She took a 'hot girl vacay' with her content creator bestie Balkanina to FloridaCredit: TikTok/taryntruly.UnfilteredMidsize content creator Taryn (@taryntruly.Unfiltered) calls herself "your size 14, apple shape fashion sister."
She schools people on plus-size and midsize style through her online community called Midsize University.
In a TikTok video, she took a step back from her typical content to show herself having some fun with her friend.
She was joined by her "midsize mom bestie" and fellow content creator Balkanina.
The gal pals were on a "hot girl vacay" in Florida and let their unique body shapes and confidence shine through.
They danced in front of the camera, laughed, and bumped butts, while decked out in summer outfits.
"That moment when you and your bestie take a hot girl vacay and wear the short shorts and swimsuits because midsize moms are baddies, too," the subtitle over them read.
Taryn wore a white short sleeve blouse that she tucked into a brown maxi skirt with a high slit and completed the look with tan sandals and black sunglasses.

The newest TikTok trend taking over our FYP is the concept of a "beige flag." Not a green flag or a red flag, but that grey area in between. Our beige flag? We like to dress in beige. Neutrals never go out of style! Just look at some of the biggest fashion icons of our time — Kim Kardashian swears by neutral tones (even her home is reportedly all-ivory), Rihanna's Instagram feed is basically all muted shades and Hailey Bieber is the queen of elevated basics in a classic color palette.
