Last Year +Alissa Wilson posted a blog entitled Breaking All The Rules. In the blog she urged
curvy girls to break down the fashion barriers and wear clothes that we've been
told our whole lives didn't look right on our shape--horizontal stripes, crop
tops, tutu’s, bikini’s, mini skirts, and even skinny jeans. Now, I've never been the type to feel
insecure about what I wore, but as I read the post I began to realize that
subconsciously I also believed that those items just didn't suite my curvy
frame.
The other day while searching Facebook, I came across a
picture of From The Rez to the City.
Her outfit was literally drop dead gorgeous!!! It took me back to the
days when I believed that curvy women couldn't wear patterns--let alone mix multiple
patterns. Unfortunately, the first
thing I said was, "I wish I could pull that look off." At that moment I instantly recalled
Stylish Curves blog. Why did I
believe I couldn't pull it off? I rushed to my nearest +Lane Bryant to find the
items she had in her picture. At
first I just wanted to try the outfit on...It was only supposed to stay in the
dressing room, but to my surprise the outfit was EVERYTHING! It looked amazing
on me as well. It was at that
moment that I realized Curvy Girls can wear anything... even mixed prints.
