The sun is just coming up over the hills this morning and
something about this outfit made me think that the best way to capture it in
photos would be a sunrise shoot.
Something about these colors says champagne sunrise to me. Not that it's easy to get up before dawn and
drive to this location. Some days I
admit, these early morning photos shoots are a race against the sun, and I'd
rather be sleeping in, but I do this for you, my fellow fashion lovers, to
create this little wardrobe zen for you.
Besides, getting up so early is worth it to be able to don this dress
for a few pics before the city wakes up and the streets fill up with cars and
chaos because it's a little zen for me too.
You already know that I'm a big fan of FemmeLuxe's Loungewear Sets, and as the days get cooler, I'm hoping that next month's FemmeLuxe
collaboration will feature some of their soft, cozy loungewear, but then again,
I adore everything from FemmeLuxe. From
jumpsuits to midi dresses like this Pink One Shoulder Slinky Midi Dress - Dylan, FemmeLuxe is one of my all
time favorite collaboration partners.
This Pink One Shoulder Slinky Midi Dress - Dylan has a lot of great style aspects going
for it that I want to discuss in this post, but of course the first thing that
caught my eye was that lovely baby pink color.
A pastel pink like this looks best on cool skin tones, but if you
don't fall into that category, don't be afraid to try it out—fashion rules are
made to be broken after all. In addition
to the color, this is a Midi Dress which is great for showing off those feminine
curves.
If you're feeling a little
hesitant at the mention of bodycon dresses, don't rule them out entirely. Instead, consider do consider using some
shape wear. I have a healthy and
practical view of my body, but I also own some shape wear because it can be a
practical way to smoothe out the lines for certain dresses (by the way, I'm not
wearing shape wear with this dress).
When I talk to women about their fashion interests and the features they
like about themselves, I hear the same negativity repeated regardless of age,
weight, height, or shape.
Often times I find that it's not so much the body that's the
problem is our own poor opinions of our bodies that hold us back. We don't need perfect bodies, just a
confidence boost and if shape wear can give you that little bump of self esteem
that it takes to step out of our comfort zones and try something new then I say
go for it and never look back.
Not to worry when it comes to being body positive. FemmeLuxe knows how to flatter a woman's
figure and if you'll notice there's a little added benefit to this particular
midi dress, it has ruching! If you're
scratching your head trying to figure out if ruching is a real word or if my
cat just walked across the keyboard, wonder no longer.
Ruching means those gathered horizontal lines
of fabric that in this dress run throughout the bodice. In general ruching can be a great way to do a
little camouflaging in trouble areas like the tummy or thighs—no shape wear
required!
Just as the sun starts filling these streets with sunlight, I
see the first few people out walking dogs or just walking and the first few
cars start rumbling by. Inevitably they
all stare as they pass. I don't mind, I
know the dress is doing all the work here because that's what a great dress can
do.
