[OOTD] Cropped Talks

Denim jacket: Dorothy Perkins  Crop top: h&m Pants: Zara  Furry earrings: Louvisa  Pointed flats: Pazzion Bag: Tocco Tenerro  As a larger girl, I tend put myself in a box when it comes to clothing. I have this unrealistically long list of clothes to avoid versus another that ideally fits what a fat girl should wear. Growing up, I was shamed because my size was always on the larger side of the scale. Over the years of being conditioned by society and people around me that I should cover up - crop tops, tanks tops, bikinis, tulle skirts essentially became part of this avoid list.

Step one would be to categorize your stuff into staples vs variables. Staples are your essentially everyday must-haves. To know what your staples are, ask yourself this, which part of your make-up you need to fix by mid-day? Can your lip color get through meals without retouches?
