[ayyponine]

oh my god work training today was interesting..

divided into 3 bits the visual merchandising/how to present clothes on hanger/shelf was p cool, group brainstorm on more of the social aspect was great, but ooooof fashion advice on different body types rip! I felt great about my outfit fr the day UNTIL that whole section turned into an excersice to be practised on each other - first in pairs to try & figure out what either person is, then the whole GROUP looking you up & down to properly assess while the stylist feels u up, pulling loose clothes tighter or drawing a line from shoulders to hips to illustrate her point, then finally picking a sample outfit to rebalance whatever the hell is wrong w your body. like it’s all fun and games at the first informative explanation w illustrations of diff women like hii im looking respectfully at these beaautiful Shapes UNTIL suddenly youre the only upside down triangle APPARENTLY in a group of like 80% hourglasses or guitars heLLO? It’s all fun and games until “she has a waist so thats an hourglass right :) well mb not lets look again” turns into “nooo you cant wear that item bc it only emphasises how wide yr shoulders are :/ UNLESS we cover it up and add maybe a blazer or smth (no shoulderpads obv)”

like consider the following...... i m gay

like i thought wide shoulders was perhaps the single hottest shape for a lady to have until the very second you told me i am clearly this unappealing, unfeminine lookin triangle and started offering solutions

cue me now feeling increasingly insecure abt every observation on my shape (derogatory) which was just matter of factly stated to a group of attentive onlookers (some of them steady colleagues) while determining what the fuck i am and the verdict being obviously! different and wrong.

at least im not one of those poor souls who were pear shaped. to stand in the center of the group and the stylist going like “what do we think, hourglass???? nooooo thats right, she’s got really narrow shoulders huh that really needs to be balanced out”. consider the following.. there’s something romantic and or Romantic abt the pear silhouette and i love them. Even those present with just a str8 up box figure being told like hhh work w this garment to create the illusion of a waist i say WHY. every person w the perfect hourglass figure the rest of us chumps could merely try to emulate with deliberate visual trickery iwas ready to start biting

at least they offered free breakfast AND lunch so i scored me some koffiekoeken and some delightfully scrumptious lil sandwiches w brie, walnut & honey.... pray it goes straight to my THIGHS so it will balance me out and not to my STOMACH lest i turn into an apple figure aka the shape tragically described as “just stick legs and no ass no you can laugh but when you see em you will KNOW”
