Letting go of insecurities is one of the most liberating things you can do.
For me, that journey began when I started style blogging. I wasn't just styling outfits for myself, I was inspiring other women to dress as freely as possible, so I began wearing crop tops, bodycon dresses, skirts, and even sleeveless tops.
I know that last one isn't easy for a lot of us. But especially in the summer, it's painful for me to see another woman sweating it out in a thick cardigan for no reason other than fear of what people might say/think about her arm fat. Fuck them! Dress for the weather and your style.
Letting go of the fear is like ripping off a Band-Aid. You can't think about it too long — just put on a tank top and go outside. Here's some fashion inspiration to get you going!
