Recently, my Mum gifted me a book entitled Emotional Bullshit (yeah, she’s awesome). This book was veeery helpful in illuminating some of my delusional thoughts; namely, that I’m pin-thin.
As a kid, I played sports constantly, ate whatever I wanted, and looked anorexic. I literally have mortifyingly embarrassing flashbacks to strutting around the beach in my highly covetable black and green Speedo one-piece thinking, “Yeaah, look how thin I am!!” (Yes, I was an obnoxious child.) Then I hit my twenties and my half-Greek genes kicked in. Translation? The Gods suddenly bestowed me with boobs, a butt, and mother-bearing hips. And no matter how often I attack my yoga mike, or only eat vegan, my curves won’t budge.
Soo, rather than lamenting that I can no longer fit into a size 0 (which I spent much of last year doing), this year I’m going to embrace what I’ve got and wear curve hugging ensembles.
To that end, I added this grey Étoile Isabel Marant dress to my clothing collection. Soak it up, because me donning a dress is a serious rarity.
I paired it with Isabel Marant’s Dicker boots (because I can’t get enough of her), Tory Burch earrings, and a thrifted bracelet.
