeautystandards #kentuckyblogger https://emmie.me/2u3uOJ4

⁣#ad Some of you know I already have some Christmas trees up, but that doesn't mean I'm skipping Thanksgiving! We're heading to Virginia for Thanksgiving, and I don't think it would be cool of me to wear old sweatpants, a hoodie, and no bra 😂 This ultra-comfortable outfit from @catherinesplus is a great casual option. Packing it in my suitcase!

🚨 Final Hours - I need your help 🚨 Life has changed so much in a decade! After 10 years of blogging, I need your help to figure out where to go from here. I have a reader survey up that should take no more than 5 minutes to complete. It's been open for a bit, but this is the final stretch - I'm closing it tomorrow at 11:59PM ET. As a sweetener, I'm giving away a $100 gift card to one of the survey respondents, drawn at random. If you've followed me for a month or longer, please check out the link in my bio. All open and honest feedback is very much appreciated. 💗 https://emmie.me/2nsBMEk

This week, I've been in Montana for work. Had a great time, but I'm happy to head home in time for the weekend. Shared this on my Stories- perfect travel outfit. Doesn't wrinkle in the suitcase, feels like PJs, and the dress and duster are a combined $40ish or so from @amazonfashion. It will also be great later in fall with tights or leggings and boots. Links to shop are in my Stories (many colors 🌈) The size charts are pretty accurate, so reference those before buying. I'm wearing the 5x in both - could have done a 4x in the duster. Any plans this weekend? #amazonfashion #louisvilleblogger #plusmodelmag #celebratemysize #midlifefashion #over30style #psootd https://emmie.me/34SB8kx

⁣Sliding back into bed after brunch because it's a holiday weekend and I can! 🎉 Seriously, best feeling ever. 😴 #sponsored - We've officially had our @bigfigmattress for 1 year, and can't say enough good things about it. The reduction in back pain (Steve) and hip pain (me) has been game-changing. I thought we had a great mattress before Big Fig, but it wasn't made to properly support larger bodies like mine for the long haul. ⠀ ⠀ If you've not heard about #BigFigMattress or want to read more about my experience, I linked the original blog post in my bio. They're having their largest sale ever - $300 off any Big Fig Mattress through Tuesday, September 3rd. Use code AUTHEMMIE at checkout for this discount so they know I sent you. I would *never* recommend something that I didn't believe in or stand behind, and this is especially true with an item as large as a mattress. There is a 120-night guarantee, so if you decide it's not the mattress for you, you can easily return it for a full refund. Questions? Fire away!⠀ ⠀ Who else is sleeping in on Monday?! 🙆🏻‍♀️⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #bigfig #plussizeblogger #louisvilleblogger #30plusstyle #effyourbeautystandards #visiblyplussize #plusmodelmag #celebratemysize #pmmlovemybody https://emmie.me/2MMb19b

⁣Will I ever tire of off-the-shoulder dresses? Doubtful 🤷🏻‍♀️ This @anthropologie dress is a whole end-of-summer mood. @glamourmag named it "best cocktail dress" in their #plussize fashion awards, so the fact I hung out in it on a random Saturday tells you all you need to know about how I am usually overdressed for all occasions 😂⠀ ⠀ Link to the dress is in my bio (comes in petite, standard, and plus sizes!) or you can find it on my neglected LIKEtoKNOW.it profile. https://emmie.me/2MQKiIf #liketkit @liketoknow.it #LTKcurves ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #anthropologie #aplusbyanthropologie #30plusstyle #louisvilleblogger #plusmodelmag #visiblyplussize #plussizefashion #fullfiguredfashion #plussizeblogger #honormycurves #effyourbeautystandards #celebratemysize #glamour https://emmie.me/2NHtSli

🎤 "...'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket, and the other one is posting on Instagrammmm!" 🎵 Admittedly, my lyrics need some work, but you know pockets make everything better. #ad New on the blog, I'm sharing this @ullapopkenusa look and giving some insight into fit. I was thrilled to see their extensive amount of extended plus sizes, which are very much needed right now. I'd love if you took at look at the blog post, linked in my bio 💜 @ullapopken_de #ullapopken #bodydiversity #ullawomen #ullamodels #iamrightthisway #30plusstyle #louisvilleblogger #plusmodelmag #visiblyplussize #plussizefashion #fullfiguredfashion #plussizeblogger #honormycurves #effyourbeautystandards #celebratemysize https://emmie.me/2KWII5t

