Hey, Body Shape! Let's Embrace...

I don't know if the latest fashion is to blame, or if it's just the Gold Coast, but I am recently seeing a whole lot more of a woman's skin then I'd like my eyes to be exposed to outside of a fitness changing room. That famous saying 'less is more' does not apply in everyday fashion. Seriously! Ladies, have pride in your body and respect its mystery. Not every man out there needs to feast their eyes on your secret cracks, crevices and contours. As much as the extra male attention may be desired, in no way should it be attracted by skimpy outfits. Use your charm. Your charisma. Your intelligence. We all have it. Like the ladies before us, know the seducing power of your shoulders, your back, your silhouette or the provocative glance of your eyes. Sexuality is not only exuded from you butt, boobs and midriff. Those are the home run areas. (Let's leave those areas for the men we actually care about and plan on introducing to our friends and family.)

I truly believe in dressing for your body type. Not everything that comes into trend will suit your body, but that's okay. Dress to suit what your mamma gave you and no one else's. We're lucky that there are many options these days in fashion, so regardless of your shape, there will be something out there that will flatter you.

The way to determine what shape you are is the Hips, Shoulders, Waist ratio. Where you measure the length of where your shoulders sit in relation to your hips and then see the contour of your waist in relation to your shoulders and hips. Determining your shape is not measured by the size of your breasts, but, stomach or thighs.

In my next posts, I will go through every individual body type separately and try to give the best DO's and DON'Ts for each possible type. Remember, regardless of what body type you are Accept It. Embrace It. Make the Most of it. Don't go wishing you are something you're not. This is your body, it's beautiful and you love it.
