So long, sweet summer.
I can't say the rising temperatures have departed, but I will say my wonderful, beautiful, care-free summer is officially over. I started my MSW a few weeks ago, and although I'm loving it- I can't deny the bittersweet feelings I have over the end to such a magnificent few months.
If you follow me on Instagram, you know this is an outfit I lived in all summer. I rocked it at Bonnaroo, and every chance I got to be at the pool. It's a care-free look I was seeing everywhere at music festivals for the past few years, and was mustering up the courage to wear. This summer was definitely all about mid drifts and high waisted shorts. I had conquered the crop top, I had frolicked in short shorts- but I still worried about the way my stomach would look when paired together. Although I strive to be a rad fattie all the time- it's still hard to remind yourself you are worthy of wearing anything that makes you feel good in a world that tells you that you're not. Luckily all it took was some courage (which, for me, consisted of walking across a field of thousands of people in just this bathing suit and proclaiming I had "reached an optimum level of giving no fucks"), and finally finding (or someone just finally making) the right fit for me to fall in love. I also got a lot of confidence from seeing so many other stunning fat girls rock the look, too. Props to all you bold, inspiring fatties! I adore you all.
Oh! And I dyed my hair purple ombre!
