I found Trinny & Susannah’s Book at the local library and I am absolutely loving it so far! I’m a firm believer that we are all equally beautiful in our own way and this book re-asserts this notion, by saying you too can feel sexy and confident, and it’s not by being a size 2. It’s about knowing your body shape and dressing it to highlight you assets, and hide your not so flattering areas. You’ve gotta love being female! The book also points out that sometimes the fashion and style choices we make are actually working against our assets – no we don’t want that do we!
Which one are you?
Like I said, you don’t need to be a size 2 – so forget your size! We’re here to talk about body shapes! Trinny and Susannah outlined 12 in their book. What do you think you are? When you find out you can read online and in the books some tips on how to better understand your proportions and dress stylishly and confidently to flatter your figure. We are all different, it’s time to embrace your assets! Here’s a basic guide to the shapes, pics courtesy of The Daily Mail and of course, the original book itself.
