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

Happy holidays! 

Whether it's that family get together or office party, you want to have the perfect outfit. 

Red is definitely festive and is the perfect hue to be your pop of color! 

A's A-line dress (how perfect) accentuated her figure, but was still classy. She paired it with a leather jacket to make it edgier and per usual, added a necklace for "pizazz."

H picked an outfit that would be fun for an office party. The skirt was a bit more form-fitting, so adding tights in keeps things classy. And to avoid her feet getting drowned out by the black coloring, wearing red heels is a good way to balance things out. 

A's outfit can be very versatile for different events; it's proper enough for a family get together, but still edgy chic enough to go out at night for that drink with the girls. By wearing nude heels, she created her "legs for days" look; skin colored shoes tend to lengthen you and it's a good way to show off that remaining tan from the summer, especially in sunny SoCal!

H's outfit had several components to it, so she kept her hair simple; for this outfit, putting your hair up in a bun is also a good option because it keeps the focus on your clothes. And that bracelet? It has a hedgehog and mushroom charm! (Yes, we can do a charm bracelet tutorial in the new year!)

The shoes were a courtesy of our friend, Linh. Check out her blog at linhwinn.blogspot.com! She's got great style and is a big reason why we started our blog. 

Kiss, kiss! Merry mistletoe, everyone!
