Melao Ruffled Bikini curated on LTK

delightfully_deligne

Although this swimsuit is from a couple seasons back, I wanted to share some current favorites for my flat sisters to view. (PS lots of great Memorial Day sales going on this weekend!) I have found to love ruffles, one shoulder suits or halter and triangle bikini tops with light padding when searching for swimsuits. This Tularosa swimsuit I thought I would never wear again after my surgery, but as time passes, the remembrance of a body with breasts fades and I embrace my new embodiment of health and well-being. Sending all of you light & love✨☀️🫶 #LTKFind

Positano style 🌞🌊 A slice of Italian paradise you'll never want to leave🇮🇹

#LTKover40 #LTKtravel #LTKstyletip

Hey there, flat sisters! Several have asked what swimsuit styles I wear, so here is a compilation of my different options since my breast cancer surgery.

It’s really been an evolution of rebuilding confidence. The first summer after my double mastectomy flat closure, I really struggled with the empty space and felt like I needed volume to help fill the void. The ruffles and high neck swimsuits with light padding were my go-to for the first year.

It wasn’t until my second year out that I felt comfortable enough to wear the bikinis that I wore prior to my surgery. I realized that I could wear the regular triangle bikini tops and no one really notice that I didn’t have breasts. (Granted, I am aware this is easier for women with smaller frames.) The key is to find minimal padding in these bikini tops, the padding should be flimsy and not rigid. If it’s rigid, you will have gaps between the swimsuit and your chest wall. Triangle tops with fringe or extra texture will add slight volume and create the illusion of some itty bitty boobies in there.

For women with larger frames, I highly recommend the ruffled swimsuits to help even out the chest wall to belly ratio. Other options are a low deep v one piece with layered jewelry or a high neck suit with padding on the inside.

Lately in the style world, I’ve been obsessed over these barrel jeans and cropped blazers. Cropped blazers are a trend that will continue throughout summer and into the fall/winter 2024 season.

For the ladies who don’t want to show their midriffs, I suggest wearing high waisted bottoms or patterned hosiery that complement your relaxed trousers to add an extra fun element.

If purchasing the @freepeople jeans I recommend sizing down one size. I normally wear a 26 and purchased a size 25 instead.

#LTKshoecrush #LTKSeasonal #LTKstyletip

Yesterday’s outfit details! Snag all these items on sale⚡️⚡️

Wearing size 2 long in jeans but ended up getting them hemmed up an inch. Such a great trouser jean. I love the relaxed fit with super high waist, which helps to elongate the legs. I’m 5’6 and probably would have been fine with the regular length for heels.

Spring transitions✨

You can’t go wrong with the price point on these light weight, versatile cargo pants by Steve Madden. They make a great addition for the upcoming SS24 season!

(Wearing size small in both top and bottoms)

I had several asking me for the link from this story post, so thought I would share it here! Love this Sweaty Betty sweatshirt for all the things! (I actually own it in both colors, black and lily white.) Not a lot of sizes left. So I linked two different sources. Wearing a size small, but could definitely do a small or medium. 😎✌🏻

#LTKsalealert #LTKfitness #LTKstyletip

A utilitarian state of mind✌🏻 Having multiple pocket options brings me joy😎

The pair I’m wearing here is by Alo, but unfortunately they have never restocked this item with the metal loops. However, the men’s version I love just as well and buy a size small in them.

This body necklace is by @freepeople and can be worn so many different ways. I love wearing it as a top (because I can as a flattie😝) especially under a suit jacket for that perfect statement piece.

#LTKstyletip #LTKsalealert #LTKworkwear

Diggin’ the new updated barrel jean style. They are my rave rn🫶✌🏻 Definitely size down one size. I normally wear a 26, but I bought a size 25 based off reviews and they fit perfectly!

GRWM for an uptown Thanksgiving look🦃 I love this Steve Madden dress in chocolate (this color is huge this season), and the price you just can’t beat.

TIPS: This dress can be styled so many ways. You can pair it with a sweater and sneakers for a more casual appeal or with a belted blazer for work. It’s a great staple piece for anyone’s wardrobe. However, if you are petite, the dress does run on the longer side.

When it’s 80 degrees in October you’re confused on what to wear fr fr. Here, I chose pinstripe pants paired with a light weight boxed tee to keep it cool today. The moto hat helps to keep the season of fall on mind, and I chose my favorite casual white sneakers to match the tee. Wearing size 2 in pants, 8 in sneakers, size small in top.

For my flat chested sisters, layering necklaces is a great way to fill in the empty space. It distracts the eyes by providing more details to look at.

Shop the look via shop tab link in bio or head over to my stories. Hope everyone gets out and enjoys these next couple of warm days🫶✌🏻

Warm days in fall call for peekaboo moments🙃

I love this new pant by Sam Edelman. The color choices are superb and the hardware with black leather detail on the waistline is what sold me😍 I sized up for length and am wearing a size 4, however if you don’t need the extra length stick to your regular size :) (Ps these pants are a steal at $99)

One thing I will say as a flat woman these days, I’m thriving on being able to wear sheer tops and not care if I’m revealing too much because there is nothing there. Its the juxtaposition of it all for me. There may not be anything there but there is still a sex appeal to the playfulness of it all.

OWN IT & ROCK IT👊🏻🤟🏻

Just another casual Monday 🤓

Wearing size 26 in these Mother Hustler Ankle jean. They are the perfect jean to showcase a great chelsea boot. Wearing size small in Paris sweatshirt from Abercrombie (size up if you want it to be oversized). The sweatshirt is cropped right at the waistline of the jean. Super cute fit🫶

Happy Monday, beautiful souls ✨

Did you hear? Pinstripes are back! I’m loving these new pants from @express. I’m wearing a 2R, which still gives me enough length for a 2 inch heel. If you like the material to touch the floor and cover the heel, then opt for the long length. I’m contemplating buying a second pair🤪

✨When it comes to pattern play fashion, there are two rules to follow:

1️⃣ One pattern must be smaller in size than the other
2️⃣ Both patterns must share a common color

Mixing prints on prints allows you to be creative, and honestly, it makes for some of the best eye catching looks. If you need help styling new looks from your wardrobe, shoot me a DM! Sometimes another eye is exactly what’s needed to think outside the box with everyday apparel 🧥👖👔👚

Ad Regardless of your jewelry inventory, there is always room for a unique piece by Alexis Bittar✨

When it comes to jewelry, I look for unrepeatable pieces with a respectful price range. I adore the contrasting pave crystal accent, which makes this cuff an upscaled two-toned moment for any look. The 14k gold plated brass cuff is bendable -which sold me immediately- because there is nothing worse than a cuff that doesn’t fit your wrist!
