Dressing your body shape…
Hi all welcome back to my blog I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe, It’s a new topic for my blog today I want to talk about, and it’s how to dress your body shape. This is something I really struggled with in the past. I use to hate shopping until I got some good advice and started to look at clothes differently, I looked for clothes that enhance my figure and colors that were in my color palette that compliments my skin tone and hair color. Once I figure those basic things out shopping became fun again and I enjoy it. Your body shape is almost entirely based on your bone structure, not your weight, that’s very important to remember.
So this is just a beginner guide to the different types of body shapes and their definitions so you can find what matches yours and some tips on what shape clothes work best to enhance and flatter your figure.
