A few weeks ago, I was sent this adorable dress by the lovely people over at Alice's Pig, a fashion brand from Brixton in South London inspired by vintage style and Alice in Wonderland. The name is a reminder that colliding styles and cultures can produce something interesting and that there can be beauty and surprise in anything; even in a pig. Their brand image speaks to me so much that I was so happy they gifted me a piece of my choosing. To be honest, the first time I tried this dress on...I felt I was too big for it. The dress looked SO CUTE but I couldn't bring myself to get past that feeling. (Social anxiety + a handful of body issues...it's amazing how I'm able to keep this blog going, honestly.) But then I thought to myself, I am a hundred times more confident when I have my makeup on, so I did a little test shoot with it. After that I showed my friends the photos, and them being the ever-supportive cheerleaders that they are (hi SK, I mean you), they told me that I looked great. That gave me all the courage that I needed.
