Wedding Guest Attire

December 15, 2009 @ 4:00 am | Categories women's clothing


Hi Leyn,

Hope you’re doing fine. I was searching the internet for formal wedding attires/cocktail dresses, when I found your blogspot. It’s really cool & interesting.

I would like to ask for your advice as well. I am attending a wedding by the end of the month of my high school guy friend.  I’m not the fashion forward type, just a simple dresser (jeans, polo shirts, sneakers. BTW I’m a girl, late 20s). The wedding ceremonies will start by 4 pm, and the attire should be formal (american style). I tried to look this up on the net, but I’m not quite sure yet how it is defined sa Philippine setting.

I stand at  5′2″, morena type, have big arms, flabs on the stomach &  a little heavy on the thighs..Obviously, I don’t have the perfect body, but of course I still want to look good on the wedding. Do you have any idea what I should wear? What shoes & accessories should I invest on? I want to look simple but elegant…Where can I find affordable ones?

Appreciate it very much if you can help. More Power! Thanks!

Sincerely,

T

Dear T,

I’m doing great here. Good thing you landed on my page. Now, let’s enumerate the ideas:

American Style

First, think of an American stereotype movie with garden wedding scenes. Attendees are usually dressed up in simple and short cocktail dresses so basically, it’s not far from a Filipino style wedding (except that men should wear tuxedo instead of barong tagalong.)

Wedding Theme

Second, know the wedding’s motif. The theme might be pure white, pink, purple etc. Your dress should at least blend with the wedding’s motif to avoid catching too much attention. If you want a safe color that looks proper in any motif, try beige or any earthy colors to also match your complexion.

Cocktail Dress

Next is to apply basic fashion for fuller size shapes. I’ve mentioned before that darker shades of clothes are more appropriate for plus size figures. Plus according to some fashion experts, wearing black or dark colors in wedding events are okay as long as you’re not part of the entourage. Know what style/cut of dress will flatter your figure. If your bottom or thighs look heavy, try fitting a knee length empire cut dress. In this way, your hidden flabs around your waist won’t be noticeable and you can freely move throughout the event.

Blazer

If having bigger arms is a problem and you’re not comfortable exposing them, then look for a dress with butterfly sleeves and show off some shoulders. As an alternative, a tube/sleeveless dress is fine then you can match it with a black blazer. No shawls please.

Mid-Heels and Elegant Accessories

Wear an open toe mid-heel sandals with a touch of gold or silver. Your sandals doesn’t have to be expensive but there are lots of sandals that looks cheap and sirain so be selective when you shop. There are so many good finds in VNC, Celine (P700-P2500) or Landmark (P300-P900).

In my opinion, accessories, hairstyle and make-up make a difference. With your skin tone, neutral colored make-up fits better and don’t forget to apply bronzer on your cheeks. Smear a flesh lip gloss over a brownish shade of lipstick.

Borrow a simple gold jewelry set from your mom or friend because big plastic accessories are not suitable with formal occasions like this. Lastly, carry a clutch instead of oversized shoulder bags.

I can’t cite several stores because it depends on your budget. Though one store I can think of is People Are People (P900-P2000), they sell cheaper cocktail dresses compared to other boutiques. You can come up with looklet fashions like shown below. (Ignore the system generated models, they’re annoyingly skinny.)

I bet other high school friends will also attend the wedding so make sure you look best on that day. Good luck. ;)

Love Lots,

Shala Shorts

November 30, 2009 @ 12:00 am | Categories teens, women's clothing


Dear Leyn

Im only 15 and 5 feet tall at medyo chubby ako, ano po ba ang magandang fashion ngayon para sa shorts dahil laging shorts ang suot ko tuwing aalis ng bahay at ano po ang mababagay na sapatos at damit. Mag bigay ka ng magandang store sa SM at bigay ka ng fashion tips para sakin.

