I’m mid size – I refuse to let outgrowing my clothes get me down, even if I’m out of breath putting on my jeans
MANY fashionistas get upset when they find an old piece of clothing no longer fits.
But one TikTok user has found a way to put a positive spin on the situation.
Marielle Greguski shared her point of view in the latest installment of her series “Getting Dressed with Me While I Say Nice Things to You.”
The influencer said it’s all about a person’s frame of mind.
“When you start putting on clothes from last year and they don’t fit, don’t freak out,” Greguski said.
“Using that as motivation to try to lose weight is only going to damage you further.”
Instead, she likes to think of the situation as “outgrowing” the garments.
“Because, hello! Clothes are made to fit us,” Greguski said. “We are not made to fit clothes.”
She presented her viewers with a simple solution for the quandary.
“My babies, simply buy new clothes,” she said. “Isn’t it just the best excuse to go on a shopping trip? … You deserve it.”
Below the video, some of Greguski’s viewers were supportive and appreciated the advice.
“I’m not even the same person who wore those clothes a year ago,” one commenter said. “I’ve grown and my clothes should too!”
Most simply complimented the TikToker’s outfit and appearance.
“You are literally so gorgeous,” one commenter said.
But there were at least a few commenters who pushed back on Greguski’s advice.
“I can’t,” one said. “I have no money.”
Another commenter had a few potential solutions for those shopping on a budget.
“There are tons of sales in stores as well as coupons,” they said.
“Also! Try resale shops and sites like Shein/ROMWE.”
