“Some time over the last 10 years, I stopped looking in the mirror and expecting a thin girl. It sounds silly, but for years I kept thinking I might secretly be thinner than I was, and then see photos and feel badly about myself. And when I realized that no one was going to look at me, no matter what I wore, and say “Wow, she’s so thin!” I got over it. I liked myself more.”
This actually makes a lot of sense and I think this is where I’m trying to get to.
I love this and CUT OUT THE LINING?! I really needed to know this. I sew and everything and yet never thought of this. SO many times a breathable piece is limited by a non breathable lining and so here is the solution. Deep thanks!
I've done this to so many things!!! I'll buy something (usually used) and either think the lining is too tight for whatever the piece is, or it makes me feel itchy/scratchy/icky for some sensory reason.
I love these Style Questionnaires, and this one is awesome!!! I adore Torunn's style so much, and her positive attitude, too! <3 I definitely want more big striped shirts also :D
Vava Lingerie was one of the best finds for me. The lace bralettes are truly comfortable to wear all say. 95% off the time I'm wearing Arq granny panties & bralettes with no support but whenever I get DRESSED I wear Vava & it really feels amazing. Also Alyssa is wonderful to work with. Love your style, thanks for sharing!
I love these, Corinne. I'm so glad that these badass fat women living their best lives are sharing their thoughts and photos and inspiration with you and with us. They make me feel excited about clothes and happy about living in my body.
Also now I need a giant button-down shirt/dress thing that comes to my knees IMMEDIATELY.
Am I wrong that there is no link for the tunic dress? I tried looking for it on the site for the barrel pants but it doesn't seem to be from that site. Sorry if I am an idiot!
TRULY THO, do I need a thigh tattoo.
Yes & yes
I was thinking the same thing.
Doesn't your new black dress/witch costume have a thigh slit? How hot would that be with a tat?! Just an idea ;)
It’s the least painful place I’ve ever gotten a tattoo
It was the most painful for me (mainly the bit closer to my knee) - but I still highly recommend!
Thank you for introducing me to my new style icon! I love these questionnaires. I love your Substack!

I always know I’ve read this newsletter when I have one million tabs open because I have to check it all out! So good.

Thank you, so freeing to know people do this with success!
You inspired me to just buy two packs of the high waisted underwear your mentioned! Also, you're adorable but first things first!
Re: lingerie. I really really really want to order a set from Lottie J. I am obsessed with her mesh bralettes.
GET THE THIGH TATTOO. It’s worth it.
Love love love Torunn's style.
