Phuck Yo Standards

A few weeks ago I was scrolling through Instagram and showed a group of my coworkers a look I liked from another plus size fashion blogger. She was a shorter woman that had a little stomach and was wearing a crop top. My coworkers pretty much unanimously dissed her look saying she should "dress for her body". Now mind you this isn't the first time Ive heard that but at that point it occurred to me the issue with that statement is that it that the opinion is not the persons own. People say "dress for your body" but they really mean dress according to the standard that society has suggested according to YOUR body. If a big girl with a little tummy is comfortable bearing her midriff then who says she's not dressing for her body? Fashion is a form of SELF expression how is anyone going to tell you how you feel about YOURSELF? So I say phuck the standards! Dress for YOUR mood and how you perceive and want to adorn/display YOUR body. The only persons whose opinion that should matter is your own. This ones for all the big girls that got told crop tops weren't for them
