Here’s my second outfit for my st vines challenge.
BODY IMAGE & OUTFIT 2 I remember going to one of my friend’s house show a couple years ago and complimenting this woman’s vintage dress. It wasn’t too often that I found someone wearing such a unique outfit and I loved that someone else was wearing vintage too. Earlier that day, I had found a vintage American apparel velvet dress at goodwill and wore it to the show despite the typical February weather in Wisconsin... 🥶 When I complimented her on the 70s frock, she kept emphasizing that she wore vintage clothes because she was a size zero and nothing fit her. I understood her sentiment; I have fit issues every time I try on clothes. Even ones I own! My sizes range from XS to medium depending upon the brand, the fit, the clothing item, the material, the day of the month, my stress level etc. And the vintage American apparel dress I was wearing was a size large. This whole conversation made me feel insecure about my shape and size when I was trying to connect with her on something I loved (vintage clothes). Size should not define your self worth or happiness. I have curves, cellulite, and blemishes and it’s okay. I’m learning to embrace my body one day at a time. 💗💗💗💗💗 OUTFIT 2 DETAILS: this outfit is entirely thrifted, the sweater and shorts are from @vinnysmadtown ; @jcrew sweater was $9; @urbanoutfitters shorts were $8; Shoes are from @goodwillscwi for $5 originally @target
