Dress for How You Feel | A Summer Try-On & the Body Confidence Chat I've Been Putting Off

Household

16 Jun

I got a message this week from someone telling me to grow my hair, dye it blonde, show more of my figure off, and dress my age. I've been sitting with it for a few days. And I thought we should talk.

Because this week's video is a summer try-on, twelve different looks, lots of different brands, practical advice on what to wear where but before we get into any of that, I wanted to have the honest conversation I've been putting off for a while. About what it feels like to be 10 pounds heavier than you were your entire adult life. About stopping smoking and what came after. About the bits of your body you hide, the clothes you hang on to for years because you're certain you'll get back into them, and the moment you finally decide to let them go.

Once we get into the try-on, it's a really good one, a Kaho maxi dress, Uniqlo linen separates, Kate Barton trousers, With Nothing Underneath, a Guinea London skirt that's a firm favourite, a Boden white linen dress, a beautiful Rae Feather shirt dress I bought on a whim, the Ridley London silk dress I'm saving for the polo, and a wildcard from M&S Per Una that I love and slightly feel like I'm wearing my nighty in, but I love it! Something for every summer occasion and every type of day.

I hope you find this helpful and me being honest about the parts of my body I don’t love!

With Love
