A Silhouette Every Girl Should Have In Her Closet
It’s universal across all women; we all want to look good and feel good in our clothing! You don’t have to be a genius to figure that out. The real mystery is- what silhouette would flatter the average woman? With so many body types, what is really flattering to the real woman? Well, there are several different silhouettes that are a safe bet for most but my personal favorite is… fit and flare!
It’s a style that’s common in dresses, but can also be achieved with a skirt. This flattering silhouette has a tighter fit above the waist and an adorable, feminine flare at the bottom. Because it accentuates the waist, you can add a belt for an even more flattering look.
I had my eye on this particular fit and flare dress for a while on the Banana Republic website. It’s fabulous because it has a slight high/low hem, exposed zipper on the back, and it’s made with a high quality fabric. The website explains that the high/low hem allows it to drape in a more flattering way. They had that right! It really is a very comfortable and flattering dress. It’s the perfect investment! And it happens to be on sale right now.

Cute Dress Christine- Love the blue color. Are you wearing pantyhose with that outfit? What shade and brand?
Thank you!! They're actually nude colored tights. I prefer to wear something on my legs to work because it's more comfortable and flattering. Actual pantyhose are too delicate and don't last. I got these tights at Shoprite- they're inexpensive, they have the same look, and they last! I'm not sure of the brand and my Shoprite has only had black lately. I'm sure they can be found other places!
