Tip #2 TOPS 

So here is the secret, When buying tops, think about using layers, which will create a fuller illusion on top creating some balance. A cardigan or a simple throw over is going to be your go to piece. For cooler weather, try cropped jackets that stop at the waist.  You should also be trying to wear a three-quarter sleeve, wide scoop necks, and one-shoulder tops. They will look fabulous! Trust me!  

Tip #3 BOTTOMS

Ok, so, your trick is a boot-cut pant, or a slight flare towards the end of the leg. This is especially good if you wear them with a heel to give your legs a little length. Jeans are tricky for anyone regardless of shape or size but try to go for dark, medium-rise jeans with simple stitching and pockets in the back. For skirts and dresses, try a classic A-line cut that falls softly over your curves and highlights your fabulous waist. Move away from pleated skirts and high waists; they are made to create your figure on other less curvy body types!       


Tip #4 BE BRAVE

Draw peoples eye and attention with bright colors and bold prints, embellishment and details on your upper body. Do not be afraid to wear a horizontal stripe (ON TOPS) Use large statement pieces of jewellery to draw the eye upwards, and experiment with pattern and print on the bottom but stick to darker colors.


TIP #5 WEAR YOUR CONFIDENCE

The sexiest, most flattering thing you can wear as a women is your confidence. Walk out your door every morning channeling your inner Beyonce! You will be noticed for all the right reasons.
