Why can’t we accept Lena Dunham’s self-acceptance?

Mode Xlusive

We get it Lena, you love your body! But why is it so hard for us to accept it!

It seems like we just can’t possibly fathom the notion that a woman, who doesn’t have the stereotypical Barbie shape that we associate to beauty, loves herself. The way she is. Do you see the disconnect here?

Why does this picture bother so many of us?

On May 25th 2015 Lena Posted a picture of herself in a moss lace two-piece lingerie set.

Lena Dunham is an American actress, author, screenwriter, producer, and director. She is best known for creating, directing and staring in the HBO hit series Girls. In this show, she is often seen either topless or exposing her body comfortably. She has really changed the landscape for women’s self-love with her laissez-faire attitude. We love and we approve!

Street Style: Denim blouse with Full Stripe Skirt

Events

Do you have a go-to favourite outfit that you know will work? For me this year it’s totally the denim blouse (also called chambray) with a full skirt. Something casual on top paired with something feminine on the bottom. I totally love that look. You will see me repeat-offending this one for sure. Guilty.

My top is from Old Navy and the “High Waist Elastic Black and White Stripe skirt” is from Express {Size L $59.90}. It’s a really thick material and very stretchy. For me it accentuates my waist and is flattering for my legs.

I am holding a “Lovely Bird” hat that I bought at Cloakroom in Toronto. (Love this hat!!!)

My necklace is none other than Katye Landry’s wishbone necklace. Also a repeated offense on my blog!

My black heels are from Vince Camuto.

I am standing outside of the Mayfair Theater in Old Ottawa South on Bank Street. It also started snowing that day! I was frozen, but kept my composure… at least I tried to! My proudest moment was getting so many looks and a few honks. It’s kind of corny, but it made me feel important and sexy! haha

Enjoy the pics!

Proutfit: Black, White and Grey

Mode Xlusive

Not much going on today with my proutfit. A little black, white and grey action. Maybe it’s a symbol of my blah mood.

This is the white skirt I had taken in. I love the embossed floral details of the fabric. It’s not stretchy, so going up stairs and getting into my car is a bit of a “thing”.

My black and white top is from H&M ($14.95). It’s a bit sheer, but does the trick for the price point. I also grabbed a green version of the same top, which I love!

My new go-to cardy is from J-Crew Outlet at Tanger. I love that it is short and hits me at my waistline. Very important to flatter the section that goes in.

I’ve had my black peep-toe patten leather Franco Sarto pumps for almost 5 years now. I had the heel changed twice and the sole reinforced. I love them. Very comfortable heel and great for conferences when you are on your feet all day long.
