From Black Jeans to Salmon Shorts

Hey, guys! I have been so busy lately. I'm on summer vacation! So I have been doing a lot of crafts in between and this is just a small DIY I did. I had some black jeans that I no longer wore so I cut them, shredded them(I will be doing a tutorial on this), bleached them, and distressed them! Originally I thought they were going to come out khaki. But....no! I'm okay with that! I LOVE this color. I used this cutting method. Instead of dying them in a large bowl like this, I used the spray bottle method all over. I didn't want it to be all one color. I wanted some areas darker than other areas!

For the distressing on the side, I used the tweezers method. I will include this in the Shredding Tutorial.

Style Profile of: Alexus

 Meet Alexus! Our 2nd Curvy Gal!
Her style is super cute!

1. Who are your style icons?
I don't really have any style icons but one I would say is Rihanna.
2. What do you look for when you buy clothes?  
When I buy clothes I look for something that I know I could change up multiple times to create something totally new. (And I also try to find something I know not many people have)
3. What are your favorite things to wear? Why?
I love wearing Fedoras! , Because it could "nothing" outfit into "something"
4. Where do you like to shop?  
Hands down I LOVE thrift stores. Especially Good Will and The Salvation Amy, but every now and then I go to H&M to a few things.
5. Describe your style.
My style.... My style is bold and out there. I don't dress like other people do, I love being different. One day I could be 90s then the next I could be 50s and the next who knows what! I never like to keep anything the same to where you could predict what I’m going to wear the next day; I'm just forever changing and evolving my style. But I like to keep my style ranging from 20s - 90s influence.
6. What trends do you love at the moment?
The trends like at the moment are the whole retro / vintage movement. I feel as though I relate to this more than I do other trends.
7. How can TCATC Readers learn more about you? Twitter? Tumblr?

Style Profile of: Toni

So let's get started. Here is Toni's Style Profile.

Meet Toni! Our 1st Curvy Profile!

Toni has amazing style and knows how to work her curves!

1. Who are your style icons?
I really don't have a specific person who's style captures my attention. My style is very original & all me.

2. What do you look for when you buy clothes?
With me, it depends, being by I'm not the girliest girl to know. I'm an unexpected shopper, meaning when I go shopping, It's at unexpected moments, so I never know what I'm going to buy.

3. What are your favorite things to wear? Why?
I love wearing V-Necks, off-the-shoulder shirts, button down shirts, shorts & jeans. They all tie into to my personality, so to speak.

4. Where do you like to shop?
Forever 21, Hollister, H&M. When I go to New York, I shop in the SoHo (Lower Manhattan) & NoHo (Upper Manhattan) area.

5. What trends do you love at the moment?
The daisy duke shorts, wedges, cargo pants, fitted skirts (not too short), sundresses and shoulder bags.

6. Describe your style.
My style makes me unique because I don't have just one specific style. It's very laidback. One day, I'll rock cargo pants & a white v-neck. The next day, it's something totally different like a sundress. I keep it classy with a tomboy sort of edge.

7. How can TCATC Readers learn more about you?Twitter? Tumblr?

Curvy's Stydols!

Okay. Let me explain the title! Stydol just means Style Idol. I simply combined the two.

Now that we have settled that, I would like to introduce you to my Stydols! I have 2. Just 2. Totally opposite! One day, I may feel super girly! The next, I may feel very rocker-ish, or like a tomboy. Hmm, Who are they?



Who do you think it is?



*drum roll*

Yep! Rihanna. I mean, everyone knows I'm obsessed with her style! She is so beautiful and remarkable at her career. I look up to her! Most of the things she wears I get inspired to find for myself! I also have red hair so I try to not look like I'm mocking her but I do sample some things she wears. When I am feeling a bit edgy, I tend to channel my inner Rihanna. Can you blame me? She is fierce! Everything she wears I LOVE!

