One week out from hosting Justin’s 50th birthday d One week out from hosting Justin’s 50th birthday dinner and emceeing Hammers & Heels, so today officially kicked off my beauty marathon.

Started with a facial at The Ritual Co., and yes, I’m here for the glow… but honestly, the real win was an uninterrupted hour to sit still, be taken care of, and fully relax.
Learning to love your body isn’t a linear journey Learning to love your body isn’t a linear journey and it often doesn’t have a clear and definitive end. I’ve worked for the better part of a decade on my relationship with my body. I’ve done a lot of work. I’ve honored her, encouraged her, I’ve chosen to see her as good. It’s been an intentional journey to really break down and know my body is good, just as it it. 

But just when I think I have evolved past being critical of myself I go to try on swimsuits and boom I’m back. This past weekend I went to try on swimsuits. It was a last minute decision and I just popped in a store. I talked to an associate and realized she was picking things and putting them into a fitting room for me. I could feel my pulse starting to race. Initially I was frustrated with myself for feeling insecure about trying on suits but then I remembered that this is a journey. I politely told the sales associate that I just didn’t think I was ready to try on. In the kindest way she said, it’s fine, I’ll mark some things down and when you feel ready just come back. 

I’m telling you this story because sometimes it’s easy to look at people who share their lives online and think they some how have mastered living themselves in a way that you can never achieve. The truth is that for many people it’s something we still struggle with from time to time.

Just remind yourself that like most things in life there is no medal for being the most secure person in the room. Give yourself grace and just repeat after me, my body is good just as it is.

First, try things. You are going to be stuck if you always go with a comfortable formula. 

Second, if YOU think YOU look good then go with it. You don’t need someone else seal of approval.

Don’t Fear the Crop Tops

Suns out mid drift out, right?  I am seeing the stores fill with crop tops and listening to my friends talk about how there is no way they are wearing a crop top at their age.  I get it.  Mid drifts aren’t usually what people think of an asset when it comes to their body.  But there is a way to wear them that may make you feel comfortable and not require you to show ant additional skin.

The crop tops that are currently in the stores are peek a boo at the top of the abdomen which happens to be the smallest part of your waist.  In reality it is the optimal part of your mid drift to show.  The second thing is that when paired with a skirt or pants you can wear it under the bottom of the crop top and not show any skin at all.  There are so many high waisted options on the market currently it’s an easy trend to do.

Like this look…

So here I pulled the skirt up to right under the bottom of the skirt.  This crop top is more of a peek a boo so it will work either way.  Also, the skirt is meant to me a tea length so no matter if you wear it further down on your waist or not the hem of the skirt will hit in the right place.

The second way to wear this outfit is to pull the waist of the skirt down just slightly and it will show you a little pop of your mid section.  Mine not being tan basically blends into the blush top but with a tan this would be everything.

Top // Skirt // Shoes

Other outfits I love top & skirt // top & bottom // top & bottom

Either way this outfit is perfection!  Don’t be afraid of the crop tops.  You can make them for you.

XO,

Tippy
