Sea Goddess & Lady in Red

Happy Tuesday, readers! 

We hope you're keeping cool in this insane heat wave. The sun has been giving us good excuses to head to the beach, which of course, we don't mind at all. :) 

Last post, we mentioned that H doesn't normally wear black because it doesn't work as well with her skin tone. While darker colors tend to make her look gloomy, warm colors, such as this fiery red, brightens her up.  

The simple shape of the dress helps elongate H's body and the light material gives it a graceful flow. The gold belt also helps cinch at the waist, which is always a great way to create the illusion of an hourglass body. 

One of H's favorite parts about this dress is that there was room to breathe in the chest area! It sounds silly, but it's a totally valid concern. Flowy dresses often provide more movement in the leg area, but is constricting up top. 

Comfort and movement is probably one of the best things about Modcloth's clothes. Their designs tend to cater to women of different body shapes. Big ups to them for being design conscious! 

A, on the other hand, looks amazing in blue. Our dresses may appear similar in shape, but don't be deceived. Our body types are actually quite different. She's more pear shaped, so the flowiness of this dress works well for her; H is a bit more of an inverted triangle, so a good fit for the chest area is important. 

A's gold trinket for her outfit is this geometric necklace. It gives a bit of an oomph to her simple outfit. 

 

And A's favorite part of this dress? There's a lot of movement, giving her the freedom to eat, dance, and be merry at any event she may wear this to. :)

Are you ready for your next event? What dress style is your favorite?

xoxo,
H & A
