Sizing doesn' t matter

Does size matter? Question nearly as old as time, right. And I am not talking about what you may think. I am talking about female clothes sizing. Anyone who ever shopped in female section of the store knows what kind of a struggle it is to find the right fit. Every brand seems to have different meassurements for their sizing, it varies depending on a country you shop in etc. I have always been a bigger girl. Since my teens I struggled to find clothes that fit right and being a plussize, midsize or curvy has made this even more difficult. That takes a toll on once mental health, especially as a maturing and impretionable teenager. And takes years to not let it define you. 

There are thousands or milions of videos, articles, books and movies about this topic. I don`t think there is any new information I can provide, other then my own experience and opinion. This is my blog where I share exactly that, after all. 

I decided to put these words down after I put on my shirt on this morning and looked in the mirror. It is a simple graphic tee I bought receantly. I was thinking to myself how nice the fit is. Perfect loose vibe, drops right around my sides to show of my hip and bum curves and is a size XL. Then I thought about a new shirt I wore yesterday. I tight fitting blue shirt in cobalt blue color with a V neckline and label saying size L. I really like how it hugs my curves and shows off cleavage. It is perfect for days when I want a tight top and looser bottom. Another thing I purhased receantly is a men`s shirt in 6XL that I bought many times before. This time in a black color. I like this one as it is long enough to be a comfy shirt dress or can be tucked into pants, jeans and shorts to create whatever look I want. See where I am going with this thought process of mine? I stopped looking at sizes while shopping and focus on the way the clothes fit. It is very similar with the bottoms. I tried on a skirt size EU44 and I tried on a different one in size EU48. They were different styles and I liked the fit of them on my body in those sizes. I wanted one to show off my bum more and the other one I like in bigger size as it was longer and I liked that. 

I think I stopped worrying about the sizing in my mid 20s. At a time I accepted my body for what it is. Learned to really love my curves and dress as I want. Buying men` s shirts for nice oversized look also  made me realize just how much I don't care about what the label says. Shopping at certain shops like ZARA where their label literally says that their size L actually fits smaller then it should makes you feel different too. I mean when is the last time anyone asked you what size jeans you are wearing, unless they were trying to help you buy new one? 

Being pregnant twice now and having my body change so drastically deffinitelly altered the way I process this too, for sure. Being on a mission to find clothes that fit me, feel comfortable and make me feel good in a new and growing body? Body I love because it is bringing me a little bundle of joy. How could I possibly worry about what the label says?

Dress the way you want, in sizing that makes you feel good about you and stop worrying about what the label says! 

Till next time
your blabbing Deni.
