00:00I never buy a pair of jeans that don't make my butt look nice.
00:04Hi, I'm Sophie Simmons, and today we're talking about dressing ourselves.
00:09I don't know about you guys, but I have a ton of stuff in my closet I've been keeping forever
00:12that either doesn't fit or I'm wearing it and it's uncomfortable.
00:16This dress I've had since I was 21. I'm 27 now.
00:20I held onto it because I always thought maybe I could lose weight.
00:23Why did I buy this thing?
00:24When you keep stuff in your closet that doesn't fit you, whether it's too small or too big,
00:29you're projecting onto yourself this idea of a body that isn't yours.
00:34They're size 8 and I am a fabulous size 14.
00:39First step into finding clothes that fit you is knowing your measurements.
00:44The first thing you're going to need is a measuring tape.
00:47Okay, I don't even know how to use this, see?
00:49The key measurements you want is across the largest part of your bust, the smallest part of your waist, and
00:54the largest part of your hips.
00:5633 and a half with padding.
00:59Zero.
01:00Nope.
01:01I am done hoarding clothing that doesn't fit me, so I'm going to challenge myself to go through my closet
01:07getting rid of everything that doesn't fit.
01:10Okay, I don't think I've worn spaghetti straps since high school.
01:14I'm underneath it somewhere.
01:16Now this is a dress that makes me feel awesome.
01:19For one, it fits, it's the right size, and it's comfortable, and I feel like that's the most important part.
01:26I think when you're wearing something that you feel good in, it just makes every part of you feel a
01:31little bit more confident.
01:32Now that I've cleaned out my closet, I feel much more confident in my wardrobe, and I think I'll feel
01:37more confident walking out of the house tomorrow.
