I love springtime!
The cheerful colors, the fragrant scents and, of course, the warm weather…no wonder everyone’s got a sunny disposition.
It’s a great time for fashion too.
This spring/summer season is no exception.
The overall focus is a fresh take on classic patterns, prints and colors and less on new shapes.

Me too! I’ve found it nearly impossible (and definitely less fun!) to not wear spring styles right now.

I’ll admit it…I’m busty. My bosoms are not as big as some, but they’re certainly bigger than others. Sometimes they’ve been a blessing and sometimes a curse. Honestly, I am just grateful my girls are healthy!
Can you relate?
So I get it! Large breasts can be a challenge to dress, especially on the job where your goal is to appear competent and feel confident.
For so many years we’ve been told big breasts spell trouble and many of us have grown to feel shame around a substantial bustline, but I for one, promote being proud of the body you are blessed with, so my approach is to package it with pride!
In terms of the science part of fashion, your main objective is to create overall body proportion and the most effective way to do this when you’re well endowed is to redirect viewer’s eyes to other parts of your body. It’s all about controlling where the ‘eye’ goes.
Above are some of my top tips and tricks for you to easily maximize your style. Lots of options!
Are there other anatomical challenges you would like specific tips and tricks on dressing?
