Some of my favorite outfits are very unique clothes that I've stumbled across over the years second hand. They aren't being made anymore, so they're hard to find again (cheaply.) Meanwhile I probably paid no more than 8 dollars for any of it...that's just the pro of shopping at thrift stores and being the same size for years. I had plenty of time to amass these things.

Obviously, it's really hard to have gotten bigger after having my baby for a number of reasons. I'm trying to appreciate my new body and feel confident, working through those things. But the aspect of probably never being able to fit in clothes that I'd considered my "uniform" to the level of "if I was a cartoon character they'd animate me rotating these clothes" is heartbreaking.

#obvious answer #buy new clothes that make me feel that way #but thrift stores are awash with terrible fast fashion #and tbh there's fewer cute things available in my new size #and I honestly can't afford to recreate my entire wardrobe #I still have some things that fit both sizes I've been #but the really structured and flattering dresses I loved? may never fit again #and I've kept the most important ones cause they're honestly worth hanging onto either for sentimental reasons or cause I COULD maybe fit #or pass them to someone else someday #but I think my actual bone structure has changed so even as I attempt to lose some of the extra weight I gained during pregnancy #I think my body is just?? wider? which is whatever on my hips #like thank God actually cause I hated having narrow hips #I feel more feminine now #but my ribs? fml #tw weight loss #personal