Thank you and God bless you.

love lots
Kath

Dear Kath,

Oh hey kid. Hehe.

The tops/blouses appropriate for shorts depend on the shorts’ length, prints and style. You should be collecting different kinds of short pants so you have a variety of options. For example, if you wear knee-length shorts, a casual shirt fits better than a dainty looking blouse. On the other hand, if you prefer a girly outfit, most chic blouses look better on mini shorts unless you wear the high-waist style.

Plaid Shorts
Match it with a loose casual top for a laid back look. This fashion is suggested if you just want to stroll in the mall, play sports or tamang chillax lang with barkada (lol. wattaterm). For shoes, match it up with slip on sneakers or the friendly flip flops.

Mini Shorts
A safe fashion because any type of top/blouse will do. Just be careful with how you pick colors and prints so there won’t be too much going on. To look fashionable with mini shorts, I advise Hem Vest style, off shoulder or a ruffled blouse then wear the latest ankle cuff sandals.

High Waist
Just like the mini shorts, you can wear any blouse with the high waist cut depending on your figure. With your shape, I recommend a butterfly sleeved blouse then tuck it in on the upper waist part to emphasize the shorts’ style. You can pair it with ankle cuffed heels or ankle boots if you’re comfortable with high heels.

Regarding the stores, mid tier brands like People are People, F&H and BAYO sells good pieces especially the latest style of tops. Save on your preferred shorts and foot wear because they’re always available in department stores in cheaper price.

That’s it, these are just basics. :)

Love Lots,

Leyn

Hair Care Conditioner

November 18, 2009 @ 4:26 pm | Categories beauty & wellness


hi Leyn,

I just came across your site while googling. Naghahanap kasi ako ng okay na conditioner for a daily commuter like me. I ride the tricycle, fx and jeep everyday kasi going to work. Ung fx ok lang kasi aircon pero ung tric & jeepney ride nag aamoy usok ung hair ko.  =(  I tried ung hair refresher sa Bench but I didn’t like the smell e. Gusto ko ung long lasting scent na conditioner na medyo fruity ang smell. Can u recommend anything? Thanks2x!

Cheppy

Dear Cheppy,

I asked some reliable people about conditioners to at least attest with the products that will be mentioned. You might have already tried a lot of the common grocery brands like Palmolive, Rejoice, Sunsilk etc so I’ll no longer mention them one by one. The citrusy scent that you want to achieve will also come from the shampoo you use. Anyway, here are some conditioner brands you might want to try:

Pantene Glossy Shine

Talking about the common grocery brands, if you want a low maintenance and easy to find product, Pantene Glossy Conditioner is suggested.

The Body Shop Honey Moisturising Conditioner

A rich and deeply moisturising conditioner that helps put softness and shine back into dry, tired or damaged hair, leaving it feeling soft and more manageable. With regular use, it will help improve the condition of the hair.

Kiehl’s Olive Oil Nourising Conditioner

With Avocado Oil, Lemon Extract, and Olive Fruit Oil specially formulated for dehydrated, damaged hair.

St. Ives, Swiss Formula, Extra Shine Rasberry & Jojoba Conditioner

St. Ives combines raspberry extracts and vitamin rich jojoba in formulas for shinier healthier-looking hair. It will leave your hair feeling revitalized and full of shine.

Currently, I’m using Alberto VO5 Herbal Escapes Pomegranate & Grapeseed (citrusy) and Dove Moisturising Conditioner (musky) because these are the only available conditioners at home. I’m contented with their long-lasting scent and how they soften my hair so personally speaking, I also recommend these. But take in mind that just like lotions/soaps, shampoos and conditioners also have different effects on different hair types so you have to know the brand that suits you. :)

Love Lots,

Leyn

Smart Casual Men

November 12, 2009 @ 6:22 pm | Categories men's clothing


Dear Sosyalera,

Hi, first of all. I’m a fan. hehe

I would like to ask for a trend tip from you for this holiday season since we don’t have winter here in Phil. What style do Filipinos have this season?

