Today, I'm going to send a little love out to my proportions. I love that my body is pretty evenly built from head to toe. It's been a variety of sizes over the years, yet no one part has ever swelled beyond the others.
Being evenly proportioned makes dressing pretty easy. Even at 5'3", I find that I can wear a lot of different shapes - something I've been experimenting with a lot more this year. As long as I go with my curves, highlighting my waist and paying attention to hemlines, then I know it will work.
These pants are the perfect example. They're pretty much the ugliest pants you'd want to wear, but I love that kind of so-ugly-its-almost-cool vibe they have going for them when paired down with a tee and blazer. And as long as they sit on my waist and hit at my ankles, all is good.
Apparently, Iggy Pop is also a fan of proportions:
What feature will it be tomorrow? Tune in and see!
Jacket: JCP, $25 - Tee: AA, c/o Buffalo Exchange - Pants: Thrifted, $6 - Shoes: Madden Girl, $23
i'm on the same boat - hemlines and a nipped waistline are the key things i need to keep in mind.
ReplyDeleteannnd, sort of unrelated, but our pups look pretty similar (minus the hair color)! mine should have a beard, but we keep him clipped short due to the heat.

These pictures of you and Iggy are just adorable! I really love how you've played with fun shapes and silhouettes so much in the past few months!
ReplyDeleteCuuuuuute puppy!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the idea of "so ugly it's cool," although I wouldn't have described your pants that way had you not mentioned it :-)
I think its wonderful how you feel so comfortable with your body. It took me a while, but I am also comfortable with my body no matter its size. Congrats to you!
ReplyDeleteOh, and your dog is adooorable as usual!

a) Iggy is such a cutie patootie! At first glance, I thought he was wearing a sombrero in that first picture :)
ReplyDeleteb) I LOVE this outfit-- especially those pants! I didn't even think of them as 'so-ugly-they're-almost-cool' until you mentioned it-- I just thought they were cool! Just goes to show that when you put together a great outfit, all the pieces work together seamlessly without any odd ducks sticking out
c) Love those last pictures of you & your pup-- precious!

ReplyDeleteYou look casual chic as usual. Love the messy bun!
ReplyDeleteIggy has never been cuter.
ReplyDeleteAnd I envy you a figure that stays proportional! How great to be so flexible in fitting your bod. (Also envy how amazing you look in pants, but I think I've mentioned that about 98 times already.)

ReplyDeleteI need to get home and hug my puppy. Iggy is such a hammy ham!

ReplyDeleteI also have been admiring how you can wear so many things. I know your secret now, it is all about proportions. Proportions rock! I am a math teacher you know.
I have also been lucky to keep my proportions over the years.
I love the photos of you and Iggy! :)
