SPRINGTIME TRENDS YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS

Well hello there!

Today I have another fashion related collaboration post, I hope you have been enjoying the few I have been doing! Today's post is all about Spring time trends that we feel like you need to know about.

The winter months are drawing to a close and that means one thing - springtime fashion! Gone are the days where we have to wrap up in heavy winter coats and out come the days where we can finally show a bit of skin. One dilemma you may be facing is what to wear when the spring finally hits, so we’ve compiled a quick guide on springtime trends we think you’ll love and definitely won’t want to miss out on!

Transparency

One trend that we’re loving right now is the exposed briefs look. You may have seen Mel B rocking a super sexy transparent dress on America’s got talent last year and even though that was in 2018, the look is still trending! As long as you’re not wearing granny knickers we’re sure that you’ll be able to rock that look just like Mel B did! It doesn’t have to be only dresses either, as you can capture this look with shirts and tank tops.

Accessorizing!

One thing that will absolutely never go out of fashion is accessorizing your outfits. The difference that popping on a chunky necklace and bangle can make to an outfit is incredible. However, we’re noticing that recently, many of our favourite celebrities are accessorizing with simple and bolder add-ons like their rings. Did you know that you can now tailor your ring to your preference, size, and even budget? This article explains more https://yourdiamondguru.com/reviews/blue-nile/. We think it’s the perfect way to finish off an outfit!

Polka dots

Polka dots have never disappeared off the fashion scene for too long and boy, aren’t we glad that they are back! They are a perfect way of adding a bold statement to your outfits and honestly, they are super cutesy!

Denim, denim, and more denim

The trusty jeans and a t-shirt will never go out of fashion, and that’s why we love that denim is hitting the runways at the moment. Dark denim especially is making it's way to the spotlight and it’s super easy to get hold of. Another bonus? We get to be super fashionable simply by wearing a pair of jeans!

Asymmetrical necklines

Finally, asymmetrical necklines are making their way onto the runways at the moment and we absolutely love them. The idea of flashing a bit of shoulder or collar bone is the perfect way to enter the springtime in style!

So those are some Springtime trends we feel like you won't want to miss out on.

YOU CAN BE THAT WOMAN THAT PULLS OFF ANY OUTFIT!

Well hello there!

Today I have a collaboration post for you, to show that you can indeed pull off any outfit.

Don’t we all envy that woman who can look amazing in any outfit? It doesn’t matter what shape, size, or colour it is; she can pick it up and rock the hell out of it. Then, we come along with our massive list of outfit no-goes. It can be both humiliating and exhausting, and you'd do anything to pick clothes without it being such a hard decision.

In reality, ‘that woman’ is often an illusion. Even if someone’s outfit choices seem effortless, the chances are that they aren’t. We ALL have limitations. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. If you want to be the woman who can wear it all, you can be. All you need to do to l is consider how to address those limitations. These vary, of course, so I can’t help you with every obstacle. What I can do is consider ways around the most common ones. Then, you’ll be free to apply the same rules to your unique issues. Before you know it, every outfit in that clothes store will become an option for you.

The ‘wrong’ colour

Most often, we all have a colour which we won’t go near. You know how it goes. The moment you put this shade near you, it turns your whole face a ludicrous colour. No matter how often you try, you can’t get it to suit you. But, did you know that issues like these are often to do with nothing more than your makeup choices? If you can’t go near orange, for example, it’s possible that you’re using a foundation or lipstick colour which doesn’t compliment. Play around with different shades of makeup. Try wearing lipsticks with pink or red tones. Just like that, you open up a whole new colour palette for yourself.

The boob conundrum

Our boobs often cause us issues when it comes to fashion. Whether they’re large or small, they can leave us unable to consider various outfits. But, again, this doesn’t need to be your fate. Never underestimate the power of a decent bra. Big boobs are often harnessed well with a proper underwire. Equally, padding can fill out the flattest chest in a low cut dress. Only in extreme cases, surgical options like those offered by Dr Tavakoli could broaden your outfit horizons no end. So, think twice next time you rule out an outfit on account of your chest and just go for it!

Your body shape

Last, we all have different body shapes. The chances are that you know whether you’re a pear or an apple etc. You probably think you know which shapes work on you. But, these safety nets are often false illusions. The fact is that every outfit is different. You shouldn’t avoid tight trousers because of your pear shape. You don’t need to forget about dresses if you’re an apple. Step outside your comfort zone, and use the dressing room for its intended purpose. You may come to consider outfits you wouldn’t have looked twice at before.

I hope this helps you step out of your comfort zone and shows that you can indeed pull off any outfit! All women should never feel like they cannot wear something because someone else to you 'looks better' in it. Go for it!

DAY 7: HOW FASHION CAN HELP YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF

Well hello there!

Today I have a collaboration post to advise you on how fashion can help you express yourself.

Fashion is art. There are those who might criticize it. You might consider finding new jewellery you love, or purchasing an expensive coat you’ve saved up for, or applying a new makeup palette to be the height of narcissism. It’s instructive to see what happens to these people when they are given an outfit that makes them feel beautiful, confident or think of themselves in a more positive light. The beauty of fashion is that it gives us a chance to express ourselves. It can also be a good marker of how we feel about ourselves at a given time. This doesn’t mean you need to dress in the most expensive or elaborate of outfits in order to feel yourself. But the condition of your clothing, its fit, and how you wear it, can say a lot about your personality. There are no right answers, only how you feel.

But how might you express yourself? In this fun post, I have collected a few opinions and attitudes related to personal freedom in fashion, and hope to inspire you to curate your own. Feel free to add some of these suggestions to your Christmas shopping list!

Funky

Funky fashion is the bedrock of expressing yourself. Might it be adding a little more of the punky attitude you hold within to your actual wardrobe help you show your most feisty self? This could be achieved through beautiful nose jewellery or finding beautiful high boots, or even hair arrangements and apparel. Sometimes we just need to show that we respect ourselves, and a little funky flair can help you do so. No matter how you think of yourself, it’s likely you have a little bit of confidence in you. Finding this through fashion can open the floodgates to this, and help you relax in yourself as you deserve to.

Professional

It might be worth upgrading your professional wardrobe. You may decide to opt for more professional wear, such as purchasing glasses for work, proud blazers and even find a hairstyle to best complement your morning routine to show that you are someone with an inner competence to be respected. Dressing as an executive woman can be powerful, and show that you’re not there to mess around. Be sure to wear nice, well fitted garments no matter what, and you’ll look presentable, sharp and ready to take names.

Radiant

Sometimes you just need to shine like a diamond. You might decide to purchase lingerie to the level you’re comfortable, or simply decide to wear more bold jewellery. It can also be effective to consider your makeup schedule, perhaps trying a new palette from a beauty influencer, or give yourself room to find your best tanning solution. Radiance means difference things to different people, but as far as I'm concerned whatever makes you shine is worth a look-in.

I am certain that with a little patience, a little care and a little experimentation, you can enjoy all of the tips in this list to the highest degree.

So there you have it, I hope this posts helps you on how you can express yourself.
