As I’m starting to feel more comfort in my body at the size I currently am I am learning not only to embrace the shape but how to dress for my body. For years I really didn’t like shopping. I would start off excited and then slowly come to hate it. Either one of two things would happen. I would love the way I look in something then try it on and then hate it. The other thing that would happen I would love the way I look and then I would look at the price of the item and immediately put it back because of the price. If either one of these things happened I would find myself at the sale rack buying something that I just felt okay in because I wanted to buy myself something. I would like it okay but I wouldn’t be happy because it wasn’t what I really wanted.
Over the years I’ve gotten okay with spending more money on myself. Thank goodness I did because I am actually liking shopping more. There are actually more options out there now, so most body types can find something flattering to suit them. These plus size mini dresses, for example, are perfect for wearing to a party. Another thing I am doing is stop tearing myself apart and finding ways to embrace my body. I used to hide my body. Buying things that were too big because I was trying to hide my weight gain and the times I was feeling confident my clothes were too small. So I had to find things that were a happy medium. I no longer want to hide my body but I don’t want to overdo it either. I know there are fat reduction procedures like cryosculpting available. You can consult your cosmetic doctors to see what works for you. If you are from Singapore, you might want To find out more about coolsculpting in Singapore. Contact Only Aesthetics today! Anyway, in my case, I am happy with my body and I’m okay with the way it is.
Two weeks ago I was shopping for an event I had coming up on Macy’s website. I had already looked around elsewhere and checked out a beautiful CeliaB Dress; although it was stunning, I didn’t think it was my style (yet!). At Macy’s, I came across the cutest pink dress I have ever seen. The dress was a little form fitting but it looked so nice that I just had to have it. Plus it had a great price so I purchased. The dress is a Bar III Buckle-Detail Bodycon Sweater Dress, Created For Macy’s. The dress was also kind of pricey for me. It was $41.70. I started to find reasons to not purchase the dress but I forced myself to purchase it and a few other items. When the dress came in the mail I immediately tried it on and I felt just so pretty and the dress was super comfortable. I loved the way it felt on my skin. It didn’t highlight any of the parts of my body that I’m not currently happy with. I just felt absolutely amazing wearing it. So of course I had to capture the moment with a photo shoot.
This dress really had me feeling great about myself. It’s not something I would normally wear. It is totally out of my comfort zone. I’m not going to lie I could name a dozen reasons why I should take it off . But I only needed one reason to keep on. Every time I found a reason I reminded myself of how I felt and why I bought it. My confidence was through the roof. I want to keep this feeling going.
