Curves Around the World: Shirt Dress

Hello Lovelies!!!
So you see the banner above that mean's it's time for another "Curve's Around the World" theme! I know I'm a little late this week but it's because I feel asleep when I got home but it's here! :) So this week's theme is as you see from the title, "Shirt dress!"

So when I leaned it was shirt dress, I wasn't sure what to wear because I only own one shirt dress and I've worn it for a theme before, the one where we recreated a look from another one of the girls from the group. (Check it out here) So I thought that I should just re-create my shirt dress and wear it a different way. So I decided to wear it open and over my a simple outfit. 
{Shirt dress:Old Navy} {Top:H&M} {Short:Forever21+} {Shoes:Ross}
So originally I was going to wear it with a dress underneath and I thought it would be cute but I wanted to wear something more casual since most of my outfits that I post are a little more dressed up. Plus it's really hot here in California right now, yesterday it was 100 degrees and today it's 100 degrees again. So I wanted to wear shorts and a simple tee. What do you wear when the weather is hot? 
Last time I wore shorts I got so many comments about my legs and it really surprised me because I really used to hate my legs so much. I used to get teased from my family that I had really big legs and it was because I was a swimmer so my calves are really big and haven't gone away. I also have a lot of scares on my legs from bug bites from when I was little. It took me a really long time to not hate my legs. And actually I only started to wear shorts last year because I used to be so self conscious of my legs. But I told myself that I should love myself, flaws and all and embrace them because there is no time like the present to love yourself. Plus it's way too hot here in California to not wear shorts. So I encourage you if there's something you don't love about yourself, embrace it and love it because it's yours! 
Thanks for reading! I would love to hear how do you feel about shirt dresses? and if you do How do you like to wear them?

  3. Cute casual look! I love long denim shorts and dresses of all sorts in hot weather.

    I have disliked my arms for years, but for the last year or so, I've been forcing myself to get over it and bare my arms. When the weather is hot, there are worse things than flabby arms! :-)

  4. I really appreciate that you took such a creative approach to this challenge, and I always like reading people's explanations of how and why they put together a particular look. Temperatures have been skyrocketing in Nashville lately, too. My fashion definitely suffers in the hotter months. I'll try to keep it together a bit better this year. lol I typically throw layering out the window, along with heavy accessories and hairstyles where I wear my hair down. Oh, and I usually resort to bare minimum makeup, but I've been having lots of fun playing with new makeup these past few weeks, so hopefully now that I'm in the habit, I'll keep up my routine through the summer. I've also been getting a bit gutsier with wearing sleeveless tops, so maybe this will be the summer where I bare my arms, instead of like previous summers where I continually re-wear my same sleeved dresses over and over again.

    1. Awww thanks Liz, I'm happy you like reading my explanation. I feel you with the hotter weather I don't really wear makeup just simple and I always wear my hair up. But yeah I think you can do it and bare those arms, especially during those hot days! :)
