Common Misconceptions About Shopping For Jeans

Alot of people often have the wrong idea about what makes a good pair of jeans, so shopping for them feels like a chore, instead of something fun. Its not all about spending money on a designer label or allowing some silly fashion rule dictate how you dress your body.

Skinny jeans  are only for skinny people

Skinny jeans are flattering on almost every body type especially curvy girls. It accentuates the natural shape of a woman's body and makes her look taller. There is a common misconception that if you are curvy,  you need flared or boot- cut jeans to balance your hips, but those cuts can actually make you shorter and heavier.

Designer jeans have the best fit

Designers love to say how amazing their products are in order to justify the high price of their products, but in reality, good fit is all about what looks good on your body not the label.

You have to buy short jeans if you are short

A decent tailor can hem any pair of jeans in a few  minutes or hours depending. You don't have to lose that special rolled hem all jeans have. Instead your tailor can just cut that hem off and move it up wherever you want it. You won't even notice the seam unless you turn them inside out.

Jeans have to be dark

Don't be afraid to dress your body in colourful pants. A dark pair of jeans always looks good, but you can switch things up a bit  by adding red, sky blue, green or even a pink pair of jeans to your wardrobe to spice up your look.

Skin Bleaching And Low Self Esteem

Image
It seems like everywhere you turn to these days, there is a skin bleaching or rather a ‘toning’ product. Though I am dark skinned, there are times when people I know have said “you’re getting darker, you should do something about it. Try to tone your skin. I know a soap/cream/oil that would do the trick” And I wonder why it matters if I get darker due to exposure to the sun.  I am after all an African. Africans have dark skin. It is one of our characteristics. Personally I feel people that bleach their skins have low self esteem. They aren’t comfortable in their own skins. They don’t love themselves the way they are.

I have seen girls come out of school straight into their...
