FLATTER YOURSELF

Hey There Fashion Lovers! 

What's not to love about the right dress? Go ahead and flatter yourself! It's innate femininity can be an instant mood lifter for you and they are a quick fix to fabulousness! It's all about the add-ons. Curvy, short, boyish, small or full bust there is the right style to showcase your shape best, to have you looking totally pulled together and polished. This twenty something year old gal is feeling flirty, sophisticated, confident and having fun with this wrap style dress that flatters many shapes. 

Most dresses are versatile. Want to dress it up? Dress it down? Dressing your dress requires add-ons. With that said, if you do feel like mixing it up, you can show off your personal style. What you put over or under your dress can transform it. Add a blazer, add a cardigan, add a leather jacket your choice. Accessorizing with flats, boots, sandals, or heels can take a simple dress and make it look casual, dressy, tough or elegant. A dress with a clean neckline can show off a statement necklace, and a loose shape can be cinched with an eye-catching belt. 

Knowing your shape and learning how to dress to accentuate your best features is the most important thing in how you dress. There is no such thing as the perfect body type. Girls who are petite want to be tall. The tall ones want to be tiny. The curvy ones want to be flat, and vice versa. Instead of obsessing over what you're not, why not realize that you are who you are and make the most of what you've got? Again...no boby's perfect. 

Flatter yourself by dressing your best! Here are a few simple rules to keep in mind. 

1. Call attention to the parts you really like. If you love your legs, wear a loose fitting top and slim fitting jeans or a short skirt. 

2. Use color to your advantage. Brightly colored clothes makes parts stand out, while dark colored clothes helps them hide a little. 

3. Super cheap clothes never last. It's great to grab a bargain but sometimes better to spend a little bit more. 

4. The neater your clothes are the better. Pay attention to the fit, fabric and proportion. Whenever clothing pulls or buckles, it not only looks sloppy, it also adds pounds. A good fit means that clothes skim the body showing curves without clinging to them and all the details should lie flat. Also check the quality, weight and movement of the fabric. Stay away from stiff, boxy or too thin or shiny that may cling or add pounds. Flattering your figure is not just about camouflage and diversion it's also about balance. The length of your legs to your torso and the width of your shoulders to your hips. These things matter!

Remember your style is your story!
