Plus-size teen rocks dress she never thought she'd wear and the photos are so inspiring
Friends can sometimes give us the little nudge we need to try something that we've lacked the confidence to do.
Ashlie Bautista, 18, from Texas, USA, tweeted that her friends convinced her to wear a dress she never thought she'd wear. And, she ended up gaining some confidence in herself.
"So last night, I wore something that I never thought I would wear," wrote Bautista. "I’m very insecure but with the help of my amazing friends for hyping me up, I was able to wear it and gained a little bit more confidence in myself."

Bautista posted a series of photos of her evening out while wearing the dress. And, she looks a vision of happiness!
We should all take a leaf out of Ashlie's book.
