Curves Around the World:Blogger Inspiration

Hello my Lovely Friends!!!

So today's post is a bit late due to the fact that I haven't been feeling well but the post is up. Today's Curves Around the World post is about blogger inspiration and I have to tell you I am inspired by so many bloggers so this was hard for me to choose but I chose someone that has inspired me more then just with style. 

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.

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!!!"

Curves Around the World: Denim

Hello everyone, I hope you are all doing well. It seems like forever since I've blogged but it's been only a week because last week was so crazy with the 4th of July holiday. But yeah I'm back and it's that time again for the "Curves Around the World" themed posts. 

This weeks theme is "Denim" and I didn't want to wear jeans because it's still really hot so I wasn't feeling jeans. So I looked through my closet and saw that I have a few different denim items and decided to do double denim. I've never wore two different types of denim before because i was always told not to wear denim together. But I've seen some great outfits from other bloggers that have worn double denim. So I decided to try it myself. 

{top: FashionQ} {skirt: Old Navy} {necklace: H&M} {bag:Moms} {shoes: philippines}

So this is what I came up with, the double denim, a chambray top and a jean skirt. I wore this jean skirt in one of my other posts and you can check how i styled it here. And I know I've worn these same shoes a few times already on my blog but I really like these flats because I think they add a little flair to outfits and they are really comfy too. 

Since a few said it was nice to show the bag that I wear I thought I would show you this one up close. This bag is from my moms closet and I found it while going through her bags and let me tell you it's one of my favorite bags. I use this bag all the time, I've actually wore this bag a few times in some of my posts but have never really showed a close up of it. But yeah it's one of those bucket bags that ties on the top and you can tell it's pretty worn out because I wear it so much. But I think it's a great color and I feel like it matches with everything. My mom doesn't even know where she got this bag but she told me that she got it back in the 70's, so i guess you can say that this bag is vintage! 

Above is a close up of my necklace, I got it a few years ago when I went to San Francisco on a trip with my friends. I feel in love with this necklace right when I saw it but I actually haven't worn it a lot because I didn't really know how to style it. But when I tried it with this top I thought it looked good together. What do you guys think? Does it look ok with this top?  

I got this chambray top recently from a store called Fashion Q at a mall near my aunts house in the Valley and I was so excited because half the store was plus sized. I have the same store at the mall by my house but it doesn't carry plus size clothing, so I was excited to see a new store for plus size clothing plus it was really cheap. This top was only $10, it was such a great deal. I own a chambray button up but it's too hot to wear that so when I saw this I knew it would be perfect for summer because it was sleeveless, so it's easier to wear in the summer. I really like how it's a shirt that ties at the bottom, I've seen a lot shirts that tie at different stores but I could never find one that fit me, so I'm happy I found this one. This top fits well but the boob area likes to bust open once in awhile, I don't know if any of you have that same problem but what I like to do is put a safety pin behind the buttons to help it stay closed.

What do you think about my double denim look? 

Would you wear double denim?
