STYLE - Specific To Your Life & Essence

We are all beautifully unique, thus our style should be uniquely our own as well. Thank goodness we get to wear clothes! They enable us to display our true essence—be seen as we wish to be seen. More than just coverings for the body, our clothes help reflect who we are, what we want, and how we feel about ourselves. They can be used to enhance our body positives and optically reshape our not-so-positives. And the best part— the way it makes you feel knowing you are presenting the best you!

Does My Butt Look Big In These Jeans....No!

The right style of jeans can make you appear taller, younger and 10lbs thinner! A few tips for your next excursion to find the perfect pair of jeans:

Only opt for "skinny jeans" if you already are skinny--from head to toe! If you have curvy hips or slim hips and a rounder midsection, the skinny jeans will only accentuate your fuller area--fondly referred to as the "ice cream cone" effect.
A dark overall wash is most flattering. Remember any fading, whiskering or ornate detailing will instantly highlight that area of the body.
Back pockets should be in proportion to your back pocket area. 'nough said!
Have jeans hemmed as long as possible to add length to your legs. If you alternate between heels and flats, have at least 2 pair of jeans and hem accordingly.
To make the tush appear perkier, wear your jeans with heels. Really now, who doesn't want to be the long-legged hottie with the perky tush?!?!?!?
Invest in great fitting jeans. You will wear the jeans that look the best the most--considering cost-per-wear, great fit is well worth the investment!
