I believe in dressing fearlessly. Wearing what you want because it makes you feel great, and not avoiding certain things because society tells us that we shouldn’t wear them. Crop tops, printed pants, bikinis, double denim, stripes, bodycon, shorts… I wear all of these things. And when I began my Fat Girls Shouldn’t Wear Stripes project in 2013, I had no idea how many women were like me – dressing fearlessly regardless of their size, shape and age. So many of you want to share your style with the world, and I think that is awesome! It’s something worth celebrating.
I want you to be fearless in your fashion choices this year. I want you to celebrate your body and wear the things that make you feel great; I want to encourage you to push yourself outside your comfort zone and wear things that you didn’t think you could. To wear that bathing suit and swim at the beach. To rock the hell out of those printed pants. To wear a sleeveless shirt without covering your arms, or a skirt without leggings. What do you want to wear? How do you want to challenge yourself fashion-wise?
In 2015 I am going to continue photographing women dressing fearlessly. I’m going to travel to more parts of New Zealand (as my budget allows), so that I can share your stories and your fearless style. So far I am going to be making dates available in Auckland (January and February), Rotorua (March) and Palmerston North (May), so if you would like to be involved then stay tuned for those dates – I will announce them on my blog as soon as they are confirmed.
If you’re not in New Zealand, or just can’t wait for me to get to your town, then join me on instagram! Share your outfit photos with me using the hashtag #thisismkstyle. You will be able to search the hashtag to be inspired by other fashionable babes, and I’ll share my favourites here on the blog – because finding style inspirations is awesome, especially when they might have a similar body shape to you. I can’t wait to go on this fashion adventure with you!
Will you be fearless in your fashion choices this year?
How do you want to step out of your fashion comfort zone?
I love this!

Awesome Ann, great to have you on board x
Yay! Love your message (once again) Meagan). Would love for you to come to Christchurch is your budget allows. I wore my togs at the beach for the first time in a long time just after Christmas and I felt great, I didn’t care what anyone else thought and it was liberating! I certainly hope I can continue that throughout the year 🙂
Good on you for donning that bathing suit Charlotte! What a great opening to a year of dressing fearlessly in 2015. I can’t WAIT to come to Christchurch, it’s been at the top of my list for a long time and as soon as I can travel down I will! xo
Absolutely LOVE this post, Megan!
And yes, I will be joining you on Instagram. <3 #thisismkstyle
