My pet peeve at the moment is Instagram influencers re-posting on their stories other influencers saying how great they are. I’ve unfollowed Dani today after a slew of re-posts from people saying how hilarious she is.
I used to really like her but she’s become dull and unrelatable. There’s a cycle of posts that she repeats: TMI about ‘my girlfriend’, followed by complaining on Twitter that people are too interested in their relationship, followed by moaning about her shite engagement levels, followed by loads of self congratulatory ‘I’m so hilarious’ posts.
BORING!
Her engagement levels would probably increase if she was a bit more innovative or interesting. All these influencers moaned through lockdown about losing freelance work. Yet, they could have tried to make the most of the opportunity. I would have loved to see some comfortable but stylish working from home looks or maybe some tips on working out at home as a plus size person or literally anything that would be relevant during lockdown.
I don’t know why she wasn’t posting looks from her home. She could have taken one key piece per week and styled it in a few different ways . All using stuff she had in her wardrobe. That’s the sort of plus size fashion inspiration I am after. And if her pain was too bad for that, she could get a mannequin and photograph the clothes on it or even on their hangers if getting in and out of the clothes is too much.
In general most of the plus size influencers have been a big disappointment during lockdown. They’ve basically inspired me to stop following them.
