Curves Around the World: Floral

Hello Lovelies!!! It's that time again for another "Curves Around the World" post!!! 
So this weeks theme is totally different from last weeks theme and it's "Floral," personally I love floral but it's really hard to find cute floral designs. Well for me anyways I can't really find a lot of floral prints that I like. But I've been loving the trend, I hope I find a really great vintage looking floral print sometime in the future. But for now I decided to do a simple floral print that I have in my closet.
So I don't know about you but I'm ready for fall because I'm tired of this warm weather plus fall is one of my favorite times of the year because I love how it cools down but it isn't too cold. So in honor of fall coming I decided to do a fall floral look instead of a bright summery one. I used this floral dress that I got a while ago from H&M and I really love it because the floral print isn't huge but it's small with lots of neutral colors. 
{dress|H&M} {top|Old Navy} {shoes|Call it Spring} {bag & necklace|Philippines} {belt|from shorts got at Target}
I decided to pair the dress with a Chambray shirt, which is a great to throw on when the weather starts to get cooler. You know I've wanted a chambray top for so long but I had such a hard time finding one that fit because I have broad shoulders from swimming so whenever I tried shirts on I it would always be too tight around my shoulder and arm area. But finally I found one that fit from Old Navy, I love that store for basics because they have a great range of sizes and they have great prices. I believe I got this shirt for less then $10, I love a great deal! 
So I've always worn this dress as a tunic over jeans or tights because I was always self conscious of just wearing it as a dress and I'm not going to lie, I'm wearing shorts under. But I would have never worn it like this, but ever since I started this blog and reading more body positive blogs I have gained a lot more confidence in myself. I feel like I can challenge myself in wearing new things or trying new ways to wear something now because I am more confident. It just takes one step at a time but once you start to love and accept yourself, you'll feel much better in anything you wear because you wont care what anyone thinks. So I challenge you to wear something you would have never worn because you didn't feel you could and tell yourself, "I look beautiful!" I think that helps a lot when you tell yourself positive things and think positive. I have told myself negative things so much before but I decided to be more positive and it's helped me so much and I find myself much happier too! 

So if you haven't told yourself today, let me tell you "You are beautiful!!!"

  3. So glad you're taking risks and learning to be more body confident. I speak from experience that this isn't easy, but like you said, it's one step at a time.

    This outfit looks great on you! It's one of my favorites, in fact! I've been hunting for a chambray shirt for no less than two years. Old Navy's version didn't work for me at all, but I think I may have found one.
