I was a manager at a well known store in my area for a while and I’m not even exaggerating when I say there was not ONE girl that could pick up only one pair of jeans, try them on for a coupe minutes and know right away that these were the jeans for them. It’s more like she ends up trying on at least 20. K, maybe not 20 but there has been women who have tried on that many and left with nothing! Ooo the perks of working in retail…UGH!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">My point is it’s REALLY hard and stressful to shop for jeans for a lot of girls!!! If your one that isn’t sure exactly what flatters your body shape, you’re not alone. Here are some tips everyone should know when shopping for jeans for the shape. Fallow them and you will be feeling more confident and sexy in your jeans, I PROMIS! ;) <br />

</ul><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l4 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list .5in;">typically gain weight in the lower half of you body (below waist)</li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Apple or Diamond Figure:</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list .5in;">smaller hips</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l2 level1 lfo3; tab-stops: list .5in;">larger upper body</li>

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Ruler Figure: </div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l3 level1 lfo4; tab-stops: list .5in;">slim or waif-like </li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l3 level1 lfo4; tab-stops: list .5in;">no large differences in hips, waist, shoulders or bust line.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l3 level1 lfo4; tab-stops: list .5in;">tend to gain weight in stomach while arms and legs usually stay slender</li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">You may not fall exactly into one category. There a re a lot of factors like genetics that could alter you shape. For example I’m a petite (small framed) hourglass figure, however because of the genes I get from my momma I typically gain weight in my stomach while my lower half always stays slim, so if I gain weight I’m more like a mix of a hourglass and a little bit of an apple… know what I mean? Haha </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Tips for my fellow hourglass ladies!</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l5 level1 lfo5; tab-stops: list .5in;">Super low rise are a big NO! Why? Because you will most likely have bigger hips and maybe some weight in that area liiiike… love handles!! You will want to keep them in, not hanging out creating the infamous muffin top! AH!!! Trust me girls all low rise jeans will do is make your hips look bigger than they are and that’s a no no!</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l5 level1 lfo5; tab-stops: list .5in;">High waisted looks good IF you are a) tall, 5’5 or above OR b) on the skinny side but I suggest wearing an cute heel if you are shorter. This is because high waisted bottoms are meant to elongate your legs however they emphasize your waistline, so you if you are below 5’5 and have some width on your midsection high waisted jeans are only going to make you look shorter and heavier. But on the contrary if you are taller and have some width to your midsection then high waisted jeans aren’t going to make you look heavier but actually slimmer because of your height.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l5 level1 lfo5; tab-stops: list .5in;">Jeans that go up to or just below your belly button are your best friend! I know they are mine ;) Basically you just want them to cover your hips not cut them off.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l5 level1 lfo5; tab-stops: list .5in;">Skinny jeans if you are on the lower weight end of the scale.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l5 level1 lfo5; tab-stops: list .5in;">Boot cut if you’re on the curvier end of the weight scale. They will slim you and lengthen your legs. </li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Tips for the Pear chicks!</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l6 level1 lfo6; tab-stops: list .5in;">Darker wash jeans always! As a pear shape you want to slim your bottom half so just always remember that darker colors are slimming and lighter add some width. So it’s probably better to stay away from the white. Although the lighter colors will look great on top! Kind of think of it as a balancing act your smaller on top and bigger on the bottom therefore you want you brights on top and your darks on bottom :) </li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l6 level1 lfo6; tab-stops: list .5in;">Boot cut jeans are great! They will slim and elongate your legs while also balancing your top half with your bottom</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l6 level1 lfo6; tab-stops: list .5in;">Higher waistline no low rise because again like an hourglass figure you most likely have wider hips</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l6 level1 lfo6; tab-stops: list .5in;">Try to stay away from skinny jeans because the cut you at the bottom therefore making your hips, calves, and thighs look bigger, we don’t want that we want balance :) </li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l6 level1 lfo6; tab-stops: list .5in;">Heels under you boot cut jeans will slim you and elongate your legs even more!!</li>

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Tips for my Apple lovelies!</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l7 level1 lfo7; tab-stops: list .5in;">Flares! They will balance you out since you most likely are curvier on top but have slimmer legs. </li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l7 level1 lfo7; tab-stops: list .5in;">Boot cut will also look well on you if you are on the smaller end of the scale</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l7 level1 lfo7; tab-stops: list .5in;">No skinnnies! They will make your top half appear larger. </li>
</ul><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Tips for the lucky rulers!</div><ul style="margin-top: 0in;" type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo8; tab-stops: list .5in;">ANYTHING! Because you are most likely thin with very little or no curves you don’t need to worry about balance when it comes to jeans and you can wear mostly any jean.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-list: l1 level1 lfo8; tab-stops: list .5in;">If you want something to give the elusion of curves go for a flared jean… it will give your body more shape and volume.</li>

