Perfectly Imperfect!

Hello there Gorgeous Perfectly Imperfect friend, I hope you are going well, if not take your mind off as you read through this short blog 😉 post for some feel-good Friday chat.

Today’s feature is this lovely short and sweet look. It’s a simple white dress with pink strikes at the front. I matched this up with this gorgeous sling bag (same bag in THIS POST but without the tailhook) then for a casual summer vibe I wore these brown and white sandals. I love sandals a lot, if I’m not in heels, I sure am in sandals. Check out my Gladiator Sandals blogs HERE and HERE.

Short Story, sip some tea darling …

I’m a lover of short outfits in general but the plot twist of the matter was actually not so when I was small. Growing up I hated my legs such that I’d hide them in long trousers throughout. I was always skinny, with small boobs (okay let’s call them mosquito bite-sized boobs, don’t worry I learnt to embrace them), tiny waist then I have these humongous legs like I had elephantiasis.

The legs run in my mother’s side of the family meanwhile in my father’s side they all have long skinny legs. So picture this, my mums side have big boobs ,well endowed bodies, great ass and all this is frame is well-balanced with beautiful thick legs. Then from dad’s side they are all skinny, no boobs (zero boobage insight), non-existent ass then these gorgeous gazelle skinny legs. So basically they are balanced on both sides of the family, right! Wrong! Genetics had to mix it all up without any particular consideration of the laws of proportions and here I emerged, skinny, zero titties, waist to die for, and an amazing ass that people would pay to have, then these huge legs!! Now tell me you wouldn’t be mad and try to hide the disproportions.  Lol.  So that’s what I did.

All throughout primary school, I’d wear slightly longer uniform dresses in the bid to hide the “flaws” only to now realise that that only made my legs look bigger/thicker.  In primary school, I actually had the biggest legs as compared to my counterparts and I kinda felt out even sometimes get some hurtful remarks here and there.  In fact, I realised my legs would slightly swell if I walked too much, sit too much, or was hot too much and this meant they grew too much more…. like wtf!

Then …

comes High school, still no boobs insight, small waist, tiny ass but 100% legs. I was literally carrying all the legs plus my neighbors and their kids, etc 😂😂…. Yes I know I’m exaggerating but that’s the mental state I was at during in my teens .  I tried again covering them up with long skirts. So going for sports we’d wear wrap-around skirt-shorts and every time my school mates would compliment my legs.

At first I was like guys I can’t have this ,please stop! I already went thru that phase in primary school so cut me some slack and imagine I’m walking on hockey sticks or something.  Then the compliments kept on and then my bestie told me to look around. I look and see beautiful skinny gazelle legs. She tells me exactly, they are hockey sticks, toothpicks actually while you have beautifully shaped juicy legs. (Don’t feel offended guys if you fall here, at the end of it all, you are beautifully and wonderfully made). I was like what, really, even you are joining that gang, girl, we not having this. Then she advised to try wearing my short skirt uniform to school.

I watch myself in the mirror and I fell in love with my legs. I went to uni and kept on with short outfits and men just drooled all over. In fact I had this “friend” that had a fetish for toes and legs and he’d always ”massage” my legs and toes. So yeah, I never looked back on long outfits again. God bless her soul and many others who encouraged me to embrace my flaws and work on them.

MORAL of the story …

Love your imperfections, love your body. You are made Perfectly Imperfect so dress it to suit your frame. I used to cut off my legs at the wrong points so it made me look like I was walking with tree trunks. It’s all in the balancing of body proportions. If you are thick wear fitting clothes to not look bulky. If skinny but want to look slightly endowed there are many ways to create the illusion of having a body.

It’s all in the illusion. Above all it’s paramount to love your body no matter how it is and try to work on it. If you have issues finding the best look for your frame I’d be of assistance. You can always ask me privately on my socials and I’d be of service. I believe we should all love ourselves and also I grew to love myself because I had a friend that showed me how. So consider this a favor I’m returning back to the universe. 

I hope you are feeling better now and ready to face the world again my perfectly imperfect frenzies. Stay Glam 😘 and Happy Friday.
