African print top: thrifted, Red Jeggings: Gap |
I first put this top on with a long, white, maxi skirt. Fitted top, long flowy skirt. Always an appropriate silhouette for curvy women. Especially women like me who are much larger on bottom than on top. The “rules” for women shaped like me is always, “loose on bottom, fitted on top, belt to accentuate waist.” But I didn’t want to be appropriate today. Nor did I want to give a rat’s ass what was flattering. I absolutely love these red jeggings, and I wanted to wear it with a favorite top of mine. So……. this is the outcome. A short, fitted top, paired with skin tight jeggings that show every lump, bump, curve, etc. I have. I wore this to see Tamika “Love” Jones, Deborah Bond, and Yahzarah perform in the Carter Barron in Rock Creek Park last night. And although the long white skirt probably would have looked just fine with this top, I truly love how I felt when I paired it with the jeggings. Rat’s ass not given.
