Dressing my Best... On my day off.

Its a little ironic that I decided to participate in the "Dress Your Best" feature that the fabulous girls over at Academichic have put together on my day off. Ya know, the day when you just kinda float around and don't even really need to get dressed at all. But the more I thought about, what a more perfect day. My body is at its best on all days, not just the days I dress for work.

I am so in love with the concept of this feature. Please jog over to their blog and read about it! I decided to include all 5 of my favorite body parts in one post. They may not appear highlighted in this outfit... but they were definitely highlighted to me in one way shape or form on this day.

1. My skin. There are many body parts that I've battled with, but my skin has always been on my side. I've never struggled with acne. I can count the amount of pimples Ive gotten in the past 5 years on one hand. I wish I could attribute this to an amazing cream, great cleansing habits or something of the sorts... but no folks, its all genetics. My father has dark, clear skin. And I thank him for giving this to me. My mother has pale porcelain skin that freckles and NEVER tans... From her I got my freckles, which I adore. For this reason, I love my skin.

2. My gi-hugic (yes that's a word I made up) calves. I have a love hate relationship with my calves. I used to dance and cheer when I was younger and have always had a thick lower body. For a long while I was very insecure about my lower body... but it has always been strong. It has always supported me. This truth was more than evident Tuesday morning during spin class and Wednesday afternoon during Yoga. I'm thankful for my strong calves.

3. My small waist. No matter how much weight I put on, my waist has always been more on the tiny side. I have a small frame and my rib cage is about as big around as a 7 year olds. This has always played to my advantage. Having always been over weight, I had "curves" on my side. I've always been proud of my curves.

4. My booty. Its ample and firm... enough said.

5. My back. This may be a bit weird... but I like my back... even though I cant really see it. I heart tattoos... and since I work in corporate America for now, my back is my canvas. I currently only have 2 tats on my back, but what artist doesn't love their canvas first? right?
