Girl Talk: Clothes Don't Define Us

-
 
Hey Guys x
 
'Girl Talk's' are back!
 
I haven't done a 'Girl Talk' post since last year, which is crazy! But recently a lot of people have commented that they really liked them, so I thought I would kind of bring them back on a trial basis.
 
I'm only ever going to do them if I have an idea that I want to write about, as with all of my posts. But when I used to 'Girl Talk' posts, I used to find it really hard to come up with an idea every Friday, and it made writing these posts no fun.
 
But now that I've had a break from writing them, I've come up with some fresh new ideas and I'm happy to finally be getting this one written!
 
Anyway, let me get on with it!
 
I have a problem with clothes.
 
I've never been the type of person to keep up with the latest fashion trends or to buy things just because everyone else says that they're must-haves.
 
But going to a girls school for 7 years now has really allowed me to see the different ways that clothes affect people.
 
For example, people are judged a lot on what they wear.
 
Not like me personally, but I've noticed that whenever someone doesn't like someone else, they tend to make a comment about what they're wearing as well. Such as 'Have you seen her shoes?' or 'Why is she wearing that?'
 
This annoys me.
 
Obviously girls gossip and bitch about each other. I do this, we all do this, we can't deny it.
 
Also, if you don't like someone, it's kind of customary to talk about them to your close friends, just because you don't like them for some reason, which, in my opinion, isn't 100% ok but we all need to vent, and as long as it's not malicious, it's fine.
 
What's not fine, however, is to make people feel bad because of the way that they're dressed or the way that they look.
 
Our clothes and what we wear should not define who we are or how we're treated.
 
Not wearing dresses doesn't make you a 'tomboy' and wearing dresses doesn't make you 'girly'. I mean, it can, but if it doesn't, that's fine.
 
If you're a tomboy that sometimes wears dresses, that's fine. If you're girly but like to wear khaki trousers and combat boots, this is fine.
 
Wear what you want to wear, not what other people think you should wear.
 
I could go on about this, but I really have to restrict myself because I don't want to ramble too much!
 
Thank you for reading
 
If you want me to continue doing 'Girl Talk' posts, please let me know!
 
Comment below your dress style! Mine is comfortable/girly
 
Keep Smiling - Lou xx

    I really enjoy these types of posts. I totally agree and I think the world would be a much better place if we just allowed each other to wear whatever we want xxx

    This was awesome- it's so true and I'm glad that you're talking about this ^.^ I used to be super cautious about everything I wore but now, I just don't care anymore... I was absolutely petrified to wear dungarees and puffy dresses and slightly out-there coats but I don't give one anymore- fashion's fun and people shouldn't judge others for what they wear

    It's true that a lot of people are rude and comment about others appearance. I too tend to change my style. I like to see what's trending but am not a big fashion addict. Great post.

Venom: The Last Dance | Film Review

While on the run, Eddie Brock and Venom (Tom Hardy) are pursued by a dangerous military organisation. But when aliens from Venom's home world come to Earth, the pair have to make a devastating decision that will change their lives forever. I watched the first Venom movie when it came out years ago, didn't really like it that much, and subsequently didn't watch the second. But totally randomly last week I decided to re-watch the first movie, and ended up liking it enough to also watch the second. And as soon as I finished that, I went to the cinema to see this new one. I really liked this film - it was so much better than I thought it was going to be! My favourite thing about this franchise is the relationship between Eddie and Venom, and for me this film was the best version of the characters together. Because, while the comedic moments between the pair are still there, there's a lot more heart in this story than there has been previously, and this is especially evident

Smile 2 | Film Review

After a harrowing accident, popstar Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) is putting her life back together and embarking on a world tour. But after witnessing a suicide, she begins to experience strange occurrences - the strangest of which is a smile that seems to follow her wherever she goes...  Having absolutely loved the first film, I was so excited to see where this next one would take the storyline, and it seemed really promising! But my high expectations were probably why I ended up being so disappointed with the final result. I know that this is definitely an unpopular opinion, but I didn't really like this sequel. However, I did like how it began. It directly connects itself to the first film in a really interesting way, and that was fun to watch. Then it kind of went downhill. For me personally, I didn't love the character of Skye Riley. I didn't really feel connected to her, and it never felt like the film allowed me to get to know her that well. So as much as the events are

Book Review #138: Kill For Me, Kill For You by Steve Cavanagh

  After meeting by chance one evening, Amanda and Wendy realise they have something in common - they are both experiencing grief and want to make the men who destroyed their families pay. Knowing they can never exact the revenge they crave, they come up with an idea: if you kill for me, I'll kill for you... The premise of the book is deliberately vague, but I think the main idea of it is enough to give you a flavour of what the story is about. I have mixed feelings about this book. There's so many things about it that I really loved, but there are also a few things that I could have done without. To start off, the first two chapters are absolutely riveting. I feel like it took no time at all to bond and connect with the characters. Not only are the chapters exciting, but they're also really visceral. You feel like you're living in the scenes with the characters. It would have been amazing if the whole book had stayed like this. The story is told from two points of view,

Lagaan | 100 Movies Bucket List

-
Image
Of all the movies I watched for the bucket list, this one was without a doubt the hardest to track down. Thankfully I managed to find it but it was looking impossible for a while! I ended up watching a version that didn't include the musical numbers, so I had to listen to the soundtrack separately, which felt really weird. But at the same time, I don't feel like anything was missing from the story by not having the songs in it. I'd never heard of the film before, but an almost 4-hour long movie about cricket wasn't exactly enticing. Thankfully the film is a lot more interesting than it sounds! There's a lot of underlying themes, and even when the scenes are about cricket, the game isn't really the most important thing. It was really fun spending time with these characters and seeing them interact. The one thing I didn't expect from this film was for it to be so uplifting. Even though it's not entirely sunshine and rainbows, you fall into step with this g

City of God | 100 Movies Bucket List

At this point in the bucket list we start getting to the films that are a bit harder to find. I had never heard of this film before seeing it on the list, and I didn't look it up before watching it (beyond searching for a platform to watch it on), so I had no idea what it was about. Sometimes when I'm watching the bucket list movies I write a couple of little notes to remind myself how I felt about it, as I don't give them full reviews. For this one, the only thing I wrote was 'harrowing' and I think that describes it well. The film doesn't shy away from anything troubling or uncomfortable, and it doesn't try to sugar-coat what the characters are going through, or what their lives were like. Apparently it's loosely based on true events and that feels really evident. Because of that, these characters feel extremely authentic. Whether you're familiar with their lives or not, you empathise and sympathise with them because it feels like you're watchi
