2014 has been my year of dressing fearlessly. Prints, LOTS of colour, stripes, bodycon … striped bodycon! I’ve become more comfortable with my body over the last year than I have ever been before, and I’m loving it.
Fashion is all about celebrating your own fabulousness, so I really hope that you have been embracing your own fabulous side and dressing fearlessly. Stuff what anyone else thinks, wear things that make you feel great.
This year I bought my first ever bodycon dress from 17 Sundays, a long sleeved blue dress, and I wore it on the blog without shapewear and with VBO. And then I saw this figure-hugging dress – stripes and bodycon – two things that as a fat woman I am told that I shouldn’t wear. Eff that! Of course, I bought it immediately.
I dress it up, I dress it down … I could seriously wear this dress every day (but I don’t, because all of the other dresses in my wardrobe might get jealous. And also, who wants to do laundry every day?).
Why do I love it? Well, not only do I think it looks great on me, it also makes me feel great. It emphasises my curves, it puts a little wiggle in my walk, and I honestly feel like a million bucks in it.
While I’m not usually a pastel babe, I’ve recently bought these grey sneakers (does grey count as pastel? Let’s just say it does) and I’m a bit besotted with them. They are the perfect casual summer shoe, and are super comfortable. I’m going to be wearing them a heck of a lot over the next few months – I love finding such a good pair of shoes!
Have you been pushing your fashion boundaries this year? Found an item of clothing that makes you feel fabulous? Tell me about it!
Dress fearlessly,
Meagan wears:
Bodycon dress from 17 Sundays
Next baseball pumps from EziBuy
Cat eye sunglasses from Max (previous season)
Ohh! I love that dress! I have a black and white striped bodycon dress that is great, but the stripes are a lot thicker, I love the width of these!
Alllll of the stripes! I saw this on Jenna from Hello Relax and HAD to get it. I’m so glad I did, it’s too too perfect! xo
You are such a great role model Meagan! Very brave too!
As for grey being a pastel… I dont think it is but in this case in can be but only because you are awesome!!!
I need a T shirt dress in my life pronto.
