I don’t really ‘do’ swimsuit shoots, but as I’m making myself more and more vulnerable, I say: why not?
Over at Fashion Bomb Daily, I wrote a post about celebrating all different body types in the Fashion Industry, so…I went ahead and put my self out there for the world to see (scary!).
I’m not skinny. Never have been. Don’t really want to be. As I’ve gotten older, my metabolism has definitely slowed down, so now I have to be more conscious about what I eat, how much I work out, etc. I’m doing my best! In the meantime, I hope I can stand as just one example of a woman who is not your ‘typical fashion girl‘ who happens to be (slightly) stylish as well.
I think it’s also important to get ‘real’ about bodies. Celebs are all a bit cookie cutter, no? Women in the real world are apples, inverted triangles, hourglass, and more. And I hope to represent that here and on my better half, Fashion Bomb Daily.
I hope you enjoy. And by the way..I love this swimsuit!
If you do, too, get it here.
