How To Dress For Your Body Shape

Don’t be so hard on yourself!  Most days I hear us ladies put themselves down in some way or another.   We seem to be preconditioned to point out our perceived ‘bad bits’ to each other, never have I heard anyone say what they love about themselves.  One thing I do know for sure is that we should all be kinder to ourselves.  Build your confidence with baby steps, start to notice and appreciate yourself, tell yourself daily something you love about yourself.

A good starting point to build your confidence up is to learn about your body shape and find the styles that flatter you.

First, choose your body shape.
