"I intend to accept my body today, Love my body tomorrow
and appreciate my body always! (no matter what size)"
Hey Friends! So today was a warm day here in California. So i decided to wear a nice flowy dress and to be honest this isn't my complete outfit. I actually wore the jean jacket i wore in my last outfit post but i decided since i wore that in the last post i would take a picture without it on. Which brings me to the quote above, I have always been uncomfortable with showing my arms. But I have been inspired by so many body acceptance blogs and things I've read on the web that i decided I shouldn't be ashamed of my body and just let my arms show. So this summer i'm going to start showing off my arms and not wear long sleeve jackets when it's 100 degrees outside. But of coarse i gotta start off slowly and this is my first step! :)
So my dress has a little story and it goes like this, I used to see nice printed hi-low dresses at forever 21 but they never had them in the plus sized line and I don't fit in the regular forever 21 line. So I looked at other places and I could only find plain hi-low dresses in single colors and no prints. So I decided to make my own and this is the result, a tribal print hi-low dress. Its kinda big so that's why I put a belt, and i got the belt from a friend. Well that's my outfit of the day! I hope you're all having a wonderful day! ~ Nina
Love your dress! Forever 21+ has some high-low dresses now.
ReplyDeleteI completely understand what you are saying about showing arms. I have had a hard time feeling comfortable with the same; however, lately, I am just coming to terms with my body. My arms may not be my best feature, but it's no reason not to stay cool or not to go sleeveless!
Just started following you. Would love for you to do the same! :-)

Thanks for following me cassie, I follow you already! :) I agree my arms aren't my best feature but it's not a reason to hide it. :)
