Layers aren't just for dip.

It's been awhile. I am just coming out of my layers I've been swaddling myself in for the past several months. Which brings me to the topic of the day: Layers.

If you don't currently dress in layers, you must. Now. Not sure how? Just start layering - you will figure it out. Here are a few tips:

1. Supportive Bra. There is no excuse for you to not have proper support. I will post on what to look for in a good bra soon.
2. Anti-back-fat tank top. Control the jiggle, tuck it in, and rock it.
3. Long tank top. Cut your rear-end in half while staying modest on the top.
4. Shirt of the day. It can be flashy, fun, or whatever you prefer, but do yourself a favor and make sure that you will have seams in the right spot. If you are wearing a t-shirt (which I am NOT a big fan of...what does that do for us? Makes us look blobby!), pair it with a structured hoodie. If you are wearing a polo or button down without a "completer piece" (see number 5), it should have seams on each side of the chest to keep your bodice from looking lumpy.
5. If you so choose, pair your shirt with a cardigan, sweater, or structured jacket.
6. Accessories. Big girls need big bags...and don't forget the jewelry!

Please feel free to comment or email me (personatilee at gmail.com) with any specific questions. My goal for this spring and summer is to have pictures to define exactly what I am talking about!
