Style Notes: Martha’s Vineyard

Whew, Dolls…

There’s a phase in the GLP-1 journey nobody prepares you for: when all your clothes are suddenly too big, but you’re not sure what size you actually are yet, or what size you’re going to be next month.

It’s confusing. It’s honestly expensive if you’re not careful. And somewhere in the middle of it, you still want to feel good in what you’re wearing, not just tolerate it until things settle.

I’ve been living in that exact in-between all summer.

Weight loss doesn’t teach you how to get dressed, or how to talk to yourself while you’re doing it. This is a good time to shift how you think about shopping altogether. My body positive values have carried me through a lot, and they’re carrying me through this too, because dressing a changing body isn’t just a logistics problem. It’s a mindset one.

It’s okay to be inspired by a new size. I just try not to obsess over the tag. Bigger, smaller, it’s simply data. What matters is how gently I treat myself while I figure it out.

If the fitting room has never been your favorite place, you’re not alone. Trying things on in public, under bad lighting, while your size is a moving target, is a lot. I use Stitch Fix to make the process easier, everything comes to me, on my own time, on my own terms.

For my dolls who haven’t tried it: you fill out this style profile with your preferences, your lifestyle, your sizing, your budget. A stylist puts together a box based on that, called a Fix. Each Fix has a $20 styling fee, which gets credited toward anything you keep. Shipping, returns, and size exchanges are all included, so there’s genuinely no pressure to keep the whole box. You can send back what doesn’t work and keep only what does.

For me, that completely changed the way I shop. I’m not committing to a full closet overhaul in one sitting. I’m just trying things on, at home, at my own pace.

I’ve also pulled my favorite pieces from this summer’s Fixes into one place, so you can browse what’s earned a spot in my actual closet.

I’m not telling you to buy new clothes. I’m inviting you to slowly try no things in a low pressure environment so that you can build a wardrobe that supports the life you’re actually living right now.

If you’re also navigating a changing body and dressing it feels harder than it should, Stitch Fix might be worth trying.
