Building A Wardrobe- Day #5- Your Body

I am so excited to start the 31 days of building a wardrobe on a budget series.  I am linking up with the Nesting Place.  Many bloggers are taking the challenge also! Visit the Nesting Place and check out the many topics.  There are seriously 100s!

RECAP

DAY #1- Organizing your closet

DAY #2- Shoes, Shoes Shoes

DAY #3- Accessories

DAY #4- Your Style

We have a cleaned closet, our shoes are clean, accessories are organized, we have our wardrobe catalog started and we have some great outfit inspirations.  What is next???

One of the most important parts of building a wardrobe is to know you body type and how to dress it.  Every woman is shaped different and our clothes are different.  I will tell you I am between a 18-20 with a 28inch inseam.  Yeah.. find that!! :)

I have found a couple GREAT resources for finding your body shape. 

#1- Use the Body Shape Calculater from shopyourshape.com

       You will need your body measurements

#2- Find out your body shape from Shape Guide

Once you have your body type take a looksy around the internet for the best clothing.  

Example:  I am a apple. Shirts with long necklines, empire waist and I need to be conscious of my broad shoulders.  I have been blessed with AWESOME broad shoulders but I don't want to look like a line backer. :)

You can also find me on Instagram and Twitter @mandyjeanchic

Instagram and Twitter are definitely more interactive for me.  I think I maybe obsessed.
