00:00One of the first fashion rules any young girl learns is how to dress for your body type.
00:04So you start reading fashion magazines and you kind of come across the same kind of thing.
00:08Your body is either an apple or a pear or an hourglass, which you know isn't a fruit, or a
00:13banana.
00:14But the crazy thing about this is that they all want you to look kind of the same way.
00:18The media would tell me that I had to dress to look more feminine, to pretend that I had curves
00:22when I didn't.
00:23This is an outfit that you would typically find in any fashion magazine telling what rulers or bananas should dress
00:30like.
00:31And, you know, there was a time in my life when I would have loved wearing this outfit, I think.
00:35I am going to change into something that feels a lot more comfortable.
00:40As you can see, this is not a curve-enhancing outfit, but I don't really care because what I do
00:46have are two awesome cars in the front of my shirt.
00:49My pants are really baggy and roomy.
00:51I'm sure that a lot of fashion magazines would despise the way that I look, but I feel good.
00:57I'm a classic hourglass.
00:59So for a lot of people, hourglass is maybe the ideal body type, but the way that they tell you
01:03to dress for it, I wasn't personally comfortable with.
01:06Show off your assets, wear a really tight top and show off your cleavage, but then magazines would say, wear
01:11a wrap dress.
01:12So you're not looking too voluptuous, too sexy.
01:16It just never really worked for me.
01:17I'm not afraid to be sexy, but I like to do it in a fun, like, not obvious way.
01:27Most people wouldn't choose this sort of boyfriend look for someone with my curvy, voluptuous body type.
01:34My mom hates these jeans because they don't do anything for me, but they do a lot for me, actually.
01:39I feel great in it.
01:40It's comfortable, and you know what they always say, if you're comfortable and confident, you look great no matter what.
01:46And that's kind of how I feel in my sexy boyfriend jeans.
01:53I'm a pear shape, and that means that I have really wide hips, and I have kind of a slimmer
02:00waist, but I'm not actually a fruit.
02:02I am a human being.
02:03I have been told that I should never wear tapered pants, shirts that hit my waist.
02:10I thought what I was supposed to do with clothes was to hide my body.
02:13When I saw this outfit, I was laughing so hard that tears came to my eyes.
02:18This is a little too much for me.
02:22I'm wearing one of my absolute favorite outfits.
02:25I have cut off the sleeves because how else would I show off my zip tags?
02:28This is a type of outfit that took me a long time to realize that I could wear it all.
02:34I spent a long time trying to lose enough weight to look good in black skinny jeans before I realized
02:39that I already look really good in black skinny jeans.
02:44I am an apple shape, and what an apple shape normally is is someone who has all of their weight
02:50in their midsection.
02:52Magazines normally tell apple shapes to cover up.
02:55As you can see, there are diagonal stripes on this dress to distract people looking at you.
03:01There was a time in my life I would have worn a dress like this.
03:03Honestly, I'd rather be wearing a little black dress.
03:09I feel super awesome and hot and amazing in this outfit, which is my outfit.
03:14It shows off the parts of my body that I have been told my entire life that I shouldn't show
03:19off.
03:19There's no reason why I can't wear a little black dress, and there is no body type that can't wear
03:25a little black dress.
