The Battoos dresses are available now! (Did I mention they're velvet?) 💜 A special edition dress for spooky season! 🦇🦇🦇 Although the pattern's not overtly Halloween (no ghosts or pumpkins) so you can wear it all year round - especially if you're a Halloween every day sort of person.... 🎃👻 The sizes are slightly different to the other dresses - I've tried to match them as consistently as possible but please check the chest size, especially if you're between sizes. It's just a seasonal release, so there's limited stock. #dress #dresses #skaterdress #halloween #halloweeneveryday #goth #gothic #velvet #bat #bats #ilovebats #batstagram #battattoo #batty #bluehair #alternativestyle #altstyle #witch #witchy #spookyseason #gothicstyle #altfashion #witchyaesthetic #witchythings #witchystyle #partydress #velvet #gothicclothing #gothlook #witchyclothes

Old me: Such light coloured leggings are gonna make me look fat. Maybe I should go for darker colours. 😩 Current me: I love these colours and I like how they look with my skates! I’ll wear them! 🛼 Yah, honestly, I get that I’m far from the idealised body type and this is downright puzzling for many people to see someone so outrightly heavy-set in clothes that are usually shown and worn publicly by slimmer individuals. Was I insecure? Confirm lah. Sometimes I will wonder if I should pull my tights up and if my rolls are causing distress to other people. But then I think to myself, no one bats an eyelid of a hot body in this exact get up. My outfit isn’t the problem. It’s perception and lack of representation. So yes, like most ladies, I am conscious of myself. But I’m fighting everyday: ✨ The perception that I can’t appreciate my body until it’s kicked into “shape” ✨The mindset that just because I’m heavier means I’m inactive ✨ The belief that I have to hide myself until I look “socially acceptable” I’m not hiding and waiting anymore and if this resonates and you’ve felt this way, this is your sign that it’s time to come out in the open and allow yourself to be. Thanks @sparksactive for their lovely bestselling Butter leggings in Pastel & Candy (Size 12) and Cool Mesh Sports Bra in Waterfall (Size 12/XXL) to accompany me on my first roller skating lesson with @skat3rgalz yesterday! It’s Day 4 of Project Whale on Wheels documenting all the fun I’m having skating. I really enjoyed myself. Didn’t realise I skated for almost 2 hours. 🌈 Also, SPARKSXCARRIE for 10% off any Sparks Active purchase without minimum purchase. 5% of proceeds go to a charity you choose (at the moment that’s environment, education, or refugee/asylum seekers). #Rollerskating #QuadSkates #ChayaSkates #WhaleonWheels #Lioncityrollerskaters #BodyPositivity #BodyNeutrality
