The Style
Shakedown

 Is delighted to bring you the first blog in the series of Leina Broughton style tips……Leina’s designs have been styled on Gorgi Coghlan from The Circle, recording artist Mama Kin and the cast of Winners & Losers, so we hope you find them useful.  Prepare yourself for a style-over!


It’s all about confidence…

For the next few blog posts I’ll be doing, I thought I would focus on a few specific styles and give you some style tips but also on what body shapes can rock the dress and how to accessorise.

I had to just start with the Double Layer Centre Contrast Dress with berry or fern centre, this been such a hit dress.

I can see you all flinching about the tiny wee waife that would be seen in this style but… no!!
This dress is ALL about confidence and curves. Rather than about the size it is more about your shape. The double layer finish means it conceals the lumpy bumps and highlights the curves…

As it is a fitted style it works best on someone who has boobs, booty and a shaped waist! If you are a bit thicker through the waist you might need to add in a belt to create the waist shaping. I love this grey marle belt…

Shoes?? Well my motto of the season must be nude, nude, nude. They go with all the colors in your wardrobe and take the focus away from your feet… As this is such a statement dress, I think try these elevated wedges. They take a little while to get used to but are a great alternative to get the height without the wobble!

Accessories?? If you go ahead with the wedge, a single color resin bracelet is spot on. Maybe try the green or otherwise a clear color is a great addition to your wardrobe. Like the nude shoe, it goes with everything…

Just remember beauty comes in all shapes and sizes but the best thing in your wardrobe will always be your confidence…

Big smile, strong walk, head high and own your look!!
