This is a bit more indicative of my style as of late. I've been dressing a little differently, experimenting with different looks and whatnot. Lately, my affinity for tight little numbers reminiscent of the 50's has taken center-stage. To hell with ‘oh, I can’t wear this because of my body..’ Yes, I still have occasional body blues, but by wearing what I feel pretty in instead of lamenting over how to best hide my body, I've grown more confident. Fashion should be fun, you know? And I seriously doubt that anyone out there is obsessing over my weight any more than I could have.
Everyone has insecurities, and for the longest time, mine has been my size. I'd be lying if I said I didn't wish that I was thinner, but honestly... if I really wanted to be thin THAT much, all I'd have to do would be to eat less and exercise more, and I haven't. No use whining about it, you know? In the meanwhile, I'm going to keep wearing tighter dresses and pushing myself out of my comfort zone. For so long, I tried to put myself in a box, but every day should be fun. Clothes are decoration, after all.

You look HOT! There is no way you should be worrying about your weight - you have the perfect body for this dress. It looks amazing on you! Love the bag too :)
ReplyDeleteOw ow! You look absolutely stunning, so keep on pushing that comfort zone! I completely relate with you and it's so refreshing to see a blogger who can push past body images issues and be confident in who they are, especially since we can all get stuck in those body dysmorphia ruts (it's pretty much a monthly routine for me haha). Thanks for being inspirational <3

Such a pretty outfit - as always! And, frankly, this kind of dress could never be worn by a skinny person - it needs curves!

It doesn't matter what your size is, Amber. That's not what defines you--your personality is, as cheesey as that sounds. :D No matter what, you're gonna have insecurities! I still worry about my weight even though I lost like 30 pounds... it's never gonna get any better unless you fix your mindset on it, which is hard, but I guess that takes a while. You're a confident young gal and you're beautiful, dear, so don't worry too much over silly things like that.
ReplyDeleteYour dress is gorgeous, btw. You look lovely in all black. :D

Oh I relate so much to this. Being short means I've never been as skinny as taller, leaner girls, but I'm happy. And you look so gorgeous, this dress compliments your body brilliantly. You look so very elegant and sophisticated :D

ReplyDeleteOH MY GOSH YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!! Forget the body blues, pretty lady. ALSO I wish I could pull off the dark lipstick, maybe I'll try it out today!
