What is sexy? To me, sexy is when I’ve been laughing too hard. Smiling too much, feeling good in what I have on, or don't; bare. It’s an incredibly empowering to be stripped down, walking around at home, feeling beautiful, sexy and confident in your skin. Growing up, I must admit, I wasn’t the most confident person. A little awkward, and slightly shy was my nick name… I remember waking up and watching my mom put on her make up. How she would perfectly draw on her signature cat eye. How she would spray her favorite perfume as she walked around her closet picking out her outfit. As a little girl, I was in completely awe with how graceful and elegant everything seemed to be. It wasn’t until middle school that I really discovered my voice and style. It was such a growing period for me personally, as for most teens, but it was then, that I decided that confidence wasn’t only a feeling but it was also something I could wear too.
This series, I wanted to show a different side of my personal style. Something a little more intimate. Something you can wear with or without clothes; And I think its one of the most important ‘basics’ a woman or men can have. Confidence. When stripped down to nothing, without labels, without tags, you my dear, must feel like Chopard Diamonds and silk. Self worth can really dictate how you see yourself in or out of clothes which is why we are going bare today, where nothing can be hidden.
I was a little nervous to share these photos, and so was the photographer (James) for other obvious reason hahaha. But I truly hope you get something from this and go on with your day feeling sexy in whatever you might be wearing.
