Winter is here, and its getting really cold. In todays post I wanted to share some cold weather outerwear that is meant for the deep cold, you know what I am talking about the cold that bites you when you step out the back door. Before I started my body positive journey, not having outerwear that was good for those really cold days was one way I punished myself for being fat. I had this mindset that I was always going to lose weight and when I did that I would get a nice warm coat, so every winter I would make it work with not so warm coats and tell myself that I would eventually get a warm coat…someday.
When I started become body positive I realized that this body was deserving of being warm and having nice things. I realized that investing in myself held so much value. So I got a warm coat. I share all of this because I know I am not the only one that is guilty of living in shame of being fat, or punishing myself for not having the body that others have. Something as simple as being warm on the coldest winter days was a source of toxic body shaming, at the time I thought I was doing the right thing. And now I cant believe how mean I was being to myself.
All this to say, buy the right size. Get the warm coat. Invest in the body you have today. If there is anything that 2020 has taught us, it’s that we don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow, next week or next month. Don’t spend your precious time living in shame over your body. Just be warm.
Wow, that got heavy and I did not mean for that. lol
Lets talk about this winter puffer. Its from Lands’End, one of my fab brand partners from this fall and holiday season. I selected this coat to feature as a good gifting option for your loved ones this holiday season for a social media promotion, you can see that HERE. And I do think its because giving the gift of a well fitting warm coat is something that is special to a plus size person. Maybe its my past wounds that make me feel this way, this coat is a wrap style and does not have a zipper. It has snaps, and a hood the quality is stunning. I am wearing the 1X, and its an excellent fit for layering sweaters under this winter. I love this coat for when I am going to be outside for longer than 10 minutes, its SO WARM!
In todays post I am linking up warm puffer coats, hats and boots. Because its WINTER and we need to be warm!
