This is my first pair of white pants, purchased a few months ago from The Gap when I was on my Gap kick. I was always afraid that white pants would be too see through and/or not very figure flattering for those of us with curves. But this pair doesn’t have any of those issues. And I must say, it is nice to have a pair of white pants to throw into the mix for summer. 

When I wear high-waisted pants I’ll usually try to have a boxy crop top or else wear something tighter on top to accentuate the waist. One thing I’ve been doing a lot this Spring and Summer is actually to layer a button up over a tank but criss-cross the two sides as you tuck it in. This gives the top a nice blousey look and further accentuates the waist. 

I particularly like to style my button-up like this when I wear a really big necklace that I want to show off. Here I’m actually wearing two necklaces to create the full necklace effect.

Have a badass 2015!

A few weeks ago, as I was walking back to my office from getting a coffee I had a realization that I was wearing an “outfit”, that I had a “look”, and that I felt awesome! I’m not a supremely self-confident person on a regular basis, so I actually like to stop and acknowledge moments in my life when I DO feel good about myself. This particular moment really solidified for me the notion that fashion, styling, and creative self-expression can sometimes be the most powerful tool for us to develop our most confident and successful selves. When the clothes that you wear are making you feel your best, you can take the mental space that was making you feel fat or self-conscious or [insert your perceived flaw here] and focus on other things that you REALLY want to be thinking about. So, yes, I believe that the clothes do make the wo/man 

One of the main reasons I finally started posting content a few months ago (after nearly 10 years of false starts) was precisely because I was at a low point and felt like I just needed some accountability to dress better and be better. The supporting goal in making that statement was to help other people find their best, most badass selves that will make them kill it every day. I’m looking forward to the chance to connect with more people in 2015 and go on this journey together. 

Here’s hoping everyone has an extremely badass 2015!
