Loved every bit of this piece and inspired me to seek my own kind of comfort in style. Just last week I was sooo stressed and angry at how I had to put so much makeup and spend a lot of money and time on a graduation outfit. While all my male friends were in pants and a shirt, I had to be all dolled up plus uncomfortable or else I wouldn’t be “presentable” for such occasion.
I know exactly how you feel. It can almost feel like a costume at times. I hope you're able to define that comfort soon – best of luck on your style journey :)
Just last night I came across such a brilliant video on the subject of Beauty (via Kandis Williams on Instagram who is forever educating and expanding my mind) by Ismatu Gwendolyn, here’s a link I hope works :)
I love this! Her video is great – I'm definitely following her. I think it is a far deeper issue with so much nuance, especially when you consider race and the gender binary. Beauty can be such a charged word for so many different people and for a variety of different reasons, and so much of it traces back to the evils of capitalism 🙃
