I find therapy in shopping, its therapeutic.
Not everyone has a sense of fashion. Some people wear things that just doesn't flatter their bodies or their personalities. Especially women. For me when I shop I don't necessary look at how a garment hangs on the hanger, but imagine the way it would hang on my body shape. I have a small frame at the top, small waist, but wide hips! and small calves. So I look for clothing, that has the hour glass shape but also gives me room around my hips. I don't force myself into anything that doesn't do my body or my confidence any good. I am also very curvy, so there's not much room for tight fitting clothes. A great loose outfit hangs beautifully on me. Some women force themselves in a shirt that gives their breast no time apart from each other; so they're breast try to escape through their cleavage. There is also a not so flattering rule to wearing your clothes too loosely. Why wear something that is too big on your body and gives your shape no voice or appearance. I tell my friends all the time, wear clothes in which you are comfortable in. Something that does not consist of constant adjusting, pulling, or fixing. That is not comfort, but that is the constant need of not being sure of what you are wearing. But something that can carry itself; by making you look flattering without having to constantly remind your clothes of what to do. Many times a person may see someone on TV or in a magazine with a flattering outfit on and assume that they can wear it too. No no no.. You can have that sense of style but not the exact fit.
For curvier women, like myself. I can see a woman in a short skirt, that looks amazing on her, and even though the skirt is short is doesn't look like evening wear because her frame is small. But for me since I'm a 27 in a waist but a 46 in the hips, I could wear the skirt but put on some flattering tights with it so that it won't put so much attention on my butt, rather than my long legs.. Its called emphasizing and not copy catting. You have to find your sense of fashion and not grasp to someone else's. There are a lot of women wearing clothes in which they really shouldn't, but think that it looks good on them because they are able to get it on. That is not a good scenario.
I am also one of those people who do not feel as though I have to match EVERYTHING! Have you ever seen those women who have the earrings to match with the purse, the belt, ring, eye shadow and so forth. I hate that! Even though it may work for some of you, I don't necessarily try to do it. I can put some dark pants on with a red shirt, and throw on some leopard shoes, and absolutely pull it off! it's called confidence. My shoes barely ever match what I have on, but it is how you wear it, and the confidence you wear it with.
And if you heard it before, you're going to hear it again. Every woman does not have to be skinny in order to look great! I'm not skinny, I have curves, and I think curves are absolutely beautiful on women.
Women that are unique in their own way is what I find to be beautiful! The different shapes and curves of every woman is the story in which she has about her own body. Why would a woman want to change her own story in order to tell the story of another woman's shape. I absolutely love my body, I wouldn't trade it for anything. Even though at times I have to get my pants altered in the waist area, or can't pull some pants up over my hips. I wouldn't trade it! Love yourself, love your body, find your own definition of your fashion style, and give the statement of a lifetime.
