Be Busty and Beautiful!

Having a big bust isn’t a bad thing people! In fact, it’s something most women wish for and even resort to surgery to achieve!! So why is it so hard to dress a busty body? Well, it isn’t if you know the right tricks! It’s all about having the right bra and wearing the right shapes to flatter your figure. Here are 10 of the best dresses for your busty body type:

1. Wrap Dress: The drop waist and deep V-neck make this classic style ideal for curvy girls.

2. Strapless Dress: A built-in boned bodice is the key to finding a dress that actually stays up.

3. Mod Dress: To get that mod silhouette without losing your waistline, pick a fabric like silk, which is fluid enough to show your shape but won’t cling to your body.

4. Little Black Dress: An elastic empire waist flatters top-heavy figures, but be sure to wear a seamless bra.

5. Bubble Dress: Tailor these trendy dresses to your shape by cinching a belt at your natural waist.

6. Shirt Dress: Add a high heel for the office or a simple sandal for the beach and wear a bra that will minimize your bust.

7. Baby Doll Dress: To make this style work for your shape, pick a dress that shows just a bit of cleavage and has volume at the bottom to balance out your frame.

8. After-Beach Dress: Normally ruffles close to the chest area are a no-no, but just make sure the ruffles lay flat, creating a flattering frame for the neckline.

9. Vintage-Inspired Dress: These shapely dresses are ideal for your frame and the playful, feminine styles are easy to dress up for a night out, or down for the office.

10. T-Shirt Dress: The standard cut isn’t very flattering on shapely bustlines. Instead, look for jersey dresses in more structured designs.

How NOT to Wear a Tank Top

So it’s summer. Obviously you’re not gonna be wearing anymore sweaters for a while. SO! It’s time to yank out those tanks, ladies!! But beware, there are some wrong ways to wear a tank top. Just in case you’ve forgotten from last summer, let’s review:

Numero Uno! Never wear a tank top with your bra straps showing!!! I know it’s tempting to do, but DON’T! It’s soooo unattractive and just sloppy looking. Besides, there’s an easy fix to this tank top faux pas: Just layer a thinner tank top in an vibrant color underneath. This little trick will also hide your tummy area if you’re concerned about that.

Number Two! Steer clear of tanks that are too short. Just in case you haven’t noticed, we’re not doing the midriff bearing thing anymore. A tummy covering tank is much more classy and chic.

Number Three! Check your posture at the door! Slumpy shoulders will give you a slumpy, sloppy appearance. So make sure and stand up straight and hold your head high, you’ll look thinner as well!!

Flip Flops Lead to Leg Pain?

Bad news for all you flip flop lovers out there: scientists have found that the shoes may throw off your stride and cause pain in your lower legs and feet. BUMMER! I love flip flops…I wear them constantly. Now I have to wear shoes? Ugh… I think I’d rather have the foot pain. Lol…

Justin Shroyer, a graduate student in Auburn’s department of kinesiology says he sees college students wearing flip-flops all day long on campus, but the shoes aren’t designed for that kind of use. “Walking shoes are for walking places,” he says.

So what can we do if we experience this leg and foot pain? Shroyer recommends limiting the use of flip-flops. (Boo) And replacing your flip-flops every three to four months. Well that I can do!
