Dressing For Your Body Type

It's quite disturbing to see how many women are not comfortable with their bodies. I was dressing a client at work, and she wanted to wear a miniskirt with thigh-high boots. She tried on a ton and finally said, "Ewww...I look disgusting. I don't want to try on anything else." The point is that many women don't embrace their bodies because they don't know how to dress for their body type. Every woman is not a size 2, and that's ok! Slim, tall, shapely, petite..there is something for everyone that will make people say, "wow."

If you know that you're going shopping for something important like your birthday outfit, come prepared to try on clothes, meaning have your hair neat and bring your body shaper if necessary! It's so easy to get caught up in not looking put together, that you can't envision yourself in the garment.

Secondly, don't just try on one or two things...give yourself options! You'll discover what hemlines you prefer, what necklines are most flattering, and what materials are best. Also, know that the hanger doesn't do all garments justice. Give it a try!

Lastly, don't be afraid to ask the sales associate for help! They know what the store has to offer, and hopefully, some style knowledge as well. They get paid to help, so let them! On that same note, just because it is someone's job doesn't mean that you should be rude or demanding in any way. Show respect, get respect.

And as always, come see me at Akira-Water Tower (4th floor). We have a ton of great merchandise, and I'd love to style you up! See you soon...
