Figure-hugging stripes

Plus size fashion | figure-hugging striped bodycon dress and pastel shoes

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.

Next pastel grey sneakers

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,

    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!
