Let’s go back to 4th of July weekend, when lovely Rachel found herself shopping at Old Navy and  overheard a teenage girl telling her mother:

“Look! Me and so-and-so can fit in this tank top!” Her mom laughed and said, “Yeah, you could! That thing is huge!”
At the time the girl was holding an oversized tank top and showing it to her mom. The top happened to be in Rachel’s size.

Rachel admits she felt so hurt she even left the store and sobbed inside her car, she eventually went back but not only she finished her shopping, she also got the top!

Rachel shared the story behind the tank-top she wore on 4th of July on Facebook, saying she got it because she “looked fierce in it” and thanking Old Navy for having clothes in all sizes.

Her picture has now been shared over 225,000 times and Old Navy have even sent her a gift card (bonus!), reports say.
