11 Times It's Okay To Say EFF Your Beauty Standards!

You don't need to look very far to find an article or a story or a news item about how you, as a woman, are supposed to look.

Lacking a waist? Wear a thick belt.

Short? Wear nude colored shoes to give the illusion of height. 

Wanna look professional? Dye your grays. 

Wanna look young? Dress your age. 

These "helpful" lists and pieces of advice are actually shackles. 

The "F your beauty standards" movement is about rejecting what society says we need to do in order to meet some artificial idea of what beautiful is. 

See someone saying "women over 40 can't wear that"? To them say, F your beauty standards! 

You aren't a cookie cutter person. You're you, and that's enough.

If you're ever in doubt, here are 11 times you've absolutely got to say "F your beauty standards!" Loud and proud! 

1. When they say women with kids can't have long hair. 

F your beauty standards! Step off! My hair, my choice.

Why, because people will notice I have big boobs? F your beauty standards, I'm proud of my boobs!
