its not all just black and white

so im going to kill two birds with one stone

im going to pair a bodycon skirt that could quite possibly by hard to style, and show you two ways to wear it... but!! for two different body types!! im going to try and start styling outfits for a couple different body types in each outfit blog!

it can be hard to know what to wear sometimes but if you start off with a base then you can have an idea of where you want to go with your outfit.

my first rule of thumb is to find that one thing you want to wear and if its simple you can afford to go a little crazy, and vice versa.

so here we go!!

1. lovely curves

so if you have curvy hips like me wearing a bodycon skirt might make you feel self conscious, but heres what to do!!



go for a black and white stripped skirt, but if you get a horizantal stripe you can make your hips look even bigger, so stick with vertical stripes because they are visually slimming.

also because your skirt is form fitting go for a top with more volume.

a sweatshirt terry material is perfect for a more casual day-time look.

add a cable knit beanie to keep your head warm, and to add a cute accessory.

stack some bracelet on one wrist in different colors

and some black fringe boots for a fun relaxed vibe



sticking to dark neutrals is also slimming for your curvy body. it draws the eyes inward making you appear thinner.





2. No. 2 Pencil

if you're thin you can afford to wear horizantal stripes and it can add curve to your body


wearing a thick stripped skirt will add some curve to your hips without overwhelming your lower half.

annnnnddd... because your skirt is tight fitting go for more volume on top.

wear a black tank and tuck it into your skirt


to mix some more pattern into your outfit throw a tribal patterned sweater over the look.



to add some sparkle add a silver statement necklace



for a casual look, and to add some color wear a pair of red (or whatever color you want) low-top converse


if you want to dress the look up loose the sweater and switch out the converse for a pair of heels.




so thats how i'd wear my bodycon skirt. obviously you can wear whichever you want, but if you get self conscious like me little tricks can help to make you add or loose curves!

have fun <3!
