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.

Olive Drab for Spring

I found a new boutique on Instagram and was able to stop in a few weeks ago. Dolce Boutique on Metairie Road is cute and fun and if you are in the area it’s a quick hop off of I-10 at the Metairie Road exit.

When I was there I found the cutest BB Dakota jumpsuit. BB Dakota has to be one of my personal favorite splurge brands. I don’t often spend $80 on a jumpsuit but there knits last a long time and always look great on me.

Olive is a springtime staple for me. I love using it as a neutral and it pairs well with colors like blush, navy, lavender, melon, denim and more. I really used to feel like olive wasn’t a bright enough color for me but over the last few years I have really gown to love it. When you are looking for that perfect spring neutral it can be the perfect fit for an outfit.

This jumpsuit isn’t available online but here a few that are… {This post contains affiliate links.}

  • Olive Flight Suit
  • Lulu’s Faux Wrap
  • Short Sleeve Cropped Jumpsuit

I put my denim jacket on with the jumpsuit but I have also tried it on with my blush oversized blazer and a cardigan. This is a great wear now, wear later piece too as this color will be great all the way through the fall.

XO,

Tippy
