Stepping outside the box without sleeves but with spunk

Hi Sweethearts!

Today I really went for it and stepped out in this sleeveless dress!

For me that is a really big deal, silly as it may sound, because I really find it so hard to do without

feeling less than attractive shall we say.

So, I felt awful to be honest, but you know me, no way am I going to let my insecurities stop me,

so I took some deep breaths and decided to get on with it.

I can`t say that I am loving my arms yet, but it sure feels good to feel the sun and breeze on my shoulders :)

Next I`ll be trying for freakles on my chubby knees LOL!

But don`t hold your breath waiting, haha :D

The outfit:

Dress, my design. I got the top at H&M yesterday, and seing as how I couldn`t afford material for the rest of the dress I sewed it on to a skirt that used to be an H&M coat before it became this dress (worn with one of my bolerodesigns)....

...with a grey top that used to be this dress:

(am reworking the skirt of this dress and will show you some other day)

I worked the newly reworked dress with

neckless, hairband and ring, Lindex

various bangles

ballerinas, Din Sko

Tell me, how do you step outside your comfort zone?
