Body Confidence with Dia & Co*

With the warmer weather finally making an appearance here in the U.K it's time to pack away the winter coats & dig out those summer outfits. Playsuits, summer dresses & little pairs of shorts are all perfect items of clothing to wear on a particularly warm day. However - for some of us - the thought of showing more skin can be a little scary.

Whether immediately discarding an outfit without even trying it on, or simply not feeling comfortable once out of the house, the dent in my body-confidence means I can sometimes struggle when it comes to fashion in the summer months. However this year I have set myself the challenge of stepping out of my comfort zone & dressing in the outfits that I truly like.

As someone who feels most comfortable pairing any skirt/dress with tights, going "bare leg" is something really out of my comfort zone. However - as almost any girl will know - black tights & the summer sun really don't go well together (hello melting legs!). So this year my aim is to break the habit & step outside with my bare legs showing.. even if they are a little on the pale side. Ultimately I'm hoping taking this small step will help build my body-confidence & enjoy the summer months without the stress of "what to wear" or the pain of sitting with ridiculously toasty legs!
