Yes, we´ve heard it on Oprah a gazillion times and yet so many strive to fit the same mold as runway models.
Although we know that to look that way you need those genes(which can change in aseason) and/or starve yourself.
I have theory.
Size matters when you dress because everyone looks better when they´re wearing their size.
Their actual size.
I´ve been criticized my whole life for being skinny. Some roll their eyes and hint that since I look this or that way I should just be quiet.
I disagree. Finding my size of clothes growing up was hard. Then puberty hit and I got a chest.
Size skinny with chest didn´t exist so I wore what my friends wore and I still got comments for being too skinny.
In short- I never felt pretty because people commented on my weight and finding clothes that looked nice and fashionable was difficult.
I recently gained weight for the first time in my life. Usually my high metabolism has kept me at a size 2 and at couple of times a 0.
Let me tell you that a size 0 hurts. It literally hurts to sit, to stand(no muscles) and you freeze constantly.
Not to fabulous.
But anyway, I gained weight. Alot and quick. Due to a medicinal mistake I gained 10 kg in 3 weeks.
I felt like someone put diving weights on me and suddenly none of my clothes fit me.
The good part is that I noticed the change before it went to far. Too far meaning getting problems with my heart which evidently can happen.
But as far as size I was just happy too get a booty! So when my friends cleaned out their closets I adjusted to my new size and what I found was that you look better- no matter what size you are- as long as you dress your size and(same if your a size 2) make the most of your best features and draw attention to them.
We all have flaws no matter what size we are.
The trick is knowing your "glamour zones" and having them work for you.
Marilyn Monroe, the world most gorgeous woman of all time to me, knew how to work her angles and tried covering up to be taken seriously.
