A FASHIONISTA has stepped out in a brand new dress in an attempt to overcome an insecurity.
She said she styled her back rolls in a dress that left little to the imagination, making her feel cute and confident.
Lauren Licup (@laurenlicup) filmed herself trying on the dress in a video on TikTok.
“One insecurity of mine that I’ve never tried to work on is my back, especially my back rolls,” she said.
“I avoid wearing anything that doesn’t have a back. I just want to work on that. So today we’re going to style my back rolls, I think,” she added.
She added that she had the “perfect dress” to celebrate her back rolls.
“I pulled out this Free People dress, but I almost didn’t buy it because it didn’t have a back. But I didn’t let that stop me because this is just too cute a dress.
She completed the look with knee-high boots, a brown bag and black sunglasses.
“I think it’s cute and I feel really good in it,” she said.
“The back, that will take some getting used to. I think the little bow is cute.
“I definitely stand by my position that if you put a bow on something, it immediately becomes more fun. So that helps a bit.
She said posting the video online was for “exposure therapy.”
“These are my back rolls, and they’re part of my body, and I love my body. It’s going to take some getting used to,” she said.
Body positive fashion fans chimed in with their two cents in the comments section.
“It looks like a butterfly,” one person wrote. “I hate mine too, but I will definitely wear a two-piece swimsuit to the beach. It will take a while before I love it.”
“Ah, a butterfly,” Licup replied. ‘So sweet, we’re in this together. I love you.’
“Thanks for being so raw with insecurities,” another added. “He helps us all work on ours.”
“I love you, we are in this together,” Licup wrote back.
“It’s so hard because I think they’re so focused on other people but for some reason it’s gross to me,” a third commented.
“I honestly never notice it in other people so it’s definitely annoying how I think people care about my back rolls. So I get you,” Licup replied.
