Being comfortable in your own skin to me means to be and to do whatever that feels good to you, in your heart and in your mind.
For instants, when society, family or friends would tell you NOT to wear certain clothes because they are not "age-appropriate" for you and therefore you won't wear them even when those rules won't make YOU happy would be a clear example of not being comfortable with yourself but actually denying your true light to shine all because you want to please the rest.
I'm not talking about "appropriate for an occasion or situation" Like, dressing accordingly to the weather you live in (Beach = Swimsuits, Snowboarding = Jackets) I'm talking about little things here and there that because of a women's age or body type society supposed you SHOULD not wear, they won't look bad on you but yet, people would judge and tell you is not appropriate for YOU.All that thinking got me just now as I was uploading this new look...Yes, I am 36, yes, I am a mom and a wife, but most importantly than any labels life gives me I am just a girl who loves fashion and sometimes falls in love with a little tight romper and wants to wear it and thinks it looks great!
Now, some people want to convince me that I am "too old for it", or too "mom for it" or too this or that.., I said: F*u you "some people"! I will wear whatever I think looks good and appropriate FOR ME and I will follow my own rules.
At some point in your adult life, you need to know who you are and have that very clear for you.
It's very important to know what goes and what doesn't go with you, your personality and lifestyle!
To me, a romper from Forever 21 doesn't make me any younger or any prettier, I make the romper look good, and that's what matters,
I don't think society should retire us from trends or styles depending on our age, I think that decision should be a personal choice by each one of us and if wearing shorts at 40-50-60 feels good to you: Go for it! If showing a sexy cleavage feels good to you even after your brests have come thru breastfeedings and life gravity but makes you feel sexy and empowered: Go F* for it!
Wear that bikini if you can handle and overcome the fact that your stretch marks will show, Go for it!
There is nothing more beautiful than being proud of yourself and feel comfortable in your own skin.
So, with that little thought, I want to leave you on this sunny summer Saturday: Be you, do you!
Find truly who you are, how your soul feels and how you vibe and express it in your clothing too!
The world needs to see you, needs to find how your heart it's reflected in the outside and don't let anybody dictate what your essence should look like!
