I'm not sure how to start of this kind of blog.. so I'll just start off by telling you a little about myself.

My name is Maida. I am 21 years old. I have a strong passion for styles. But I have a particular body type that can be hard to dress. So that makes shopping difficult. And I know that MANY woman have this problem! But the I believe the real trick to a good wardrobe is knowing specific styles that suit you and your body. I know my tricks and I like to think that I am knowledgable of what looks good on other body types as well. It was my mother that actually suggested that I started a blog. So here it is!

I think a good start to this blog is the biggest trick in the book. I will be repeating this many times. Ready?

- Know your weaknesses. Emphasize your strengths.

For example, I am short. Very short. I have short stubby legs (which any other short girl knows my pain in jean shopping..). But! I have a thin waist. So by emphasizing my waist, giving me an hourglass figure, it hides my thick short legs and gives the illusion that I am tall and thin.

Now someone who has the opposite problem, they can get away with different styles. For example, someone with long lean legs can really rock a skinny jean. If that same person has a wider waistline, great style they can match the skinny jean with, a flowy girly baby doll tee. It floats off the body, so not to pull focus on any muffin top, but the skinny jean shows off their long legs, making them look tall and thin.

We all want to look the same. We all want to look like barbie. Tall, skinny, and curvy. And the thing is, NOBODY looks like barbie! BUT! There are so many different ways that we can give the illusion like we do look like barbie. So, if you readers like this blog so far, please follow me! Then I can post pictures, maybe some sketches, and I'll definitely give more tips on how to dress well.

Thank you for reading
