Pleats, please

The best thing about warmer weather is the ability to wear flowy dresses, right? They are so easy, so comfortable and perfect for the season. Pleats were a big trend for Fall and Winter with leather pleated skirts and pleated tops but this dress has taken a new approach by continuing the trend and incorporating lighter fabrics suitable for Spring and Summer (not to mention the color is divine!).

The original dress does not come belted but because I have a wider frame, I felt that I needed something to define my waist. Dresses that flow away from the body can be tricky. It has to be the right cut and style otherwise it will appear as though your frame is wider than it actually is (and no one wants that!). Adding a skinny belt that does not overwhelm the outfit can be all you need to complete your look!

Dress: H&M (sold out online) | Bag: Zara | Shoes: Fergalicious

    Love the dress, pleats are very trendy. The colour looks great on you. Love that you added the skinny belt and I also adore your sandals.

Unfortunately pieces in this look are old. Boots are from @nadiaaboulhosn x @fashiontofigure collection that sold out. I link similar sweater dresses in the link in my bio and the same hat in a different color 🖤

Life is simply too short to not embrace your own amazing journey.

Connecting mind, body and spirit by doing a little beach yoga in this @lululemon gear and yoga mat. I’m awful at yoga if I’m being real. But I’m trying to do new things and allow my body to surprise me with its capabilities. Check out links to these items in my stories! @shopstyle #thesweatlife

These are just a fraction of the comments that I see. And while some of these are made in jest, your words and thoughts have so much power. You are not shaped like a (insert object). You are a person. And I don’t want to see this language anymore. K? Love ya!

I saw this quote and it stopped me in my tracks. Sometimes we get so caught up in our day-to-day or obsessing over things we don’t like about ourselves. In 2021, I’m challenging all of us (including myself) to think higher, think bigger. Our lives are so much more vast and meaningful than we imagine. Be the ocean...

We are in a brand new year and with that comes a “New Year, New You” mentality. And there is nothing wrong with setting goals for changes you want to make in your life, from your body to your daily habits. Just remember that it’s a marathon, not a sprint and to practice grace & kindness throughout.
