Shop your Shape ~ Hourglass

Today's Shop your Shape series will focus on the highly coveted Hourglass figure.



If you have an Hourglass figure, lucky you! Your bust and hips are equally proportioned and you have a small & defined waistline. You have rounded shoulders that align with your hips giving you a well balanced look. Your upper body is proportionate to the length of your legs, which are shapely and you have a curvy but not heavy bottom. When gaining weight your body shows it evenly not just in the waist, thighs or hips.



When I think of celebrities with hourglass figures these divas come to mind: 


Marilyn Monroe, Halle Berry, Amber Rose, Scarlett Johansonn & Salma Hayek.












Since the Hourglass figure is so well balanced and proportionate it is nearly impossible to make it look bad. You can accentuate your waistline with those trendy wide belts. You also have great legs so feel free to play up their shape and wear shorter dresses & skirt lengths. Lastly you tend to have a generously sized bust so wearing V necks or plunging neck lines is also flattering.  The key to dressing this shape or figure is accentuating the waist and playing up your assets. 


The Hourglass or X figure is my coveted shape so my mission has been to slim my waistline but also keeping my womanly curves in tact ♥
