WhatIWore: Lately I’ve been feeling a more casual, bohemian kind of vibe. Not so much like the festival going music lover as much as the mature woman who shops at farmer’s markets and likes gardening. Where the hell do I get this stuff? Anyways, I often think about who I want to be and how to dress the part like life was a play and I’m wearing costumes. Maybe anything to avoid being myself. I don’t know? 

Wait wait… stay with me! So it’s no secret that I’ve been feeling uncomfortable with my body lately. I’m so heavy chested that I feel I can’t wear the styles I’m drawn to. Until last weekend when I just threw my figurative hands in the air and said EFF IT! (the actual curse words) and put on what I wanted to wear, regardless of whether it was “flattering” or not. 

I really really hate the use of the word flattering. Or more specifically not flattering. It’s become a socially acceptable way of saying “you don’t look as good as you could” or “you don’t look good” or what I really think it’s code for is “You don’t look thin” and I hate it. 

When I put this on and looked in the mirror, flattering (read: thin) was not what I got. But I decided to wear it anyway and then Adam took these photos and ya know, it’s not as unflattering as I thought either. It’s fine! 

So I’m just gonna get over myself and my huge boobs and for the love of all things good (and my self esteem), it’s about effing time that I stop myself from not wearing things that some random internet stranger is going to not only think are not flattering” let alone say it outloud. #runonsentence #endrant #somanyitalics

Phew. I just needed to get that out. Onwards!

WhatIWore: Many years ago, someone commented on this blog that I looked like a soccer mom, meant to be an insult. At the time, I was in my mid twenties and was like shrug, if I look this good by the time I have kids that are old enough to play soccer, I guess that’s a win? It’s weird, but I am so much more self confident now than I ever was in my twenties. I feel hot! And my body is not nearly in the same kind of shape it was when I was 25. Does wisdom come with age? I dunno! 

Anyway, one thing I’ve really embraced as I’ve gotten older..

Are mom jeans. Bring ‘em up high, ladies and if you wanna throw in a smidge of stretch, I’ll love you forever. Bonus points for no muffin top or shimmy to get low riders back up where they belong. I’m not throwing out any lower rise pieces, but I definitely gravitate towards the higher rise pieces in my closet.

When: June 28, 2015

What:
Hat: Handmade by Me!
Shades: Karen Walker ‘Super Duper’ in Black
Tee: GAP (ten years old, similar everywhere)
Jeans: J.Brand (very similar)
Sandals: Rockport (gift)

See Also: Another way I’ve worn this hat and these jeans recently. 

This is what I wore on Sunday morning. Adam was driving back to town, so I took Felix out for a waffle (errr… I had a waffle and Felix watched me eat it) and then once Adam was back we went to lunch as a family. Afterwards, we hit up a vintage sidewalk sale and snapped these pics on our way back to the car. 

Last photo, Felix was like… gimme dat boobie.
