How to Dress to the nines

sorry for the irrelevant picture I just missed this moment haha

Dressing up is something I have a love-hate relationship with. I like dressing up when I feel like to. You can ask the my closest friend and they would tell you out front that I don't like dressing up that much. 


I know dressing up 'to the nines' can amp up your chances of getting noticed either at work or by your crush.
Dressing up would also amp up your self-confidence. 

But dressing up nonetheless is something we can do on a daily or on special occasion. One main thing you have to remember is to know your body type. Because if you don't know it you would be as lost as a kid in the mall :)). 

There are basically a lot of types of body shapes but there are the 4 common: apple, pear, straight, and hourglass. There is also the inverted triangle, and the curvy which most of which are hard to dress up. I will just be talking about some of the noted above since I am not a fashion expert okay? I'll make another post for the other body types

Lets start with apple shapes. Apple shapes tend to look round in the middle so I would suggest to befriend the belt since it will help you create an illusion of a waist. And also don't go for cropped tops since make you look wider. If you are more on the jeans, go for jeans that are fastened at the sides rather than the front part since it will emphasize your stomach. 

With Pear shaped bodies you are more of a bottom heavy which I would suggest that you have to stay away from jeans that has big pockets because it will emphasize it. Also go for flowy skirts and bare back tops. 

With hourglass, well your in for a luck since you don't have to worry much. Just embrace the curves that you have. Only thing you do have to stay away from is round neck tops and baggy clothes because they will make you much bigger. 

So that is about it for today's post about fashion. I'll try to be more fashion-savvy not just on my post but also in real life. 

MENTAL NOTE: NEED TO BUY HEELS 

LOL! 

I actually don't have a good pair of heels that's why I don't even bother dressing up LOL 

See you on the next post! 

Much love!

My addictions: My cute yet ferocious dog named John

Shocking isn't it? haha!  Let me introduce to you my dog named John. Believe it or not he had a brother named Lloyd... get it John and Lloyd. Blame my mom for their names LOL But besides from that he is one peculiar kind of dog. He has a mannerism to act adorable one minute but turn annoying after another.  He has been with us for like 5 years or longer. He is a mix of Labrador and Pitbull.  I took that photo a couple of days ago when I was in a trigger happy mode. I took pictures of my niece and my nephew, our newly renovated house and of course my pets. I was actually asking him to look at me and when he did he suddenly yawn. And that is how I had that shot.  He is actually a really nice dog, he is a bit territorial but most dogs are like that. He actually likes my Labrador Retriever named Georgia. I'll let you meet Georgia next time. ^_^ Much Love!  Alice

Product Review: iColor Hair Dye Shampoo

Image
Hello lovelies!  Since the start of the year I told myself I will change my looks more and test things since I am not getting any younger so experimenting would definitely be on top of my list.  With that I've actually started with my hair. I have already gone blonde although that was a little hard to maintain since I remember being told to go back after a number of weeks to have my roots done but never seem to do it because  1. The salon I got it done was quite far from my place.  2. Its still expensive 3. It would damage my hair tremendously I still have qualms about getting my hair colored again professionally so I asked my mom if its much better if I color it myself - she said yes but gave me the low down on the things I have to do...remembering all those information was a toughie but I was able to get a simpler solution with it - this hair dye shampoo~  My mom discovered this actually and asked me to try it on my hair since she knows I need to cove
