Alicia McCarvell showed off her curves in a blue bikini with her husband, Scotty, as she proved the haters wrong.

In a recent Instagram post, she revealed how a single crop top “changed her life”.
Wearing the piece of clothing altered her perspective of what she could wear, and encouraged her to stop “hiding”.
Alicia said: “We all deserve to show up, confidently.
“Clothing was a catalyst for change in my life, the bathing suit on the beach and a crop top and a pair of tight jeans.”
But now, Alicia doesn’t care what people think and doesn’t let their opinions decided what she wears.
She is often spotted on social media showing off her gorgeous curves in bikinis while relaxing at the pool with her husband.
The brunette beauty continued: “Life is too short to make yourself uncomfortable trying to make others comfortable.
“No experience is worth missing because of how you feel temporarily.
“You deserve to take up space, everywhere you go.
“So wear the clothes: the bathing suit, the shorts, the tank top, the dress and the crop top.”
But it’s not the first time Alicia has had to speak up on inclusion for all body shapes.
In the past, Alicia has had to deal with cruel trolls who claim her husband is with her for money.
Alicia called out the mean trolls who claimed her husband had ‘settled’ or was dating her ‘for free WiFi and a mansion.’
She curated the nasty comments together over a picture of herself and her partner Scotty.
