Question: “Hi Caryn
I am size 24 with cup size 36F and need to know if I can wear prints and what shape suits me best to flatter my bust? A lot of my friends are wearing high waisted belts but I find them uncomfortable and they make my bust look bigger, especially as I am also short in the body. Please help."
Sarah

Hi Sarah
Choose strong, graphic prints as they will detract from your bust area. Square necklines or wrap style tops are great for anyone who has a fuller cup size. This square neck top from Evans is exactly what you should purchase as the print is great for you, as well as the black border which also helps to detract from your bust area and moves the eyes down to the print below. 3⁄4 sleeves are also a good option and very in fashion this season.

Question: “Dear Caryn
I love boob tubes but get frustrated as I always seem to end up pulling them up, especially when I am dancing which I do a lot as I go to salsa lessons to keep fit. I don’t want to wear vests as I don’t think they are as sexy is there some miracle that is around? I hear celebrities wear tape?!"
Jackie

Hi Jackie
Celebrities do wear tape but this is mainly to keep their bust area covered when wearing plunging necklines. I don’t think you need to resort to this; instead you could opt for a top that is halter neck, which is just as sexy as a strapless top but will ensure that when you are being flung around you won’t need to worry!

Question: "Hi Caryn
I am looking for a coat to buy that makes a chic statement, a little bit alternative, without being too fussy or too high fashion. I am in my mid 40’s’s and love fashion but don’t want to look like I am trying too hard and certainly don’t want to look like my teenage daughter. Have you seen anything?"
Diana

Hi Diana
Coats are wonderful as they really can dress up any outfit. There are going to be a lot of black military style coats but I am thinking that everyone else is going to buy one so I would avoid them. Instead go for something that is not black (straight away a good alternative) such as navy or chocolate and definitely something that is just below the knee to ensure what you wear underneath doesn’t sit below the hem of the coat (not a good look). Subtle prints that sit on the hem line could be a great choice, such as this one by Boden. Team with long boots and knitted hat and gloves to finish off the chic look.

Question. “Hi Caryn
I am a size 14 and really don’t like my waist so I don’t like to wear anything that clings. I really want a dress that I can wear day and night which is fashionable."
Sally

Hi Sally
A lot of women find their waist line is the problem area as this is where women can easily put on weight. Fashion wise there are a few tricks you can try to help aid you to a slimmer waist. The first is the belt; this is huge for winter and a lot of dresses look great with one. The trick is to go for a thick belt so that it has a corset effect around your waistline. Another trick is to wear controlled underwear such as a spanx available from most department stores, or high controlled knickers, these ensure that the excess is evenly distributed around the body so you don’t get a bulge. The third is to go for a tea style dress that has a dropped waist. The 40’s is extremely fashionable this season, the great thing about this dress is that you can wear with a black polo neck in the day and opaque tights and then on it own in the evening.

Question. "Dear Caryn
I am trying to save to buy a flat and need to look at ways to cut back on my spending. One of my biggest expenses is clothes! What keys things do I need to buy to stay in with the fashion trends for Winter and that I can wear not just for my office job, I am a PA so have lots of shirts. I already have a good pair of jeans, lots of shoes and a winter coat. I am a curvy size 12-14."
Linda

Hi Linda
The key to success to look at your wardrobe and then work out what you need to buy to combine your existing wardrobe into outfits.
Apart from the things you have told me you have, I would image you have some smock tops, dresses, maybe a pencil skirt, boots and a coat you wore last year.

So I would suggest you stick to buying a few limited pieces such as a waistcoat to go over the smock tops and dresses to update them to the new hour glass shape, a good quality black polo neck to go under dresses, with some thick black or coloured opaque tights. Keep your coat and add a thick belt and cap to give the military look. Your boots will be able to go with most of these looks.

The blouse has also replaced the shirt and the pussy cat bow is great for the office and night worn with a pencil skirt or trousers or for the weekend worn with jeans. Remember it is about simply wearing your new buys and swapping them around with your existing buys.
