Tennis Shoes With Springs
Getting Ready For Spring…Battling My Personal Enemy
Spring is here and it’s time to leave that cold, dark winter season behind us and step into the warm, bright season of spring. Spring is a time for change and renewal. We all know how hard change can be sometimes for all of us. It’s a time to peel off those wintery layers we subconsciously hide behind and show our true inner beauty. I don’t know about you but, generally in the wintery cold weather, all I want to do is hibernate and cuddle up on the couch with a warm cup of tea. Although doing so does not get daily tasks accomplished nor help to keep me motivated. I sit and dread the day that it’s too sunny and warm outside to wear my cozy sweat suit out to run errands and I am forced to come out of my comfort zone.
Spring means warm, gorgeous weather and, for me, that will mean less clothing, more skin…..my “personal enemy.” It means that we begin to wear cute little tank-tops, shorts, sun-dresses, open-toed shoes revealing all of the things most of us plus size women dread wearing. So what do we do? We can’t just spend another season hiding in our cozy “cover-all” clothing. It’s a time to reevaluate our thoughts and put them into a whole new positive perspective and get motivated. Thinking that just because I am carrying a few extra pounds does not mean I can’t enjoy this weather as much as the next woman. Focusing on the fun I will be missing out on by staying inside and hibernating always helps me break out of that oh-so familiar comfort zone.
This spring I have decided to turn a new leaf and take baby steps into approaching my personal enemy. I’ve decided that, as the weather begins to warm up, I will integrate essential spring pieces into my wardrobe slowly. Here are some great basic essentials from Sealed with a Kiss Designs that I love and will help you tackle perhaps your own personal enemy and help get your spring wardrobe off to a great start. Start off with a couple of the Basic Plus Size Tank sold for $13.99 available in a variety of colors to mix and match with your favorite jeans, shorts, or skirts depending on the weather. As for bottoms to mix and match, my first choice is the Haley Plus Size Tiered Skirt sold for $37.99 also available in a variety of colors. I love this skirt because it is perfect for those laid back, warm weather beach days and it hugs my curves perfectly. My second choice in bottoms would have to be the super cute Bernice Plus Size Bermuda Shorts sold for $24.99 and available in red or green plaid pattern. These shorts are the perfect length for us plus size women and would go perfect with a simple pair of tennis shoes or flip-flops. These are just a couple of great, basic and essential pieces that will help you get your spring wardrobe up and running and get you comfortable in showing off some skin.
So there you have it, my master plan on confronting spring my “personal enemy” and breaking into this season of change with a positive perspective. Remember that baby steps are okay, but no matter what, always love yourself and the skin you are in!
