Fashion fare pt 2.

I'm not gonna lie. It was not easy going through all these clothes that didn't fit or were just too old and rugged. There was a constant battle to just stop right there and give up. But as I know from experience, the first step is usually the hardest. 

On this day in my Fashion Fare book, the stylist encourages you to simply your choices down to 3 articles of clothing. As in summer, a bunch of layers is not required. 



 This is my simple/staying local outfit. Denim jeans and my red inspired Gap shirt. 






The top is like flailing everywhere so instead it makes me look even wider. I think if I cuffed the shorts they would look sleeker. And the shoes? Well they are my only casual pair of heels at the moment. But I'd probably use open toe sandal heels instead. 


These brown shorts with this top is appalling! My legs look like chicken legs compared to my top. This is such a typical outfit that I would wear too! But I see it cuts me in half. It's hard to look at my shape in this picture. I am def fighting the "I need to lose all my weight before I start thinking of clothes" thoughts. But this fashion journey is about improving my clothes, and not just working with what I got but being proud of who I am and how I look, and then presenting that in the best way. Yes, needed that affirmation. Onto the next. 


This one wasn't so bad. I really like me in pants lol. I look taller and my shape is more complemented you can see the curves. Pants are nicer to me. 



This outfit is from my spa manager days. I used to rock this all the time. It's probably the best combination as far as complementing my body and that's sad cause its just so boring. I think I look shorter in this one compared to the peach colored pants, I wonder if its because the peach is more fitted at the ankle. 




So yeah, these are my summer clothes so far! While this was a difficult challenge to go through, it was necessary for me to dig deep, purge unwanted things and look at what I'm really working with. 

This collection of clothing and pictures to me is boring and flat. And I promise I'm not being too hard on myself. I am just such a vibrant person and these clothes are so sad.
