Styles I like... but am I too fat to pull it off???
I am a big girl... I like fashion, but am scared to dress myself sometimes. I love shopping, but I almost always shop by myself and I don't trust store associates because I feel they just want to make a sell and don't want to hurt my feelings by saying "Honey, with those arms, I wouldn't be wearing a skinny strap tank top." I want to start dressing in something other than jean shorts/sweat shorts/yoga pants and t-shirts that have stains, tears, and bleach spots. I always make sure my boys are dressed nicely and cute... but somewhere along the line I have given up on myself. I get myself a haircut once a year. My ponytails are always... lumpy. My eyebrows tend to get neglected and I do a bad job of tweezing when waxing is so much faster and easier. My nails and feet... I am too ashamed to go there. I have TONS of makeup and really don't know how to put it on correctly or pick the right colors. I can't remember the last time I bought a bra that fit right and matching sexy panties.
Why is it, that when we become mommies, we forget how to take care of ourselves? I take showers often, so I am clean. I stay on top of shaving the pits and legs. Maybe I don't shave all they way up the thigh like I used to... I stop about 2 inches above the knee since that's where my bermuda shorts stop at. I don't even bother to put on at least mascara before going to Walmart. I have even gone so far to not wear a bra if I am just driving to the Food Lion down the road to pick up milk! ACK! I can't believe I even said that. And my girls need a bra on at all times... they are BIG'UNS! I don't even know if I am a DDD, F, G cup size anymore.
Have you ever looked on the People of Walmart website just to be sure you are not on there??? I check weekly... partly because they are funny and I also check to see if anyone I know is on there.
Anyways, I know I have that "Don't like what ya see? Don't look at it then!"- attitude... but I do want to start dressing up a bit more. I saw those outfits above on the plus section on oldnavy.com and I really like them. I love yellows and turquois lately. I just wonder if I wear them would people be thinking "Honey, just cause they make it in your size, doesn't mean you should wear it." Because I have seen people dressed in things that I have to admit the thought has crossed my mind. I don't like to be judgemental but can we really help it at times?! I am sorry, but horizontal stripes and full on animal prints on a big girl can be a bit much. I guess it also depends on the girl sporting the look.
Well, my spider monkeys are starting to get hyped up and bored. And when they get bored, TROUBLE inevitably ensues.

My dear sweet daughter I can see you any of those outfits and you would look beautiful in them...:)
ReplyDeleteI love all the outfits! Don't be so hard on yourself. You're beautiful, intelligent and witty..ok, you're downright hilarious, and it makes me sad to see you put yourself down. There is way more to you than just your body type and anyone who thinks any different needs to re-evaluate their own lives and has their own issues. If you like something, go for it! You only have one life to live, it's too short to hold yourself back from anything. Love ya girl!
ReplyDelete<3 Oh Brianna! How I miss you! Thank you girl... Really I didn't think I was putting myself down. I need to go shopping. BAD! I just hate going by myself or going with the kids. Those fluorescent lights suck ass. Hate them. LOL So it helps to have someone else's eyes tell me what they think. :)
