Breaking Myths With Afamado

I personally think there has been so much rue about what a Fat girl shouldn’t wear but time and again and we a plus size community have been trying to break the shell. It’s honestly very heartbreaking to see that as a community whose very members are we, levy such rules upon what to wear and what not to wear! The dress custom made by me defies all the rules that as plus size woman I’m supposed to be following.

The dress has my favorite trend off shoulder, a cinched waist, and a slit. I don’t want to be a hero but just normal person who wants to exists and do her own thing, eat what she likes, dress up as she likes and be  in this community just as anybody else.

One of the biggest style trends to emerge from  the very beginning  of summer 2016, without a doubt,  the off shoulder trend- is also  known by the name“Bardot  .” As a curvy girl, I remember baring my shoulders felt like a throwback to another time(being a vintage pinup fam), but also felt more comfortable sporting this trend.

To me these styles are flirty and the appeal lies in the fact that we can show skin but you got your upper arms covered. And that is a complete summer win for me. For colder weather, I would wear it with a button up plain shirt with prominent collars. 

You have seen me embrace the trend quite a few number of times on the blog.

It’s not hard to wear off-the-shoulder dresses – they make a statement on their own hence they really don’t need much else.

For this blog post, I have a beautiful geometrical print dress from Afamado. The dress is an off shoulder baby in Non stretch rayon woven fabric that can be either worn cinched or loose. The elastic on the shoulder and neck line enable a better fit. The dress was customized to my size and preference and that is what I loved about Afamado that ensures that each of its garment is made to the customers sizing’s.

For me my biggest accessory thanks to Sanky has become my Hair. We made it fun with tight curls. I have paired the dress with my pastel drop earrings from ALDO and block heels from Truffle Collection.

I really like the pop of color and the patterns of the dress. You can check out their curvy collection HERE and honestly these are all the dresses I would genuinely want to wear catering to different occasions.

Bare Minimum

Keeping my skin bare for an outfit post -well at least one that's well planned doesn't really come naturally to me. When I take a look at an ensemble or a single piece I think about the very first look I had to want to put together with that piece. Everything from the color of my eyeshadow to the heels and the nail paint is automatically fed fast by my brain and securely recorded/The hairstyle being most unpredictable one and mostly dependent on Sanky's mood really! The second thought is how many times can I repeat this piece (honestly even if I get two wears out of it Iw ould buy it)Considering the limited choice it very hard to come across something that I had really want to wear more than twice.

For this blogpost It really got me thinking what if I don't really paint my face for once and look at what reactions I would get. By the end of the shoot and post editing it al boiled down to more pondering as to how vulnerable I actually felt. Mid shoot I had started to apply a lip tint all over my eye and lips-yes LIP TINT! I wasn't too happy with the fringes  Sanky curled for my bangs this time and that could be seen! It isn't really until you get to the most uncomfortable zone, you don't understand the importance of your own being. I really want to be able to go bare face and not feel conscious about it.Is till do-it's a process I know I'm working on it and will get there in time. As for my makeup lovers out there, I'm really going to stop wearing makeup! It's not a need for me but a creative outlet -that's initially the first things I did to make myself feel more ME. I would ponder 100 times before posting the pictures, eventually when I got the love from you guys only then I had the confidence to really do my first outfit post. I know the whole process is long and vicious of self-love when there's a whole army sitting at your doorstep, asking you to stop being yourself.

For my post, I chose to wear this beautiful number speaking vintage flora-fauna power to me. I was extremely excited about the new heels I bought to well wear with everything. The block heels make it so comfortable for me to walk in. Usually, after the shoot day I'm really happy to do away with the heels well that's not the case with this one. I wore this even to the sandy beach for our next location!

The floral number is a perfect button down dress when you had like t be really effortless minus the effort really. Think about pairing this with headscarves and bandanas for that summer brunch look or wear it over culottes to open the first few button with pointy heels for Friday casual to work. The viscose fabric makes it a delight for summer and monsoons-easy for our working ladies alike!
