Hey Ladies

Did you know that a woman’s body type determines which clothing styles are most flattering. There are seven specific body types i know of (Diamond, rectangle, triangle, hourglass, figure eight, oval and inverted triangle) and knowing them will help you determine your type, as well as what looks best on you. It is important to know that body weight has nothing to do with your body shape. Once you know your body shape, you can dress around the positive attributes of your physical structure to highlight it. And for the flaws, dress so as to hide them by playing with colors, stripes, accessories etc. To appear in proportion you may at times need to add some curves and at other times you may need to create dimensions as well. Do you know your body shape?????

To my fellow Zim women

We black women should learn to appreciate our bodies and embrace our uniqueness. It all starts with loving your body and loving yourself. If you fall in love with yourself then all insecurities will disappear. All women are different and thus have different shapes and size though black women are more on the plus size side but it does not mean we cannot be stylish and elegant.  Believe it or not, it is not about being slim but it all starts with knowing your body shape, embracing it, knowing what suits your figure and what doesn’t and dressing accordingly.

I love clothes and I have my own style. I always go for something unique yet elegant. Something that I feel good in. something that sets me apart from everyone else but these days I have noticed that more and more Zimbabwean women are going for the what’s in at the moment. But alas, dressing  isn’t always about following fashion trends because if you move around town everyone you meet is wearing either the same clothes or the same style but in a different colour. You definitely don’t want that now do you? I certainly don’t!
