The Fat Gal’s Clothes Shopping Manifesto!
I will: forego every piece of fashion “advice” I have been given beforehand
I will: consider, order and try on clothes that I like, not which I believe will fit
I will: consider, order and try on clothes that may not necessarily “suit” me
I will, consider, order and try on clothes that may not necessarily be my “size”
I will: not purchase clothes that make me feel- self-concious or uncomfortable emotionally
I will: not purchase clothes as an incentive to change my body in any way
I will: no longer ignore stores that I believe don’t cater for me
I will: take a trusted friend if I feel self conscious going in to a store
I will: decide to purchase clothing based on my confidence levels when wearing them
I will: dress for my own needs and happiness
I WILL FIGURE OUT MY STYLE FOR MYSELF.
Pocket Rocket Post: The Fat Gal’s Shopping Manifesto! Or, why style gurus are full of shit
Listen to the very wise Lauren!
Getting dressed should be fun and in the end make you happy. :)
I think this applies to all genders!
