After this shoot I did with Moments by Jay Marie (.com) and Jen Taylor, Best friend, hair and makeup, I got to say I ended that shoot feeling confident and sexy, again. I feel like I lost that along the way. You hit 30 years old and your body and face changes and you get comfortable in relationships and you don’t get dressed up as much anymore, because you get tired faster and you would rather stay home, cuddle and watch your Netflix show. However on that day getting all dolled up and dressed up and being back in front of a camera, a wave of being in my 20’s again hit me and it felt good! The big thing was seeing the actual pictures though. I see areas I want to work on (we always want to work on areas) and I saw what outfits flatter my body more! Hello high wasted pants that hug my curves and goodbye baggy clothes. I personally don’t think there is anything wrong with feeling sexy 24/7, who’s with me?!
Lets start with figure shapes, and the first one would be the pear shaped figure, that’s you ladies with the delicious booties! Tips: Keep solid colors on the bottom and keep your pop of colors and patterns up top! Keep the bottom pieces simple with nothing extra and don’t be afraid to accentuate the behind! Boat or Straight necklines are flattering up top for a smaller bust and don’t forget to add a statement necklace and scarf if you want to draw the eye up. But don’t forget most men love butts so love that pear booty girl!
My Apple shaped women!! Avoid bulk or bundled anything in the bust and waist area. Opt for scoop or V-neck tops, and adding a long necklace will make the figure appear longer. Wide leg and boot cut pants also add length as well as an open cardigan or jacket. Avoid square necklines, and skinny jeans. My apple shaped ladies, you all look fabulous in those business classy looks and Empire waists! Don’t forget your look and your shape will never go out of style You are my Charlottes from Sex and the City!!
My Strawberry Shapers, (also known as inverted triangles) but Strawberry sounds way sexier! Avoid patterns up top and go for v neck lines and sleek tops and accentuate your bottom half with texture, ruffles and gathering to give yourself some added hips and giving your look some balance! Show off your great legs, because you Miss Strawberry, have them!!
Hourglass Beyoncé’s of the world…you my dear should be wearing well fitted (not overly tight) body lined outfits. Define your waist, because you have one!!! Bring attention to your face from time to time though, ok! Add color to your eyes or lips or give some nice volume to that hair if you can. Hourglass ladies, you are beautiful, we all know it but also know you have gorgeous faces too!
My slender longggggg women of the world. I want your legs, I envy them! You are the runway models and I know you have your insecurities too. For you all though, you can wear bold patterns, anywhere. To create a silhouette, take a long jacket and belt it. The thickness of the jacket add weight and more curves when the belt is placed and tied just about the waist. Just don’t forget to show off those legs when you can!
Now ladies, we all have those perfect hair or makeup days, we feel sexy in our outfits that day. We are feeling ourselves, going to work, going on a date, going out with the girls. Then boom, in walks someone who looks perfect from head to toe, she has it all. (trust me, she doesn’t think she has it all, even if it appears she does) we all constantly compare ourselves, and try to fix our “flaws” or ” imperfections.” Ladies, I love you all and WE ALL have to stop comparing, and start embracing. You hate your nose? Get a nose ring, wear lipstick, show off your cute butt!! Love that you don’t have MJ’s nose. You hate your thighs (I’m raising my hand), but I just tell myself I need big thighs to support this booty my mama gave me. I hate that I lost my toned arms when I was in crossfit, but that’s ok I need to get back in the gym more., I can get my arms back. My skin started aging overnight, what do I do? Invest in my skin, buy the high end skin care, can’t afford it? Message me I’ll name some lower end cost skincare but save for high end if you can! You only get one face! Never hate your boobs and butts, because guys love them all, all shapes and sizes. They are guys after all! Hey, they hate their gray hairs, but we love them silver foxes! Men have insecurities just like women do. My point tonight is, that after I realized at my shoot the other day, I have been so hard on myself, Yes, I’m a pretty vain person, I wont deny it, but if I can start to focus on what I have and love it more, I’ll not only get my confidence back but I can also show you how to as well! I want to be here for YOU! This is why I started this blog to begin with, not just for me but for you all as well!! Now go look at your sexy asses in the mirror and name 10 features you love about yourself, and practice that every morning!
