If you've got it, flaunt it – and that's just what a proud plus-size woman did after she experienced a body-shaming incident at a Louisiana Old Navy.
According to BuzzFeed, Rachel Taylor said she posted an image of herself on Facebook after she overheard a mother and daughter pick up a tank top in her size to joke about how many people could fit in it.
After feeling sad – and leaving the store to cry in her car – she went back into the store and tried on the shirt.
"I ended up buying that tank top because, it turns out, I look fierce in it!" Taylor wrote on Facebook. "Be kind. Think about others before you speak. And if someone hurts you, you have to move on."
The image has since gone viral, with more than 227,000 likes and 10,000 shares by Wednesday morning.
Old Navy, thank you for having adorable clothes for all shapes & sizes. I'd like to tell you the story behind this tank...

Even Old Navy had something to say about Taylor's photo.
"Rachel, you are amazing," the retailer commented. "We want to celebrate your fierce style by sending you a gift card. Please keep an eye out for a message from us!"
