Having curves, especially a larger bust, often leads me to automatically choose conservative options.  I noticed recently that most of my fancier frocks are ‘cute’ and to be quite honest, rather ordinary.  This year though, as I’m now in my *cough* late twenties *cough* and becoming even more comfortable in my skin, I decided to go BOLD.  It’s no longer my prerogative to hide my curves or apologize for showing them off.

  My pal Jen and I went straight to Barefoot Contessa (my favourite local boutique) to find something to wear to our upcoming Christmas parties.  In search of a not so boring option, I found this stunner.  I would normally skip over anything in a store that would produce even the slightest bit of cleavage or that is too tight fitting, but this time around, I decided not to care.  I rocked this gorgeous number to Adam’s Christmas party and felt like an absolute bombshell.  And you know what?  No regrets!

Am I the only girl with curve that feels this way?  That I need to hide my figure as to not “offend” those around me?  We need to change this mindset – now who’s with me?!

P.S. Barefoot Contessa still has this dress in a navy colour, in case any of you local bombshells are interested! xoxo

    Great post, Alicia.

    I so admire the mission to embrace one's curves … although I'm still not comfortable showing off my chest. High-necked items it is for me—for now. 😛
