HIGHLIGHT YOUR BODY WITH HOW YOU DRESS, DON'T HIDE IT!

Every woman has a different body and every body is beautiful!  We can make big mistakes when dressing trying to hide the bits of our bodies that we dont like.  The key is to learn how to use clothes to accentuate and minimise different parts of our body, to create the right beautiful look for you, so you feel happy and confident in your skin.

When shopping you can play and experiment with proportions, depths, lines and contrasts.  It depends which parts of your figure you would like to emphasise.  Whether it is to make your bust look bigger or your hips look smaller, it is all possible with some guidelines and a little experimentation. 

To emphasise or enlarge a part of the body, here are some tips;  Show some skin, try body hugging fabrics, horizontal lines, lighter colors, use embrodered fabrics, large or interesting prints, layers or ruffles, bows, sparkly material and hemlines.

When you would like to minimise a part of the body, here are some tips; Use vertical lines, darker colours, body skimming tailoring,  smaller prints rather than larger and solid colours.  You can buy skirts that go out at the bottom, dresses that skim your curves but are loose fitting.

If you would like to appear bustier use clingy fabrics, and ruffly tops accentuate your bust.  Push up bras can work magic too.  If you would like to appear less busty you can wear something that calls attention to your bottom half, bright colours, prints, short skirts, wide skirt, jeans that accentuate your curves, tops that are not figure hugging.  Also if your hips are in proportion to your bust size you will look evenly distributed and therefore not bust heavy.  If your hips are smaller you can make the illusion of them looking larger, therefore more in proportion.

If you are short and would like to look taller you can wear suits that are slim, also invest in a tailored suit.  And of course heels.  You dont have to always wear amazingly high stilletos.  It helps to buy shoes with a bit of a heel to them.  Also shoes that are pointy always create illusion of a longer leg.  If you want to be shorter appearing of course flatter shoes help,  you can buy cute shoes with rounded front.  Large prints, clothes that dont cling and flow make you appear shorter.  Sometimes oversized shirts can make you appear shorter but you still want to look good! so be careful with that one.

You deserve to be a happy beautiful woman!

THE SALES OF THE SUMMER

There are great deals to be had at the stores right now, being the end of summer.  The clothing shops are wanting to push all their summer merchandise out the door to make room for fall. 
Great news for us who like beautiful clothes and to get good deals!

Be ready for next year with a few new dresses in your closet.  Wouldn't it be nice to have some beautiful new dresses to pull out when Memorial Day hits!
That being said I think it is a good idea to buy clothes that are timeless, so next year you wont get them out of your drawer and be disappointed. 

Another thing I realised is that a lot of summer dresses can be turned into winter dresses.  Add a pair tights or leggings, put on some sexy boots and Voila.  I think dresses that have some sleeves, have a heavier fabric and/or are just above the knee are perfect transitional dresses.

A great idea is to buy some discount dressy shorts and wear them with tights.  I think it looks super cool in fall.  Add a three quater length jacket and stretchy patterned tee.  HOT!

The bottom line is that clothes that normally have larger price tags are going for cheaper.  That will make your bottom line look great and you looking great as well!!!!!!!  I think we should take advantage of the end of seasons because it is the best time to buy.  We are always ready to buy for the next season but if you wait a little longer, you can get the great bargains.
