So last month I ordered three articles from
Sheinside. I was drawn to the site because it said they provided free shipping and all that. I had money and so I decided to buy stuff but then I had some trouble with my payment because my internet went off at the exact moment I made the buy and I started to feel insecure. I checked online to see reviews and I got very good reviews and very bad, and I started to get very nervous but yesterday I tracked the package and apparently is already here in México, so I just have to wait probably a week for it to get home. I'm very excited because I really liked those clothes, I ordered these:
A black embroided cat round neck loose sweater Blue high waist flanging heart print denim shorts White Short Sleeve Rainbow Horse Print T-shirt and
Black batwing long sleeve eyes print sweatshirt which I ordered today.
I don't know, I'm excited because it's the first time in a long time that I get to buy clothes. For about two years I've been getting new clothes as gifts from my mom and family and it's mostly plaid shirts, denim pants, flower dresses with cold shoulder cut on the top (kind of), pretty much the same clothes, different prints and patterns. I want to spice up my closet, get new clothes and build my own style. I'm not in the best situation in regards to my self esteem and that's why I want to do this because I want to feel better about myself and feel confident. I need to be confident because of the career path I'm choosing and also because it's been a permanent struggle, pretty much since I started to build memories. There isn't a time that I can remember in which I had great self esteem, not even when I was a kid because I constantly felt like being chubby was a bad thing, and if it wasn't my body, it was my curly hair, and then my teeth, and then my feet... my arms. There has always been something that makes me feel ugly and I want to change that. I know it is very superficial, I understand why it may seem that way, and maybe it is that way, but I've tried everything and it never occured to me that maybe it's as simple as actually wearing clothes that make me feel comfortable! Not that it will instantly change but it is a start.
Other thing that I've been doing lately is checking fashion blogs. For some time it didn't make me feel better because most of these bloggers are skinny and I don't shame them for being that way but seeing a skinny girl everywhere kind of makes you wonder if you have to be that skinny in order to be beautiful? I want to loose weight, I'm not going to deny it but I also want to feel pretty the way I am right now. So I searched for plus size bloggers and I found a different world. It is a breath of fresh air to see all of these beautiful women working their outfits. Many of them still struggle and probably will always struggle but I guess their lives changed in a very positive way when they found their style and who they are.
I've been reading Georgina Doull's blog
Cupcake Clothes, and her style is not only cute but very balanced and playful. She's so beautiful! I love everything about her outfits, from her bubblegum pink hair to the stockings she wears. While it is not the style I would have for myself, there are many little things that I would definitely try! Plus, something that also draws me from her posts are her beautiful photos! It is always nice to read a blog that shares beautiful photos! I don't know, she looks like she has a lot of fun with her style and I definitely admire her sense of fashion, it's just so cute I want to explode!
Hopefully I get my packages soon because I can't wait to wear them, although I'm super worried that they might not fit because the store only manages one size. The sweater and the t-shirt I believe they are oversized but the shorts, well, I'm not so sure. I'm a size 6 and I fear that might be "too big" but I don't know, let's see what happens.
Do you have a preference for clothes?
