Instagram , are we still friends?

I've deleted IG from my life many times before. I never regret it when I do. I missed my online community, but the stress of wondering if my likes, views and comments are what I expected. Wondering if the online community will validate my content, wondering if I'm connecting. The articles constantly saying people are done with influencer culture.

Every time I get in my head about the numbers and that I kept my stories alive, I remind myself that the content isn't for me. I have to constantly remind myself the point isn't to keep up with everyone else. The point is to be visible as a different standard of beauty, to encourage others who may be going through similar struggles through transparency, and connecting with other women.

Now that we've gotten the non-style related content out and in the open. Lets have a little commotion for the dress. Actually lets talk about how this whole image feels a bit monumental. This selkie dress has been on my Must have list since the beginning of quarantine, maybe earlier, and a payment for one of the contracts I had helped me pay for it. It's A $300 dress. Buying $300 dresses is not apart of my life. I also didn't buy this dress from the retailer, I got it sustainably! Someone else didn't like the way it fit, so they sold it at a reduction, a little over $100, and it feels and fits like a literal dream.

I've seen them for sale at Anthropologie, and they offer Afterpay which is clutch.
