Great deals on cute camis

Hello......is every store having major summer sales or what?!  My husband and I went to dinner and strolled through the mall afterwards and I swear, every store had big sale flyers in the windows.  I wasn't too much in a shopping mood but I did get a few basics that happen to be on big discounts.

I often wear camisoles because I am somewhat self-conscious of my hips.  I tend to favor slightly longer tops and often times layer a light cami to help with average length tops.  I have several basic camis from WHBM and was pleased to discover some new styles, several of which are on sale.  

This cami would be great for women blessed with a long torso or even those ladies expecting.  $10.99, marked down from $40.00

This 3/4 sleeve seamless tee would be great under a fall sweater or jacket and is half-priced at $19.99.  They also offer a short-sleeve seamless tee for a lighter choice and just $26.25.

This basic scoop-neck cami comes in either black or white, gray, navy or bone and is a good all-around for most outfits plus, it's just $18.75, marked down from $25.00

This corset cami is marked down from $50.00 to $29.99 and would be nice under a cardi.  With so much detail, including lace on all sides, it could even double with some skinny jeans for a GNO.  Another choice with just as much detail but not so structured would be this cami, marked down to $30.00.

This lace trim compression cami helps a touch with smoothing and is in black or white and priced at $45.00.

Happy shopping my friends!

 

The perfect dress for female athletes

I started playing soccer at 11 years old.  I look a lot like my mom from the waist up and am a combo of my dad and a long-time soccer player from the waist down.  Some call it pear shaped, some call it curvy, some call it an athletic build.  One thing I do know is it can be very frustrating to shop for jeans and slacks.

Often times, I find it much easier to wear a skirt or dress.  I am a size smaller in the waist than I am in the legs.  I spend a lot of time (and money) having to get bottoms tailored so I don't end up with the big gap in the back of the waist area.  

I have found that White House Black Market carries several styles of dresses, perfect for my body type. The fit I have found works best is a fitted bodice (narrow through the top) a nipped waist and then a-line shape to just above my knees.  I recently picked up a couple of their dresses with a "drop-waist" and those made my mid-section look even slimmer and a more lean silhouette.  They had some super cute "tulip" style dresses but I found them to make me feel a little self-conscious and look like I was trying to conceal, the area I was trying to conceal.  

I love shopping at WHBM, they always get new looks in and rotate sales. Most of the dresses are $175-$250 full priced, but I pop in often and catch sales so I always have a dress ready for my next event.  

Shape is the most important factor to me so I try and stay "a dress ahead" of what I have going on so I don't have to shop in a rush and end up with something I don't love.

Here are some of my recent favorites.
