00:00
Listen, we've talked crop tops and fas and now it's time
00:05
to address micro mini skirts like I,
00:09
I love the trend but I just don't know if it was
00:12
designed for Latinas in mind,
00:14
dude because you know,
00:14
we got that extra like truthfully it must be a dress because
00:20
you know, we're kind of blessed,
00:22
you know, we've got a complaining and you know what I
00:26
this can often lead to wardrobe malfunctions.
00:29
I experience some up on multiple occasions,
00:32
you know, especially when I'm dancing Perro intenso,
00:35
I mean Pero S intenso and ready for the intenso part.
00:39
Yeah, it's not built with that in mind.
00:42
I actually came across this tiktok from Maria and Mac talking
00:46
about this exact dilemma and we invited Maria to join us to
00:51
help discuss this dilemma.
00:53
Maria, welcome. Hello.
00:56
Most of the trends that are going on right now are not
01:00
meant for everybody as in like mainly for a size two white
01:05
girl which you know,
01:06
go off, you look great,
01:07
but you can't catch me dead in a micro mini skirt in
01:10
my Latina. There he is not going to let me do
01:13
that you're going to see everything and anything you can if I
01:16
do that. Thank you so much for joining us.
01:18
So we'll just jump right into it.
01:20
What is with mini skirts?
01:22
What's going on? I saw them there,
01:24
see them like on Pinterest all online and they look very cute
01:27
on these like very thin,
01:28
thin girls. They looked so Parisian so chic and I was
01:31
like, hey, I wanna try that out.
01:34
Ordered one from revolve.
01:36
It was scary. I couldn't move there.
01:38
There was no way like the back did one of these flips
01:42
that's not gonna work with my body t definitely a humbling experience
01:46
When you see something so cute on people online,
01:49
you order it, you try it out and then you're like
01:52
either stuck in it or it just really doesn't work out
01:56
It's, it's heartbreaking.
01:58
what, how does it look like this on them?
01:59
There's some pieces. It's just not for me.
02:02
damn, I look like a muffin top but it's ok.
02:05
You know, if there was that store,
02:06
Brandy Melville, it was one size only.
02:10
I, I had to ask for help.
02:13
I got stuck in these shorts,
02:14
like stuck, stuck and my friends ought to come in and
02:17
help me because it was bad.
02:18
It was bad. What are other trends that weren't designed with
02:22
Latinas in mind? The straight cut denim maxi skirts.
02:27
The, those are so bad.
02:32
I also bought another favorite revolve the Hollister jeans from back in
02:37
the day. They either get stuck or if you got a
02:40
bigger size, it'd be so big around your waist.
02:45
The low jeans that are like coming back.
02:49
Let's cancel them. I have a hat for this one.
02:51
I have a hat for this one for that one.
02:54
please because we need to know because it looks so cute.
02:57
So it's like oversized and like glow.
03:00
Right? So what I ended up doing,
03:02
you know what? My husband's jeans,
03:04
they always fit a little wiggly.
03:08
They're low waist and then usually I'll do like a bobby pin
03:10
in the back or if it's a decent or small little chip
03:16
So it fits around my waist.
03:17
It doesn't fall, but it's nice,
03:19
loose and baggy and I don't have to spend any money.
03:21
That is intelligent. A chip clip.
03:27
I love the chip clip.
03:28
Genius. Amazing. I love that on the mannequins.
03:32
That's what they do.
03:32
You're so right. You pin the clothes.
03:35
They're wearing a size zero size two and you're pinning it on
03:38
the mannequin normalize wearing chip clips.
03:40
Yeah, the mannequins be looking snag.
03:42
Yes, they're like ta which designers or brands do you think
03:46
cater to our bodies?
03:48
Which ones are getting it?
03:49
Right. That makes clothes with LYCRA.
03:52
It's ridiculous. But like what I found for my body type
03:56
anything that is snug and tight,
03:59
it's gonna look great.
04:00
I can pull it down if need be,
04:02
but it's not going to like fit weird or oddly shaped Levi's
04:07
Doctor Denim. Doctor Denim jeans.
04:10
They, they have a small waist so the way they fit
04:13
is like you put them on,
04:15
they're nice and snug on the hips,
04:17
nice and snug on the waist.
04:18
So it's very like perfect and the zipper goes all the way
04:22
down. So you can actually jiggle into them.
04:26
I know I hate when the zippers just like it doesn't give
04:30
you wiggle room or they kind of like build up to your
04:34
body. That, that sounds promising that we'll be looking into
04:39
that next search though.
04:42
I need to find the good swimsuits for these.
04:45
Our body types swimsuits aren't fitting anyone nowadays.
04:48
Have you seen the Gossip Strip?
04:51
There's no way there's no way something about a pop out like
04:55
I'm trying to look good,
04:56
but I'm not trying to cause a scandal.
04:58
