Know Thy Fashion Self

I would hate to think I’m predictable. I pride myself on trying new things and taking risks in fashion but what if I am unconsciously taking the same risks. Does that make them less risky? And more importantly, does that make me a fashion fraud?

Looking back over my fashion history, I see a common theme: thighs. Just for the times I’ve worn pieces from , I’ve covered almost every season and done it with my thighs out. From tunic tops as dresses to capes with shorts, I really just gravitate towards thigh-baring looks.

Today’s look is no exception from On The Plus Side is no exception. When I saw the Blithe Tunic, I loved how it was both fitted and flowy at the same time. I also took note of the curved hemline which made it cut shorter on the sides than in the front and the back. I instantly knew I wanted to wear it without pants.

Like everything I’ve worn from On The Plus Side, it’s extremely well-made. The front features a front gathering for some visual interest. The fabric is high stretch in a soft knit. It’s a tunic straight from my thigh-loving dreams.

After taking these pictures, I saw the pattern of styling looks that show my thighs. I felt guilty. I thought to myself, “Am I not giving other fat folks enough style inspiration?†among the other questions already mentioned. I had a moment of doubt with myself. But then I asked myself something else. I asked myself, “But does wearing this make you feel happy and free?†And with a resounding yes, the rest of the questions really didn’t matter anymore.
