If you are blessed with the hourglass body shape here are some tips and some must have closet staples! I am a huge advocate of wearing things you love and feel great in! Feel free to break rules and take risks. Although we can dress for our body shape, the only thing you HAVE to wear to look good is your confidence! You are the best hanger any garment could wish for ! So go out into the world and make them know your name!!
The Hourglass Big breasts, a slim waist and curvy hips make your figure the crème de la crème of feminine beauty.
TIP #1 Don't put all you have in the shop window.
The hourglass body shape is the shape everyone wants, having said that it is easy to go over the top with your curves and show a little to much. It can be very easy to show a little to much and loose the elegance of a womanly shape.

This Vintage Floral Dress from Rosegal.com is perfect! I actually own this dress in several different prints and color tones and adore it! $26.35 is an absolute steal for this vintage inspired look! PIN ME UP BITCH! Although I wear this as a normal day put on (because i'm extra!) How perfect would this dress be for a Valentines Date?
TIP #2 Be a flexible shape
So you think you are an Hourglass "High Five" Everyone wants to be an hourglass, however there are subtle differences to watch out for and more tricks for you to take notice of. If your bottom is slightly larger than your top half then experiment with Triangle/Pear Shapes also.

TIP #3 The Belt is your friend! Wear it on the smallest part of your waist. Also give thought to the width of the belt as this changes the proportions and look of every outfit, to small and you become to big in proportion. I love this belt so much ! Its Rodeo Queen worthy! #moreismore Unique Metal Buckles Embellished Double Prong Belt - Black

TIP #4 Tops Ok, so your secret is to go simple and no fuss when looking at tops. Always try to go with a 3/4 sleeve and a v or scoop neckline. A princess cut, gatherings and hip flares are perfect for you. focus on defining your waist in everything you wear.
Be careful with tailored jackets, they will look fabulous on you if they nip in at the waist and flare out, however tailored clothing should be just that, tailored for your personally, as it's extremely hard to get the correct fit from the peg/rack.

TIP #5 Bottoms
ALWAYS BELOW THE KNEE, EVERY BOTTOM NEEDS TO BE BELOW THE KNEE!!!
Pencil skirts look great on you, as do bootleg pants and skinny jeans. Choose pants or skirts that follow your natural curve. Don't be scared of fitted options also, but remember fitted is not tight! as long as you have a good solid under structure you will be fine! Who doesn't love a a pair of ripped skinny jeans ! Just because you are plus size doesn't mean you cannot wear skinny jeans ! they are not just for the skinny!! Also try a high rise waist, it will sit better on the booty and make your waist look smaller ! Distressed Skinny Black Jean- High Rise $36.31
Be sure to share your style and pics with me on social media! I cant wait to see what you rock out! STAY FABULOUS!
