THE fitness and nutrition coach who was slammed by wedding guests for her “inappropriate” outfit is attempting to turn the negative experience into a positive.
THE fitness and nutrition coach who was slammed by wedding guests for her “inappropriate” outfit is attempting to turn the negative experience into a positive.
Liz Krueger is a nutrition and fitness coach, so it’s no surprise she’s in excellent shape.
Having worked hard on her body she decided to show it off in a form-fitting, strapless peach mini when she attended a friend’s big day last month — and not everyone was impressed.
“If only I knew that choosing this dress for a wedding on a 90 degree day meant so many women would be outrightly rude to me, and even come up behind me slap my a** as I’m standing alone, and quote ‘It was a dare from her friends, (because) I was a target,’” she wrote on Instagram.
“And then proceed to spill a full beer spilt down my arm. Just one of maaaaany acts of kindness of the night!
“Yup. That happened. Good thing for thick skin, being able to laugh at things and not take it personally, and good friends/hubby by my side.”
Her followers flocked to show their support, with many stunned that people could be so rude.
One said: “I WISH I could wear that dress! I’m sorry that you were exposed to that behaviour … it’s kind of shocking considering that everyone there were friends/relatives of the bride and groom. Best to you!”
Many others expressed the same kind of sentiment, with a lot of women bemoaning the fact they’d never look so hot in a frock so tight.
That’s not to say everyone gave Liz their backing though. Several people online said that while they liked the dress, it maybe wasn’t the right choice for a wedding.
“I wish I looked this good in a dress like that but I wouldn’t wear it to a wedding even if I did,” one said.
Another added: “I know you don’t care about my opinion, but here it comes. The dress seems inappropriate, but they were very wrong in what they did.”
Now Krueger has announced over Instagram that she’s starting a movement called #KruegerKindness to challenge women to support one another through volunteering and random acts of kindness.
“If you want to join me in this movement, share your stories on social media with #KruegerKindness and let’s kill all the mean girls with kindness,” she wrote. “We live in a world that needs more women willing to put themselves out there for a good cause!!!”
