Looking fabulous once in a while with all that extra prep and lots of help from your BFF is easy. You have all the time in the world…you make a blueprint and take the advice every fashion website and magazine gives you, and voila! – you look like a million bucks! But you know what’s tricky? Trickier than tricky? Dressing up for your real girl body every day. Yeah, those of us who look fab in all of our selfies at exotic locales just fall flat when it comes to styling ourselves for everyday affairs.
There are two good reasons for that. One, in our hurried lives, we hardly understand what works on our body. Two, we don’t understand our own bodies and never give a fair thought to what our personal style is. That’s the real confusion we face with real bodies. Now how does one tackle this issue?
One good way to begin is to look at Westside‘s fabulous new real girl label, Sassy Soda. Sassy Soda comes in absolutely real sizes, in cool trends, with lots of fun and colour. The best thing about the label is the way it keeps you looking pretty without you having to do much. That’s exactly what we need every day! Whether it’s work or play or a fun night out, you and I need our daily dose of fabulous.
So we give you five amazing styling ideas for your real girl body. Plus, this little piece will come with your own little style mandate on working with your problem areas.
Unleash Your Inner Flower Child
Price: Dress- Rs 1699, Bag- Rs 1499, Hairband- Rs 199, Shoes- Rs 1099.
Stay Fabulously Fascinating in White
What really sets off a great dress is its elegant cut and its super-easy fabric. For us, lace always does it. It flatters the figure and tones down your look – bonus points if it’s pleated or A-line because this cut especially makes sure it hides all the problem areas, from thick thighs to a big bust along with a flabby tummy. Which is why it’s number one on our lust list. The gold belt is a great addition because it emphasizes a delicate waist and cinches it to show off your figure. This one can be worn from AM to PM in style – only make sure you keep the look fresh with a nice floral bag, some great bright-coloured shoes, a classic watch (to stay as elegant as possible) and some gold-toned cuffs and neckpieces. Don’t forget to take it up a notch with your favourite aviators!
Price: Dress- Rs 1999, Bag- Rs 999, Cuff- Rs 299, Necklace- Rs 299, Shoes- Rs 1199.
Structured and Lean for a Great Work Look
Let us tell you one thing that will set your wardrobe apart from everyone else’s – it should and it must have a signature. Your own style, that is. And there is no better idea out there than to stay minimal and classic. And that’s why you need an uber signature item – the leggings. Every girl must possess a pair – only make sure it’s made of good fabric, stretches well and comes with great additions like zippers and rivets. A nice solid-coloured vest teamed with a pair of good quality leggings would work wonders for your silhouette and can make your legs look long and lean. Aww! Add a nice little jacket and some nice black heels, and you’re ready for the day. A pair of hoops and an elegant leather bag can elevate your basic look to super-fabulous levels. Don’t forget to top it up with minimal makeup – nice liner and a lip balm along with a good daily wear BB cream.
Price: Leggings- Rs 1199, Tank top- Rs 499, Hoops- Rs 299, Shoes- Rs 1199.