Also, I recently read about you email sender about smart casual clothing tips. coincidentally I was wondering of the same thing so i allegedly read it, but no tips were found for men. that’s why I wrote.

I work for a business outsourcing company as a lead generation specialist. I lead a small group of 6 people but we’re just of the same age (some are even older than me). our dress code is smart casual, but i don’t want to look too simple and too corporate with my appearance. I usually gear up a shirt and a blazer/jacket or sometimes printed long sleeves on jeans these past few days. my personal style is on the rugged-vintage-punk-edgy side and I love to experiment with clothing styles and accessories(recently i bought a plum and cream stripes scarf).

I’m a 21yo guy, 5′8 and slim med. built body. I’d like to know more from your point of view.

Thanks and more power!!!

adrian

Dear adrian,

We all know that a couple of typhoons destructed our country so apparently, Christmas season for this year started quite late. People are still in the recovering process and most of us are trying to lessen our expenses but without neglecting the spirit of the season. Relating to fashion, people now settle for simple but elegant styles to avoid over spending. Nearly everyone’s trying to be practical and creative in re-using some old clothes. No worries because even on the latest runway reports, neutrals and simple pieces are worn together to form a fashion.

3/4 Shirts

I don’t see anything wrong with your typical outfit but your taste with colors, quality and combination judges it all. Start with collecting shirts with solid shades. Solid-colored Tops can be easily matched with other clothes like jackets, ties and scarf. If you don’t want to look too corporate nor casual, then you have to fold your long-sleeves in 3/4.

Jackets

I hope we can soon feel the cold Christmas breeze so we can use our fashionable coats and jackets. Blazers are okay even with jeans. But there are still other styles out there that surpass the casual look but don’t appear too formal like the Two-breasted style Coat.

Neck Ties

Thin Neck Ties are trendy. They look modern than the usual 3.75” wide ties. Also, make sure to pick the reversible design so can you have two prints in one tie.

Skinny Belts

Same with belts. Skinny width belts are in.

Shoes

Your shoes also carry the entire outfit so start collecting pairs with quality. Aside from the classic black leather, Boats Shoes are must-haves this season. You have to invest on seamless looking shoes. You’re no longer in college so quit the dirty type of sneakers.

Body Bags

Doctor bags are useful and spacious but if you’re not comfortable bringing one, spot for an over-sized Canvas Body Bag for everyday use. It will be good enough for your laptop, books and gym clothes without looking too metrosexual.

Accessories

Who says wearing jewelries and baubles are just for ladies? Men should also have their own set accessories. A silver or vintage watch plus white gold chain bracelet can add classiness to your simple clothing.

To sum it up, I’m just recommending neutral colors, simple pieces and materials that don’t easily get creases. These are just like my suggestions with the winter clothing I posted before, minus the thick fabric of course. Don’t combine clothing as if there’s too much going on. Avoid shirts/jackets with too many extra pockets. You can experiment but don’t exaggerate.

Thank you so much for reading my blog. More power din. Lol. :)

Love Lots,

Leyn

To Dye For

October 28, 2009 @ 5:11 pm | Categories beauty & wellness


Hello Leyn,

Sana pansinin nyo po email ko. May balde ka ba? Isa kasi ako sa mga umaapaw mong fans. Hahaha, ang korni. I know. Pero seriously, fan mo na ako.

Hindi ako sure kung may na-receive ka ng sulat tulad sa problema ko. I have a natural long straight black hair BEFORE (tama ba order ng adjectives ko?). Last summer, napag-tripan namin ng sister ko na lagyan ng highlights ang buhok ko. Kulay Grape Red. At oo nga, nagsisisisi na ako. Kasi po nagmukhang dry na dry ang buhok ko. At nagsimula na akong mag-hairfall.

