I have a love hate relationship with body con dresses and here's why. My lifestyle doesn't really call for wearing one. I hung up my club heels a long time ago and most dinners or parties I go to calls for more of a Solange-esque look opposed to a Love & Hip Hop type of ensemble.
There is a running joke that I have with some of my fellow bloggers that says wear a body con dress and your social media hits and likes will go through the roof. Wear a casual or everyday look and its crickets. LOL!
I get it, as a plus size woman, wearing a body con makes me feel confident and sexy but I can't have that be the basis of my wardrobe and there is nothing wrong if it is for someone else. I am a big believer in dressing according to your lifestyle. My lifestyle just doesn't call for it all the time. However, when I find one that fits like a glove and flatters my gut, I will snatch it up. Case in point, this Monif C. Tabitha dress that I;m wearing.
When I brought it home, I had to think about when could I wear it. Did I have any events coming up? Sadly, I didn't have an immediate event to wear it to until last night. I had a birthday dinner to go to and it was the first thing I thought of. The dress is ponte knit so I didn't have to worry about it exposing all my nooks an crannies. My favorite two things about the dress is the tulip hem line and the fact that the back is longer than the front so I didn't have to worry about it being too short. To complete my look I went with a pair of blue suede platform heels from Nine West.
What do you think of this look?
