Something has been bothering me for quite some time. And, I've wanted to blog about it for a while, but I haven't been able to find the right words. I'm hoping I've found them now, but if not, oh, well. It needs to be said.
People should wear clothing that actually fits. That number on the tag at the back of your shirt? Yeah, it doesn't really matter. If you are a size 6, but you want to be thinner so you wear a size 2, it's not going to work out. You're going to look bigger/worse than if you'd just worn the size 6. If you wear clothing in sizes too small for you, every ounce of fat is going to pour out over the edges. And that is not a good thing.
You're going to look your best in what actually fits you. Even someone who is teeny-tiny is going to look chubby if they wear clothes that are too small. The clothes are going to squish you until they find whatever fat you are hiding and then expose it to the world. And it's not going to be pretty.
People should wear clothes that are going to flatter their bodies, not make them look fatter. I'm a small girl, but that doesn't mean I can get away with wearing skin tight shirts over skin tight pants. Those pants are going to squish my stomach up and it's going to look like I have belly rolls and that skin tight shirt is just going to make that normally non-existent belly roll even more noticeable. Does that sound attractive to you? I didn't think so.
So, I stick to wearing clothes that actually fit me. I know that number doesn't actually matter; because that's all it is: a number. I mean, what's the number really mean? If someone weighs 140 pounds, don't they still weigh 140 pounds whether they wear a size 8 or a size 6? YES! THEY DO! So, what difference does it make? Especially when the smaller size is going to make you look worse? It makes absolutely no sense to me.
I will wear the clothes that I am comfortable in and the clothes that make me look as good as I know I should. And I will ignore whatever number is on that little tag.
I may not have found the best words for this, but I really just wanted it out there. So, there it is! :)
