Coral Black and White

Got the fiance to take my photos today after work. So much easier than hauling out the tripod and lurking around the neighbourhood looking for a private place to take photos of myself. Sounds abit self absorbed I must say, however, that's just what a girl's gotta do when she is a fashion blogger. Not that I REALLY think of myself as all that fashionable, OR a blogger.. but that's a whole other stream of thought.

So, its a no brainer the days I feel good are the days when I am wearing something that just looks good (when its good its like intuition-- you just KNOW).  For me looking good means a few things.  If by chance any of you are learning from me, those of you who have somewhat of a similar body to me, here's some things I have learned:

I LOOK & FEEL GOOD WHEN I WEAR:

• high waisted skirts (flare, or pencil)
• skirts above the knee
• wide belts
• belted waist
• fitted, tailored tops
• mandarin collared blouses
• cap sleeves or sleeveless (like tank tops)
• round neck line, not too low
• colors that look good on me
• heels
• silver, copper, colorful, ethnic jewelry

I FEEL LIKE A FRUMP AND WANT TO RUN AWAY AND HIDE WHEN I WEAR:

* disclaimer: I do not deliberately dress like this, however sometimes I fight with myself trying to make items of clothing work and it ends up disastrous!!

• most pants, especially classic cut
• long skirts below the knee
• baggy loose flowing tops and t-shirts
• blouses with shirt collars
• regular t-shirt sleeves
• square necklines, deep v-necks
• kitten heels
• drop sleeves or bat arms
