I think freeing your natural self is always super liberating. I’ve found it humbling to know that I no longer feel the need to have my hair bleached to feel beautiful. I’m still learning to cope with and tame my natural hair, but if you have any wavy/curly hair tips, please share!
Over the past few years, I struggled with coming to terms with becoming curvier. I went from a very skinny Minnie to more curvaceous quite suddenly, and I do think I’m learning to love it more. Although, I remember once someone at work saying, “Thank goodness you’re skinny, otherwise we couldn’t call you Skinny Minnie. It wouldn’t work!” That sort of stuff sticks, but nonetheless, I love this dress and will absolutely continue wearing it π€β¨π₯.
I remember thinking, “I’ll start posting videos on my dress Instagram when I feel slimmer, when I feel prettier, more myself.” It’s such a joke really because I wouldn’t have posted for the past year if I’d stuck to that motive. I think as human beings, we tend to embrace a finish-line mentality: when you reach this goalpost, it’ll feel right or be easier. Yes, there are practical goalposts to reach for some things, but in most cases, we’re just telling ourselves we’re not good enough now. Life is way too short to tell yourself, “next year” or “when I’m feeling in better shape.” Wear the outfit, post the photos, and just enjoy the now. Guaranteed, you’ll look back and think you looked amazing back then β€οΈπ₯πβ¨
