Currently listening to Lagbaja – Konkon below
Am I the only one that has reservations when it comes to bodycon dresses but really love them at the same time? Just me? Oh I see you saying ‘me too’, don’t worry I’ve got a solution for us both.
I snagged this lovely bodycon dress off my friends wardrobe simply because when I tried it on I loved how good my derrière looked in it even tho I know I might never wear it out of my house as its not only the fact that it’s a body con dress that’s the problem but it’s a cami bodycon dress. Anyway I found the perfect way to style it that I’d still feel comfortable wearing it and that’s what today’s post is about.
What I’m wearing :
Dress : boohoo (friends wardrobe)
Shoe : river island
Purse : gift
Photography : yungkabiyesi (IG)
Like I said in this post, layering is one of my fav trends of all time, it’s amazing how the act of layering has given me a lot more styling options and now I’m wearing lots of things in my wardrobe. I’d never have worn this gorgeous dress for the world to see but wearing it over a shirt just saved the day, this made it look more sophisticated and as conservative as I love to look.
When it come to fashion never say never, you just have to look for ways to make it work for you. So if you’re like me and you’re running away from adding beautiful pieces to your wardrobe because you feel they are not conservative enough, just remember that you can throw it over a simple black shirt or white shirt and viola you’re ready to hit the road and turn heads!!
Till next time… xoxo
Word for today : “Accept no limits” _ saw this in the shirt of my lecturer.
Sharp pictures. Nice styling

I shy away from body con dresses cos curvy girl issues (in this case boob issues). I just feel all the attention will be up there. Love the look though.

I love everything about this outfit the gold bracelet and purse and the complimenting flower shades on the cami just blends the black shirt perfectly 👌🏾. I do run from bodycon because of the whole show it gives but I think I’m down to try this . Thanks b

This is so creative girl, I’ve never thought of this because I rarely buy cami dresses and I feel you though. I have a love/hate relationship with bodycon dresses as well. Keep inspiring hun, you’re doing an amazing job.

I personally share same sentiments with you on the bodycon dress. I also agree never say never, I remeber when I made the One shoulder dress that I styled here http://larateshola.com/how-to-style-a-one-shoulder-dress/ I never thought I would wear it until I found creative ways to. Thanks for sharing, at least am getting a second thought on giving the bodycon dress a try. Have a great week.
