I suddenly love my broad shoulders
Post Body

What's something you've learned to love about being tall... other than your height??

For a long time, I disliked how broad my shoulders were, because I thought they made me look masculine. I am skinny and that made them more obvious. When I was young, I read a disparaging comment from a guy who said that tall models were "human coat hangers" and it really hurt my feelings. Whenever I wore clothes I tried to disguise my shoulders.

I don't know when it changed, but suddenly I love my broad shoulders. I realized they make me look statuesque and stylish. I want to wear blazers with shoulder pads, I want to wear strapless dresses and stand up straight to make my shoulders look even more broad. I've started dressing to define them instead of disguise them. It makes me so happy to love something about myself that I hated for a long time.

Yes I'm a coat hanger and I make coats look fabulous.
