Your shape is Bell

Ding ding ding! 🔔 If you have full hips and a defined waist, this is you! You’ll have fun playing with different necklines, embellished and detailed tops, and anything that highlights your waist AND those curves.

YOUR GOAL

Focus on creating balance by drawing the eye upward and showing off your waist.

Your Quick Hit Fit List

Before we look at your go-to (and not-so-go-to) pieces, can I set the record straight once and for all?

I don’t want your clothes to “flatter” you 🙅‍♀️ I want them to *fit* you 

👉Fit ≠ flatter (aka “Do I look good in this?)

👉Fit = function (aka “Is this garment doing its job?”)

Wearing clothes that don’t fit well (i.e. they aren’t doing their job) is something way too many women settle for. They chalk it up to clothes not flattering them rather than clothes not doing their job.

That’s why the following recommendations are split into go-to’s vs. fits that likely won’t work hard enough for you.

This is not a “wear this not that” list.

This is your permission slip to only wear clothes that work hard enough for you.

Your go-to pieces

  • No-fuss pencil and slip skirts that hug the hips and highlight your waist

  • Lots of pants will look amazing on you for varying reasons: Slim or tapered highlight your curves; straight or wide-leg create one fluid line from hips to floor

  • Visually interesting tops (think texture, pattern or shine); look for fun necklines that draw the eye upward like boat, V, scoop, sweetheart, square + strapless

  • Bomber, denim, and moto-style jackets and slouchy cardigans that hit high on the hip

Fits that don’t work hard enough

  • A lot of pleating, whiskering or distressing around the hips

  • Longer tops might sit on top of and overemphasize your hips; tuck these in or just avoid if it feels too fussy

  • Overly flowy or tiered maxi skirts are dresses can throw off your proportions; Fit-and-flare style dresses that hug the torso and flare away from the hips (instead, our goal is to hug the hips and add volume to your top half)

Hi, hello! I’m Daniella.

I’m wife to Jon and mama to Stratton and Millie June. When I’m not chasing littles and our border collie, Pippa, you’ll find me reading Brené Brown or saving hair tutorials that I’ll never try.

I wholeheartedly believe that building a wardrobe that empowers your day is a critical, but all-too-often overlooked, form of self-care. After all, getting dressed in the morning can be one of the most stressful or most uplifting parts of our day. How are you waking up?

I've helped everyone from SAHMs and CEOs to teachers and young professionals find more space (in their closets and brains) and more confidence (in their outfits and lives).

I can't wait to help you create your oh-THIS-is-what-getting-dressed-should-be-like wardrobe so you always know what to wear today.
