Always remember to how to dress your shape, Just because you’re not a size 26.30 etc, doesn’t mean you can’t wear the latest and hottest fashions. The most important thing that you can do when it comes to your body is to simply analyze it and then come to a conclusion. Look at your body as a whole and ultimately determine what shape you really are. Once you’ve figured that out, you can now start dressing for your shape. Don’t put on skinny jeans just because they’re the fad, since they might not look right on your shape. So here are 4 different shapes your body can do by - find out what yours is.
1.Apple shaped bodies are obviously round, therefore you might have a rounder middle. To take the focus off of your mid-section, wear an empire top with a V-neck that will pull the eye upward to the thinnest part of the torso. If you’re proud of your legs, show them off in a short skirt or a hot pair of jeans and a high heel.
2.Pear shape: If you’re larger on the bottom than on the top, wear darker bottoms and lighter tops. Pants that are cut full in the leg will help to conceal your junk. To draw attention to your better half, wear a top with structured shoulders.
3.Ruler shaped bodies have a straight physique and they require some curves. Cinch a dark belt around your waist or wear a ruched top to add some volume to your bust. You can also layer a shrunken jacket over a larger top to create.
4.Hourglass shape: You can emphasize your small waist in a fitted top. An A-line wrap dress will bring attention to your narrow middle, while skimming your hips and bust without accentuating.
Some Advice: How to shop like a pro....
Here are some great sale strategies you can adopt every time you go shopping!
Major chain stores are a great way to find what you’re looking for at a great price. Because they have more merchandise, it’s more likely that more stuff will be on sale since they need to make room for new merchandise!
Check inventory if you can’t find your size. Bummed out they don’t have your size? Most stores will order whatever item you want in another size, free too!
Keep your receipts! Most major stores will give you price adjustments if the item you purchased was not on sale. All you have to do is bring in your receipt on the day of the sale and voila, you get some of your money back!
Inquire about return policy. Big retailers are pretty lenient when it comes to returns, but small boutiques aren’t very forgiving. So think carefully before buying from a store that won’t let you return or adjust the price!
Wrong-sized items aren’t so bad. A lot of stores will have different sizes at a cheaper price than the popular sizes, but if an item is too big on you buy it anyways. You can get it tailored for very cheap!
Be friendly to the salesperson. Once you go in there a few times, you’ll have a friend in retail and she can alert you of upcoming sales or any other inside tricks and tips on how you can save more money!
Now here is a list of items you should keep in mind when shopping. These articles will help you broaden your wardrobe while making them very versatile
So get on the fashion wagon with me and come experience the trip of a life time.
Lets Begin our journey...enjoy !!!

My only problem is that i leave in a small town that has limited one of a kind things.
