So this blog started as a side blog that somehow became more of a main blog than my actual main blog. So I'm gonna try and transition things back over to my actual main blog. I've changed this blog to a back up. If you want to keep following me and seeing my content, go follow @hopefor-days. That one is now my actual main
I'm probably gonna give it another week and then delete this side blog and use my main exclusively

Awesome 👏🏽
I need to start doing this because I sit in a chair so much of the day. Need to start doing this in the morning and like, go for a walk or something.
This weekend I was told a story which, although I’m kind of ashamed to admit it, because holy shit is it ever obvious, is kind of blowing my mind.
A friend of a friend won a free consultation with Clinton Kelly of What Not To Wear, and she was very excited, because she has a plus-size body, and wanted some tips on how to make the most of her wardrobe in a fashion culture which deliberately puts her body at a disadvantage.
Her first question for him was this: how do celebrities make a plain white t-shirt and a pair of weekend jeans look chic? She always assumed it was because so many celebrities have, by nature or by design, very slender frames, and because they can afford very expensive clothing. But when she watched What Not To Wear, she noticed that women of all sizes ended up in cute clothes that really fit their bodies and looked great. She had tried to apply some guidelines from the show into her own wardrobe, but with only mixed success. So - what gives?
His answer was that everything you will ever see on a celebrity’s body, including their outfits when they’re out and about and they just get caught by a paparazzo, has been tailored, and the same goes for everything on What Not To Wear. Jeans, blazers, dresses - everything right down to plain t-shirts and camisoles. He pointed out that historically, up until the last few generations, the vast majority of people either made their own clothing or had their clothing made by tailors and seamstresses. You had your clothing made to accommodate the measurements of your individual body, and then you moved the fuck on. Nothing on the show or in People magazine is off the rack and unaltered. He said that what they do is ignore the actual size numbers on the tags, find something that fits an individual’s widest place, and then have it completely altered to fit. That’s how celebrities have jeans that magically fit them all over, and the rest of us chumps can’t ever find a pair that doesn’t gape here or ride up or slouch down or have about four yards of extra fabric here and there.
I knew that having dresses and blazers altered was probably something they were doing, but to me, having alterations done generally means having my jeans hemmed and then simply living with the fact that I will always be adjusting my clothing while I’m wearing it because I have curves from here to ya-ya, some things don’t fit right, and the world is just unfair that way. I didn’t think that having everything tailored was something that people did.
It’s so obvious, I can’t believe I didn’t know this. But no one ever told me. I was told about bikini season and dieting and targeting your “problem areas” and avoiding horizontal stripes. No one told me that Jennifer Aniston is out there wearing a bigger size of Ralph Lauren t-shirt and having it altered to fit her.
I sat there after I was told this story, and I really thought about how hard I have worked not to care about the number or the letter on the tag of my clothes, how hard I have tried to just love my body the way it is, and where I’ve succeeded and failed. I thought about all the times I’ve stood in a fitting room and stared up at the lights and bit my lip so hard it bled, just to keep myself from crying about how nothing fits the way it’s supposed to. No one told me that it wasn’t supposed to. I guess I just didn’t know. I was too busy thinking that I was the one that didn’t fit.
I thought about that, and about all the other girls and women out there whose proportions are “wrong,” who can’t find a good pair of work trousers, who can’t fill a sweater, who feel excluded and freakish and sad and frustrated because they have to go up a size, when really the size doesn’t mean anything and it never, ever did, and this is just another bullshit thing thrown in your path to make you feel shitty about yourself.
I thought about all of that, and then I thought that in elementary school, there should be a class for girls where they sit you down and tell you this stuff before you waste years of your life feeling like someone put you together wrong.
So, I have to take that and sit with it for a while. But in the meantime, I thought perhaps I should post this, because maybe my friend, her friend, and I are the only clueless people who did not realise this, but maybe we’re not. Maybe some of you have tried to embrace the arbitrary size you are, but still couldn’t find a cute pair of jeans, and didn’t know why.
This post is one of those things that I will reblog every time it appears on my dash. This is so important, and no one ever tells you about it.
I almost didn’t read this but then I did and I’m really glad that I did.
Super important
I wish someone had told me this when I was a 4th grader crying in the dressing room because I had to wear “misses” aka adults clothing.
It is honestly amazing what a tailor can do for your clothes, and even more amazing what a custom garment can do for your shape.
There’s a clothing website called Eshakti that tailors everything for you for, like, an extra $9. I fit one of their standard sizes, so I just tell them my height and get perfectly fitting clothes that way. Every dress I’ve ever ordered from them is the best fitting thing I own (and all but the super-fancy strapless purple dress I bought for a wedding has pockets). They also make jeans, which I will some day take advantage of, because: tailoring.
