Something I’m learning along the way, you’ve just got to let it go.
Please know that I am right there with you - wearing plaid is on a long list of insecurities that I’m still learning to conquer. Have you ever let your insecurities hold you back? Whether from doing certain activities, or wearing outfits that don’t hide what society tells us is unacceptable? Perhaps you do this now? That and everything matched exceptionally well with my favorite pair of sneakers *wink wink* Who cares if the lines bend, my thighs touch, it is what it is and I still feel great! Life is way too short to let these things, and dare I say the insecurities of others - ‘cause that’s what it’s truly about - hold me back from doing and wearing what I love… Maybe it comes with age, or I simply lost my reason to care, but I just don’t have it in me to worry about such trivial things anymore. What I hadn’t realized, was that hearing these things, slowly started to creep and affect my self-esteem.įor the longest time, I refused to wear plaid, hearing these old ‘wives tales’ in my head, that my body could not wear such items.
I remember being told that I shouldn’t wear plaid because straight lines aren’t supposed to curve - crazy right?! It’s too busy for curvy girls…the list goes on. I have a love/hate relationship with plaid. These made me a bit nervous when I first bought them. While the bodice is a solid material, the sleeves are semi-mesh, allowing for things to air out in the heat. The thing I love the most about this top is that it’s light and airy, while still allowing enough coverage to keep me warm in cooler weather. One of my favorite looks this summer is this red and blue combination from New York and Company… Someone asked me about this once, it seems the trend is more earth tones or colors that easily transcend season to season: blacks, grays, creams, etc.īut what is life without some color? Whenever I put on something bright and vibrant - especially pink - my mood is instantly uplifted. Luckily, I’m still in the process of transiting my closet, so I was able to find the perfect outfit that’s perfect for those in-between moments of Summer and Spring. I don’t know about you, but it’s giving me whiplash… With Summer right around the corner, it’s been a struggle trying to balance the warmer weather we’re facing, with the cooler weather of Spring that can’t seem to make up its mind whether it wants to stay or go.