Last week, pumunta ako ng salon para magpa-Relax and Hot Oil. Kaso, ang sabi sa akin. Hindi raw pwede sa buhok ko kasi may highlights at masusunog raw. Napraning naman ako. So sabi niya, magpapa HairSpa nalang raw ako. So ayun, nag pa HairSpa ako. Alam nyo po ba anong nangyari? WALA. Medyo feeling ko bumagsak konte buhok ko. Pero feeling ko lang yun eh. Wala parin eh, Dry pa rin tignan at may falling hair pa rin.

Ano bang treatment pwede nyong irerecommend sa akin? Okay lang po ba na magpapakulay ako uli ng buhok, pero Black na sunod? Bahala na maubos allowance ko. Help, bago ako makalbo. Maraming Salamat.

Umaapaw,
Raiza

Dear Raiza,

I LOL-ed at the balde thing… and actually at the whole letter. You seem tensed.

Honestly, I dyed my hair red before and I also thought that was the worst thing I did to my hair. Especially when my friends started telling me na mukha akong manok. Haha. How rude.

Unfortunately, the best way you can do is wait for the new hair to grow. That simple. This may sound useless but it’s better than coloring your hair again. If you dye it with black, the chemicals will just make your strands brittle and prone to split ends. Most hair salons do a strand test before they proceed with a treatment. Even the salon you visited suggested not to color your hair first, right? So you can’t easily undergo another hair therapy. Of course you can cheat and buy an instant color dye but it’s up to you if you’d take the risk. Most likely, you will experience dry locks if you do so. Magiging parang buhok ng manika, something like that.

As of now, stick on oil-based products. This is an effective tip that’s why the salon suggested a hair spa. Honestly, hair spa won’t have an effect that much because it’s just like expensive hot oil. Sosyal lang ang tawag… “spa”. The smoothness will stay for a couple of days only. Spend on black conditioners for the meantime. Once you feel like the new hair is growing already, then trim the ends and have a cellophane treatment. Cellophane will make your hair shinier and you’d be able to pick a shade of color. Its color substance is washable unlike the permanent dye.

As I’ve mentioned, use conditioner because it will help to moisten your hair but it will not totally treat the damaged parts. So please have patience and wait for the new batch of strands. Another mistake can make it worse so be careful this time. I’ve experimented on my hair a lot of times and waiting it to grow back is the best solution everytime I mess up.

Good luck, I know the feeling. :|

Love Lots,

Leyn

Simply Formal

October 23, 2009 @ 7:23 pm | Categories women's clothing


Dear Leyn,

We are having our moot court competition this month. We are advised to wear formal dresses during sessions. So I’m having a problem of what clothes to choose without being so standardized. I don’t want my clothes to appear so boring pero ayoko din naman magmukhang casual. As I assess my professor, I think she wouldn’t be so strict of the clothes as long as it will remain appropriate in the event.

I am planning to go to some ukay stores to find some clothes. But I think thrifting would be easy if I already have some styles in mind. Para alam ko na hahanapin ko from shoes, to bags, to skirts. I am 5′1″, skinny and morena. I also have some problems regarding my being so skinny because I almost lost my butt. Alam mo na in my case that’s the danger of being so skinny.

Lastly, at last na last na talaga… yung event nga pala will be held at a resort and for sure we would be given some time to go to the beach. Ang problema ko I have some scars brought by childhood. Di naman ako pwedeng magpants dun.haha.. Ano ba ang maiaadvise mo sakin?

Good luck sa blog mo! Thanks! Mwah.

Sassy Girl from Makati

Dear Sassy Girl,

I hope the competition has not yet happened but I’d still offer some suggestions for your concern. If you feel that being skinny is an issue, then pass up the usual trousers or jeans so your figure won’t look “flat”. Wear something like, an oversized dress/blouse then match it with a pair of leggings. Make sure your top is hip length to cover up your butt part. This outfit will give sophistication and contour to your figure. To complement your skin tone, pick clothes with neutral shades of gray, beige or cream.

