Dress to flatter your figure.

Good morning all you lovelies! I stumbled upon this video with some great tips about flattering your figure. Remind yourself that it is not the size on the tag that matters on your clothes, it's looking good and showing off your best assets in your clothes! Hope this helps any of you who might be struggling with finding the right fit.

Happy Thursday.....Friday is just around the corner!

What you wear underneath DOES make a difference.

Bras oh bras....where to begin? As my, very wise, mom told me once "A good bra is definitely something we should buy for ourselves as we get older and especially after having kids, yet it is the one thing that we don't really buy". I have to say that she has never been more right! She made that comment when my two kids and I were visiting her in Lakewood, CO and after she made that comment, she took me to buy 3 good, supportive, contouring bras. That has seriously been the best gift (okay for being an adult;) she has gotten me. I love my Warner's contouring bras, and they are very reasonably priced too! A good fitting bra improves your look in general, how you look underneath your clothes, and it helps with your posture. My suggestion would be to go get fitted, yes you can do it yourself but I say to have it done, and invest in at least 3 good bras. Even if they are a little more expensive than you are used to, trust me, you won't be sorry you did. I can't tell you how much better I look in tighter shirts with my good bras and how much more confident I am when wearing a more fitted shirt. I have posted some great selections from Warner's bras, that are very reasonably priced, and they have many, many more to choose from for all sizes here:barenecesities.com . Also, there are many brands that offer great support and fits....I just happen to be a new fan of Warner's! Oh, and they feel so nice, sleek and soft on your skin too!

Here are some awsome styles, from Fashion Form bras, for those tops that we love but cannot go with out a bra with. Seriuosly, don't go with out one if you know you probably shouldn't. Find a speciality bra for that low back, strapless, or low cut front top. There are many more of these specialty bras found here: fashionform.com . Just thought I would show that they are out there!

**OK, one more thing. ALWAYS wear a nude colored bra under a white, or very pale colored, t-shirt or fitted blouse....looks nicer, cleaner, classier and more put together.

Give yourself a break.

Sometimes as a mom it can be hard to find the time, and motivation, to get yourself all "dolled up" when leaving the house with kids to run errands, meet up with friends, or just plain get out of the house. It's OK! We can put pressure on ourselves to feeling like we have to look top notch when stepping out, and sometimes I think we just have to learn that it really is OK to not dress to the 9's every time we leave the house. I posted some pictures of celeb moms who are in the spotlight quite a bit and have seemed to have found that "mommy hood" does not always allow the time for some extra TLC with our hair, make up, and clothes. They still look good,of course, just not as glamed up. Sometimes that is just the reality when you have a screaming little one hanging on your legs while trying to apply your blush! So give yourself a break, and know that time taken from you to get ready, is time well spent with your little ones!

Don't forget...... have those "glam moments" though, they do wonders for your mood, self image, and even your attitude towards all that comes with being a mommy!
