shwryr: Fashion Faux Pas

I think everyone has something in fashion that makes them want to cringe. Mine isn't exactly a thing in itself just the way some people choose to wear their clothes. Because the weather is starting to warm up here this fashion offense happens more often, I think some of you know where I am going with this...

Ill fitted clothes, I cannot stand it. Everything from not wearing the correct bra size to not accepting the fact that you don't fit into those size 0 pants anymore. I wish there was a hotline you could call for people who abuse their body parts by squishing and pressing them into small heated places. Seriously when your clothes don't fit you look like a busted can of biscuits.

Most people gain and lose weight throughout their lives it's just a fact. So if you're going through a gaining cycle just let it be, take the loss and buy a bigger size. Quit trying to squeeze your body into that itty bitty top darlin' you look like Winnie the Pooh. Some people are in so much denial that it is almost painful to look at their body parts hanging out of their clothes. I went to school once with a girl who just out right refused to go up a size every time her body changed dramatically by the end of the year she was basically trying to put 5 lbs of sand in coin purse, her cup runneth way over. It has to hurt your spleen sitting down with pants on that small.

But you know I am a woman of constructive criticism so here are some indicators that it may be time to get a bigger size:

1. Of course is the obvious, if you have muffin top, camel toe, moose knuckle or any other funny word for balled up body parts in tight clothes, it is time to go up a size.

2. Pulling, pulling tends to happen when something is slightly ill fitting on the body. It generally happens on the widest parts of your body, on the chest or back, and the hips and behind. You know when your outfit is pulling by the diagonal folds the fabric produces. In other words it looks as though the fabric of your clothes or buttons are holding on for dear life not to tear open.

This offense happens to everyone at one point in time in their lives, whether you're skinny or heavier my advise is to not hold so tight to your size number and wear what fits you and buy some dang spanx!
