Hi sweetie! Continuing on with all the things u & I have in common… I hate dresses lolol. I think since I wore my wedding dress back in 1989 I’ve worn only 1 or 2 since. 🤣 My mom was VERY feminine. Wore dresses all the time. Very much into fashion. Was very creative and gifted artistically (like her dining room table always looked like she was about to throw a dinner party, with the cloth napkins turned into swans lol). She had impeccable taste. She sewed, crocheted, cooked everything from scratch (oh how I miss her cooking, especially around the holidays) and was a size 2 her whole life. I am NONE of those things. 😂 She sewed dresses for me when I was in elementary school. HATED wearing them. I would die a lil bit inside every time she dragged me to the sewing shop to get material or patterns lol. Couldn’t wait to get out of there! Oh and sewing class in junior high is the only class I almost failed. The only reason I didn’t is because she sewed a jacket for me and I turned it in as if I did it. 😂 She & I were polar opposites in pretty much everything lol. I used to feel bad about that. Like maybe I was a disappointment to her because I was the biggest tomboy EVER. I was always climbing trees, trying to keep up with my brother & his friends, playing in the mud, etc. lol. I was never a disappointment to her. That is how I felt. Not her. We were extremely close & I miss her every day. Black clothing is probably 80% of my wardrobe. Love how it slims & hides flaws. I don’t own anything white. Hahahahaha. Ok, maybe a T-shirt. 🤣 I am also plus sized but am actually losing weight (37 lbs so far, Yay!) thru dieting. I love walking but unfortunately am dealing with an injury that prevents me from doing so right now (for exercising). I can walk normally. I am just really mindful of the food I eat & it’s working. Always hated how the lbs are so easy to add up but so difficult to come off. ESPECIALLY as we get older. Ugh. Lastly my love may I just say how proud I am of you for posting this. It takes COURAGE to show the world your body type when it’s NOT like the models you showed in the catalog, ESPECIALLY on a platform like YT, where potentially tons of people can view it. I would NEVER do what you’re doing. Talk about stepping out of your comfort zone. As old as I am, I still try to work on my growth as a human being every day & I do challenge myself but there are limits lol. You set a goal, you’re sticking to it & I just think that’s WONDERFUL. You already are reaping some of the benefits by trying new things & finding out they’re not as bad as you feared. It will all culminate in growth and self love, something we as females so desperately need in this world of worshiping what’s on the outside rather than focusing on what truly matters…who we are on the inside. Ok my love. Enough preaching lolol. Keep up the great work! I’m sure you’re an inspiration to a lot of full figured ladies out there! Be safe & be blessed sweetie. 💜💜💜💜💜
Wow! At this point we are basically twins lol! Thank you for sharing your dislike for dresses! 🤣 I’m working on - I’m not really a girly girl but I feel like I’m defo stepping into my femininity more this year and I’m loving it. Next step is me forcing myself to wear pink lol 🤣 P.S I hate pink! Funny that black is your go to as well … how strange! Your mother sounds like an incredible person and I’m glad the memories you have of her are fond ones - minus you having to wear your dresses lol! I am also on the journey of loosing weight! Congrats on your 37lb weight loss … that is amazing!!!! I’m proud of you! I know how hard it is. Keep up the hard work and hopefully you’ll be able to get back exercising soon 😊 Thank you! 🥹 I debated many times whether I was going to post it because I thought about all the things you mentioned. Then I remembered what I what my channel to be about … authenticity … so I’m realising that not every video will be perfect but that’s okay … that’s part of the journey and one day I’ll be able to look back through these videos and see how far I’ve come. This UA-cam channel is actually giving me a new lease of life … I didn’t think I would find so much peace and happiness in filming and editing but at my core I’m a creative and a helper … so actually … it makes sense! Thank you for your sweet words as always and stay tuned for a new video real soon 🤍
I love your energy and overall style... and u are incredibly elegant
Thank you so much! Very sweet of you to say so! Have a blessed day 😊

I really like the last one.
@@alakiahm8884 thank you lovely ☺️
You should try Avenue or Ashley Stewart or Torrid.
In the dresses you have to size up 2 sizes
@@francesguillaume6284 I’ve actually never heard of any of these shops so thank you for this! 🤍
You needed to go up 2 sizes and you would have been fine.
@@itsadealcherry6685 Yep defo would have helped 😂
