Flares and skinnies and boyfriends, oh my!!!

Until I mastered the art of body shapes vs clothing shapes, I wore anything and everything whether it suited me or not and I thought i looked great. Until.... I looked back through the photo gallery and realized how wrong I was. At times I looked rounder than a pumpkin and other times I looked stumpy and others I looked great. That is when I decided to revisit the body shapes vs jeans and share my tips with you all.  

 We'd wear jeans every day if we could, but sometimes we wonder if we can pull a particular style off, and while the answer is yes! 
You can and should wear whatever you want, there are certain silhouettes that are more flattering than others. Here, the best pairs for petite, tall, curvy, straight and somewhere in between.

IF YOU'RE PETITE...TRY STRAIGHT-LEGGED CROPS



Just because you’re petite doesn’t mean you have to wear heels to look taller. Find a smart pair of jeans that hit just above the ankle to make your legs look a touch longer and that are fitted but not ultra-skinny as to not diminish your frame. A mid or high rise will have a similarly leg-lengthening effect, as will a pointy-toed flat.

IF YOU'RE TALL...TRY CROPPED FLARES
Let's get real, most jeans are a hair too short for you anyway. Make the point yourself with purposefully cropped pants that have an exaggerated hem. You may now proceed to flaunt any and all statement heels.

IF YOU'RE APPLE-SHAPED...TRY MINI FLARES
Think of this silhouette as falling somewhere between a bootcut and a full-on flare, which can sometimes come off as a little cartoonish. The slight kick at the bottom balances out a wider middle, and if you score these jeans in a stretch fabric, your toned legs will get that much more love.

IF YOU'RE PEAR-SHAPED...TRY HIGH-WAISTED TROUSERS
Want to fake miles-long legs? Wear floor-skimming jeans in a sophisticated trouser silhouette, obviously tailored to your height. The high rise draws attention to your slim waist, and the roomy legs hide any insecurities. To avoid feeling drowned in fabric, pair these with a cropped or tucked-in top.

IF YOU'RE AN HOURGLASS...TRY DARK-WASH SKINNIES
If you’ve got it, flaunt it, and if we’re talking about flaunting curves, fitted skinnies are still the way to go. A dark wash will streamline your whole look, while a stretch fabric will hug you in all the right places. Accessorize however you please.

IF YOU'RE BOYISH...TRY BOYFRIEND JEANS
No-brainer, right? The reason this works is because your ankles will strangely give you curves. If you're hoping to add shape to a straight-up-and-down frame, simply let the jeans hang loose and counter them with a more traditionally feminine pump. Then cuff the hem to draw the eye to a smaller part of your body, creating an optical illusion.
Hope these tips help you....

The power of the Haldi Ubtan

 Lil spice never stop the sun from shining... 😂😂😂 In my previous post named "Turmeric for clear, bright and acne free skin" posted on the mid 2017, are some variations to this haldi ubtan, used for various skin types and conditions. I have been using and speaking about 'Turmeric Masks" before most people  and companies have been investing time and testing into turmeric and it's properties.. The new craze is the 'Golden magic of turmeric', and people are buying into it, without knowing the history and origin of it.  Here's a bit of Background: 5000 years ago on the Indian subcontinent, men and women took care of their skin and hair during rituals connected with religion.   In the ancient   Ayurveda   tradition, face and body masks called  U btan   were applied and adjusted according to the season. Ubtan masks are in fact the very first cosmetic product ever used in the world. Ubtan is a mix of various herbs, p...
