Need help with Pencil Skirts?

Are you wanting to know what pencil skirts would look best for your body shape?

 I am going to give you some ideas that may help you.

Do you have:

- A Hourglass Figure?

• Choose a slim (but not tight) fit that follows the contours of the body. Go for a style that hits at or below the belly button. 
• High wasted skirts tend to bring focus to the bust and shorten the waste. with an hourglass figure, you want to accentuate but also proportion out your curves so one doesnt look at one section of your figure. You want them to look at the whole canvas.

- Fuller Hips?

• Make sure the skirt tapers, but just a bit. You dont want to have a skirt that goes straight down the hips because you dont want to get a "box" effect. If it is too tapered, you can look more like a lightbulb. 
• Pick a solid (more dark) color that is in cotton or lightweight wool that has stretch so you dont get uncomfortable. 
• Avoid bulky fabrics and to accentuate the slimmest part of your body, add a belt and wear a tucked in button up or nice cardigan or blouse to add attention to your slim waist.

- A Straight Figure?

• Try a fitted, tapered cut in a pattern or a thick fabric to make the bottom half look more curvy.
• Add a peplumed or ruffled jacket to add a more curvy affect to you attire or add a belt to make the illusion of an hourglass figure
• Wear a form fitting top that will have the focal point be your waist or bust.

- A Tummy?

• Select a style with a wide waistband to hold in the stomach. 
• Keep the midsection free of eye-catching details, even belts, belt loops, pockets, etc.
• Add a flowy top and even a jacket over the top to hide parts of the body you dont want people to see. But make sure the jacket is fitted because you dont want to make yourself look bigger than you are.

What I Do:

I have a curvier body shape with a bigger bust and bigger hips and butt so I always try to accentuate my waste with a belt because it is the smallest part of my body and although I like embracing my curves, I have found it I dont do things to accentuate my curves, I look bigger than I am, especially in pictures. So I wear both flowy and more form fitting tops but I always like to add a belt to my looks because not only does it add your own personal style, it also is doing something for my body shape. I am all about proportioning my short, more curvy figure!

A weekend of fun! Look of the day

 I am so happy & excited about this Look of the Day because it is from friends of mine from the [east coast] that I used to study in Italy with! We had so much fun in Italy together and I also got the privilege to visit them at their school in Providence, RI this last November. We always have a blast and these ladies dress to impress, ALWAYS! Here are some things they chose for the weekend:

I got a text from Sara this weekend showing me what she is wearing out and this is what she chose. She always looks so classy and sophisticated in whatever she wears. She wore a pencil skirt with black nylons, blouse and shoes. Never can go wrong with black! Then she accented her outfit with a aqua color beaded necklace. Such a great combination of colors and choice of attire. The high wasted pencil skirt is great because it will lengthen the look of her legs and will give her that hourglass figure that every girl desires. 


Not sure what type of pencil skirt you should wear?? Stay tuned and I will help you!

Leah went casual with skinny jeans and a button up blouse with black pumps. Perfect for any night out occasion. As you can see the shirt is sheer and see through, which gives the some flare for the night out. Sexy!

Here is the final look of the night. Before leaving, Sara added a textured brown jacket that compliments the color of her outfit very well! The girls look great and look like they are ready for some fun!

"Friends Forever"

It's Warm in Minnesota Today!

It's so warm (compared to other days) in MN today that I even got to take my heavy winter jacket off! 

What a great feeling!

It reminded me of Spring, oh how I love Spring, and decided to do a look of the day inspired by Spring and anything [warm and tropical].

That brings my mind to Barcelona, Spain, when my friends and I were there vacationing and it was one of the most beautiful places. 

Check it out:

One of the most [FUN & Beautiful] places I have ever been.

The outfit that was inspired by this place was a pretty sun dress I wore one day:

A beautiful design with an open back and bright color... Perfect for Spain! It was comfortable and it just flew with the wind. It matches nice with a tan skin tone and dark hair.

Loved this outfit! 

What do you think?

What would you wear on a beautiful day in Spain.

Happy [Warm-er] Thursday! :)

Lost Another Pound!

Hey Everyone!

I wanted to share that in just 2 days, I have lost another half a pound. I have lost 7.5 pounds since I have started (I started after Christmas) . My jeans are fitting more loose now, and also my waist has been getting smaller. 

As you know I am using Weight Watchers, and the program is awesome.

When I first started though, I wasn't losing like I thought I would and I realized it was because, since I am not overweight, it takes more for me to lose then just eating better. So I increased my workouts and ever since I have been seeing consistant results. Interested in trying? I totally recommend it! 

My foods that I have eaten today thus far:

Morning: I was on the go go go!, so I grabbed a FiberOne120 bar and 2 clementines. ( Its always good to eat a fruit of veggie with each meal because it adds fiber and helps digest your food better!)

Always drink lots and LOTS of water!

Afternoon (around noon- one): Since today is my long day at school, its hard to bring my own lunch. So since I only ate 1 of my clementines this morning, I added it to lunch, because fruit and veggies are really good for weight watchers. I have done a lot of research on restaurants and what I can eat at each place. (totally recommended to do this if you are really trying to lose weight!)

So I went to [Panera Bread] because their Cream of Chicken Wild Rice Soup fits in my allowed points perfectly! Its SUPER filling too so its perfect for a day that you wont get a lot of time to sit down and have proper meals. 

Panera Bread is good, too, because it has free WiFi so on my school breaks, I can continue to do my hw in an environment I enjoy. (I love the smell of freshly baked bread, hehe). 

For later: I am sure this meal will hold me over for quite some time, but because I will be on the go until late tonight, I have packed some pistachios and celery for later. I love celery! Its perfect with a little bit of peanut butter to add more flavor. (but I didnt bring any today)

Tonight, I am going to end my day with a nice workout at LA fitness.

40 minutes cardio (split)

Today is the day to work legs for me, so bring on the lunges!

How did my day sound? Thanks for following me on my journey! :)

Happy [Tuesday] Everyone! 

Look of the Day: Color Fun!

Look of the Day is featuring my best friend, Michelle! 

What do you think?

Michelle was wearing this outfit last week sometime and I just loved it! The first photo (left) is the colors she was wearing but I showed her she could wear so many colors with this outfit if she wanted to! Such a simple outfit but adding the extra touches like a small waste belt and flats or boots made this outfit look so much more detailed and Fashion Forward! Great thing to wear out shopping or to school or anywhere that is a casual setting! Looks great Chelly!

***Leave comments saying where you would where this! What do you like/ dislike about this outfit? ***

Happy [Tuesday] Everyone!
