Kim Kardashian West has issued a very blunt message to those criticising her recent assortment of racy outfits.

The mother-of-two has been raising eyebrows over the past few weeks, thanks to her skin-tight and sheer ensembles - but she says she "doesn't give a f**k."

Kardashian took to her href="https://www.kimkardashianwest.com/" target="_blank">subscriber blog this week to discuss her "sheer vibes."

"I have always loved sheer - I just don't GAF, LOL," she wrote. ('GAF' is short for 'give a f**k.')

The au naturel look is a sharp turnaround for the reality TV star, who earlier this year confessed she taped down her breasts for the red carpet.

"I definitely had to share my tape secret with you guys!! It's my secret trick to have perfect cleavage in photos," she posted on her website.

"You tape them up so they are super lifted. It takes a little work but trust me it's all worth it LOL."

Kardashian added: "Make sure you don't have any lotion or oils on when you're lifting your boobs up with the tape ... just brace yourself for when it's time to take it off."

It seems that her impressive post-birth weight loss has been her inspiration to strip back her regular outfits and flash more flesh.

She has reportedly lost more than 70 lbs (31kg) using the Atkins diet, weighing in now at an impressive 124 lbs (56kg) - and clearly, she's keen to show off her hard work.
