You got a sneak peek of this outfit if you read last week’s post! When I saw this top at Nordstrom, I fell in love with the colorful pattern. I took it off the rack and saw that it was a corset style, with boning and a lace up bodice. Could I wear a corset top on a curvy body? Would it be flattering, or would it look like I squeezed myself into something made for someone smaller? I honestly wasn’t sure, but I decided to try it on. It’s definitely form-fitting, but I think the neckline and the shape of the top actually compliment my curves. Because of where it hit me, I opted for mid-rise shorts instead of my usual high-rise. And wearing shorts with my Sarah Flint wedges definitely makes my legs look longer! This outfit is a bit outside of my comfort zone, but I like it!
This weekend, we’re headed to Florida for my step-sister’s wedding. We haven’t been on an airplane since our trip to Dallas in May, which was Seth’s first flight. He’s a lot more active now, but we’re hoping he will still nap while we’re in the air.
My parents got divorced shortly after I graduated college. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through, and life hasn’t been the same since. There’s a lot about it that I won’t share publicly, but I’m happy that my relationships with my step-siblings have grown considerably in recent years, and we are excited to be part of my step-sister’s special day. Wait until you see Seth’s outfit!
