Tip of the Day: Fake the Body You Want!

Wishing you had a little more 
va-va in your va-va-voom? 
Not everyone is blessed with a great rack or a J-Lo-esque bootie.

This is when a little ruffle, gather or detailing can go a long way to help you create the shape you want.

The great thing about this tip 
is it also works in reverse. 

A well-placed embellishment can disguise figure flaws, drawing the eye away or strategically masking "problem" areas.

And contrary to some of the information out there, you don't always need to don black if curvy.

An all-over pattern is great at confusing the eye, not giving it any one place to land which can benefit a variety of body types.

What to accentuate or where to distract. 
Something to consider when buying your next dress.

Tip of the Day: Tops as Dresses

An oversized top or your man's shirt—depending on its length and your height—can be repurposed and worn as a dress or tunic. 

Love this: Photo from: preciousmodesty.blogspot.com

The two MUST-Follow rules: 
1. Know what length looks  best on you.
2. Make sure it doesn't look like a shirt worn as a dress!
