"From Work to Play" [What to Wear]

Waking up every morning trying to put together a trendy, sleek, professional look is sometimes really hard to do. It would be great if you can take this same outfit and transform it into the perfect happy hour or date night look. So, I want to share with you how to make it a little easier taking your work look to a play, because we all know that "all work and no play makes a diva a dull girl".

The cool thing about this is the pieces I’m going to suggest are clothing we have already discussed in the “Wearable Wednesday” and “20 Closet Basics” post. For a really stylish professional look try a print slouchy pants with a white/black lace button down shirt, black blazer. Accessorize it with some cream heal sandal, pink and silver faceted bead necklace and a boyfriend watch. 

Now, lets send this outfit into the play zone with some sex appeal and color. Keep the printed slouchy pants and the blazer, change into a royal blue U-neck open side tee, a block color high heels, a yellow leather clutch and a long link chain.

See… a fast & easy way to go from work to play….. J

"Body Shape… the Perfect Fit" [Inverted Triangle]

Hi everyone lets continue our discussion about our body shapes.  We have taken on Straight Body Type and Hourglass Body Type, now its time for Inverted Triangle Body Type.

Inverted Triangle body type, also known as Wedge, has a large bust and broad shoulders. You have narrow hips and a straight waist; your bottom may tend to be on the flat side. Wedge body types has to be careful because broad shoulders can give you a hard look.  If you gain weight the weight would show around your belly and upper body.

As an Inverted Triangle your asset is beautifully shaped legs and you are easy to style.  So, if you’re an Inverted Triangle remember two things… one defined your waist and two... pick clothing that softens your shoulders.

Ok, now what is the best clothing to buy?
