Ashley Alexiss Celebrates 'Progress' In Her Birthday Suit

Ashley Alexiss knew how to keep it sexy and motivating as she posed in her birthday suit to celebrate "progress." The model, swimwear designer, and Instagram star is already a respected figure in the world of body positivity, and this photo was proof of why. Posting for her two million+ fans, Ashley wowed with a sensual and almost vulnerable snap, showing off her famous curves as she used a cushion to protect her modesty and also earning respect from her fans. Ashley was the first plus-size model to walk for Sports Illustrated Swim. Now, she's running a swim and lingerie empire as she continues to prove that "Beauty is not a size."

Ditching her signature bikini for an all-skin look, Ashley posed seated and outdoors, backed by a green hedge. Snapping a selfie from a dark couch with rattan accents, the Boston model beauty showed off her shapely legs and shoulders while folding her legs around a light cushion.

Posing barefoot, Ashley also ditched the makeup for a genuinely natural vibe. She also lost the bombshell curls look as she rocked her light locks swept up into a simple, top-knot bun.

Hiding her massive cleavage and not offering much on the hips, Ashley drove fans to focus on positivity. She directed the camera while writing: "Progress not perfection."

A like quickly came in from heavyweight bikini bombshell Lindsey Pelas.

Fans, meanwhile, have been flooding the comments. "Sucks because we all have been there! One hour at a time, one day at a time, one month at a time. Progression is key! We are here for you!" one fan replied as they sent love. Fans were, however, also appearing to pick up on an apparent recent breakup mention.

Chances are, anyone reading this would put a ring on it!

"Thinking of you, Ashley. You're definitely in my prayers. You're a strong girl; I know you will get through this. ❤️ you look great as always," another fan replied, with a third saying: "There's so many people behind what you stand for and who you are. Honestly, perfection is overrated. I don't know why things happen like they do, but I'm thinking of you."

Ashley knows positivity sells, but so does a smoking hot model showing off her designs. In June, Ashley went flower power girl in a skimpy bikini from a gorgeous beach as she promoted her popular Shop Alexiss range. Fans can shop her inclusive pool and beach pieces; there's also tons of sexy lingerie on offer for spicy nights. For more from Ashley, follow her Instagram account or check here!
