Wait, where is the woman who posted the original post ? Cuz I am looking for her on Chictopia and I just don't see her. I do see a beautiful young woman, though. : )

Welcome !

Welcome! You are beautiful! Looking forward to more conversations with you, and maybe some photo posts when you're ready! I love your description of your style; your passion for style comes through, and I think you'll have a lot of fun here on the forum as well as the blog. You might also like to check out the blog Already Pretty: http://www.alreadypretty.com/ It's another good one for helping to develop an appreciation for the body we have today and having fun adorning that body.

It makes me sad to hear how badly you feel about your body. I think that the media has a lot to answer for here. We are bombarded with images of airbrushed, photoshopped leggy girls who aren't real. When are the real women going to be accepted? We all have body parts which we dislike, and other people's cruelty makes matters worse. It seems that this is just the right place for women who celebrate being real normal women, not androgynous stick people. My heart goes out to you xxx Sent with love from Kirstie xx
