Do you like to read women's magazines? And how many times have you been guided by the recommendations received in these prospectuses when choosing clothes, a lifestyle, a way of interacting with loved ones? We do this unknowingly, but if we pay attention to the “internal controller”, the result may be behavior of the type “challenge to public opinion”. This is what Katie Johnson, the mother of three, is wearing a tight-fitting dress that accentuates her not perfect figure.
Cry from the heart
"You owe it, you cannot do this, avoid that, take an example …" - these and similar phrases fill our subconscious mind every day and every minute. They penetrate our brains from everywhere - from the media space, from the pages of popular women's magazines, through tips received from friends and acquaintances, through advertising on the Internet …
Do you still believe you are free from this? Then review your wardrobe - you will see that a lot of its contents were acquired not because you liked it, but after you saw some thing on the model in the advertisement. You know (and from where?) That you should definitely not wear any styles, because some authoritative person in the fashion world declares this. And you don’t wear them, although you may like them madly …
Katie Johnson decided to do away with the total control of her style by glamorous authorities. She runs the blog The Mother Octopus (translated as "Mother Octopus").
In the style of Coco Chanel
Even women far from the world of fashion know that Coco Chanel came up with a small black dress. They also remember very well how it looks - black and fitting all the bulges of the body. Of course, any adequate lady will not allow herself to wear it without being confident in the impeccability of her figure.

Katie knew about all these nuances when she surveyed herself in the dressing room in this particular “cocktail dress”. The parameters of her figure did not fit into the style of black perfection. Johnson weighed almost 72.5 kg, and she should have chosen a different style, and not take risks with a tight model. But she wanted this particular dress, no matter what. And she bought it, sending away all the advice of magazines, about which she wrote on her page on Facebook.
The reaction of the electorate
Katie's subscribers did not remain indifferent to such a flagrant violation of the canons - there were more than 4000 reactions to this post in three days. At the same time, the woman did not wait for approval at all, she simply made it clear and clearly that her priorities differ from the majority opinion. She decided to show maximum kindness to herself. It was a kind of challenge, and the point here is not so much in the dress as in the desire to free oneself from the prohibitions and dictates of fashionable authorities.
Katie wrote on her blog that she knows very well that she is not recommended to wear this dress, but she intends to wear it many more times because she likes it. After this statement, Katie said for what reason she decided to purchase this risky outfit: she and her husband made a sortie to the restaurant. Commenting on her appearance, the woman noted that she looks a little pregnant in this dress, but this is normal, given the birth of 2 children.
