Contrary to what most people think, I am neither skinny nor proportional. Like most Filipinas, I'm petite & pear-shaped. I have a protruding, ever expanding hip bone that bothers me. But my flaws just make dressing up all the more exciting & I'm happy I get to experiment on a daily basis. So here are some of my favorite outfits this season:
1. Zip-up dress (Stella)
Reminiscent of the 80's & early 90's (ala Dats Entertainment), I added a thick red belt to bind my waist & pop a bit of color.
2. Dainty lace (Stella)
Sometimes I feel lace is too much for me. Too much of it makes me look & feel heavy. But positioning it in strategic areas helps one exude feminity & classic charm.
3. 7-way dress
I just love its versatility
4. Polka dots
The symmetry of the dots diverts one's attention so he/she can forget whatever is imperfect.
5. Body Contouring (Liberté)
I love bright colors & I love it even more when it has lines to contour the figure.
6. Color blocking (Deseo)
Hide flaws with dark colors & accentuate your assets with bright& bold ones. Solid black lines also give structure & an illusion of added height.
7. Sweetheart neckline
This is my favorite cut because it makes me feel ultra-feminine.
8. Body hugging dress (Liberté)
This dress just sings "Defying Gravity"
9. Curves
"The hills are alive with the sound of music.." Curves just make life more alluring
10. A-line
There must be a reason why top performers in class are given A's. For me this is the top performing silhouette. It works for almost all body types.
