Believe it or not, I have gained a lot of weight after I gave birth to Marise. I used to have a modelesque body, with a 25 waistline, and very thin arms. Now, I rarely wear sleeveless tops or dresses, unless I feel so hot, due to my flabby arms. haha! But I realized I shouldn't feel this way because I love myself now than before, I get to eat what I want without any guilt at all.
I love my curves and I love who am I now. I am such a fan of the Plump Pinays, and Honey who are both strong believers of the idea of loving your body whatever shape you have. Eh ano if I have big arms, it does not define who I am, or what kind of a person I am. Yon lang nakakainis when people say, "Oy tumaba ka" then teases you, "mag-diet ka na". Though their words are not directly harming, you know for a point what they mean. I just don't know why a lot of people is watching your waistline and make it as a basis of beauty. But anyway, we all have our own definition of beauty, but always remember that true beauty cannot be seen on the outside, but what you are in the inside.
And always remember this line from the movie Monster-in-law starred by J.Lo and Jane Fonda. (well if you've seen the movie you'll get what I mean hehe)
I'm making the dressto fit my body,not the other wayaround.
well in some case, other girls do the other way around. :) And that makes shopping for the perfect dress a difficult task. :)
floral top- online find
pants-thrifted
bag- Coconut Gold
flats- Parisian
bangles- random
You look gorgeous! Love the top so much!
