Dear Fabulous 40-Something Women,
There’s something pressing I need to share—it’s time for a heart-to-heart. I sense a disconnect between us, perhaps even a bit of disdain. Let me unpack this.
You first catch sight of me in the aisle of your favorite discount store. Your eyes narrow as you approach, sizing me up with the scrutiny usually reserved for questionable fashion choices. As you consider my price tag, your expression mirrors the intensity of a dramatic scene from a classic film.
Before long, I find myself tossed into your cart alongside a stunning lavender cashmere shawl (an excellent pick, by the way). You navigate the store, dodging other shoppers as if I were a prized possession you’re trying to keep hidden.
In the dressing room, you confront your reflection in a mirror smeared with fingerprints. You examine the laugh lines that have deepened over the years, and beneath the harsh fluorescent lights, you take a breath, feeling the weight of the moment.
You unhook me from my hanger and attempt to try me on. The sounds of effort fill the small space—grunts, groans, and a few exasperated sighs. The struggle is real, as the fabric rubs uncomfortably against your skin. When you finally manage to close me, you realize you can’t move comfortably. Sound familiar?
Now, here comes my bold revelation: You deserve so much better than me. Your body—one that has carried you through life’s joys and trials—is worth more than any trendy pair of jeans. You, with your unique experiences, the love you give, and the adventures you embrace, are the real prize.
Your body has stories etched in its stretch marks and scars, symbols of resilience and strength. You’ve learned to appreciate yourself in ways that surpass mere appearances. The insecurities of youth have faded into a profound understanding of self-worth. The curves, the strength, and the spirit of your form are far more valuable than fitting into a fleeting fashion trend.
So please, I encourage you to let me go. Repurpose me into something that truly reflects your fabulousness—a cozy quilt, a stylish headscarf, or even a handy dishrag. Your body is meant to be celebrated, not constrained. It should flourish and expand, taking up the space it deserves in this world.
Next time you find yourself tempted to squeeze into me, think instead of embracing comfort and freedom. Reach for those delightful yoga pants that honor your shape and spirit.
With admiration,
S.L. Jeans
