I love my body. I love my big, fat, German-Norwegian hips. And I admit it-- I have a terrible time finding flattering clothes. With this in mind, I'm starting this blog to keep track of what works for my body, fashion-wise, but also food and exercise choices.
I don't want this to be just for me though, so as I find clothes that will work for girls with curves, I'll share them, even if they don't work for me. Is far as I'm concerned, fashion advice is never caveat-free. There is no 'one true way.' No one solution will work for every pear-shaped woman; differences in proportions (waist/hip ratio, height, etc.) will make things that rock on one body perfectly horrible on another. I'll do my best to give advice for dressing truly impressive hips, as well as more mild pear shapes.
I'll be posting photos of outfits, workout routines, and maybe recipes, but I will definitely share my measurements every time I share a photo of myself or review an item-- because seriously, how frustrating is looking at pictures of clothing you love and not knowing if it will actually fit you?
So: My body, right now, is out of shape and a little squishier than it usually is. I spent my last semester reveling in my campus grocery store's decision to stock homemade ice cream. I'll post updates as I start working out properly (and the summer separates me from my ice cream!)
