Hello all you beautiful ladies out there!
This is my introductory blog, a blog, where I am about to pour my heart out…
Like most of us, I’ve grown up cursing my flabs, looking for my non-existent thigh gap and hissing at my reflection every time I saw it in the mirror. Initially it was nothing but an obsession with the ‘ideal’ body image which eventually turned to self-loathe and a persistent feeling of being a misfit because of my XXL size. Until one day I decided I’m not going to sacrifice my self-worth for what a bunch of photo shopped models on the cover of glossy magazines or Regina-George wannabees tell me.
Thus began my journey of empowering plus size women. It’s high time we accept that our obsession with smaller sizes is as insignificant as the closed eye selfie that we always delete.
Just take a moment and give it a thought…
Why should we give the power to anyone but ourselves to decide what clothes we should wear? Hourglass, pear-shaped or full-figured…it doesn’t matter! Fashion is for everyone. Fashion is so much more dynamic than a number on a scale.
You need to be proud of who you are and not diss yourself for how others see you. This movement is not just about plus size fashion, it is also about body-positivity and learning to Love those sexy curves.
You don’t need to be skinny to wear that black skater dress that you have been eyeing for so long. Just get the damn dress and wear it like it was meant for you. There’s no reason for you or to be ashamed in your skin. You are born into one skin. You can scar it, stretch it, tan it, peel it. You must feel proud in your plus size apparel in India. But you will always be in it, so you might as well learn to love it.
Ladies, next time someone tells you are too pretty for a big girl, just tell the person big or not, you’re pretty and that’s where the compliment should end.
For more updates, stay tuned to my page and in return I promise to make you fall in love with the wonderful Woman you see in the mirror every day.
Xoxo
