Purlesque selfacceptance

Hi Sweethearts!

What do you get if you mix delicious purple and.....

.. over the top burlesque?

Honey, let me tell you,

 mixed right it gets you one of my fashion heroes: the iconic style icon Dita von Teese!

This woman is fierce!

I love her style, which to me is all about embracing your curves and not apologizing for showing them of! Now there`s a recipe for exuberance and fun! (Yes, AND sex ;) )

As far as I am concerned this life is all about accepting ourselves and giving everything the best we`ve got, and I am happy to tell you that after I stopped coming down hard on my self

(such hard work, totally worth it) my life and acheivments have soared.

In terms of fashion that has opened me up to loving my shape, educating my self on what silouettes best show off my assets and downplay my flaws

( all though my husbond -bless him- insists that every part of me is beautiful, but of course this may be an example of his wisdom seing as how he has to (gets to) live with me ;) ).

More than anything this style-voyage has helped me travel into previously unchartered territory:

COLOUR!

Let`s just say I have arrived!!

Wearing colour helps me feel aaaaall woman, and I love it.

Tell me, what are your fave colours and how do you feel wearing them?
