Insight

I feel FAT!
there I said it.
I'm not going to sugar coat it.

These past few weeks, I've noticed the rounder cheeks, the protruding belly and the floppy arms. I've lost the enthusiasm not only for taking outfit photos but with dressing up in general.

I've never been skinny really. Even at my lightest weight, I'm still considered voluptuous/curvy. It's the thighs and legs, plus the the huge bum, I know.

I'm still in the process of acceptance. Slowly I'm learning to dress for my body and not hide every inch of it. I'm getting there...but still a few hundred steps away.That is why I was so happy to have read Honey's latest post and have discovered the The Plump Pinay. These are some amazing gorgeous ladies.

I wasn't planning on posting this. but what the heck!

The love affair with black and white stripes continues. I borrowed this jacket from my mom. If I didn't think she'll notice if it's gone, I'll claim it for my own. I love it. 

ps. This is in no way fishing for praises from anyone. I don't want to be taken as such.

    I was never a fan of the skinny. I even exert effort to look meatier because I find skinny girls quite unhealthy. But to each his own right? So I say, embrace your curves!

    I know you are not fishing for praise but I still am going to state the obvious: no way are you fat. Besides I am naturally skinny/skinny and though I've had to accept it, it's no fun being a stick girl let me tell you. Soft curves are so much nicer. That's why I buy so many ruffly voluminous clothing items to add weight to my frame. So just love you for you. Whenever I start nitpicking at things I can't change about myself I just say "whatever" and push it out of my mind.

    Instead of critiquing yourself give yourself a compliment today :) Like wow Belle, you're freaking gorgeous- b/c you are!!!!

    i adore the blazer and you're not alone. i feel fat most of the time but i'm slowly loving myself. i've read from thestylingdutchman.blogspot.com that we don't have to look perfect all the time. :)

    me thinks you're so chic and stylish.
