There's something so inspiring and wonderful about Pinterest. On there, everything seems so bright and polished - which isn't a necessary or correct depiction of life, because I haven't seen pictures of fabulously dressed women caught in the middle of a downpour with no umbrella, ruining their suede shoes. But maybe that's the beauty of it. Everything looks so right, and if you live in the right place, or can guarantee a day with the appropriate weather, then you too, can borrow inspiration and wear something equally as fabulous. What's caught my eye so far, as I scroll through Pinterest is that of skirts, mostly midi - as showing your knees off is so two years ago, right? Unless, that is, you've got jeans with rips on the knees - a fashion staple I only recently purchased, and now find myself in love with. I feel very hip, but maybe not very much so, as I still use the word hip, and the phrase 'down with the kids'. I'm only 23, but I've never been hip, or anything of the sort when it comes to clothing. Classic or chic is what I usually go for, so wearing black ripped jeans (£24.99, here) is perhaps my most fashion forward look for some time.
Saying that, I did pair it with Navy striped Breton top from Fat Face which kind of alludes to my whole classic sense of style - it seems that even with ripped jeans, I cannot stay away from the items that do signify my style. Down with the kids, I am not - maybe with their mothers, or older siblings, though? I'm also greatly loving the look of shirts, tied at the waist with an A-line midi skirt, or even combined with a t-shirt, tucked in to give that smart, stylish but casual look - and yes, you've caught me; stripes again. I do love a good stripe. All combined with some killers heels, most of which are strappy and make the look zing, as that's what a good pair of shoes can do. It all inspires me to dress better, and attempt to look presentable, regardless of whether my figure differs from theirs, or anyone else's. Having curves and a big chest does make me shy away from pieces of clothing that people say 'No, you can't wear that. You have to be thin and tall', or even 'I don't like it on you. It's a bit tight on the hips, isn't it?'. I'm always one for honesty, but yeah, perhaps too much can be more damaging than anyone can think.
Anyway, I wanted to write a little inspiration post on what fashion, and sense of styles grab me, as I'm really thinking of adding some fashion esc posts to my blog. I don't think of myself as thin, or plus-size, so I may find myself in the middle of there and if I find myself there, surely someone else will feel the same as well? Hopefully, through some future posts, size 12/14/16 ladies won't be ashamed, or feel overlooked in terms of representation through fashion blogging.
Do you feel like your body shape/size is represented in the fashion blogging world? Is there anything that you'd like to see feature on here?