</div><div class="MsoNormal">Another tip for all figures is embracing your shape! The more comfortable you are in your skin the sexier you are and that’s the TRUTH! There are studies of men choosing a curvier girl over the skinnier girl because her confidence was appealing and SEXY! As long as your choosing the right clothing for your shape, living healthy (by healthy I don’t mean turning vegan ha..ha), and feeling confident then your sexy! ;)</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

Whether it be a first date, first day at a new school, or an interview your “style” is what sticks out the most and you want it to reflect who you are. Here are some tips I’ve always fallowed in how to find and maintain my style:</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbQGG94wPgT-qjFAUxTRhvZOVbpsWSe9cx0Rge4V2uuXaqpXBXk2kt0LGgQG3t6YWQu-G3tiqNEOF-INHBNBROct9CW1j1t5-BccOVkUycNp0GYrqFPQQz7hSMOyQcz7qXS3Xhlv0qvvk/s1600/tumblr_lfm3mqfHK41qcy3seo1_500_large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbQGG94wPgT-qjFAUxTRhvZOVbpsWSe9cx0Rge4V2uuXaqpXBXk2kt0LGgQG3t6YWQu-G3tiqNEOF-INHBNBROct9CW1j1t5-BccOVkUycNp0GYrqFPQQz7hSMOyQcz7qXS3Xhlv0qvvk/s200/tumblr_lfm3mqfHK41qcy3seo1_500_large.jpg" width="186" /></a></div>Tip# 1 Determine your personal style.</div><div class="MsoNormal"> Determine whether you are contemporary or traditional. From there are a few different styles, there’s classic, bohemian, punk, sophisticated chic, trendy (ever-changing with the times) 60’s inspired, 80’s inspired, 90’s I could go on and on. And it doesn’t have to be black and white FASHION IS NOT BLACK AND WHITE haha, it’s always changing and evolving. It’s okay to have more than one. I consider myself as a modern classic chic with a trendy twist, for example I take trends that I’m comfortable with and incorporate them into my wardrobe in a more demure way, nothing over the top and that works for me. <br />
<br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"> <img height="320" src="http://media.onsugar.com/files/2010/11/44/2/636/6360581/3e0dd648899b202f_kourtneykardashian_1028.jpg" width="188" /></div></div><div class="MsoNormal">Tip #2: Imitate a celebrity. </div><div class="MsoNormal"> Think of a celebrity whose style you are drawn to for instance one of the Olsen twins, Rachel Zoe, the Kardashian sisters, Lauren Conrad, Blake Lively, Rachel Bilson, there are so many to choose from and it’s even better to have more than one who has the same taste! After you have found a celebrity google their style, for example just type Kim Kardashian’s style or for a more specific search you can type in Kim Kardashian casual style, fashions, beach day, ect. You can also look at magazines, interviews, and tabloids they’re in. From that you can see what they’re wearing and pretty much copy them whether it be the same exact outfit or just taking pieces from it. Also keep in mind your body type, if you can find a celebrity who’s style you love but also has your body type then great! But if not that’s fine too. Just keep in mind that there may be some things that work for them but may not for your shape. You can also take any celebrities style and add your own personal touches to them as well! </div><div class="MsoNormal"><div style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="Tumblr_lbmm0fenbx1qci5feo1_500_large" height="160" src="http://s3prod.weheartit.netdna-cdn.com/images/4919076/tumblr_lbmm0fEnBx1qci5feo1_500_large.png?1289588288" width="200" /></div><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Tip#3: Don’t be afraid.</div><div class="MsoNormal"> If you like something then wear it! The most important thing about style is it’s a reflection of YOU and it needs to suit your personality. If you’re out shopping with family or friends and they don’t like a shirt you like go into the fitting room and try it on anyway. Look in the mirror and first think if you like it and if it suits you well. Then take their criticism into consideration and see if you’re comfortable. You may come to the conclusion that maybe they are right and not get it ORRR you may fall in love with it. If you really love something and think it suits your style well, then don’t be afraid of what people think and buy it!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Tip# 4: Remember what suits your Body and coloring.</div><div class="MsoNormal"> Take these into consideration when shopping for your style… your body type, hair, skin, and eye color, and height. You always want to make sure you’re choosing colors that compliment your coloring and outfits that compliment your body shape. Like I said before just because something works for one person it may not work for you also just because something doesn’t work for a friend it may still look great on you!! </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />

