Now. Where do I start. And nobody say the beginning, don’t be ridiculous.
I watched a group of women cross the road today. All shapes and sizes, heights, widths, everything. And one lady stood out. She looked really, really large in comparison to the group. As a largest in the group type girl {I am 5’11 and a size 22+} there was something screaming that this wasn’t quite right with this picture.
Her t-shirt fluttered in the breeze. And fluttering suggests room. I pondered. There was room under that expansive t-shirt. Hmm. And as I sat stopped at the lights I watched as she put her hands on her hips, cinching the t-shirt in at the same time. And she was about half the size she appeared to be! Average sized at most.
This realisation got me thinking about all the times growing up I covered up, baggy shirted it up and generally layered it on to HIDE my size. When I think about it now. It was just making me look bigger. badly selected shapes and sizes and types of clothing that did nothing for me. So while shopping this evening {online, finally, hello my newest darling ASOS} I put it into action. This theory.
And yes, I know these drapey, flowing things maybe be fashionable but look what the do to THE SAME MODEL {for the dress one, anyway}. They make her look much bigger than she is. And she’d be what, at 14/16 at best. Here’s what I mean.
See what I mean? I have resolved to clear my wardrobe of the saggy, the baggy and the drapey and make a clean break for structure, tailored and shaped. It really is about the confidence to wear and choose items that suit your body. About knowing your shape and size and wearing clothes that work with you. Rather than against.
Are you wearing clothes that flatter your body and shape?
You know, the one you have NOW.
