Embrace Color

If you prefer darker colors like black, gray and navy, because of the slimming effect, it is time to embrace color. So step out of your comfort zone and incorporate color pieces into your outfits.

Prints that flatter your figure

Do not over layer, even if you feel you need just one more layer to hide your shape, don’t. Keep it light, comfy and cute.

Do not be afraid of trends, so if the trend is off-the-shoulder, then wear it, nothing is stopping you.

Show off your best bits, so if it is your legs then flaunt it!!

Don’t you love it when fashion trends come back around? This 90’s throwback was recently featured in a number of designer’s collections during showcased tops and dresses with cold shoulder silhouettes NYFW for Spring 2016.

And now the cold-shoulder trend has graced us with its presence, and it just so happens to be the perfect way to ease yourself into showing a little skin during this changeable weather we are currently experiencing since you can keep the rest of your arms coverer.

Do you dare to bare (shoulders) this summer?

This season loves the bardot style - the off-shoulder. Whether you're going somewhere fancy, or just hanging out with friends, there's pretty much a bardot suitable for every occasion.

The off - shoulder style is definitely flattering; but if you don't enjoy baring all shoulders and collar bone, you can opt for ones that hang on the hinges of the shoulders or the cut out styles.

What's your favourite bardot style?
