It's 2014 and nipples are everywhere. One of my favorite fashion trends, or perhaps fashion taboos, is that once you get to the peak of high fashion, nipples all of a sudden go from unspeakable burdens to full blown accessories. Miley, Kimmy K, and we can't forget Rihanna, are all bearing their chests in see through garments leaving nothing to the imagination. Should we be blurring them out or sending our praise? Where do we draw the line between trendy and trashy? I say, slip those nips with pride! (only if you want to, of course). It's the age old questions of why can men be shirtless but not women... I'll tell you what, I'd rather look at Rihanna's knockers any day than half the men proudly barring it all on the beach. For too long have women's bodies been shamed for being nothing but beautiful. We shouldn't encourage girls to cover up, we should encourage them to be proud of what they were given because they shouldn't be changing themselves to please others. Obvi I don't want my future thirteen year old running around the mall in see through clothes, but when she's a woman of age I don't want her to feel like she has anything to be ashamed of, that she has to hide herself from the world in order to fit THEIR standards that THEY created for her. We're anatomical masterpieces. Each piece of us matters, each part of us has a function, each of our souls has a purpose. Bare yourself with pride, or don't, but never shame yourself or others for feeling beautiful inside and out.
You're gorgeous. Don't change a thing.
