Summer Trend – Dare to Wear Shorts

Posted on May 30, 2011 in Body Confidence,Panties

Lauren by Ralph Lauren "Newbury"

Recently I was with a friend at an event and the keynote speaker was wearing shorts.  I could tell from the reaction from the audience that most women were in admiration of this divas confidence to wear them, and look good!  Let’s face it, it’s not the easiest item to wear especially if you have issues in the thigh area or even lower legs.

You would have a tendency to feel shy.  If you decide to welcome the trend, I say go girl, and an easy fit solution for challenges is a seamless, light weight boy short that lays flat on the leg and does not bind.  Don’t go with a long leg because you risk it showing.  Let the summer begin in style!

 

Play Clothes for Women

Tory Burch Cotton Voile Mini Dress

Weekend wear has become an increasingly popular category for designers.  Women want more than jeans and t-shirts.

Yummie Tummie YT3024

The woman who has a stylish angle to herself wants a dress that makes a statement and is comfortable for any occasion.  The mini dress has made a comeback.

You could even wear a pair of Capri leggings or a full slip under this one to give you a double wardrobe solution for summer.  So many options, what’s a girl to do?  Wear them all, of course!

 

Timeless Style …The Wrap Dress

Posted on May 26, 2011 in Body Confidence,Underwear We Love

“Terrazzo” by Diane Von Furstenberg

A fashion classic is defined as something that never goes out of style, and always looks good no matter the occasion.  The wrap dress that was created by Diane Von Furstenberg is synonymous with this definition.

Va Bien 1520

A wrap dress can make a woman look like a style icon in minutes!  Just add a bra slip for fit, and your ready to rock the party, the wedding or after five events with confidence.  Bella to the max…

The 70’s Reinvented – The Crochet Top

Posted on May 24, 2011 in Body Confidence,Bras We Love

The beat goes on with retro inspired clothing this season.  One of my favorites is the retro inspired tops from the 70’s that gave women a glamorous look without much effort.  The elongated bell sleeve and plunge neckline is super easy and comfortable for summer dressing solutions.  A nude bra would be a no brainer under a white top.  Try something new divas.

Wacoal 851143

This year bras are meant to be seen (within reason of course).  I would compliment the top with a lace bra that looks like a camisole even though it’s not.  That is the point of a beautiful bra, they are made to be seen with the “right” outfit.  Glamour has no limits this summer.  Go retro!

 

Summer Style Trends: It’s Chic to Wear the Sheath

Posted on May 23, 2011 in Uncategorized

Donna Karan A11P309H19

Summer dressing this season is flirty, fun, and fluid.  The major trend is to be “loose” and free.  It’s about layers and the draping affect of the fabrics on top.  It looks wonderful, but as we know you can have some challenges when it comes to making that work with your body type.

DKNY 0B277

Here is an easy solution fit solution.  Purchase a shaping tank with thin straps that will double as a liner and shapewear (Great fitting bra required ladies).  Just add a boy short below, and voila you’re smooth as silk.  What I really love about this is that you don’t have additional bulk or girth to add to your outfit. It’s light, and it flows.

DKNY 0B282

If you’re fuller fit, a pant liner on the bottom will smooth out the hips and thighs.  Go sexy and sheath this summer!

 

Jump into Summer

Posted on May 16, 2011 in Body Confidence

Michaels Kors T34GY

Retro inspired clothing is a favorite of many women this season. The cool and hip styles bring back memories of the 70’s and 80’s. Today, the style has a modern twist with no straps. For most of us we would be a little intimidated to wear it, but thank goodness for bodywear that shape, and lift us up!

Shape 21 Dr. Rey

I would pair a one piece strapless suit that helps to elongate the torso and make the jumper look lean and mean. Celebrate summer in style!

How to Wear a Pencil Skirt – No Lines, promise…

Posted on May 13, 2011 in Body Confidence

The skirt is making a major comeback this season as a staple for any woman’s closet. When I was in New York recently, every flagship designer store had a skirt in the window paired with a chic, sleek blouse. It’s a classic look that never goes out of style. It gets tricky when wearing something that fits close to the body like a pencil skirt.

Wacoal 808123

I recommend a shaper that goes high and eliminates the mid section and sculpts the hip line in order to showcase the skirt, not your “issues”. Can I wear a pencil skirt if I am plus size? Absolutely, it’s about the solution, not the size. Shapewear has been designed to be fashion friend. Step out of the comfort zone and showcase fabulous you!

The New Power Suit

Posted on May 11, 2011 in Uncategorized

Doncaster M160JK38WHI

In the 80’s and 90’s, the business suit for women was the traditional black and navy structured jacket skirt.  Today’s style is strong, sophisticated, luxurious and savvy.  The key to wearing a great suit is the fit.  The skirt and the jacket must be in complete harmony with the way it flows on your body otherwise it can look “rigid” and not fluid.  Many women complain that the fit is just too tight and not comfortable regardless of the size.  This is due to the way the suit is designed and structured.

The Body Wrap 47200

One of the easiest ways to get a handle on this issue is to wear a shapewear slip.  You’re covered from top to bottom.  If you feel confined, then a biker short that hits above the hem line is another option. Fit Advice:  Try to make sure you always try on a shaper to see if it moves with you before wearing for an extended time.  Cheers, to your next promotion!

 

The Dress for Success

Doncaster M165DR01CRI

When getting dressed for work, it’s very easy to get stuck into a routine.  We can pull out our favorite jacket, pants or skirt.  The dress is making a comeback as a new fashion staple that can add life and vitality to your working wardrobe.

TC 4019

In addition, it’s the ultimate celebration of being a woman in business.  It’s classy, and speaks to our feminine power.  When you’re wearing the right fit solutions, the dress can make a woman’s confidence soar.   I encourage women to wear a high waist brief to create a smooth line from the midriff to the thigh.   Add a dress to your spring and summer work wardrobe for success.

 

Dare to Wear White

Posted on May 2, 2011 in Body Confidence

Doncaster M165CM11IVO

If you have been reading the fashion magazines, then you know that white is a sure fire hit!  It’s being paired with black and or vibrant hues.

TC 4317

White from head to toe has been the most popular so far this season with a pop of color in your bag or jewelry.  Over the years, I have seen women shy away from the basic because of the fear of fit or figure challenges.  This year, don’t be in fear, equip yourself with basic bodywear and shapewear gear that will eradicate and smooth any fit challenge. 

TC Fine Shapewear 444

On the top of the list, a pant liner can smooth you from the waist to the ankle. Pants are THE hottest trend right now.  On the top, conceal and control your rolls with a shapewear camisole.  These two items combined make wearing white fun and fearless.   Go forth!
