    Raya! A sincere thank you for this video, it came at the perfect time for me. My daughter is a few weeks younger than Neo and even though I tell myself to embrace my new body, I go through periods of feeling uncomfortable. My body has also grown and changed, and I realized recently that I subconsciously expected I would “bounce back” by now. I’m constantly working towards loving my body no matter how it looks, for all it gives to me and my family. I follow so many UA-camrs and I hear them talk about their insane workouts and dieting plans and fasting or talking about “bad” foods and it just hurts me that diet culture has gotten so deep into our culture. Thank you for being open and vulnerable in this space with us!

    • @RayaWasHere
      @RayaWasHere  6 місяців тому +9

      Wow thank you for sharing! I know, it’s so so hard. I’ve actively been working to untrain my brain from all the diet culture crap. Especially now that we’re moms, it’s more important that ever to be aware of how we talk about our bodies in front of them! I also had clothes set aside for when I would ‘go back to my size before pregnancy’ but I’m about sell them all. It feels great to start fresh and to buy things for how I look now! It’s actually been a few weeks since I filmed this video and I’m feeling SO much better every day in my new wardrobe ❤️

    Love this style evolution, Raya! It matches your vibrant and warm personality, looks very comfy, but also really fashionable. Seriously, 100% adore! And a nod to linen pants which have been a GAME CHANGER for my summers too. They keep you cool and comfortable, without any chafing. Bonus: it's a sustainable material.

    I love pink and orange together too. In fact, that's the color scheme I picked for my flowers this year along with a bright splash of yellow thrown in too. I like the more muted green dress on you. It gives you a very nature-y vibe. And you look fantastic in jeans! Any color top will go with blue jeans. If you have an oops with Neo and get something on your top, it's a quick change-out rather than figuring out a whole new outfit.

  • @Alice-zs3eh
    @Alice-zs3eh 6 місяців тому +6

    The first earthy green! It’s warmer and suits your complexion more. The brighter cooler one washes you out a little I think and I see the dress before I see you

    Raya! I couldn't wipe the smile off my face while watching! Here are my notes lol😅:
    Turquoise dress yes
    The one that isn't quite friendly for breast feeding; chuck it but still try that design and a different pattern
    The red one looks a bit too churchy, however it's a great design to evolve on.
    Your pant journey is off to a magnificent start❤🎉

    As a curvy and busty woman I can totally relate to your clothing issues. I’m a dress gal too, and actually don’t own a pair of pants but have toying with the idea lately as well. All the pants looked amazing on you, and I love your colour choices! Now the green dresses both looked good but I prefer the brighter one. I liked the purple dress, it’s cute and colour variation is a good thing, those tassel ties will be something Neo will like to play with 😁. I totally agree about a wide band they help accentuate your figure. The red linen dress doesn’t read too corporate or buttoned up to me, the colour is fantastic in you and the fit is great other than across the chest as you mentioned. If the slight tightness bothers you or makes you self conscious, return it, but you could wear it the way it is or undo a couple more buttons and layer it with a tank. Happy clothes journey, and can’t wait to see what you find next.

    As a new first time mom I appreciate this so much. I have a 7 month old and struggling to find my “style”. It was hard enough being a “thicker” girl before the body change of having a baby. This is motivating me to figure out what I am comfortable and feeling good in. ♥️
    Side note: I choose the bright green dress! I feel like you always look so vibrant in bright colors.

    I think the more vibrant green suits you best 😊 although both greens are beautiful on you! and the red dress looks nice as well but as you said it seems a little too formal for your style .. but in case you want to have something like that as well then it's a catch! 👀
    I love that you mix different vibrant colours!! It looks fresh, fun and boosts my mood just by looking at you 💖💚

    @MichelleJonesKralka 5 місяців тому

    For the green dress choice I love the brighter green on you. It’s so cheery and fits your personality. The red dress you questioned maybe was too formal, I think if you took one of the amazing belts from your mom’s boutique and belted the dress - try navy blue, a pink, or other unexpected combo color to red it would look less dressy and more spontaneous. Also you look fabulous in the jeans! I hav a hard time finding the right jeans these days too, but when you find the ones you just know.
