Black Suede Ankle Boots

Mix suede with boots and you get a chic combination. Above, DYBT is featuring Black Suede Ankle Boots that are now on sale! Chic and Sale also has a nice ring to it!

The 4 inch Ankle Boots feature an upper fold over the boot and covered suede buttons. Pair these with your favorite skinny jeans and a cozy sweater.

Ruffle Wool Coat

The Ruffle Wool Coat and Black Button Ankle Boots are on sale as well. Both pieces are classic and can be worn in other winter seasons to come. I recommend these ankle boots to almost everyone. First of all, it is a heel which automatically elongates the body. Second, the shoe is not bulky and awkward. Your feet feel and appear smaller.

All figures will love wearing the Ruffle Wool Coat. The ruffle gives the simple coat a very modern and unique touch. The ruffle can be adjusted up or down depending on the look you want.

This Black & White Dress can also be worn with jeans as a tunic. For some, this piece may be too short so making it a tunic is a great alternative.

Finish out the winter in style and at half the cost. 30%-50% off winter blouses, jackets, cocktail dresses and boots. Shop online at DressYourBodyType.com.

Following up on Libbey Graham’s shopping day after being consulted by me, Jaylynn Perkins, her personal shopper.  The shopping day was long but productive. Below are just some of the outfits we settled on to jump-start her transition into adulthood.

Because of her age, Libbey does not have all the basic pieces in her closet that every woman should have. Such as your A-line black skirt, fitted khaki and black pants, tailor suit, etc. This being said I had to start fresh.

Black Signature Blazer with Lace top

Above Libbey is wearing a Lace Top from DressYourBodyType.com and Black Signature Blazer as a layer. We paired this with black straight leg pants, flats and a chunky bracelet.

Purple Plaid Shirt with Waist Belt

Libbey was very helpful in letting me know what she liked and what she did not. She expressed her concern of standing out amongst the crowd and we went from there. Picking out colors that are more anti-attention getters.

Deep, bold colors like royal blue and dark purple look great up against Libbey’s fair skin. So for the outfit above, I decided to put her in a button-up purple, plaid top. The deep purple mixed with plaid gives her an edgy side; yet, placing the belt at the waist gives a needed feminine touch. This is also paired with a chunky bracelet and straight leg pants.

After shopping all day at local stores and rummaging through the DressYourBodyType closet, Libbey and I felt we had accomplished the success of a new wardrobe and a new identity.

From the selections, I believe we reached our goal. I am so proud of our soon to be graduate!

The green ball fringed scarf is so fun and unique. Dress it up or down with jeans and boots. As shown above, looping the scarf helps flatter a busty or curvy figure.  Wearing chunky jewelry or scarves around the decollete draws the eye up and away for the busty section.

So, tonight I sat down with, 18 year old, Libbey Graham who will soon graduate from high school this coming spring. We discussed her transition into adulthood and how important it is to define your style during these difficult times.

Women go through many changes in their lifetime. Each time, it is important to examine not only your idenity but your closet.

Libbey is about to enter into one of the first transitions most of us go through. College Life! As most know or will know, this is a confusing time. However, I believe that if you enter full force with a well put together, identity driven outfit, you will be ahead of the game.

To accomplish this, Libbey and I gathered magazine clippings to see what looks caught our eyes. Most importantly, I was looking for figure flattering pieces. Since, she is a pear shape this was crucial to getting the right look.

Libbey was simply looking for what she liked. We had also discussed the image she wanted the world to see. We agreed that a more trendy yet sophisticated approach would be best for a high school graduate.  The cute tees and any thing too pink would have to go.

After looking through the images, we prioritized the shopping list.

These are a few things Libbey decided on:

1. The signature Skinny Jeans

2. The Boyfriend Jeans

3. Skinny Belts

4. Big Chunky Necklaces

5. Long and short Blazers

6. Long Cardigans

7. Empire waist dresses and tops

8. Slick leather boots

Stayed tuned for the big day of shopping…

Everyday millions of women across the country look into their closets and say, “What am I going to wear?” And most have little time to put deep thought into the perfect outfit for their here, there, everywhere lives. In a perfect world, we would wake up with clean bouncy hair, the dirty dishes would disappear, the kids would act like angels and we would walk out of the house looking like rock stars every morning.

But this isn’t a perfect world! However, that does not mean our wardrobe is hopeless.

When it comes to feeling great about ourselves, we have to embrace our positive attributes and recognize the latter. This too is applied to your outward appearance.

This is where DressYourBodyType comes in. Here you will discover your body type. By learning your true shape, you will know how to compliment your best features and disguise the other. You will learn Proportion Control and how to distinguish current trends for your body type. The body types I refer to are Busty, Pear Shape, Tall & Slim, Full & Curvy, Curvy Petite, and Petite. All this will make shopping easier and less of an emotional battle. In the end, you can truly transform your appearance.
