“You can’t hate yourself happy. You can’t criticize yourself thin. You can’t shame yourself worthy. Real changes begin with self-love and self-care.” – Jessica Ortner
Hi my beauties! We’ve talked about all things beauty and fashion throughout this blog. We’ve addressed the importance of good skin care, make up, and fashion. However, in the midst of discussing light hearted topics, I would like to talk about how these topics impact more than just our surface level. So have a seat ladies and let’s check in.
I would first like to start off by addressing the season we’re in. Fashion is suppossed to be fun and flirty, akward and quirky. There is no right or wrong way to wear something and feel yourself while wearing it. However, fashion trends during this time of year can prove to be triggering for many. You might be asking yourself, why? It’s because we live in a society that tells us that we can be ready for summer, but summer isn’t always quite ready for us.
We’ve all heard the saying “summer time fine.” I’m sure that most who hear or read this think that those words are nothing more than a saying. I beg to differ. When broken down, that saying can be more detrimental to our society than we think. Why? Because the saying “summer time fine” basically implies that in order to thrive and be our best self during this season, we must alter our appearance to a more summer friendly version. As a consequence, this mentality leads us into a toxic relatioship with something as superficial as what we wear.
I am strong believer in the saying that “when you look good, you feel good.” That feeling isn’t something that should be limited to certain times of the year. The feeling of confidence despite flaws should be widespread, despite the weather or fabric. So ladies, I urge you to wear whatever makes you feel your best throughout this year’s spring and summer season. Wear those shorts, your legs deserve some sunshine! Wear those crop tops and sleeveless shirts, it’s too hot to be wearing hoodies in one-hundred degree weather. But most of all, please remember that there is space for everybody and every shape in this vast world we call fashion.
Wear those crop tops! Tailor them to your style and comfortability and go on sis!
Show your arms! I promise you, you are bigger and bettter than your insecurities.
Find a tribe that uplifts you through your blues and never let them go!
