Episode 13: Waiting For A Thinner Body

Get Styled

In today’s episode of the Get Styled Podcast, Elsa tackles one of the most common and consistent topics she hears from women when it comes to style. She’s heard this from potential clients, to friends, loved ones, and of course, all over the social media-verse.
And that is the subject of waiting for our body to be thinner before we invest in our style.
This episode is all about the pervasive myth that smaller bodies = “easier” to dress. That small bodies are “the norm”. And that small bodies are better. Spoiler alert - it’s NOT true.
Today I’m tackling the belief that we need to be in a smaller, thinner body, BEFORE we go through the process of identifying our personal style, or working with a stylist, or before we can feel beautiful and confident in our skin.
This is something SO many women struggle with, so let’s dive in and put this myth to bed once and for all.
