Style It My Way Challenge {Bodycon}

This week's challenge for Style It My Way is "bodycon". I am new to the bodycon trend as I have made it a point to avoid clothing that fits tightly across my hips. I featured a recently purchased Dorothy Perkins bodycon on the blog several months back and consider it one of my most rewarding fashion experiments. This dress is not what I would really consider a bodycon, but it is fitted enough throughout the length of my body that I felt it met the needs of this challenge. 

I don't subscribe to the fashion industry's "rules" for fat women. I do, however, know what makes me feel comfortable. If you are apprehensive about trying something outside of your comfort zone, choose an element that allows you to feel comfortable while also challenging yourself. My compromise for a fitted dress was a dress that came a few inches above my knees.

 

 

I also hope you enjoy this rare picture of B-Dog in which you can actually identify his facial features. He's so dark that his face tends to come out looking like an amorphous blob. Not cute.
