Today is the 10th anniversary of the US/Canada release of Mean Girls. It’s one of my favourite movies because I think it really nails what high school is like for so many people – I know there were a lot of parts in the movie that really struck a chord with me! Seeing as it’s the anniversary and it’s a Wednesday, naturally I had to wear pink.
I had to do a spot of research for “Hipster” week, and I guess I loosely fit this definition already: I wear black rimmed glasses, I prefer to listen to my music on vinyl, my hair is undeniably casual, I use a Polaroid and other old film cameras, I have an arts degree and am a prolific user of Instagram…
Some days a girl just wants to rock the black on black on black lace…
I’m all for the layering of blacks in an outfit (maybe that’s my secret Goth side coming out?), but I think it’s important to bring in different textures and accessories so that you don’t just disappear in a shadow of darkness…
When I started my Fat Girls Shouldn’t Wear Stripes project, bodycon was very high on the list of what fat girls supposedly should not wear. I know, even as I post this, that there will be more than one ignorant twit out there thinking (or saying) something along the lines of “oh hell no, fat girls should not be wearing form fitting clothing”. Well guess what? When I get up in the morning, I don’t dress for you. I dress for myself, in clothes that make me feel great!
Oh my gosh, it’s a fat girl wearing a bodycon dress without shapewear. We’re all going to die…
I just spent an amazing weekend in Wellington (which is the capital city of New Zealand, for all of my overseas readers who don’t know much about the country I live in), where I got to celebrate plus size fashion, meet some great new people, catch up with old friends, eat delicious food, attend Wellington Fashion Week and photograph some gorgeous women for my Fat Girls Shouldn’t Wear Stripes project. More about that later though – first I wanted to share this outfit with you because I am so in love with this skirt! View Post
