“How do I get dressed to a dinner party with a ‘pear’ shape body?”

How do I get dressed to a dinner party with an Azorias outfit because my body is ‘pear’ shape? Can u help me?

-Juliawatty-

A ‘pear’ body shape is a body issue that many women struggle with. But it is easy to celebrate this sexy body shape, with one simple tip– fitted waist with a full skirt! This silhouette gives the illusion of a smaller waist, and the full skirt disguises a heavier bottom, and in fact, is suitable for most body types, even skinnier girls with a boyish figure, as it is one of the most feminine silhouettes out there.

For a dinner party, we chose our Baroque jacquard satin dress for a classic look, but we dressed it up with some fancy jewelry such as ornate earrings and cocktail rings. Instead of going for neutral heels, we added a little surprise to the outfit with a pair of bright red pumps– Dorothy, move aside. A clutch always look elegant for a dinner party, as opposed to satchels and carry-bags.

How to wear a button-up.

We saw this genius illustration on Tumblr depicting our favorite ways to wear a buttoned-up shirt (best basic ever), and we couldn’t wait to share it with you girls!

 

We were so inspired by the illustration that we went ahead and created two style sets:

 

#1 Knotted with something highwaisted

Featuring:

Detachable diamante collar waist-tie shirt

Jewel and chainlink print swing skirt

What better way to show off this look than our Detachable diamante collar waist-tie shirt? We love that the bejeweled collar is detachable to reveal a mandarin collar– talk about versatility. The knotted waist adds a pin-up vintage flair to the outfit (not to mention, it emphasizes the waist too!), and the jewel/ chainlink print skirt in a unique shade of mint is the perfect complement to jazz up the whole look! Whether you are going with a pair of fierce heels or ballet flats, this look is for the fashion-loving style maven.

 

#2 The best kind of sweater set


Featuring:

Rosette-trimmed collared shirt,

Floral print chiffon sweater

Scallop-trimmed highwaist shorts

Before you go “Whoa, South-East Asia is too warm for sweaters”, just hear us out, because we have just the solution for you. A sheer chiffon sweater? How come we have never thought of that! Perfect as a top by itself, and lightweight enough to be layered over your outfits, we just can’t get enough of the Floral print chiffon sweater. To add more dimension to the outfit, we went with a rosette-trimmed collar, so that you have pretty details peeking out of the sweater. Too keep the look proportionate, we threw on a pair of shorts with scallop-trimmings (notice how it’s all in the finer details?), but a pair of cuffed jeans will look real preppy-chic with this sweater set as well.

We hope you are inspired by all these different ways to wear a buttoned-up, and if you have any other ideas, please share with us too!
