ive been thinking...

so i was browsing through the blog www.cocosteaparty.com and she's got a post on fashion editors and what they were wearing at fashion week. the first thing i noticed was that obviously they all look fab, they are all gorgeously thin and willowy, and they all have great jeans and great footwear. jeans are my one love and one nightmare. i wear them almost every day (when im not in trackies or leggings) and yet i am still on the hunt for that perfect pair. my body has changed a lot in the past 6 years, and my jeans range from cheap to expensive, dark to faded, slim to boyfriend. shoes i also love but also find a nightmare. im most happy in ballet pumps or converse, but love a beautiful shoeboot or pump. trouble is ive always been on a budget, so ive got a few pairs that are not quite right/verging on tacky. so really i should have just splurged on that fab pair in the first place.

i guess what im trying to say is that maybe now is the time to invest and also embrace the jean and heel. these women wouldnt look as good if they didnt have that great pair of jeans or if they wore a pair of primark heels. ok so their bodies are banging, but good clothes do help. and i know that i dont and unfortunately never will have a body that is like theirs, but the thing that keeps creeping up in my mind, the person who looks fab 100% of the time and who is probably one of the sexiest women in the world... beyonce. oh yes. i think we all need to start looking at her more, because she looks just as sexy as the fashion eds yet she has a 'normal' sized body...
so i guess the moral of the story is that i need a new pair of shoes and jeans, and that you dont have to be skinny to look really cool!
