It’s like this print was made for me. I mean I live in the tropics and love to wear colour. Totally me. Kate Aikins, designer of Misty Belvidere was wearing this print when I met her at the Curvy Couture Roadshow. I was captivated by the signature tropiflora print, its seriously mesmerising to look at. You’ll probably have noticed by now that I’m all about wearing colour. The colours we choose to surround ourselves affect us more than we think. As a society, we associate colors with so many different things – they have meanings beyond simple visual stimulation. Yeah wearing black can be ‘slimming’ but WHO CARES. I don’t live my life with the aim to ‘look slimmer’. When I wear colour, I’m celebrating life. Which is every day. Interior designers use colour to create different moods in different rooms – to inspire, energize, or calm. I apply this concept to my outfits. So if you are felling a little meh, channel some of the power of colour into your outfits and see what happens. Now back to my tropical outfit. This gorgeous and flattering high waisted skirt is knee-length, made of cotton sateen and has the signature Misty Belvidere metal zip at the back. Size wise I’m wearing a size 1. Theres a fair amount of stretch in the skirt and an especially generous amount of space for those of you who have larger hips and thighs. The print on the skirt is such a statement that I decided to keep it simple with the top. The black ‘Avante Crop’ is made of a soft, buttery feeling stretch ponte. It has a scoop neck and fitted sleeves. Now guys this is a crop crop. If I had of put my arms up you’d see a slither of tummy and I’m totally okay with that. For those of you with a big bust (I’m a 18G) I’d size up just so you have a little more room. My shoes and bag match the subtle flecks of purple in the skirt. Keeping it simple and smart.
