Spring is the season where you drop the heavy sweaters and winter coats. Growing up I hated spring because it meant I couldn't cover up my body with layers to hide my size! Now I own my body and every single thing I'm self conscious about I embrace. That doesn't mean there isn't ways to draw attention to the features on your body your more comfortable with. In this blog post I'll show all my lovely curvy girls how to dress for spring while enhancing our beautiful bodies.
Arms!
Because its warm tank tops and t-shirts are definitely more popular, and if you're like me your upper arms can be a kind of insecure area. My main tips for this area are:
half sleeves! these don't show off the tops of your arms where you store most of your fat and they look super classy! plus they'll keep you pretty cool!
tank tops with thicker straps! These will keep everything looking tight and make it super breezy!
Tummy!
If you're like me then this is definitely the most insecure part! In spring the crop tops start coming out and we all know that that just isn't comfortable for curvy girls with a little tummy. my personal favorite type of shirt to wear in the spring is a flowy baby doll top with a cinched waist. or a super loose casual t-shirt!
Thighs!
Shorts, the bane of our existence. I have never liked shorts ever. In my personal preference I have always opted for a comfortable flowy high waisted skirt! cinching it with a belt really shows off your waist! Never let anyone tell you you cant wear a maxi dress, Those suckers look amazing on anyone ! a maxi dress can be classy or totally casual! Also if you want to wear short but are self conscious of your thighs , cellulite, extra lovin, Try the tights approach. wear black or colored tights under your shorts. It hides any imperfections and looks pretty fashionable!
wearing jewelery! this takes attention off anything you don't want people to be looking at! Wedges are now totally acceptable because its spring! these elongate your legs making them look more toned and slim! hats! I personally love big floppy sun hats! these look good on anyone and are just super fun to wear! Its spring, you don't have to wear all blacks and neutral colors. You're supposed to wear bright colors! all that really matters is how you carry yourself and that you're comfortable and confident in your clothing! be you and be beautiful! and don't forget to smile!
A few of my Favorite Spring Outfits!
Hi, Erika! Great advice for anyone looking for spring style tips! I love that image you included under "Tummy." Beautiful top. I normally despise giant jewelry (on myself, at least; some folks can pull it off quite well), but that necklace she's wearing goes nicely with the flowing black.
