Hey curvy girls,
Yesterday, I spent my entire lunch break in H&M. Normally, I have to restrict myself from going into H&M because I always find something that I like. Due to the clothes being super affordable I start to grab up everything in site. Yes, I am the girl on the fitting room line with 20 pieces in my hand. Now that they’ve changed how many pieces you can bring into the fitting room before having to get back on line again, I have been able to slightly control myself. While perusing the racks and racks of floral dresses and oversized tops, I came across this black side laced belted shirt. As you all know, I love anything belted, which is what drew me to the top in the first place. I also adored the lace detailing on the side which gave the top more of a romantic look. I had to go down 2 sizes because the top offered plenty of room (love H&M for their forgiving cuts).
Whenever I purchase something new, I have to take it home and try it on with everything to see what I’m working with. I decided to wear the top with an animal print skirt I bought from Faith 21 online earlier this year. I had been looking for the perfect top to go with this skirt for awhile (I didn’t want to play it safe with a blazer) and I really liked how both pieces looked together. The top gives a romantic feel while the skirt gives off a sexy vibe.
Confidence Takeaway-Don’t be afraid of mini skirts even if you carry most of your weight in the lower half of your body (like me). Since the mini is showing of your legs and part of your thighs, then choose a shirt that covers up your top half in a feminine way. Let your legs be the life of the party this time around.
P.S. In case you were wondering (due to the background in the picture), no, I did not go to work like this. This is for after work.

This animal loving print looks fabulous on you. I must say you wear it so well, I am almost persuaded to step out a little further in the fashion world, thanks to you.
I am not one to try a lot of fashion items because of my plus size, I am traditional with the type of clothes I wear. You are making me enlarge my thought territory and making me more at ease with certain fashion types when I see them on you.
Thanks for all you share with us in fashion, it is putting in open view the many things we could fashionably try and not feel uncomfortable.
I love love LOVE that skirt. Definitely a great overall look!
You look great. I love thr skirt. Work!
So pretty.
OOooOoOo girl! u betta worrrkkk that animal print! LOVE this!
i’m feeling the whole outfit. good look! which h&m do you go to? the larger sizes are always gone by the time i make it to the one up in harlem. and i am usually too overwhelmed and annoyed by the number of people at the one on 34th. st.
Thanks everyone for your kind comments.
@Asha-LOL, I shop at the 34th street H&M. Only because I seem to always find my size. It can get crazy in there, which is why I shop at 9am when they open. Yes, I am the annoying customer banging at the door at 9:01, telling them to open up. LOL!
Alissa, your outfit is so daringly rock-starish yet sophisticated. I simply love the skirt with the bare leg and peep toe shoes. Top notch pick for drinks with friends or date night!
