Many women do have a boyish figure. And many have no clue how best to style this body shape. You have a boyish figure if your bust and hips are a similar width, with a small bust and no defined waist.

Every body shape is beautiful and you can make the most of by your figure by following these style tips –

 

Create an illusion of a defined waist

With a boyish figure, there is usually no defined waist. However, you can create an illusion of a was it with a wide belt on a loose blouse and full skirt. It works like magic!

 

Show the legs off

Most ladies with boyish figures having long slim legs. Make sure you make the most of this gift by showing the legs off as often as possible. Opt for an A-line mini skirt to show off the legs and create an illusion of a waist too!

 

Avoid high-waisted jeans & wide-legged trousers

Avoid high-waisted jeans and trousers. They eliminate curves and make you look even less curvy. Also stay away from wide-legged trousers/jeans for the same reasons.

Go skinny

Skinny jeans/trousers are the way to go for most body shapes, and it is no different with the boyish shape. They look great on most women when styled properly. When wearing skinny jeans, ensure you wear a different shape on top for the right look. Pairing skinny jeans with a loose-fitting top is a great way to style.

 

Opt for horizontal stripes

For most body shapes, horizontal stripes do not work but they do for the boyish shape because of the slim upper body. Horizontal stripe pieces help to create an illusion of a bigger bust, which is what a boyish figure needs.

 

These are my 5 style tips for styling the boyish body shape. Do you have any tips to style share? Please sound off in the comments section below.

3 Ways to be Kind this Christmas

December 18, 2017 By in Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , , , 24 Comments

Christmas is in the air and we need to remember to be kind. It is a season of giving and receiving. And one of the things I want to ensure I give everyday going forward is Kindness. I want to go out of my way to be deliberately kind to strangers and people I may never see again. I think being kind is as good for the person on the receiving end, as it is for the person being kind. Kindness is very contagious and it has been proven to help lengthen life expectancy and a variety of mental health issues. A kind act a day can help keep the therapist away.

One thing you must remember is that you should be kind for the sake of it, and not to get something back in return. That defeats the whole objective.

So how can you be kind this today. Here are 3 ways –

 

Be Supportive

I wrote a post about how to keep going without support and I was glad to see it touched so many people. Being supportive is a great way to show kindness. We all need a form of support system, so offering some kind of support to as many people as you can is always a good deed. Research has also showed that offering some kind of support to others can help reduce our worries.

So go out of your way to be support this Christmas season and after.

 

Complain Less

I try as much as possible to not complain. Sometimes it is impossible but I always remember so many millions of people have it a lot worse. That keeps me sane and humble. Complaining less is an act of kindness for me at least. It helps my state of my mind when I remain thankful and I am sure many feel the same way.

Excessive complaints are so negative and they spoil the mood for everyone involved. Touch a life today by complaining  less.

 

Give to Charity

There are so many charities to support, there should be no excuse with this act of kindness. I like to give back to as many charities as I can and this Christmas, I have a few in mind to reach out to. It feels great to support people in need. I get a bit of a high whenever I do.

You don’t have to spend money to support a charity. Sending pre-loved toys, shoes and clothing could put a smile on so many faces this Christmas.

Satin Eyeshadow

This medium-soft pencil glides on smoothly for easy application thanks to Carnauba and Candelilla waxes. High colour pigments and Beeswax provide good coverage and an optimum, easily blendable texture.

Ophthalmologist tested, LOLA Eye Pencils can be used inside or outside the eye and come with a handy smudger tool.
