My favourite item in my wardrobe at the moment is my
embroidered denim jacket. Partly because I feel a sense of pride that I MADE THIS THING. After I made it and after I got these strap-y shoes at a half price sale I had this vision of an outfit in my head. So I went out and brought some cheap jeans (I never wear jeans) and threw it all together the next morning for the
trip to hamilton with
Tara and Ellen. It kinda worked out ok. Its easy for me to look at these photos and see my flaws and insecurities. My hair all fluffy *cough* natural. my legs not how they are in my mind. my funny and awkward faces because i'm not the best at posing sometimes. But despite all that I think its important to love your body how it is. I've always had a really disordered view toward my body. At one point I couldn't even look myself in the mirror. I mean to see me wearing jeans in the first place is a very rare occasion. The fact that I wore a bikini this summer was shocking for me. But more recently and perhaps the reason that I wear jeans more often and wore a two piece swimsuit in summer is that
i'm starting to respect my body more. i'm one gym session away from completing a 12 week exercise programming involving gym three times a week! And I couldn't be more proud. And the really cool thing is that earlier this week I looked in the mirror and saw progress in terms of my body for the first time! All this gym is actually doing something. My whole point is I guess that you should love the skin you are in. But it is ok if you don't. Because one day (after some serious work - mental and maybe physical) you will. ANYWAY! I've waffled on a lot more than I usually do in outfit posts. So here are some photos.
Current Mood: Actually at work and writing this, Got a scratchy throat. But otherwise feeling ok today.
