Good morning Community! I hope you are all well and this year has gotten off to a good start! Mine has been……interesting to say the least!
I’m excited to share more about my style, thank you to the amazing @Jennifer Walderdorff for creating this app! 💕
I am Zimbabwean and have always loved very colourful clothing. In my early 20s, I stopped wearing sleeveless clothing because I was embarrassed about my arms; I felt they were fat and unattractive. So even on the hottest days I would cover up 😭 A few years ago I was a bridesmaid at a wedding and the dress was….you guessed it: SLEEVELESS. I wanted to cry but not wanting to stress the bride, I bit the bullet and wore it. I am so thankful because that opened to door to me being more comfortable.
And now for occasions; my signature style is a big skirt and a sleeveless top: tailor made by an amazing woman in Harare called Eva who takes my ideas and creates these beauties!!
Let me know if any of this resonates and what you think of my fit!

Yaaas! The arms are often a psinpoint as we get older, but in spring/summer it can just be more comfortable! So embrace your comfort and let your arms free, especially when you’re feeling great and you wear an outfit that matches your mood. ❤️❤️❤️
