In no way do I think that I am fat, sure I have bumps and lumps where I'd rather not but I don't dwell on it too much. I don't mean in an arrogant way but on the whole I'm relatively happy with my figure, except for my stomach. For the past few seasons I've been able to hide my stomach underneath billowing smock tops and dresses. I even managed to avoid revealing it on the beach with the rise of the one-piece but now it seems I might have to actually do something about it. Whilst browsing H&M recently I was appalled to seen a couple of crop tops on display, in no way do I encourage anybody over the age of fifteen to wear a crop top and even then it should be worn with caution.
It reminded of several years ago when everybody was showing off their midriff, often to disastrous results. It was around the time of extremely low waisted boot-cut jeans...
The "body-con" trend is big news at the moment, so big that I'm sure you're sick of reading about it (I know I am). It featured on the catwalks way back in February but there are still only a few examples available on the High Street. It literally means body-conscious and does exactly what it says on the tin. I am petrified of wearing a tight fitting mini dress, I am going to have to do much more exercise before I even consider trying one on. It's one of those trends that you're scared of even trying on in your normal clothing size. Even though it should fit me in a size 12, I'm worried that I'll look like a WAG or worse, a wannabe WAG.
I love the Leger elastic band skirt but as soon as I have seen Victoria Beckham wearing a trend I lose interest. Maybe this is one for Brave New World?
