Whats You Body Shape?

Do you go out and just buy the clothes that you like the look of but for some reason they never seem to look right on you? or do you avoid buying new clothes because you find it such a struggle to find an outfit that you feel good in? 

If so why not figure out your body shape...

If you know your body shape and know what shape and style of clothing is perfect for you then it can make shopping so much easier and keep you looking gorgeous!!
You could have a wardrobe full of amazing and expensive garments but if they don't suit your body then they will never look as good.

So what body shape are you?


It so quick and easy just grab yourself a tape measure...
Now you need to measure 5 places; across your bust, across the underbust, your waist, your hips and then finally your mid thigh.

Pear
If your body shape is Pear then this means that your hips and thighs are the largest measurement. If this is your body shape then you have more than likely got quite a small bust, a flat stomach, long waist and heavy legs.
Apple
If your body shape is Apple then the measurements of your bust and your hips will be similar then your underbust and waist will have very little difference. If this is your body shape then you will probably have an average size bust with a larger tummy and a flat bum.
Hourglass
If your body shape is Hourglass then your largest measurements will be your bust and your hips and compared to these measurements your waist will be quite small. If you have this body shape then you will have a large bust, small waist, big hips and generous thighs.
Slim Athletic
If your body shape is slim athletic then all of your measurements will be fairly the same for all areas. If this is you body shape then you will have a slight waist and longer legs.
Petite
If you are petite then you can have any of the above measurements, however you will have broad shoulders and will be small in height.

I'm Back!

I'm back, I haven't blogged for a while I've been so busy doing assignments and working. 
I have not been too busy to do a little bit of shopping though! So here's some of my latest buys..
Cobweb Metallic Tank
Topshop
£26
I just love this top because its plain but not at the same time. It can be worn with so many different garments to create a number of different outfits; what about a pair of black high waisted shorts, leather jacket and boots to go for the rock chick edge or how about a pair of jeans and a blazer for a more casual look. You could also try wearing it with a skater skirt and a pair of gorgeous heels. Accessorize with heavy bold jewellery or with something as simple as a small pendent necklace. There are so many option for this top.Basically this top is a piece that I can wear over and over again, each time looking different.

Slit Back Chiffon Shirt
Topshop
£36
This blouse i bought as a bit of a last minute buy because i needed it for a funeral. However when i got home i realised that this blouse is perfect for both a casual and formal look. To go formal i paired it with a high wasted pencil skirt and then turned it casual by wearing it with a long black vest, leggings and boots. 
Long Sleeve Strip Shirt
Topshop
£38
This shirt is gorgeous on!!! I wasn't 100% sure about this top when i first seen it but something made me want it, so i bought it and loved it. I wore this for a day out where i wanted to be casual but wanted to look a bit dressed up so i wore this with a pair of blue skinny jeans and a gorgeous pair of black wedges.
River Island
Light Turquoise Glitter Skater Dress
£30
I wanted this dress the second i seen it, I just LOVE the colour! I'm saving this for a nice sunny day to pair it with a gorgeous pair of sandals.
River Island
Pink Tribal Tank Top
£25
The colour's in this top are what made me buy this top. Its perfect to brighten up an outfit and  is great for the spring or even summer with a pair of denim shorts and sandals.
