I am never gonna be on the real cutting edge (I don't have the eye/cannot be bothered/don't really enjoy dressing SUPER differently from other people) but I do think that I could be busting out of my rut a little, like maybe not everything I wear could be a knee-length dress? Potentially? I think I might enjoy thinking about what I would *like* to look like, as opposed to just buying what I've always bought because it works for my shape and doesn't make me feel like I stick out.<br /><br />And yeah, I'm really impressed with the way ladies have been increasingly doing it for them(our)selves around fatshion stuff. Because there are more options than ever before (clothes shopping in high school, what a fucking wasteland), but also so many of them are terrible (wtfplus.tumblr.com) and it's great to see people scavenging, adapting, restyling, altering, remaking, even just critiquing what's out there—and it's even better to see independent design and commerce springing up to fill some of the gaps. I'm psyched about the fat women making careers out of knowing about fatness and clothes. Also, I miss when Re/Dress was a brick-and-mortar store in Boerum Hill.

It's so easy to fall into a uniform or rut and then be freaked when outside it. I'm constantly saying to friends & co-workers you could totally pull that off and then I say to myself oh no put that down...um same rules apply. I completely agree with you that confidence and a smile will get you very far and in a multitude of ways. Men, fashion, work all of it.

Then I get a thing or two that super excite me but it's not like I can wear it every day. I feel like there can be a balance between dressing to flatter and taking more risk. More of the clothes are out there then ever have been. I mean if someone wants hotpants in a size 30 they exist which is ahhh-may-zing. I love the Militant Baker, did you see she's doing a crowd funding thing for a body image conference/summit/weekend?

I always tell them "You can wear anything with confidence and a smile" I honestly believe it. If you are unapologetic about an outfit, and you just come out rocking it with confidence people will pick up on that. They'll be thinking what a fashionable person with a great smile.

I've been droning on about it for awhile but am too broke to do the overhaul I envision) and I'm pretty sure it's because in general I dress to "flatter." That's to say, I dress to be "good enough" rather than to be awesome. Gotta work on that. And I do appreciate the style inspiration of fat ladies breakin' rules and takin' names. Do you know the Militant Baker? I love her style.Emhttp://the-fat-girl.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149234459680138738.post-58173175742608481202013-07-26T15:38:55.156-04:002013-07-26T15:38:55.156-04:00I only found out about your blog this week and alr...I only found out about your blog this week and already I think that you are such an inspiration!<br />I am going through the process of changing my entire food and exercise regimen and I can relate to a lot of your posts.<br />Keep them coming!<br />CarlaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2149234459680138738.post-605897472369081772013-07-24T00:44:18.234-04:002013-07-24T00:44:18.234-04:00Love it!
