Here’s my number one rule for shopping and getting dressed. If it makes you feel good, buy it. There a million and one rules out there for dressing for your body type. That’s fine and great (and I know I look best when I highlight my waist and wear something with a scoop or v-neck) but sometimes I really just don’t care. Sorry. I realize that may make me a blogger as I should be serving up tips for looking your best, but what about feeling your best!? Hence, my obsession with the shapeless. I can’t help it, I know they do nothing for my figure, but I absolutely love a good boxy tunic or embroidered shift. And when I wear them, I think of my happy place.
Along those lines, my latest obsession: Mi Golondrina. I discovered the line via Molly & Sally and the pieces make me so incredibly happy. They remind me of traveling, of the beach and easy summer nights. When I went to Playa del Carmen I was able to scoop up a few embroidered tops + dresses.. these are even better. I’ve been living in this top (also spotted on my insta, here + here) and also bought a few of their dresses.
Shop the Post: Mi Golondrina Top // Paige Denim Jeans // Brahmin Bag {love folding it up to wear as a clutch} // J.Crew Heels {from last year, but this year’s version is nearly identical and these are cute too.}

I was just talking about this with my mother the other day! I have more muscular legs, but I wanted desperately to wear leather biker booties with a white dress to edge it up. My mom reminded me that may not be flattering, and I thought, okay, if it was horrendous, I wouldn’t wear it, but if it’s just not absolutely perfect for my body type, but I feeeeel perfect in it, what does it matter? I ended up wearing it! Glad you feel the same!
