I'm a HUGE fan of looking good. Who isn't? Even those who deny the fact that they want to look good have a sense of wanting to. Nobody wants to feel like shit (and I certainly never do). Whether you want to mentally feel good, physically, or materialistically, everyone at some point wants to look and feel good about themselves. For me, it's everything. Everything needs to look and feel good on me and I'm not just talking about fashion. I exercise and eat healthy. I'm not a stick, and I don't have the intention to be. I buy clothes that fit me and I make sure that it also complements every part of who I am. I put on make-up and I only put on enough to make my look polished and complete. I take a shower, I paint my nails, I do all the works and I do it all for me. And of course, I want people to start looking! I mean, it's even better when people start noticing all that hard work you put into making yourself look that good (even though it may or may not be very hard at all.) But I know that if i put a little effort into making myself feel good, I'll look good. However, it's not the same deal for everyone.
Especially in this day and age when fashion is modeled for people between the sizes 0 and 2, it's hard for everyone to look and feel good at the same time. I must admit that watching the media emphasize the importance of "staying thin" makes me want to shed a couple of pounds! Society just fucking loves skinny ass people! And what can i say? I'm not thin, hell I'm not even skinny. But the different between me and other people is that I love my body even if the tv tells me not to. I think I look good, and I think if I tried to lose a lot of weight, I'd look scary as hell. But some people, like that (freaks.) Some people will do everything they can to look like the thinnest celebrities in the media.
Clothes for example, i fucking love my clothes. I love the way they fall on me, and I love the way they make me look hella good. But when fashion turns to the media for their new line, they start making everything smaller and smaller. People watch as celebrities walk onto the red carpet in stunning gowns, people buy fashion magazines to read about the latest trends, and people go out and start shopping for things that AREN'T MADE FOR THEM. Sure, some people could pull it off but when you have boobs and an ass, things start to look a little funky (if you can even get it on.) You could be thin, and be curvy at the same time and there will still be clothes out there that don't fit you! Not even in the sense of size, but look as well. You'll see celebrities on tv wear a pillow case for the dress and you think, "wow that looks fuckin nice on her," you go out and try it on and be like "wtf?" You'd think a pillow case of any kind of fit would fit anyone! But it doesnt.
It gets worse when people start denying it too. I know some friends of mine who clearly aren't a size 4(and that's small) and yet they insist that they are. They will buy only things in a size 4, and their every hump and junk will start falling all over the place. You go and politely tell them their their fucking boobs are falling out and they start a bitch fit. It's not about being a smaller size. If it looks bad on you, then it'll look fucking bad on you. Now why would you want to look bad? Just because some people can look good in it, doesn't mean that you can. But there's other things in the store that you could check out other than the most expensive pillow dress you can find.
Even shoes! Fucking shoes! I go out yesterday to find a pair of nice sandals. You know, the ones that you could wear for a special occasion or for casual. I go to urban outfitters, and although i love urban outfitters and it's style, some of their clothes are made for a lot of thin people. Anyway, i go to the shoe section and i try everything on. Is it just me? or are ALL THESE SHOES made for skinny feet!? I mean I don't think my feet are like especially bigger than like any other person with a size 7 1/2. I know I do have wide feet but goddamn, all the shoes i tried on were like made for long and skinny feet? I MEAN COME ON, you make fucking dresses impossible to find(ala prom) and now you're making it fucking difficult to find sandals? Anyway, in the end, I found a pair. See, it just takes a little patience and it doesn't mean I need to start eating less to lose the fat off my feet, it just means I need to find a different pair that's right for me. A lot of people just jam their shit in there and I guess the part in their brain that processes what looks good what doesn't is not there. It might have exploded or something after watching too much shit on tv.
Anyway, looking good doesn't mean to go out and buy what the rich and skinny people are wearing. Looking good and feeling good means doing what works for you(oh my fucking god i sound like a weight watchers commercial.) But it's true. If it fits, and it's complementing then you'll feel better. And who cares about size? No one is going to fucking grab your shirt and flip out the tag on the back to see what size you are. As long as you're healthy, and looking it then I say, fuck what they say. You look fucking good.