*Pick 3 basic neutral colors that complement you. </div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">*List of low priced stores below!</div><div class="MsoNormal">“Building on top of your closet” – pick neutrals (black, white, brown, navy, grey, camel, dusty pink) and accessorize with jewelry, scarves, bags, and belts. There are ways to trick the outside eye, in that I mean there are ways to look like you have more cloths in your closet than you actually do! You can make multiple outfits out of one basic top this is where your neutrals come in to play. For example pick a neutral color that goes well with your skin type (I will be posting a “Colors for your Skin/hair/eye type” soon!) say it’s black… get a basic long sleeve shirt in that color with little to no detailing on it ,by this I mean a little embroidery or lace is fine but preferably I would choose a shirt with none. Take that shirt throughout the mall with you and find what I like to call your <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><i>4 J.A.B.S.:</i></span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">J</span>ackets</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">A</span>ccessories</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">B</span>ottoms</div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">S</span>weaters</div><div class="MsoNormal">This is my fun little acronym I’ve come up with to make it easier for clients to remember and understand! ;)</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">NOW, to break this down for you we’ll start with <b><i>Jackets</i></b>! This includes blazers… You can take any simple shirt and pair it with a nice jacket or blazer that is a complementing color. If you have chosen a cool neutral color like a black shirt then a complementing color would be another cool tone such as white, ivory, grey, navy, or even a light pink! If you don’t have a blazer of a jacket I suggest you get one, these are great staples and an amazing way to spice up an outfit too!!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Next we have my favorite part, <b><i>Accessories</i></b>! That black basic shirt can easily be livened up with a long necklace, a nice bracelet, or some statement earrings. I always say if you feel your outfit is missing some oomph then go with a piece of costume jewelry, it’s trendy, it’s everywhere, they are typically low priced and sooooo cute! Tip: don’t go overboard, it’s all about balance. Either choose a pair of dangling earrings with a simple low key bracelet or the long necklace with either a small earring or none at all. Also other accessories that liven up your outfit would be scarves (my obsession!) belts cinched at the waist, cute boots, flats, heels, and bags!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">For <b><i>Bottoms</i></b> I feel it’s easiest. I always keep: 1 pair of dark washed skinny denim, 1 pair of dark washed bootcut denim, black pants, black leggings, a lighter legging, black or grey shorts(which can be paired with tights in the fall/winter), and a skirt of choice. These are my basics that suit my style and coloring for you it may be different like maybe you like the acid washed skinnies because it’s more you and that’s very important to stay yourself just make sure they compliment the rest of your wardrobe and you will be all set!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Lastly are <b><i>Sweaters</i></b> (or cardigans)!!! Another great staple to have in your closet, it can be a light sweater, a heavy sweater, a long sweater, or a short sweater, whichever you prefer, but please DO NOT forget to keep in mind these pieces have to COMPLIMENT your closet! That is the key objective to shopping on a budget. ;)</div><div class="MsoNormal">And this is what I call, building on top of your closet. </div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"> Now this is the fun part!! Let’s go back to our basic black long sleeve shirt and make 3 outfits from it!</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><u>Outfit #1</u>:</i> black shirt, grey cinched waist blazer, long necklace, dark wash skinny jeans, ankle boots with heel.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><u>Outfit # 2</u></i>: black shirt, long silver and white colored costume jewelry necklace, OR a snow leopard print scarf, simple bracelet, grey shorts paired with complementing tights, pair of boots like Ugg knockoffs.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><i><u>Outfit # 3</u></i>: black shirt, grey short wide sleeved sweater cinched at waist with medium sized belt, leggings if the shirt and sweater are long enough or skinny jeans with flats.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">So things to keep in mind when you’re shopping on a budget are: 1) Do I have my 3 basic tops? 2) Are my basics a neutral color that compliment my hair, eyes and skin tone? 3) Are my 4 J.A.B.S. going to compliment my basic tops and closet? And most importantly 5) Does this fit my personal style and am I comfortable wearing this?</div><div class="MsoNormal">If you are saying to yourself “Wait, how is this shopping on a budget if I need to buy all these things?” I don’t expect you all to run out and buy all 4 J.A.B.S. in one day start with one or two. The reason your saving money is because you’re making at least 3 outfits out of only ONE shirt. The goal is to not waste money on a fashion top where everyone will know if you’ve worn it twice this week; it’s to learn how to accessorize and make more than one outfit out of what you already have. </div><div class="MsoNormal">Here’s a list of stores and websites I find to be more affordable and still trendy:</div><div class="MsoNormal">Forever21</div><div class="MsoNormal">Charlotte Russe </div><div class="MsoNormal">H&M</div><div class="MsoNormal">Urban Outfitters</div><div class="MsoNormal">Wet Seal</div><div class="MsoNormal">The Icing</div><div class="MsoNormal">Claire's</div><div class="MsoNormal">Off Broadway Shoes</div><div class="MsoNormal">TJ Maxx</div><div class="MsoNormal">Dots.com</div><div class="MsoNormal">1015store.com</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
