A rose by any other name πΉ You likely have curves for days, struggle to find jeans that fit both your waist and hips at the same time, and have sworn off of blazers and Oxfords (who needs buttons anyway)? β¬οΈ
Your shape is rose
YOUR GOAL
Show off your killer curves and small waist. Maintaining the balance of your hips and shoulders will be key, as we donβt want to throw off your already lovely proportions.
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 donβt want your clothes to βflatterβ you π ββοΈ I want them to *fit* you
πFit β flatter (aka βDo I look good in this?)
πFit = function (aka βIs this garment doing its job?β)
Wearing clothes that donβt fit well (i.e. they arenβt 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.
Thatβs why the following recommendations are split into go-toβs vs. fits that likely wonβt work hard enough for you.
This is not a βwear this not thatβ list.
This is your permission slip to only wear clothes that work hard enough for you.
Your go-to pieces
-
Fun necklines β V-neck, scoop neck, sweetheart, square, strapless, you name it
-
Tapered, straight- or wide-leg pants that balance a larger chest and show off your waist
-
Playful sleeves such as flutter or cap mimic your curves
-
Wrap or and body-con dresses highlight your curves
Fits that donβt work hard enough
-
Turtlenecks + mock necks and boat necks that overemphasize your shoulders and/or chest and create the dreaded uni-boob effect
-
If you have a large chest and struggle with button downs, I give you permission to let them go β life is too short
-
Shift dresses and boxy skirts that hide your shape
-
Overly flowy or tiered maxi skirts are dresses can throw off your proportions

Iβm wife to Jon and mama to Stratton and Millie June. When Iβm not chasing littles and our border collie, Pippa, youβll find me reading BrenΓ© Brown or saving hair tutorials that Iβll never try.

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.
