Just Wear The Dress!
What’s stopping you?? Forget the flaws at the door and put that dress of your dreams on!
Did you guys know the Macabre Glamour Gown is back in stock? Yeah! This is a beautiful gown that checks a lot of boxes for me. Black lace, double thigh slits, adjustable straps, an alluring aura to it, and so on. I personally just got this dress in the mail last week and wow. WOW! I love it! This dress also checks some boxes for me that I don’t typically wear. It has a very open back and a deep neckline. To some those are features they look for! Historically, I try to avoid those things. I have a lot of insecurity surrounding the size of my breasts and back rolls. So as excited as I was to receive this dress, I was apprehensive to put it on. Yes it’s my job to put it on, but I can still be nervous!
All this really got me thinking about fashion and the reasons we get specific pieces. A comfy pair of leggings to lounge in. A light jacket to layer over a look. A statement dress to feel empowered in. I have always wanted to feel more comfortable with my body, especially the areas I feel most insecure about. Slowly over time I’ve dipped my toes in the water of shedding strict clothing must haves to hide the parts of me I don’t like. A gown is meant to make us feel powerful. We don’t always wear a gown, right? I mean I’d love to wear them more often! We usually save them for special events that we want to dress up for. I dress up to feel powerful, to feel untouchable, to feel that surge of confidence.
When I put this dress on I felt good. Great! Really hot! Everything I’ve been hiding was out and on show in the dress. And I was still hot! Sometimes just letting go for a moment of those deep routed insecurities and melting into just existing can be hard. I don’t think anyone would even bat an eye in disapproval if they saw me in this. They would likely be more taken back at how glamorous I looked. People aren’t looking at the flaws you see everyday. They’re looking at the confident person wearing such a stunning dress! Life is weird. Life is short. Throw caution to the wind, hang the insecurities at the door, and wear the damn stunning dress! When you reflect back on moments in your life, which do you think will make you smile more? Reflecting on the times you covered up and compromised an outfit? Or when you just put on the dress?
How would you style this dress?
