The woman in this picture is the lovely Gabifresh. I came across her blog a few months ago and since then it has definitely been added to my favorites. Besides her obvious fly style and angelic face, I absolutely love how she has embraced her body.

Gabi says “I refuse to dress “for my size”,  instead I dress to express my style. I pick out the same items (or at least styles) I’d wear if I were a size two. I have no issue showing my midriff, arms, legs, or anything else. I hope I don’t sound preachy, and I know everyone doesn’t subscribe to this way of thinking, but I just wanted to let you guys know where I’m coming from ”.

This is fricking amazing. I must admit that I struggle with wearing a two-piece swimsuit each summer, because I believe that my body has to be perfect. The truth is, my body will NEVER be perfect. I admire Gabi for going against what society approves and marching to the beat of her own drum.

As I continue to lose those last couple of pounds before summer arrives, I would like to challenge myself. I would like to embrace my body at all stages. Confidence is key. Without confidence, you have nothing.

Thank you Gabi for sharing with us. I am proud to announce that I will be ordering this exact swimsuit. It’s too gorgeous to pass by.