I assume you meant formal and not corporate so this attire won’t go out of place. Pair it with thin textured leggings and high heels. There are hundreds of choices if you buy in ukay-ukay stores so looking for these clothes is easy. Accessorize with a layered necklace which looks good on solid colored tops.

I’m not sure if I get it but I hope the beach thing is in different time with the formal event. Be in a long sundress and you won’t have to worry about your scars. You can even wear the sundress as a formal outfit but be careful with picking the colors. Bright hues may tend to look casual though if you intend to allot an extra dress for the beach party, then bright colors are okay.

I hope you get the styles I’m suggesting. Try to invest on accessories to avoid a boring outfit but keep your clothes simple.

Good luck din sa’yo. ;)

Love Lots,

Leyn

Layered Hairstyle

October 21, 2009 @ 9:42 pm | Categories beauty & wellness


Hey Leyn,

Hey Hey! Anyway I’ve been checking out the net for some great hairstyle/hairdo for my medium length hair but still I can’t find anything that fits my personality and maybe my face shape. So yeah, I decided to consult you :] oh wait ako pala si trisha. So eto i have a round face, black colored layered hair with a slightly side swept bangs so anong babagay na hairstyle sa akin kung saan pwede ko syang i-use everytime I go to school or even everytime I go to the mall with my college friends. hoping that you’ll reply to my message :]

More power! and thank you

trish

Dear trish,

Sorry for the late reply. (O diba, parang text lang). As what you’ve said, you can’t decide for a hairstyle that defines your personality. Well I have no idea what type of chic are you – you may be a rocker, girly or a stylish one who loves wearing hair accessories. Hairstyle sometimes doesn’t just depend on your face shape or features. Your hair line is one factor. Bangs cut is recommended for girls with high hairline that’s why the look isn’t appropriate for everyone. There are times we may notice that “this” style appears good on a celebrity then if we copy the hairdo, it just doesn’t look right on us.

I cannot directly suggest the BEST fashion for the crowning glory, so everything is still up to you. Basing on your description, I can picture that your hair is like this:

I also maintain a layered hairdo with side bangs because it fits any season. But if you’re willing to experiment, consider a makeover with these styles:

You can try full bangs if you have a high hairline. Full bangs looks good on girls with smaller face and will make you look younger.

This hairdo is perfect for those who have fine strands of hair. It’s low maintenance and appropriate for a modern gal. Just like Jenny Humphrey on Gossip Girl Season 2. However, if you have coarse or thick type of hair, you need a relax treatment to keep the ends straight. (So that doesn’t make it low maintenance after all. Lol.)

Practice your styling skills and buy yourself a curler. You need to torture your hair a bit when unexpected parties call. Add volume using hair mousse. If you get used to it, you can do this in a matter of 10 minutes.

For accessories, you can wear headbands but I suggest that you stick with the darker shades. Head accessories with black, silver and gray stones are the latest trend. Mahirap nga lang humanap so this will challenge your shopping expertise.

Just remember that no matter what hairdo you’ve got, it all fails if you don’t keep it clean, frizz-free and shiny. :)

Love Lots,

Leyn

Smart Casual Tips

October 7, 2009 @ 5:15 pm | Categories women's clothing


Hi Leyn,

Hope you can help me with my fashion dilemma. I’m 22 years old working for a multinational firm and I find it hard to mix and match clothes to look not so corporate yet not too casual. I also want to ask advice from you on a new hairdo/hair color that is easy to manage and maintain. I’m 5′3, 47 kgs and morena. Btw, I’m working on a budget :-) Thanks and more power! :)

Hi!

If you’re really determined to organize your office attire closet, allot a weekend to classify your things: which of your clothes should be kept for a while and clothes that you can still use at present. Having several garments in your cabinet can just give you difficulties in mixing and matching. So keep aside the outdated stuffs, arrange some of the in trend pieces and shop for necessary ensembles.

