Body Type Series | Straight Body Type

September 28th, 2022 by

Let me set the record straight about straight body types. (I’m so corny!). Seriously, though. So many women with this body shape struggle to dress their bodies in a flattering way without recognizing that they are secretly supermodels. Sure, supermodels may have more inches when it comes to height and fewer inches everywhere else, but […]

How To Wear A Midi Dress Over 40

September 26th, 2022 by

I’m not typically a fan of wishy-washy trends. I like a dress that knows what it truly is and isn’t afraid to express it. A mini, for example, knows it’s short and sassy, while a maxi is long and breezy. But a midi? It can’t seem to make up its mind. Fortunately, I decided to […]

But you can’t blindly follow the guidelines for your body shape while ignoring other key elements of your body, like […]

Nada Saves Style | I Fix Your Outfits

March 7th, 2022 by

Styling is my superpower. It’s my only superpower, just in case anyone accuses me of bragging. I mean, I can’t do push-ups or dance or sew or craft. I’m an average cook and a mediocre homemaker. But I can style. And write about style. It’s always been my thing. Maybe I should get a cape… […]
