I am a secret lurker by not commenting, but I have to comment. I love love your attitude. I have been in my happy phase for over 20 yrs, ïts the best. I am a black British/America girl. I have traveled the world most times alone, because my friends don't like to travel. I don't worry about my size I am 5.5 180lb, and I am not on a diet. I eat what I want, but as long as my blood pressure/ sugar and lab work is good. It's full steam ahead. I am also a hospice nurse, so I understand to live life without worrying about what anyone outside of my job think. I did not or would not wait until I am a size 2 to dress how I want, go where I want or do want I want, The time you spend sometimes yrs waiting until you are a certain size, to do the things you want. You can never get these time back. All I care about is to stay as healthy and well as I can. At 61 if I die today I know I have lived a full life, and still going. Thanks for your lovely message.

As I’m in my “Mimi getting healthy” era, I am so appreciative of all you do. I have lost 60 pounds so far since April, and you have helped me find “next size down” clothing that doesn’t break the bank as I continue on this journey. I too am in Houston, so I know how important cool and comfortable is in our long summer heat. Thank you for all you do!

I absolutely love this! Thank you for all the reviews you do. I never would have tried or thought to try Halara. I didn't really expect them to be plus size friendly. I absolutely love the the black overalls, the blue flowy jumpsuit and the waffle pants on you. I'd love to see a video featuring the items that you didn't feature in this video, as well. Nothing in my closet fits as I'm working on reducing my size for health reasons. My husband gave me a budget and told me to get some pieces that would work for me now and over the next few months. They currently have a sale on the website with mix and match possibilities at different price points. I ended up ordering 3 tops, one pair of pants, one long skirt, one jumpsuit and 2 active skirts. All for under $225. Can't beat that!!!

1. I LOVE those pants and blouse! I totally think you could wear that to the office. Cute with a tucked in top or a tunic. Top it with a blazer or cardigan when it’s chilly. You could wear that style in multiple color combos. Looks SO good on ya! 🩷🖤 2. Linen look green pants. They look summery in that color. I think it would look super summery with a cute romantic, femme top! 💚🤍💚 3. That is the most elegant SKORT I have ever seen! You SHOULD wear it to the office! Love your hack with the top! 🩵🩵🩵 4. I always have overalls/jumpsuits so it’s nice when they come back in style because I’m gonna wear them whenever I want. LOL Cute to wear even at the office! And also cute to wear around the house. Looks comfy! 🖤🖤🖤 5. Ohhhhhhhhh…Frost Clear Haze Is GORGEOUS. I would dress that up with accessories and wear that to a nice dinner out with hubby. The front looks amazing with the 3x size but I see the excess in the back so 2x is probably how you should go. That is the one to keep for sure but everything looked adorable on you. 🩵

Hi Meredith, I just wanted to thank you. I placed a Halara order for sensible classic looking work pants using your code and when the items came I loved 80 percent of them, returned the rest for a slight size issue. I opted for a gift card instead of a refund, which will work great now that I have figured out my best style. I have really really wanted to order a pair of white pants for summer but didn’t, because I thought they might make me look bigger. I came back to this video to get an item name, watched the video again, and this time the words you said about loving yourself as you are while working on yourself finally sunk in. I have seen you wear white and you look lovely. I’m getting my white pants, and feel excited and happy about it, I think I will look darling. Thanks so much for your positivity, sensibleness, and your style. Sometimes we just need a friend to remind us we deserve nice things.

I need to get on the happy girl bandwagon. I love how real you are. I have learned so much about plus-size clothing.

I love it all!! The silver jumpsuit was fabulous and the green slacks were great. I loved the pink slacks, too, because of the color. Also the black jumpsuit was amazing. I'll stop now, but it was a great haul!! Keep smiling that sunshine smile, Meredith. Love ya!

Most favorite - frosty jumpsuit. Least favorite - the blue skirt. I'd keep everything but the skirt. Just my two cents.

I love the black overalls the most. Just looks very comfortable as well as good on.

I was worried about the pink pants, but they were cute. I would wear all of those… they looked so comfy. I think I could definitely size down. I do remember the FedEx man. 😂

lol! Yes I remember the fedex man. I had a similar issue back in the day, when LALaw & Susan Dey blouses were all the rage. I flashed in a restaurant with coworkers present, but they missed the show and I was so embarrassed. ❤ Ps I loved those pink pants and everything else too.

Love the gray jumpsuit on you. I’ve been impressed with Halara for a while now and might have to try them. Thank you for making such great content. Always a happy spot in my day. You are a fantastic communicator.

Some interesting pieces. I like the unexpectedness of some of them😊😊

Regarding the wide-leg vs skinny-leg vs anything-in-between pants debate, I honestly think you look quite good in any of them, as long as they fit properly. I'd love to see you play with silhouettes and experiment with different cuts and styles, especially as you've come quite a ways in how you see your body. (I selfishly want you to enter your shorts era so I can see how some wildly different styles sit at different points, but that's a separate matter. pants of many styles are fun!)

You wear that light gray jumpsuit to the office and FedEx man will come to the office everyday of the week! And that is my favorite outfit and that belt totally finished it off. I’m not a green girl but really, I liked everything you tried! I’ve shied away from this brand before but I’ll look again! I hope your day is as amazing as you are Meredith! 😊😊😊

Hahaha- you crack me up on the FedEx man!! You know, I think their activewear is pretty good for low impact exercise, but struggled with it rolling at Pure Barre. That said, I was so impressed with this stuff all around!! I think they need to branch out into more super-comfy workwear!

The pink pants are a winner, they looked great. I wouldn't have thought to look to Halara for clothes like this, but I'm always looking for good looking clothes that are wicking for travel. I have to do a lot of "sink laundry" when I'm traveling, so quick drying is always great--good looking, even better.

Well, I will take ‘that looks better on you than the model’ any day!! I really considered sizing down initially, but being right between the sizes, and them carrying activewear, I was concerned that the smaller size would do some serious clinging. Not the case with this one!

Janet, thank you so much! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and share your thoughts. We are very similar in size! I always feel like it is refreshing when I see a model that reflects my body type on a website because I don’t have to imagine what things will look like on me - that is one of the biggest reasons that I have continued doing this (and, I really like trying on clothes!). Not having the same taste is natural- if we all liked the same stuff, the fashion industry wouldn’t be as vast and amazing as it is! I really appreciate you!!

lol yea I remember one of those embarrassing moments that became funny

This really was surprising, who knew! And yes I laughed so hard when you told the fedex man story.

I appreciate this haul because I have been wondering about Halara. Loved this haul and your comments about the plus-sized beautiful body! I really want a jumpsuit, and this one looked great on you!

🤣🤣 on my FedEx man! I am so happy that Halara is branching out, these were really comfortable and stylish, but I never would have thought to look at them for jumpsuits or dress pants! I have worn several pairs of their workout leggings- after a good amount of time, I really think that they are great for walking or low impact activity. When I wear them to Pure Barre, they will roll down. That said, the ones that perform the best at pure Barre (Athleta, Lululemon, and this Amazon knock off pair) are really tight and not comfortable walking- so they all have their place!

Great Clothes!

You wear wide leg pants beautifully. I even preferred the pink pants when you wore them lower as opposed to at your actual waist.

Hi Meredith! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I'm not an active wear fan. Thank you for showcasing another side of Halara. I especially liked the Rayon blend slacks. (Hope they come in lots of pretty colors) I'm a hot bodied woman and need the breathability of natural fiber clothing.