Blazers

If you don’t want to look so casual or tipong “paparty lang”, then you should pick cotton blazers. Be particular with color and material. Black may look very corporate so off-white or beige is better. These styles won’t get obsolete so it’s not a waste of money if you buy a couple.

Sundresses

Sundresses perfectly match your blazers and coats. Choose dark colored-prints to maintain a smart-casual look.

Tops and Bottoms

There are times that we don’t have much time to think for a “fad look of the day” so we end up wearing plain blouses and slacks. Wearing the usual office clothing is all right but adding accessories can improve a boring look. If you have lots of solid colored tops, collect some accessories and elegant stones that can outshine your plain outfit.

Vintage Bags

It’s not because I’m currently collecting vintage bags but I’ve been seeing a lot of fashionistas with a classic bag for everyday use. It’s actually a safe style. Add them in your closet and buy in different colors.

Shoes

Closed shoes are usually required in corporate offices. I assume you’re not that particular with height so it’s okay if you’re in flats or low heels. If you’re allowed to wear open sandals, then ankle cuff style is in. You cannot just wear them during work but also appropriate with casual wear or laid back “shirt and shorts” fashion.

Hairstyle

In my opinion, I would recommend a down straight hairstyle. It seems that long hair is hard to maintain but actually, short-length hair is more prone to fly away ends. Have your hair relaxed at least every 6-8 months. Working girls don’t have much time to blow dry everyday so you need a treatment that will let your hair be in place as it dries by itself. You should practice the “brush-up” hairstyle because it looks neat, sophisticated and easy to do (yung parang pang-model na naka-tease yung bangs). Lastly, I would suggest chestnut for hair color (or any brown shade not close to orange or copper).

Of course, you don’t have to buy expensive clothes but choose the right quality. Always think that you will use a prospect dress for 5 years so check if the fabric may possibly shrink.

Happy shopping dear! :)

Love Lots,

Leyn

Autumn Winter

October 5, 2009 @ 9:04 am | Categories men's clothing


Dear Sosyalera,

Malapit na mag-autumn dito sa lugar namin at kasunod na neto ang winter. Ano ba ang usong trend ngayon for this season? Gusto ko na kasi magpalit ng wardrobe dahil nakakasawa na rin yung mga bulky-type-jackets. Naghahanap rin ako ng alternative sa denim jeans. Wala kasing uniform sa school ko tapos lagi lang ako naka-maong na pantalon.

Pwede ka ba mag-suggest ng mga magagandang coats, leather/casual jackets, hoodies, cardigans FOR MEN etc.? I usually buy my clothes from TOPMAN and Urban Outfitters.

Thanks a lot!

-Anonymous

Dear Anonymous,

Basing on the latest vogue from 2009 A/W runways, neutral colors and bold prints are all the rage. I’d be suggesting that you stick with the classic looks appropriate in school. Be fashionable yet think that you’re not attending a party or concert. With your case, it’s better not to catch much attention but pick clothes that you can effectively mix and match to maximize your school attire closet.

Cardigans: Classic V-neck type / Exact Fit / Neutral Colors

Coats: Hoodies / Double Breasted Coats

Style and Prints: Checkered / Funnel Neckline

Trousers: Dark Colored Pants

If you’re fed up with the usual bulky jacket, then avoid the nylon or leather materials which are prone to folds and creases.

To complete the outfit, gear yourself with a dark colored doctor’s bag. With regards to footwear, moccasin type of shoes is now fully fashioned to match any clothing without getting too corporate. If you feel awkward with the Native American feeling, then leather boat shoes, pointed lace ups or your classic white sneakers can also be your options.

I guess I don’t have to elaborate each piece since the concept of “classic grays and neutrals” is already understood. :)

Inggit ako. Sana may winter din dito. Hehe.

