Sporty bodycon in spain
Pictures by James Chardon |
THE TALKOkay so I always had pretty strong opinions about bodycon dresses, or the ”suck-it-in-super-tight-it-squeezes-errrthang” kind of dresses… So either you la-la-love it, or they give your nighmares. I shared both opinions… During different periods too… So there was the one with and without a work-out routine obviously (aah the pleasures of squats…)… And as you can imagine the one without was yuk. I mean, I always felt like bodycon dresses, bandage and stuff, always looked kind of tacky. Kind of like you want to show the world that you have a flat tummy and tight butt (okay… I TOTALLY get it, after hours of training you wanna spread the love!). Or it’s great if you have beautiful curves, dem’ little bum boom right where you need to have it.
I’ve personally never really been a huge fan. Even if I’ve done my core exercises (werk, werk) and lunges, I’m not a bandage girl especially since you can barely have a glass (or the bottle like I like to hehe) of water, or even grab some lunch without thinking about your tumzy sticking out afterwards (breath in, and don’t breath out!). Ahh us girls, all the things we have to think about right… Imagine if guys had to wear bodysuits and leggings. Well some do actually! Anyway, I thought about giving a try to this funky dress as since I was mad about the print. Since fashion week is almost there, I take advantage of playing it comfy as I know that in September my feet are going to suffer enough from high heels. Love how sporty this dress went out with the sandals and the denim! A good way to play down a bodycon dress! So what is your opinion about it?

I really really like this print of the dress. I know some girls and they wear bodycon dresses. Ok, you want to show us that you're slim but the print is awful. But when I look at this dress I like it and I don't think that you wanted to show us your body. You wanted to show us this perfect dress. Does it make sence? haha And with the denim shirt it's chic and still comfy (I think :))

I completely agree. Bodycons look great on everyone else but me, it seems. If you don't have great posture, the dress will backfire. If you eat, the dress will backfire. So I just keep away from bodycons.
BUT the ones with print, like yours, definitely help hide the bumps! I really like the dress you're wearing :)

hahahah 'bum boom' .. love it kristina you're too funny!
And the dress is amazing! I totally agree that bodycon dresses are a challenge for most girls because they don't allow for much breathing room (literally and figuratively!) but you pulled it off well!
And an interesting take on wearing that dress! I would've thought heels and a red clutch or something but the flats and chambray kinda work!

Hi,
love the jeans shirt over the dress, however switching flats for heels would make the outfit really fabulous. In my opinion, only tall models can pull off bodycon dresses with flats. We "normal" girls need just a few inches of help ;)

My body is relatively petit so I like tighter dresses because they usually fit me better.
http://www.blogger.com/profile/06644679029508950295On the other hand, I'm thin but curvy so it's always hard for me to wear tight dresses in a casual manner. A good example of that is the black and white pattern dress you wore here: http://www.kayture.com/2013/05/b-pattern.html
I liked that dress so much I immediately ordered one for myself. However, I was a bit disappointed to realize I couldn't quite wear it in the same casual-but-elegant manner you did. My body is not the best for cool, stylish fashion. You, however, manage to be at the same time sexy and elegant.

In my humble opinion..it does not do your classy personality any justice.
Like you mentioned it squeezes and pronounces areas you rather hide.
I love all the other stuff you wear!!!

I already saw this dress on your Instagram and I fell deeply in love. I love dresses like this one, but as you said there has to be a looot of workout the weeks and months before so it does not happen very often that anyone is seeing me in one of those beauties. Maybe next year (planned a huge fitness and healthy food routine for winter) ;)
http://www.blogger.com/profile/01268606240629415067Anyways, you look fabulous in this dress. You need to wear it more often, just because you can ;) xx

I think the print here is the key to the perfect fit of the dress. I share the same doubtful opinion about this type of dresses, but this one here is like the best of the best. The curve of the pattern gives a whole another vibe. It seriously fits you perfect!

It's mostly in how you wear them, I think. Just bodycon and heels, for example is very starightfoward. But if you add some sort of loose vest and wear them with flats like you did, it has a totally different vibe. (It's my prefered way of wearing bodycon too). But obviously, you're always showing off all the different curves in your body but that happens to be exactly what I like about them.

http://www.blogger.com/profile/01437517597949903247Une petite Bruxelloise
This one looks great on you and I particularly like the combination with the denim shirt. What you say about bodycon dresses is absolutely true, although I don't think they are only good for super-thin women. You have a point about the curves and from my experience guys do not really care for a tummy peeping out, as long as they say the right places being emphasised (if you know what I mean! hehe). I would say bodycon dresses have more to do with age (I wouldn't like them on women in their later 30s etc)rather than perfect body measurements :)

I agree these dresses are for curvy women, i don't even see the point to wear it when you have no boobs and no bum. Well, whatever. The long dress fits you better
