I know that other parts of the country are already seeing temperatures of 80 degrees and up, but in Chicago, it is just about time to pull out the “almost summer” clothes. For me, that means I am lusting after maxi skirts and crop tops.
However, as summer approaches and I think about finding skirts, dresses, and shorts that fit me well and show off my curves instead of mask them, I cringe. My curvy insecurities always get the best of me during the warmer months as I am reminded that cute crop tops were not made for me, and neither were those distressed denim shorts I am obsessed with. However, this summer I am taking a stand. I’m going to wear crop tops, a cute bikini, and whatever else I want. And every curvy girl should follow suit with confidence!
This gray maxi skirt is one of my favorite pieces in my closet right now. The material is so soft and fits every curve just right. The slit on the side of this maxi accentuates my shape and also gives me a chance to show off my Franco Sarto sandals.
I wore this shirt from Forever 21 to Chicago Fashion Week last Fall and I have not been able to wear it much because of the weather, but I am looking forward to creating a plethora of cute summer looks with it.
However, warm weather is not the only thing on my mind. I will be graduating in a little over one week. This weekend I will be moving into my new apartment, and finalizing my post-graduation plans. So check back for hot outfits and stories about a girl on her grind!
