Confidence and happiness shine like a lovely light. She looks great.

I don't get it?  She looks fine to me.  The dress looks good on her.  I guess I just see the point of the article.  It might have made some sense if she was wearing a micro mini and pasties or thong panties and crop top.  She just looks like anyone of million women walking down the street.

What difference does it make what this woman chooses to wear? She'll still have a belly so if she throws a tent over her shoulders or puts on something fitted the ones uncomfortable with it are you! Perhaps her choices aren't about you!

 

I say good for her doing what feels right FOR HER!


She can FEEL as right as she wants to but isn't going to make her LOOK any better

which clearly isn't her goal

forgetting the dress the shoes  dont exactly work ether but if they feel good then she's got herself a succesful outifit I guess

 

And to be honest if she really thought she looked that bad she wouldn't be putting out there like that IMO

So I'm thinking this is more tham "freedom" thing

I do not care what size you are or what you wear.

Clothes should fit properly and reflect you as a person.

Fit and Style and two different things.

 

I rather see a well dressed stylish,  size 20+ lady

than a size 2 squeezed into leggings that look like sausage casing.

Yes it feels good to her and her whole blog post explains her priorities in her life right now. It's not her job or duty to answer to other women, to men, or to her husband as far as how she looks. Only to herself. And she's giving herself a break from being so self critical.

 

Women face enough scrutiny. Live your own life and don't judge others by your standards, and don't pick other women apart. Those are my standards. Life is truly tough enough.

Re: "A Dress I Have No Business Wearing"

Common sense went out the window once the "I am woman, hear me roar" popularity came about.  I personally live by the rule "if it's not attractive, cover it up."  The public shouldn't have to see stuff that I don't even like to see, so I always dress in a way that does not highlight flaws.  The girl I work with who is about 450 lbs and who wears the cold shoulder tops with blobs of cellulite hanging out is just completely unprofessional.

Thats all well and good -but why intentionally wear something you say you have no buisness wearing? what about that is confidence?

She either really does think she looks good and wants "you go girl" comments

or she really doesn't  care what she looks like which as "freeing" as it may be is really just as bad

If you think this is foolish, you haven't seen the "People of Walmart" website.

Re: "A Dress I Have No Business Wearing"

I guess I'm curious as to why she likes and wants to wear that dress.  It doesn't look good on her.  I find it hard to believe she thinks it does.  So, back to the question, why would she want to wear it?

 

All that being said, we are all free to look as bad as we want.

Clearly you view people through a superficial lens as if garments are a barometer to someone's soul.
