With an hourgl...Ok, here's what I came up with. With an hourglass shape, you want to accentuate the waist as much as you can. Everything doesn't have to be tight or belted, but make sure if you've got a button up shirt that it nips in at the waist to help define it. I've also always felt like longer necklaces slim the body line, along with heels. They don't have to be big, even a 1 inch heel will do it!<br /><br />Jersey material dresses are very in right now and they're great for converting from day to night! They're comfortable and breathable, and also wrinkle-free so you can toss it into a bag to change easily.<br /><br />Something like this would suit your figure, and you can wear tights, a cardi with it... whatever you want to accessorize: http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=2313801&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208523&parent_categoryId=203984&pageSize=200&refinements=category%7E[257491%7C208523]&noOfRefinements=1<br /><br />One of my favorite stores over there is H&M (we have them here too), I feel like they cover a good range of styles.<br />Something like this skirt would be really versatile: http://files.hm.com/media/products/B61/DXLB61_82890_09090_51_3943.jpg You can belt it and wear it with different tops, etc.<br /><br />Ok so my polyvore outfit ideas. I can't get all UK companies filtered on there so hopefully the style of the clothing will help!<br /><br />http://www.polyvore.com/fancy/set?id=24467315<br />This is a bit on the fancy side, but you can dress it down by adding more casual shoes; flats or sandals.<br /><br />http://www.polyvore.com/amanda_teaching/set?id=12672986<br />Tunic tops are great for summer -- with your shape you've got to watch the length and how voluminous they can get at the waist. But the trousers will be fab on you, and the blue flats are a nice pop of color while still being professional.<br /><br />http://www.polyvore.com/me_inspired_outfit/set?id=9553615<br />This was one I made for myself, but we have the same body shape so it would work for you. I'd tuck the top in on this... but silky like patterns are good for being comfortable but still professional. And of course, red shoes for a pop of color!<br /><br />Ignore the colors on this, I mostly wanted you to see the shapes. I think this outfit is perfect for what you want, you've got a coat for if the weather becomes bad, the coat also dresses it up a little. The tights keep your legs covered so it's professional and the flats are comfortable!<br />http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=30179750<br /><br />Again, ignore the colors... but focus on each item. I prefer to buy fun patterned heels or wedges, or whatever, because shoes always fit... clothes are a pain to find, lol!<br />http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=30179957<br />You could actually do the yellow and purple together, but you'd need different shoes :) <br /><br />Hope that helps!Cydonianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925341040702061278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123881308570553564.post-47960508674015209502011-04-08T14:00:55.299+01:002011-04-08T14:00:55.299+01:00I can see you in several things from here (please ...I can see you in several things from here (please ignore the pastels). <br /><br />www.whitestuff.com<br /><br />The clothes are pretty, colourful with hippy-ish vibe. Lots of items would be great for school as well. Love the Heart Of Mine skirt or Trinket trousers for you.<br /><br />Also they have a sale on at the moment! xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1123881308570553564.post-47465683129048896512011-04-08T01:20:01.082+01:002011-04-08T01:20:01.082+01:00Wide legged blue jeans with nautical striped tops ...Wide legged blue jeans with nautical striped tops in red and blue! I think you could totally pull off that style- a bit French, a bit quirky, laid back.<br /><br />Prom-style dresses for the summer- 50s reference in the shape will emphasise your hourglass shape. And there's all sorts of pretty prints and stuff. Tescos has some nice ones in.<br /><br />Hope this helps you with some ideas :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
