"Body Shape… Perfect Fit" [Diamond]

I’m really excited to discuss the next two body shapes, Diamond and Oval. I’ll be honest; the reason is because I fit into their category.  Another reason is because not that many people really talk about us curvy women. So, let’s get started with Diamond.



Diamond body type has shoulders that are narrower than your hips. Your waist is larger than your bust and hips, with small to medium breast and a flat buttock and you carry some weight in your upper legs. With a Diamond shape it is important to pay attention to your upper body because you tend to gain weight mainly in your stomach and hips, which makes your waist not very defined.



As a Diamond body type your best assets are shapely lower legs and beautiful arms. So, if you’re a Diamond shape remember these… one... balance your bust and shoulder with your waist and two…. adding curves to your upper body is important.

Ok, now what is the best clothing to buy?

Your tops should be:
  • Wide V or U Neck
  • Off the shoulder
  • Boat Neck
  • Structured shoulders and Embellishments
  • Nipped waist

Your bottom should be:
  • Dark colored pants or skirts
  • A-line Skirt
  • Straight Skirt

 Your dresses should be:
  • Empire waist dresses
  • Maxi

Your jackets should be:
  • Tailored hip length
  • Box shape also hip length

Extra tip: When picking your pants and skirts make sure they fall from the widest part of your hip plus, your pants should have simple pockets.

COLOR- Not afraid.........Just Confused (YOUR COLOR STORY)



Hey divas, on my last post, Just Confused, we talked about what colors match. Today, I want us to talk about how to tell your story.

Part of telling your color story is to know which colors work with each season. Warm colors are Red-Violet, Red, Red-orange, Orange, Yellow-orange, and Yellow. These hues represent energy and activity; they are mostly fashionable in Fall/Winter. Cool colors are Violet, Blue-violet, Blue, Blue-green, Green, Yellow-green (pastel colors). These hues are calm and soothing; they are mostly fashionable in Spring/Fall.


Warm colors have brightness that jumps out, whereas the cool color brightness is reduced. If you want to tell a story of bold strength go bright, ex: Red and Yellow.  Now, in case bold statements are just not your thing, take a cool color like a blue shirt then add a neutral color blazer.  Still, if you're weary of color, you can introduce it little by little. Accessorizing is great, this will give you that pop you are looking for.
