Leatherette

Before I start, I would like to say I was hesitant about posting these photos because I felt like they weren’t “worthy” for the blog because I am wearing a crop top. I’ve never been a small body type nor would I ever want to be. I am very confident in my skin and I hate it when girls that are not skinny don’t appreciate themselves. It took me some time to learn that everyone is beautiful no matter what size they are. Blogging has really helped me come out of my shell and has taught me so much. So here you go, here are some photos I posed for in a crop top.

I bought these Amazing shorts during the summer at the Pasadena Flea Market because they reminded me of a pair Zara had but without the big price tag. The weather here in Los Angeles has been playing with our emotions, but the camel color is definitely a must have for the fall. These shorts will definitely be spotted on the blog again but maybe with a jacket or some tights.

I really hope that this blog post gets some of my fellow bloggers to change their mentality or help someone realize that they are beautiful no matter what society thinks of them.

I will admit, that I was very intimidated to wear  leather shorts…actually leather anything! I always felt like if I didn’t wear them correctly I was going to look like a beat up biker babe or some crazy dominatrix person. The only kind of leather I would attempt to wear was a leather jacket or vest until my friend Angela convinced me to go out and buy some faux leather shorts.

 That said, I practically lived in these leather shorts this summer and will continue to over use them this fall and winter.  Not only are they trendy, they can be dressed up or down which is extremely important for a person like me who is always on the go.

Since then, I’ve been paring these shorts with everything! Dressed up with heels and blazer and dressed down with tee shirts and flats. In my advice, I suggest you keep it minimal with one pop of color  in your top or a bold necklace or even bold lips. I kept this outfit simple with nude heels and a bold lip.

  I decided to pair this beautiful floral print blazer with a simple black and white ensemble. I have been contemplating on this bustier trend with a skirt because of my body type but I decided to just go with it. When I put outfits together, I experiment with prints and trends to match my body type.

  
I fell in love with these heels from Lola Shoetique because they are identical to the heels from Zara but at half the price. I decided keep it simple and accessorize a gold necklace to compliment the gold detail on the heel.

Did anyone notice my tattoos? There are always stories behind tattoos and I will share mine with you. Jesal and I have matching tattoos on our shoulder of our birthdays. The ink was not to prove anything to anyone, just to show each other our love for one another. I also have a green elephant on my right wrist to represent my grandmother who has already passed away.  She believed elephants bring good luck and she used to collect them and decorated her home with them. It is a beautiful memory I will always hold in my heart. 

Thank you for letting me share that with you all and I hope that you all liked my outfit as much as I did.
