Howdy peoples!
It's a world full of slay queens and kings and while I'm not one to value outward appearance over inner beauty, I certainly think looking your best is a strong factor in FEELING your best.
Expressing my style as a wheelchair user can be quite tricky but as I shared in my most recent video - My feelings about life on a wheelchair - I certainly enjoy expressing my style and never let anything hold me back. Watch the video if you haven't already, I also show how I transfer off the wheelchair in that video.
While I have managed to perfect the art of taking pictures ON the wheelchair, I love it even more when I transfer OFF the wheelchair for some extra poses.
I somehow manage to still have the wheelchair in some of my pictures though, because it's certainly nothing to be ashamed of - I just enjoy variety in life.
Do not be fooled by my posture, it only lasted a few seconds and I mustered all of my strength to use my trunk muscle for this shot. LOL.
I get a lot of messages from other wheelchair users asking me how I slay, and honestly, while it may not be the most inspirational response, the truth is, I JUST DO. I find outfits that work for my body type and try my best to get things that I can easily wear without getting pressure sores.
Another common question I get from ladies on wheelchair is: How do you wear high heels?
My response to that is, if I want to wear heels for a long period of time, I generally go for wedged heels. They have more balance to them and I can prop my feet nicely on the wheelchair foot plate.
I also buy shoes that have lots of "spacing" in them because the spaces mean that there isn't much pressure from the shoe on my feet. And I usually also buy shoes with laces so that I can easily adjust the fit as my leg swells up (this is very common for wheelchair users).
The ultimate truth however is that, I DON'T WEAR MY SHOES FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. lol... Yes, just like ladies not on a wheelchair, I too can only handle heels for a short period of time before I take them off and either go bare feet, or change into flats.
I Hope you have enjoyed my answers to some of the most common questions I get about styling and looking fashionable on a wheelchair.
Remember, style should reflect your personality and what works for someone else's body type might not work for you. Do you, be you, and stay true to yourself.
Thanks for visiting.
Till Later

Of course this task can also be done by hydraulic wheelchair lifts. But the main advantage of battery operated over hydraulic wheelchair lifts is the price buy electric wheelchair
ReplyDeletePeople who are dependent on wheelchairs are often not prefer to go outside of their home because of their inability. But with the help of high performance scooters, they can go for short rides within short distances without worrying about their inability.
