Being plus size comes with its own challenges. However, my challenge is not being plus size,
but having the nerve to take chances with my fashion. My fashion evolution has come with a price
and that price is a wavering confidence in my fashion choices. I’m by no means a fashionista but I adore
clothes, shoes, and bags.
Once you have collected a closet of basics, it’s easy to
become bored and therefore, the natural place to go is to start adding in
patterns and color. That is where I have
lost my nerve. Of course, I have worn patterns and color but not in a bold
way. My heart beats faster, my palms
sweat, my stomach is in knots, and my head starts to feel fuzzy just thinking
about being bold. My idea of being bold is carrying a contrasting color
handbag. For example, if I’m wearing a
purple outfit, I can carry a red bag. Wow, I’m so nervy!
I want to be bold and brash in my fashion choices. I desire to be loud and obnoxious exactly like
my personality. I want to walk into a room and people look at
me and think, “Oh my! She sure does know
how to put an outfit together.”
Reading plus size blogs have given me the nerve to finally
do this. I’m posting this to keep myself
accountable. I’ve already put together the outfit. I’m given myself two weeks from today to wear
the posted outfit to school! Tic-tic-tic…