⁣Had a lot of fun at @lanebryant in the Paddock Shops today! 🎉 Thank you to everyone who came out. If you didn't make it out, or aren't in the area, get thee to your local store TODAY (Sat) to snag your $45 #flexmagicwaistband denim 👖 plus a free panty with each denim purchase. (Is "panty" a weird word to anyone else?!?) #sponsored⠀ ⠀ I also must thank the team at Lane Bryant in the Paddock Shops. 💗 They are genuinely wonderful and want to make you look and feel your best. There are so few places #plussize women can shop in-store these days. I forget how nice it is to have a store I can walk into and have a really lovely shopping experience with helpful and fun store associates. ⠀ ⠀ I hope everyone is having a great weekend! ☀ ⠀ 📷@whatnicolewore⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #createyourlane #lanebryant #louisvilleblogger #plusmodelmag #visiblyplussize #plussizefashion #fullfiguredfashion #plussizeblogger #honormycurves #effyourbeautystandards #plusmodelmag #celebratemysize #tcfstyle #30plusstyle https://emmie.me/33zae0e

I've felt out of sorts for a while now. Things on paper seem great, but a fog of insecurity and doubt has made things fuzzy. As someone whose business is staying connected to social media every day (not just for my blog, but for my @authenticallysocial clients) I think a lot of it has gotten to me. There's only so much perfection and happiness you can scroll through before you start to wonder if you measure up. The past few weeks I've pulled back on excess scrolling to try to quiet the noise. . This selfie was taken last week at a local quarry that you can float in (it's very deep, so they require a float at all times.) Last summer, I thought about going every weekend, but I didn't. I thought it might be full of cute girls on their donut floats 🍩 and bikinis and I didn't want to put myself in a situation where I might be overly critical of my body. This year, I psyched myself up thinking maybe I could go and get some cute photos of myself in a pretty swimsuit riding a massive unicorn 🦄float. But thinking through the logistics of getting my 9 foot unicorn inflated and deflated, plus trying to get on it without flipping over and having a wardrobe malfunction at the same time seemed daunting. So I shrugged it off for weeks until 2 weeks ago. With my safety net of a husband in tow, I put on a basic and functional swimsuit, left the unicorn at home, and instead took a basic round tube to float on. It was even more relaxing than I thought it could be, and I didn't even think about getting a shot for the 'gram. . Life isn't perfect and I know we all have things we're not doing because we're afraid the expectation and reality won't match. Next time you hesitate, consider if you're doing it for the photos or doing it for the experience. I wanted to float, so floating is what I did! 💦 // Written at 2am because I can't sleep.

⁣#sponsored Practicing my casual style with @catherinesplus! I skew to being a little more formal, but that's simply because I don't have a lot of casual basics I love. Add this tank and these dark wash jeans to my casual rotation. Plus, the embroidered cardigan adds a little something special, while remaining cool and easy.⠀ ⠀ ❓Does your style skew more formal or casual? Or are you a master of both?⠀ ⠀ Link in bio to the post with all the details behind this look. 📷 @emilymoseleyphoto⠀ ⠀ #stylethatlovesyou #catherinesstyle #louisvilleblogger #seethe67 #psootd #plusisequal #celebratemysize #plusmodelmag #visiblyplussize #midlifeblogger #southernblogger #effyourbeautystandards #tcfstyle https://emmie.me/2JKNvX6

⁣#WhatLiftsYou - For me, it's being able to share experiences of existing in a body that looks different, openly dealing with life's ups and downs, confronting insecurity of feeling "other," and realizing I'm not alone!!! There's so much power and connection that comes from vulnerability.❤ Also? Bourbon 🥃, glitter ✨, and coffee ☕⠀ ⠀ Love this new @kelseymontagueart mural at @shopwestportvillage, just 5 minutes from my house! If you're in Louisville, head over to Westport Village tonight (Thursday) from 6-8pm to grab a photo and enjoy live music with Billy Goat Strut Revue and dancing with LindyHop Louisville.⠀ https://emmie.me/2NNN2Yh
