    Red all over

    Busy patterns and stripes can make your curvy hips look cluttered. Opt for solid shades to smooth out your shape. But that doesn’t mean ya hafta stick to basic black. Try rockin’ red or bright blue!

    All wrapped up

    A ruffly wrap dress topped off with a sweet belt gives you a defined waistline and will flaunt curves without being too revealing. Totally perfect for a family affair.

    Lovely in lace

    A lacy sheath or tunic glides over hips and minimizes problem areas with its all-over pattern. Plus, sheer arms and a cropped A-line cut will show a li’l bit of skin without going overboard. Sultry, yet sweet.

    Skirt the issue

Don't like the wrapped dress, but I do like the red dress so much!! It's just that I have next-to-none curves so I shouldn't go for less-cluttered dresses.

Its dress down day at my school on wednesday which means no uniform, yay Smile i'm a leggings girl, i absolutly love them, but how do i dress them up to make them different?? i want to use what i have and not buy anything, any suggestions?? also i have tonnes of graphics tees and other accesories like such. Thanks sooo much Smile




Try a long shirt that acts as a dress. If you pair it with a cute belt it can be a really fun outfit. Plus you can wear cute boots and be ready for the cold weather. xoxo kerra

The red and the black ones look the best to me, I am not saying I dont like the other ones, and if I had to chose just one it would be the red one.

Play up your frock. Instead of pairing flats or pumps with that summer dress, try adding some edgy boots or sporty sneakers.
