In my post last week on failure and rejection, I talked about how hard it can be for me to post style photos on the blog. That is not because I don't like style - I think it is precisely because I do love fashion and style and putting outfits together that it is difficult for me. I want you all to like me! I want to be accepted, and seen for who I really am. I'm sure that is a familiar feeling. I know I'm not the only one who thinks about this stuff.
When it comes to body image, I've really struggled in the past. But this last year has been so healing for me, and though I am on a long road to health, I have come to learn that I can love myself as I am now. When I find myself doubting, I just say outloud "I am fine, just the way I am." It always makes me think of Bridget Jones and Mark Darcy, which is even better.
I love that this outfit boasts bright color and crazy patterns. I don't hesitate in rocking this stuff. It's a part of me to be bold.
Now I'm going to go make some blue string soup with orange marmalade.
Outfit Details:
Tee: Bordeaux Duo Colorblocked Top

I love that you're comfortable in loud colors and patterns--those are some of my favorite things to wear!
ReplyDeleteYeah, you've just gotta rock it! I've never really been uncomfortable wearing bright colors or bold patterns. I just go with it! And I love that you do, too!
DeleteI love how bold this is! And how comfy that shirt looks - I think I need to get my hands on one of those...
ReplyDeleteAnne, you would love that top. It is so comfy. I have two of them, and counting. They have them in tons of colors, including a minty blue-green color that would look great on you!
DeleteI absolutely LOVE that top! I'm really into the colour (though I reckon it's more of a peachy orange than a bordeaux). I've been using that colour a lot in my recent painting (I'm no artist but I love playing around with paint and colours)!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid to wear patterned trousers, so kudos for daring! I've been wearing more and more brightly coloured trousers recently to try and change my style a bit..or at least find my style I don't feel as if I've gotten there yet, but you definately seem to be acing it!Don't be afraid to post photos! I think you're awesome and brave for daring! Have a lovely day (or night because I'm not sure of the time difference!) Bella xx
It's such a great top! The brand that makes the shirt is actually called Bordeaux. You're right, the shirt is more of a coral-orangey color. It's from Anthropologie, and it is so unbelievably comfortable. I didn't think that I could wear patterned pants either, but when I put them on in the dressing room, I totally fell in love! Definitely give them a shot. Bright colored pants is a great way to start! I find that the key to rockin' bold trends is just to go with it! Rock it!
DeleteI love everything about this outfit, but that colorblocked top? OMG.
ReplyDeleteyou're just so beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, that is so nice! Thank you! And I am so glad to see that you are following the blog. Hope to see you around more soon :)
Deleteyou look great, that coral color is fantastic on you! hope you continue to do style posts!
ReplyDeleteAnne, you are absolutely gorgeous! Those pants are fantastic, I love the mix of that print with the top. I need more color-blocked items in my wardrobe!
