Nice fit
I struggle with my clothes a little from time to time. Sometimes body image gets in the way, sometimes fabrics and fits are the culprit.
Clothing makes up such an important part of my identity and confidence. I love most of my clothes, and I’ve worked very hard to build a wardrobe that makes me feel really good. But due to weight fluctuations and change of style over the years I find myself having to adjust it all the time. Is it too much to ask to just be able to keep wearing the same pieces for years and keep feeling good in them (and fitting them)?
I know you’re probably thinking this is a normal part of growing up in your twenties, and I know you’re right. Because as I’m writing this, I’m thinking that too. So, even though this is a normal thing, and as I’m raking in the years I’ll also know my style better and better and will have to replace less and less pieces. Can’t I ask the universe to bring the changes at a little bit of a slower pace? I would love some more time to adjust. Both for me mentally, as for my wallet.
What’s making it even more difficult is that I want to be environmentally friendly with my purchases. Which, if you start doing some research.. is fucking hard. Because so many stores are horrible for the climate and the environment. And there are so many variables to think about that it sometimes feels like an impossible task. So, if any of you have any tips on sources where I can get reliable information, please please let me know. Or if you know of any nice sustainable fashion brands who carry good fitting sizes for midsize girls, also hit me up.
For really special pieces I like Thaluta. I’ve found them on Etsy. Which, I believe, is a good place to start looking for ethical brands. But I really want a nice pair of funky trousers with flowers or other patterns that fit someone with a waist and considerable hips ;)
Anyway, this has been my rant for tonight. It’s probably not that interesting to read. But it’s been nice to write. I sometimes get in my head about having to write something substantial and meaningful everytime. Because otherwise it won’t be worth publishing. But I only write for myself and this is part of my existence. God, that’s deep. Anyway, thanks for reading ‘till the end. See you next time!