Once upon a time I worked in this little burger/coffee/ice cream shop and a lady came in one winter and asked if we had a caramel apple drink and we were like ‘well we have cider’ and she was like ‘no I don’t remember what it’s called but this place made a drink that was chai tea, apple cider, and caramel’ and Breezy offered to try and make something for her but she changed her mind and left so Breezy and I were like ‘alright let’s try this’ because we had chai tea, instant cider mix, a shit ton of caramel, instant hot water from the espresso and too much free time.
And let me tell you it was delightful. It tastes like watching the leaves changing color and dancing in the wind. It tastes like picking out pumpkins and gourds and fresh apples at the farm up north. It tastes like witches and freedom.
I make it every year now and this year I walked in the house on the morning of October first with all the ingredients and shouted ‘FALL DRINK’ and my roommates were like ‘????’ so I made them Fall Drink and now every time they get home from work they’re like ‘Fall Drink pls?????’
Anyway I remember literally nothing else about that woman but I’m very grateful to her.
for anyone wondering about proportions/etc here’s op’s answer from the repiles:
Me when the musical based on a famous greek tragedy becomes tragic
All the new Tim Walz memes are cute, but I'll be honest I'm a little worried the internet is UWU-ing him a bit too much. I understand we're excited. It is good news. It's hopeful. He's been a good governor in my state and—while I don't know him personally—he seems like a good dude. But he's still human, and he still makes mistakes, and I'm afraid people are gonna think he's such a sweet fun guy and then feel let down or betrayed or angry if/when he does something they don't agree with, and they'll turn against him. Please I ask that you keep in mind that he's still a person. He's not perfect. The internet can be so all-or-nothing these days. Please allow grace and space for humanity.
For all those who still believe that “ Harris is a Cop” bullshit misinformation that started to spread in 2019/2020.
Time to unlearn what you think you know about Vice President Kamala Harris:
⬇️⬇️Links and graphics ⬇️⬇️
sorry for resorting to a meme about this but people are making me mad 👍
I'll gladly reblog posts reminding people to vote, but PSA: "this candidate sucks, but" is not a good, effective strategy. I will not be reblogging posts like those, and you guys should stop making them. It's not just because, with Kamala Harris in particular, 1. a lot of reasons "progressives" online dislike her is misinformation, 2. most legitimate reasons people have for not liking Biden don't apply or apply significantly less to her and y'all are just failing to look shit up. But it also just does not do anyone any favors to kneecap people's enthusiasm right from the get-go. People shouldn't have to be enthusiastic about the Democratic candidate to be motivated to stop a fascist, with a platform (Project 2025) that promises to fundamentally alter basically every aspect of American life for the worse. But the fact of the matter is that some people do care about that. You aren't helping by dampening those people's enthusiasm! Just say "you need to vote for Kamala Harris because xyz." The "I hate her but" or "even if you hate her" is just selfish bullshit, that centers your feelings, your need to perform this (faux) progressivism for your dash over any political end you're supposedly working for with that post. It makes it clear that the effects are not actually that important to you relative to your own image. It sucks. Stop it.
my opinion on whether kamala has a real chance of winning will be determined on her vp pick
however, if ALL YALL FUCKERS WHO SAY "SHE CAN'T WIN I WON'T VOTE" WOULD ACTUALLY RALLY TOGETHER AND VOTE FOR HER, SHE CAN WIN.
literally fucking vote. rally and vote. don't give up.
don’t think y’all understand how absolutely mind blowing it is to watch an explicit and gorgeously filmed sex scene with a plus size woman as the love interest. i grew up in the 90’s and early 2000’s where thin was in. and not just thin but flat. ribs showing. no fat. “if you can pinch an inch.” i was told “if it jiggles, cover it up.” most of my body jiggles. so i covered it up.
to see someone who has a very similar body type to mine be depicted nearly completely naked on screen, beautiful costumes and light streaming in the window, absolutely zero comedic references to her body, shown having explicit sex with a thin and attractive man who is incredibly attracted to her, it just. i’ve spent my life being told that because i’m fat i’ll have to settle for less, settle for mistreatment, that i’ll never really be attractive, because thinness is required to be attractive. so to see not only this beautiful sex scene but also the many positive responses to it. i have no words.
Tonight, we remember one who lent his enormous talent to telling the story we have all come to love. Hail, the victorious dead!
May the Simbelmynë cover his tomb as it did the tomb of the one he so accurately portrayed.

Oh man I can't believe I forgot. You know that post that was like "tell me what clothes you've bought because of a character" or whatever. I searched for ages to find an adequate white cable knit sweater because of Ransom's in knives out.
It's a good sweater
I'm putting this here bc I feel like it's information everyone needs. You can find it here.
