"IDK who needs to hear this but… WEAR A BIKINI IF YOU WANT TO WEAR A BIKINI. You don’t have to be a size 0. Swipe for my storytime and have a great summer. Edited to say: this accidentally sounds like an ad but it’s not — but I mean, if you want to buy ANY high waisted bikini and wear it, tag a pic so I can comment!" she captioned the snapshot.

She continued, "So my very best friend in the world, Jocelyn, is from Hawaii and I would go and visit her when I was in college. What I was struck about Hawaii is that everybody wears bikinis. It doesn't matter what your body type is. You rock a bikini because you're in Hawaii. There's so much body positivity there that I, who was always shy about my body, would wear bikinis."
