Embracing My Unique Style: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Fashion

From my earliest years, I've been conscious of my body shape, often feeling uncomfortable in my skin due to my non-conventional proportions. As a woman with broad shoulders, a generous bust, a wide waistline, a flat backside and little to no hips, finding outfits that flatter my figure has been a journey of trial and error. However, over the years, I've learned to embrace my unique body shape and develop a fashion sense that not only suits me but also earns compliments and admiration. 

Embracing My Body Shape

But here's the thing: somewhere along the way, I flipped the script. Instead of letting my clothes dictate how I felt, I decided to take charge and learn how to style them. It wasn't about squeezing myself into the latest trends, but about understanding what worked for my unique shape. In this blog post, I'll share my fashion journey, style tips, and how I've learned to feel confident and comfortable in my own skin.

The Power of Styling

Trial and error became my best friend. While body con dresses and strapless tops might not be the best choices for my body type, I've discovered universal pieces that flatter my figure and suit my style discovered a love for universal pieces that could be mixed and matched to create endless looks. Flowy flair skirts became a staple, their movement adding a touch of whimsy. Belts cinched my waist and defined my silhouette. Off-the-shoulder tops and classic V-necks elongated my torso and flattered my bustline. High-waisted pants were a game-changer, balancing out my proportions and giving my legs a statuesque look. When I wanted to add a touch of polish, a tailored blazer became my go-to. Feeling bold? Palazzo trousers provided a dramatic and effortlessly stylish statement.

Black outfits hold a special place in my heart – they're sleek, sophisticated, and incredibly versatile. But don't get me wrong, I love playing with color and patterns too! I'm all about mixing things up – a gown paired with a daring skirt or a pair of trousers for a unique twist. There was even a time I wore two different skirts together to create a show-stopping look.

The Art of Makeup

Despite my newfound confidence in my style, you'd hardly ever catch me in a full-body picture, especially alone. I'm the undisputed queen of the selfie. I love capturing close-ups that showcase my outfit details and makeup. Speaking of makeup, mastering the art became an extension of my style journey. While some are blessed with perfectly symmetrical features, I learned to embrace mine. Highlighting my hooded eyes and wielding a bold lipstick became tools for empowerment and self-expression.

Rocking My Natural Hair and Wigs

But the look wouldn't be complete without the perfect hairstyle. I've become adept at rocking my natural hair and even mastered the art of a basic wig install. These little skills are essential in today's age and time, and mastering them has added another layer to my fashion journey.

A Journey of Self-Discovery

With all of these elements working together, I finally step out the door feeling comfortable, confident, and ready to take on the world. And let's just say, I do turn a few heads and get complimented along the way. But while I've learned to embrace my unique style and body shape, there's still room for growth and self-acceptance. Taking full pictures of myself remains a challenge, but I'm working on breaking that barrier and embracing every part of myself.
