I’ve been avoiding buying new jeans mainly because of money and my body ever changing postpartum. I also have no idea what my size actually is because women’s clothing sizes are insane and make no sense and it seemed like too much work. It dawned on me though that I will not in fact be fitting back into my pre-pregnancy jeans before autumn hits like I was able to first time around (I’m not rushing the process either, btw). So, I went to Depop and bought two pairs of different sizes and hoped for the best.
I just received one pair and the gods have blessed me. I feel like an actual woman instead of a nugget and the best part is I don’t have to hem them!!! Never in my life would I have sought out a pair of high-rise flare Hollister jeans but it turns out they are exactly what I needed 🙏
Spending the money to find clothes that actually fit you and make you feel good is worth it every time, a lesson I’ll learn over and over and over and over….

I made an error in purchasing my perfect pair of jeans. My friend who used to work at Levi’s recommends buying a size too small and I was cursed constantly with too baggy jeans because of not doing this. But I sized down too much with a very sturdy denim and they were just so uncomfortable. I persevered for a while, hoping they’d stretch more and refusing to take the loss. But last week I just fucking bought the size up and now I can wear them and love them and not feel sad and annoyed at myself every time! The moral of this story is to buy clothes that fit you, and to not continue to wear something that makes your crotch feel like it’s about to split in half. Take the loss, it will feel better.

spent like six months not wearing a pair of jeans that I had bought and loved because they fit me perfectly but were literally twelve inches too long - this week I finally got them altered so that I don't have to safety pin them or god forbid 2017 pinterest roll them up, and I feel SO HAPPY about it. like, amazing. like, brand new pair of jeans vibe. cannot recommend this enough.

I just replaced my jeans for the first time in years, bought straight legged ones and the waist is slightly too big. Not so big they're unwearbable but just loose enough. But I'm loving it because for the first time I don't feel suffocated. Plus, I can't wait to eat rich food and not feel uncomfortable.

Humans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE 🌊