Love Lots,

Leyn

Petite Fashion Tips

September 23, 2009 @ 5:51 am | Categories women's clothing


Hi Leyn,

I’m not sure kung meron ka ng nasulat na entry about dito sa iko-consult ko sayo but I still wanna ask for advice about my fashion dilemma.

I’m a girl na 5” lang ang height and skinny. Well, I dunno kung skinny talaga akong matatawag kasi kahit naman payat ako, nasa tamang shape naman ang mga hita ko, I mean, hindi rin mahahalata na super payat ako. Yun lang siguro ang advantage ko sa ibang skinny girls.

Since karamihan ng mga girls ay sayo tumatakbo para iconsult ang kanilang problema pagdating sa fashion, at since matagal na panahon ko na rin namang sinusubaybayan ang blog mo, ginrab ko na ‘tong opportunity na ‘to para magtanong na sayo. Nahihirapan kasi akong mamili ng damit kasi una sa lahat, parang pang children’s section ang size ng mga damit ko at pangalawa, yun mga damit na gusto kong isuot e parang bagay lang sa matatangkad. Ayoko naman magmukhang trying hard kaya gusto ko sanang hingin ang opinion mo about this (and your recommendations as well). Isa pa, nahihirapan din akong mamili ng babagay sakin na accessories kasi karamihan, nagmumukhang malaki sa akin.

Gusto kong maimprove yun fashion sense ko. Sana matulungan mo ako dito. (:

More power sa iyong site, Leyn. You have my support sa dalawang contest na sinalihan mo. Hindi na ako magtataka kung mananalo ka. ;) Keep it up! Looking forward to your reply. Thank you.

Much love,

Ceey

Dear Ceey,

You can check my advise about Fashion ABCs for petite girls here:

Petite Flattering

Petite Problem

There are few email senders who have already consulted about their skinny figure or height issues but it’s okay if I’d add a few pointers for you. I know it’s hard to look for stylish and in-trend clothes in smaller sizes but if you just have the keen eye to spot for the right dress and where to buy, I don’t even think your height would be a problem.

As what you’ve said, you’re into certain clothes that complement tall girls. Actually, having wide range of variety of clothing will just make you feel frustrated because we have to admit that some clothes only flatter women with taller height. So the best thing you should take in mind is LEARN the type of clothes that will match your petite physique and then latest fashion trend comes next.

Everytime I window shop, I notice that boutiques and department stores still have stocks for XS or even XXS for smaller shapes (though you might have difficulties in shopping with jeans and shoes.) In case your size is only available in the children’s section, then that’s fine. I know some petite women who shop their clothes from teen/children’s section and it’s not a loss. People won’t even know where you buy your clothes. Organize your shopping list like this,

  • Buy tops and dresses from boutiques.
  • Jeans and other bottoms from the children’s section, department store.
  • A pair of no-size leggings is an alternative for pants.
  • Stick to thin, small-sized and elegant jewelries instead of big plastic accessories.
  • For bags, it’s better to use purses or small satchels.

Also, wearing two pieces puts an illusion that divides your top and bottom, so you should get used with wearing dresses instead. It’s all right if you’re always in blouse and jeans but you need to check the appropriate matching of clothes that go with your height.

Dresses / Jumpsuits

Accessories

Bags

Shoes

If you really want to improve your fashion sense, make an effort to read magazines and check the latest collection in stores when you mall stroll. Don’t just buy anything that’s comfortable and looks good in YOUR eyes because a lot of fashion victims think like this. When you shop, also prioritize the QUALITY (fabric and if sewing is aligned properly), SIZE (fit your prospect outfit and don’t buy if it doesn’t suitably hold your shape), PRINTS and COLOR.

I’m not just making you feel good but believe me, some girls would die for a smaller figure so that actually makes you luckier. :)

Thanks for supporting my blog, I hope you won’t get tired visiting my page. :D

Love Lots,

Leyn
