As with lots of people I have struggled with my body image. I have had personal struggles with being too thin and now being at the heaviest I have ever been. I am not a size 2 or 4 but rather in the
range of 6-10, and I have finally accepted that my body is just that "MY BODY". Instead of focusing on the things I dislike I have started focusing on the things I love. Instead of criticizing myself or areas of my body, I look for ways to either flatter or help improve those areas.
My ideal image of myself is still a work in progress, and I still have days where I throw everything into a pile on the floor saying I have nothing to wear. But my good days out number the bad. Dresses are definitely my comfort zone, because let's be honest they are easy and can really hide a lot. Thats why this outfit that is a far cry from a dress is so exciting to me. It is out of my norm but it totally makes me feel awesome, even though it shows the areas of my body I dislike the most.
Isn't it weird how powerful clothing can be? A simple garment can transform your entire attitude and change the way you carry yourself. So for me instead of hiding my arms and thighs I decided to flaunt them with fitted jeans and a sleeveless top. I was actually surprised how confident I felt. Maybe its because I have been going to the gym 4 days a week and eating right or maybe its because I quit caring what others would think about my not so perfect body, because chances are I am going to be way harder on myself than an outsider.
I guess the point I am trying to make is be confident in being you! I know somedays are harder than others, but I guarantee you that even the most perfect of specimens have their insecurities!
I hope you have a wonderful Monday! Let's start this week off right with the cutest most affordable tassel top that is not to be missed!
