Last summer I said that when I wrote about bathing suits I would start each post with an encouraging statement. I wrote this post last year but with the 4th of July being less than a week away it is a great time for a reminder than it is not worth missing out on things because of your relationship with your body.
I think back to all the years I wouldn’t take a picture in a swimsuit. The summers with friends where I would run to the bathroom or to the bar to get a drink when the cameras came out. I can remember wrapping a towel tightly around my waist when I couldn’t find a way to escape them asking me to join their picture. It’s sad, I was creating so much angst for my body in my own head.
This space has been a place for me to share and encourage you, but it has also been a place where I have grown personally. This photo shoot in my ModCloth suit was the first time I felt true freedom in my body. Changing how you see yourself is not an overnight fix. Full disclosure, there are still days I have to choose to love my body. But I will tell you this, you will never regret making that choice to be bold and love yourself just like you are.
If you like it, wear it.
This month marks one year that I have been working with Perfectly Priscilla Boutique. I have continued to collaborate with them because they offer a wider variety of size inclusive clothes than many brands do. I love that I can recommend pieces to my straight sized and plus sized followers. To me, as a plus size woman, the thing I have always wanted was to be able to ask someone where they got their outfit and get it in my size. Don’t get me wrong, having plus size brands and boutiques is wonderful. There were a lot of years where I had a really hard time finding plus size pieces that were in style and on trend. But the ultimate goal for true inclusion will be brands that make the same clothes for all sizes and heights at the same price point.
Perfectly Priscilla is definitely one of the boutiques out there doing the work and I appreciate that!
