4 style secrets for hourglass girls


 

Check these out, too...

  • Trends we heart: Americana
  • 6 handbags every girl should own
  • Exactly what to wear to your summer job interview
  • Ed. Obsession: INTERN TAKEOVER: Muscle Tees Under $20
In our ongoing mission to make sure girls of every shape and size find the perfect fit, we've now come to the most famous figure: the hourglass. These curvaceous chicas have a smaller waist with an evenly proportioned bust and booty (give or take a few inches). Here are our style tips to bring out those coveted curves.


Girl, you are not doing yourself any favors by hiding your lovely figure under some shapeless shift. Go for a well-fitted v-neck dress that nips your itty-bitty waist. Finish it off with a skinny belt.
 
 
Fly the Good Flight Dress, $55, modcloth.com


Tough time finding dresses that fit? Do separates! We've loving a high-waisted pencil skirt that your skims your va-va-voom curves.

When picking out a top, avoid anything too baggy or ruffly, which totally stifles your figure. The same rule goes for finding a skirt, too.



Elbow Sleeve Scoop Neck, $7, agacistore.com


To balance out your full hips, snag a pair mid to high rise jeans with a hint of flare (Psst! Skinnies work, too.). Just be sure to skip low rise jeans, which widen your booty.

I'm an hourglass and I need some style ideas because I'm in a style rut. I usually have cute flannel shirts, camis and tank tops, skinny jeans, cute fitted shirts, and some dresses. I just need some fresh insight on how to wear my clothes and some suggestions you have for hourglass girlies like me. Thx sooo much!

How do I know if my period is light or average? I know what heavy is, but once I thought my period was average, but my cousin who has had her period for a few years now told me it was light. So I really don't know...




Hey girl, it really depends on what point of the cycle you're in. Your period starts out heavy and then becomes lighter usually. I wouldn't say it's one consistent flow.

tomorrow is my freshman orientation its gonna be bout 70 degres farienhit and i was gonna wear a short sleeve shirt by guess and a black cami underneath with flip flops should i wear my shorts, capris or regular long jean pants?
thnx a mill. Smile




Hey girl, I'd go with shorts and just bring a sweater if the A/C is cool inside. Your upper body is more likely to be cold than your legs.
