I finally did it

I finally bought new jeans. For those of you not a medium sized thickie as myself, this is terrifying. I'm always wearing tights, mostly because I do not know my size in pants and did not want to know because that would make all the weight I gained REAL & not this fashionable thing people want to make it be sometimes.

What made me do it?

👖tired of complaining about never having anything to wear (I donated most of clothes because they felt childish)

👖wanting to find my sense of style started with being real about what I had and needed to do

👖 tired of feeling not put together and living in sweats and Ts

👖needed that push to lose the weight and get to the version of me I wanted to be

Are you ready to finally do it?

The jeans I ended up getting were the curvy flare stretch from American Eagle. Size 12

... Read moreFor many, the journey to discover one’s personal style can feel overwhelming, especially when faced with body image concerns. Embracing body positivity and finding the right fit can revolutionize your wardrobe. Today, countless brands now celebrate diverse body types, offering trendy options specifically designed for curvy figures. Choosing the right denim can greatly impact one’s confidence. It’s essential to explore various styles such as curvy fit jeans that accommodate shape and size, providing comfort and a flattering silhouette. The curvy flare stretch jeans from American Eagle aren’t just fashionable; they represent a shift in the retail industry towards inclusivity. The notion of ‘real’ versus ‘fashionable’ can create internal struggles. Many individuals share the same concerns about weight and sizing; it’s essential to remember that fashion should be enjoyable and empowering. Instead of focusing on numbers on a label, consider how clothing makes you feel. Understanding body shape and style is vital in selecting pieces that resonate with personal aesthetics. Social media platforms and online communities play a significant role in supporting those on similar journeys. By sharing experiences and style tips, we can cultivate a space that encourages acceptance and confidence. Participating in hashtags like #WeightLossTransformation or #CurvyFashionFinds can connect you with a broader community that shares your challenges and triumphs in fashion. Ultimately, the process of discovering and embracing personal style is a unique experience for everyone. By remaining open and willing to explore, we find not only clothing that enhances our body but also a more profound appreciation for ourselves.

Listennnnn NOT wanting to know is REAL! That was me until a few weeks ago! I started to cry in that dressing room, BUT as soon as I logged into Instagram I remembered women pay a lot of money to be shaped like I am naturally. 😂🤭
