EG

Quite inspired by Victoria Beckham and her documentary. Almost a year ago- first time I tried on and purchased a VB dress. As much as I love them, I didn’t think the clothes would be for me coz I’m not on the telly or anything and when I was 18 at the same postpartum stage, I watched her live in that TFI Friday episode where Chris Evan’s put her on the scales. I didn’t question the ethics of it all but what I remember thinking was “oh shit well I’m nowhere near what she weighs or looks like” That’s that. Feels so ridiculous now looking back. Anyway- cut to 25 years later & the way I felt when I put that dress on! I love that it fit me the way it did. I felt like ME! I don’t need to look or feel like anyone else or be smaller or taller or bigger etc. To my surprise, the dress and the material just worked with me:) I also felt so privileged to be able to purchase it, partly because that 18 year old teen mum wasn’t quite sure what the future looked like. I think the biggest take away from the doc and this memory that was triggered is -be true to yourself, listen to your gut, just do you & you’ll be all good. VB did that yet she was underestimated time and time again. This is also just a chance to share the dress again because I don’t know when I will wear it again! 😂
