I’ve always been adamant that I will wear what makes me feel good and that the whole “you are too old to wear that” is misogynist bullshit.
However.
I’m in my mid 40s, overweight. I’m going to a garden party in a few weeks for a friends 40th.
I bought a dress from H&M which makes me happy. It’s pink and flowery, short with puff sleeves. I was going to pair it with a pink belt and some ankle boots. It’s not the most flattering style for my shape but I generally don’t care about looking fat, I am who I am. But I’ve suddenly got a pang of concern that I look like I’m trying to dress like a skinny young thing and I just look old fat and ridiculous.
Am I there? Am I suddenly at a “you are too old to wear that” place?
What should a fat 40 something wear to a garden party? I kinda never grew up and still dress like a child 😂