 

I just love her! She is so brave with her fashion choices. Not to mention, she is always being different! Her hair always changes, her style, her beauty! But one thing remains the same. She will always be my Stydol!


Okay now you know my edgy inspiration. Let me introduce you to my girly insides!


*drum roll*



Taylor Swift! How can you not love her?! She is beautiful, fun, and a great person. I wish I could meet her! One day I plan to.
Anyhoo, I love her style because it is super girly and fashionable. I love her music and when I listen to it, I picture outfits that go with it. It seems like her style is a reflection of her fun, upbeat songs. Maybe that's how I look at it. But there is no doubt she is bomb!

Male & Female Body Types: Guidelines (TT)

It is important to know your body types as well as what looks flattering on your figure, Curveless and I wanted to bring you the full get down so you will know what you are and learn to be comfortable with yourself—if you are not already.

Curveless and I have very different body types but we still manage to dress accordingly.

Curvy’s Body Type: Purple and a hint of Green

Curveless’ Body Type: Orange and Blue

No body type is bad. I appreciate my figure; however, I’m sure everyone has that one thing they wish was different. But we have to learn to work with it! With that being said we have broken down each body type to show you!

Pinks: Your body type is a Diamond. This means your midsection is wide. Wear clothing that will get the focus away from your waist and make your shoulders look wider. Focus on tops with wide necklines, tight under breasts, and flows over your stomach. Wear pants that have wide legs. Focus on clothes that draw they eye up; not down.
Red: Your body type is Triangle. This means your lower half is not balanced with your upper body. Usually, people with this body type have short legs. I suggest wearing pumps to make your legs appear longer. You should wear pants that are NOT high waisted to avoid looking "chunky". I would not suggest wearing low necklines.
Orange: Your body type is Rectangle. This means you have a straight edge to your body. With this body type, it is extremely important to wear things that give your that feminine touch; if not, you could look manly. I highly suggest wearing A-Line skirts and tulip skirts. I suggest round necklines and puffy skirts.
Yellows: You are an Apple. This means your midsection is round and your top and bottom are not flat. Find tops that create a defined waste. This will give your top more dimension. You can do tops with wraps, belts, or anything creating an emphasis on waist. For bottoms it's better to wear fuller pants, skinnies will look good but not as good as wide legged jeans. Go for embellishments on your bottoms they will make your bottom half POP. Tiered and bubble skirts are key to your shape.
Purples: This mean you are balanced; like an hourglass. Find tops with narrow v-necks and tops nipping and the waist to show off you curvy waist. Dark tops and tailored are the best for you. For bottoms choose a nice embellished pocket. Boot cut and slightly flared jeans are the best! A line shirts are what hot with you.
Blues: You body type is an Inverted Triangle. This means your upper body is not bigger than your lower body. What you want to do is define your waist. Like oval and hour-glass find something that has a nip at the waste to give your top more dimension. Straight legs are better because they can balance out your top half. Skirts that hit your knee's are perfect for you. Choose a skirt that can add extra volume to your bottom area. It makes it seem fuller.
Greens: You are a Rounded Hourglass. This means your upper body and lower body is balanced, but your edges are round. Wide necklines are your best friend. They create equality with your bottom half.Look for details at the neck such as ties or buttons. No tight shirts but not too loose as well. Get a shirt that fits you perfectly. Skirts and trousers that fit just below the waistline are for you. No tight skirts or pants for you either.Slight cut a-lines are best.

MALES: We didn’t leave you out!

Key Notes for MEN:
If you have a large tummy, avoid tucked in shirts. This can draw the eye down when it should be up.
If you have body type D, you have a common body type. You can wear virtually anything.
If you have body type B, wear straight or wide leg pants and fitted shirts and jackets.
If you have body type C, wear things to emphasize your shoulders. You want to create a body type D.
If you have body type A, wear jackets with padded shoulders to look balanced.
If you have body type E, you want to create a longer torso. Wear things that make you look slim.
