Body Talk

A woman's body is often objectified in the media and in movies through the eyes of what men want to see. What happens when a woman flaunts her self and her best assets can end up being an empowering thing. Whether your best feature are you legs, stomach, lips, eyes, breasts, arms, but, back, feet, hips, or all of the above, there's an outfit and attitude to go along with them.

After all, models and celebs show off their bodies in women fashion magazines where men often don't dare to venture into. Angie Dickinson once said, "I dress for women and I undress for men." Nowadays, fashion is going in between this idea where what's in are crop tops and tight, minimal Hervé Léger bandeau dresses. You know girls aren't simply doing this to garner attention from men or women, they're doing it for themselves because they feel good doing it.

Feeling comfortable with one's self can be a long and hard road for many. Skinny girls/curvy girls and tall/short girls all have a little something something to work with. It's just not always sexy to bare it all because there's obvious tacky roads that can go down. Let me just say this though, sometimes obvious sexuality is good. But showing a piece here and there can be mysterious to those around you.

It's not just always skin one can flaunt. Kanye West may think obnoxious lip colors are just that...obnoxious, but it's in fashion to rock a shade of deep purple, black, and Barbie pink. It draws attention to the mouth, a part where people focus on when you talk face-to-face. It'll catch their attention (and I just happen to think black lipstick is awesome). So pout away, ladies.

Every woman should have a part of themselves they feel proud of. If you hate your arms, go for a pair of shorts. Maybe it's just one of those days where nothing fits, throw on a pair of sky-high leopard wedges and go for a strut down Main Street. When you don't feel 100% comfy showing major amounts of skin, find a sheer dress or top to go over slinky lingerie. And here's to those who love showing a lot, just go for it. Fashion is there to express yourself and show how you feel on the inside and push it to the outside.
