Curves Around the World: Bombshell

HELLO BEAUTIES!!!
Happy Hump day, were half way to the weekend! I hope everyone is having a great week so far.
Well it's that time of the week again for another "Curves Around the World" post and this week's theme is "Bombshell." So the definition of bombshell is a very attractive person or a "sex symbol" and let me tell you I don't think of myself as a "Bombshell" at all. I have had a long journey to loving myself and my body but I'm not at the level to really think of myself as a "Bombshell," but hopefully I'll get to that level of confidence where I can call myself that. So you could imagine I was having a hard time deciding what to wear, I actually took pictures and didn't like how they came out and I ended up changing it up afterwards. 
So what I ended up wearing was my Vegas dress, if you read my last CATW post you know I went to Vegas and this is one of the dresses I wore. I really like this dress because it's red and black and I like how its ruched. The dress is actually a lot longer passed my knee but I had my mom make it a few inches shorter to make it more Vegas appropriate dress. Actually to make it more Vegas it probably needs to be shorten more but this is a comfortable length for me. You know how hard it was to find a Vegas appropriate dress, all the dresses I saw were ones that are very flowy and covered up. I actually couldn't find a dress so I wore this one that I already had, but I love this dress so it was ok.

So I decided to wear my blazer with the dress because when I think of "Bombshell" I think of powerful women and my blazer makes me feel more powerful for some reason. But also because I think to be a "Bombshell" you don't need to show lots of skin and the blazer just made the dress more appropriate for the day and made me feel more comfortable with it on. 
I did my makeup for today's post too, I usually wear makeup but I wore a little more because makeup makes me feel more of a "Bombshell" but when I look at my pictures you can't really tell much. But I telling you I really am wearing more, I need to learn how to do my makeup better. I watch so many tutorials on youtube but I'm still not very good with makeup. Anyone have any suggestions or youtube channels you can recommend for makeup? :) 

So what do you think of "Bombshell" or what makes you feel like "Bombshell"?

  2. You look gorgeous! The dress looks great on you and is very bombshell! It was a perfect choice for this theme. Blazers make me feel powerful too...I think that's why I wear so many of them!!

  4. You look great. That dress is the perfect length to show off your stems; very sexy, but still classy. I feel exactly the same way about blazers, they're a little empowering. Do they make you feel more "put together" as well?

  5. I really like your take on bombshell, especially when you said you think of a powerful woman, not just a sexy woman who exposes a lot of skin. I think this look definitely has sexy appeal, but it doesn't feel too flashy or risque. I never really think of myself as a bombshell, either. Cute, sure. Fun, sure. But I never feel like a glamazon. We're going to a pin-up party at a club this weekend, and you're supposed to arrive in costume. I keep going through my closet trying to think of looks that have that vintage pin-up/sex pot vibe. Wish me luck! lol

    1. Thanks Liz and I'm sure you will look great in whatever you choose and I think there can be a cute pinup. We actually had pinup as a theme but a lot of us were having trouble so we decided on vintage instead. Be sure to take pictures, I would love to see what you came up with! :)
