French Curves – Tropicool

J’étais membre du challenge French Curves sur mon ancien blog Hair-related.com, et j’ai décidé de continuer l’aventure ici. Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas, French Curves est un challenge – à l’initiative de Gaëlle Prudencio – permettant à plusieurs blogueuses d’univers différents de partager des looks curvy tous les 16 du mois, suivant le même thème. Suivez-nous et partagez vos looks avec le hashtag #FrenchCurves sur Tweeter, Instagram et la page Facebook du challenge !
Grâce au bloghop en fin de cet article, jeter un coup d’oeil aux autres participantes 🙂

Allez-vous me croire si je vous dis que cette tenue a été totalement improvisé le matin même alors que je cherchais une solution B pour participer au challenge, parce qu’à cause de mon syndrome de l’imposteur, je n’ai pas eu la tenue que je voulais ? Bougez pas, attrapez vos popcorns, je vous explique…

 

J’avais COMPLETEMENT craquée sur une tenue d’une de mes marques chouchoutes – ELOQUII – mais en ce moment la tendance n’est pas à la dépense. En effet il y a peu de temps j’ai quitté mon emploi et je prépare actuellement mon mariage, donc les achats à 3 chiffres (et plus) sont murement réfléchis…

Je sais ce que vous allez me dire “Mais t’aurais pu contacter la marque BLABLABLA”. C’est vrai. Mais je ne me fais pas encore assez confiance pour avoir ce genre de démarche. J’ai appris à toujours compter sur moi-même et je n’ai jusqu’à présent jamais eu cette démarche de demander des choses – en tout cas, pas de moi-même – à des marques pour des collaborations ou autres… Est-ce que cela me porte préjudice ? Peut être.

Mon syndrome de l’imposteur, c’est de croire que je ne suis pas assez légitime pour tenter des collaborations et proposer des choses. Je vais plutôt être celle qui attend patiemment son tour et ne provoque pas forcément sa chance. Mais d’écrire cet article me donne envie de changer la donne et de tenter de nouvelle choses.

Pensez-vous qu’il est mieux de briller par son travail, et d’attendre les retours et leurs effets ?

Ou êtes-vous de ceux qui pensent que parfois il faut provoquer sa chance, et créer son opportunité en faisant le premier pas ?

Bon… Parlons un peu de cette tenue !

Ce top est un clin d’oeil à mes origines. Etant des Caraïbes, je me suis sentie Tropicool dès que j’ai arboré cette association de tissu madras et de jean. J’ai apprécié tous les “big up” de mes compatriotes ce samedi dans les rues de Paris, à base de “YESSAY’ le madras” avec le pouce levé en signe d’approbation. J’ai toujours adoré ce madras en particulier, un mélange de rouge et de vert sur fond jaune, et je ne comprends pas pourquoi ce tissu qui m’est si cher n’a pas été aussi vulgarisé que le wax que je vois à toutes les sauces en ce moment.

Histoire de casser ce cycle de syndrome de l’imposteur…

Je jette aujourd’hui une bouteille à la mer : J’adorerai pouvoir collaborer avec une marque (ou une personne ?) qui pourrait faire des coupes modernes avec du madras ! Si vous connaissez quelqu’un ou que vous êtes ce quelqu’un voici mon adresse : contact@sogwladys.com

What can I say ? “ça fait longtemps” ! I took advantage of this summer to trudge for a bit everywhere, and to think, always and again, about my futur. I’ve started a serious reassessment since the opening of the new blog, regarding my carrier, without really giving you any details. Indeed, I’m leaving the company I’ve been working for for 7 years, to confront the unknown. I’ve known about it way before the launch of the new bog, but I wasn’t confortable enough to publicly announce it. I putted too much pressure on myself, as I didn’t have any clear answer when people was asking stuff like “Where you goin’? What you doyin’?”. Yes, for now, my futur is uncertain : I don’t know yet what I’m going to do. So my answer is now “I’m considering my options.” ! Which is not a lie ! My head is full of ideas, so I’m working on several projects at the same time. For that matter one of them is the reason why I’ve been away. I need to do a huge preparation work, which (kind of) made me go back to school, as I’m taking Math and English classes at the moment !! I don’t know if it’s going to work. I’m not 100% confident about it, but I want to try and take any chances. I’m happy to be back here with the French Curvette team ! I had to pass last month because of a lake of time, but also because I wasn’t ready to spill the tea about my situation.

What is the Trench Coat ? Based on the etymology, it’s a coat for people who was staying on the trench during the war. It was created buy Thomas Burberry in 1914 (Thanks Wikipediaaaa!!). So yeah that’s not super glamour to imagine the soldiers in action during the war… But the thing is that after the war, it became a piece of clothes just like any other, as it’s was waterproof and warm ! The trench coat became a timeless piece as it was practical and endlessly reproducible !

Now I can tell you the truth : I’m not a trench coat person. But when I tried Rachel’s one, my awesome friend-photographer-singer-blogger-she does too much stuff-eft, I loved it ! I think it suits me so well, that maybe she should have gave it to me (ok I’m kidding Rachel…or not). This international bomb is from ELVI, that I’m going to keep a close watch on from now, as I tried a piece from them in real life !

And because it’s only sexy on movies to be naked under a coat, I’m wearing this out from space trench coat : a small tight top from Primark and a dotted swiss tutu skirt from Castaluna ! My booties ar from Torrid, which is an excellent provider to wide feet shoes (in addition to all the wonderful stuff you can already find). My jewelries (earrings and bracelet) are from the French brand Zabok that I think you should start to follow too.

 

So, how is everything for you ? Do you also have a trench coat from out of space or are going to borrow one from your friend for this fall ?

French Curves










A denim dress like no other

It’s not easy to find a stylish denim dress when you’re curvy. What happen sometimes is that the sizing is not adapted (plus size clothes, but very tight and uncomfortable), that the material is too cheap (clothes being ruined after the very first wash) or that the colours is fading (clothes being altered after the very first wash).

We always think twice before we buy denim clothes. But it wasn’t my case for this dress ! A real love at first sight for the original cut and this intense blue.

I wear it for the first time in New York during the Full Figured Fashion Week and I only received compliments about it.

The clutch is from Primark ! I borrowed it from Rachel to change a lil’ bit 🙂 I’m wearing a pair of shades from Ray-Bay which are quite vintage. I think the name of this range is “Wings”.


Tell me from where are your favorite denim pieces !!!
