I used to care a lot more about what I wore - I had a grunge punk thing going on. Lots of plaid flannel with torn up jeans, a wallet chain, Doc Martens, and a punk band patch battle jacket. Now I mostly live in plain black leggings and a dark gray tee, because I'm mostly at home and it's just easier to work out, do housework, etc in that kind of clothing. I get my leggings from Rep Fitness and my t-shirts from Amazon.
I do still wear jeans and plaid flannels a lot when I go out. Jeans are hard because my body is a weird shape due to weightlifting. I've always had a big butt and thighs, but now they're swole so jeans never fit right. If they fit in the butt and thighs, they're enormous in the waist, with a big gap in the back, and constantly sliding down. Plus I'm 5'0" with a short torso so usually low-rise fit the best, but those are hard to find (I think high-rise is more popular right now?). Currently I get jeans from American Eagle but they're not a great fit. I'd love to find jeans that fit my body and don't make me look dumpy!
I took a look at the sites you linked, and they look awesome - they definitely have things that are right up my alley! Have you checked out BlackMilk? You might like some of their stuff!
Omg this dress is amazing
Wow that's gorgeous. Yeah, BlackMilk is legit!
You may want to try out some jeans with really high elastaine content. Good American makes most of their jeans super stretchy, as does Spanx. You can buy them secondhand a lot too.
Ahhh thank you!
I love the jean and plaid look! I train a lot so I can really relate, my shoulders are pretty big for a female and it's a passive PITA finding clothing. Jeans wise have you tried getting stretchy jeans and getting them altered by a seamstress?
Just gonna look at black milk now I've not heard of them, thanks!
