Which Neckline Is Best For Me?

The right neckline can definitely enhance you natural body shape. It can make you look slimmer and more put together. Once you know which neckline works best for you,  you naturally look for that type of top when you go shopping.

Crewneck - This classic style is very easy to find. It doesn't necessarily flatter everyone.  This look is best if you have a small or medium size bust and an average or long neck.  Steer clear if you have a larger bust or shorter neck because it can make you look bigger and shorter.

V-Neck - This is a great style. It flatters everyone!  Small bust, large bust, short neck, long neck. This style enhances every ones natural assets.  If you are bigger on top try a narrower v-neck. If you are smaller go for a wider neckline.

Scoopneck - Similar to a V-neck. This style flatters a larger bust because it shows more neck and upper chest. It makes the bust appear smaller. Don't forget a demi cut bra. If you go for a full coverage bra you run the risk of having your bra peek through.
Boatneck - This neckline is very feminine and makes any top even a t-shirt a little more dressy. It works best with a smaller bust and longer neck. Add an accessory to finish the look. Don't forget to wear a bra with straps that hit at the end of the shoulder or go for a strapless bra.

Remember long lines like a v-neck make things appear smaller.  A crewneck or boatneck makes things appear wider.

Happy shopping!

Can I really wear a jumpsuit?

Of course you can!

Jumpsuits were all the rage at recent spring fashion shows.  You don't have to be a stick figure to pull it off but some tips will definetly help you not look like you are wearing a baby onesie.

Treat a jumpsuit like a dress. Top it off with a blazer for a polished look or a belt to break up the look.

Don't do head to toe pattern. It will look to busy and totally 80's.

Choose a wide leg pant and a forgiving fabric like jersey to help you conceal any part you are not totally confident about.

There are many varieties from simple black for a night out look to a casual cotton daytime look.

Finish off with a great platform heel or a nice wedge to finish off the look.

Don't forget the jewelry. The open neckline is perfect for a long necklace to compliment the look.

Happy Shopping!
