Personal Profile for Body Type B
Volume 8 Issue 2 – January 10, 2013
MissusSmartyPants loves to shop for you!
This week’s style inspiration is from…Macy’s
Shirts & Tops

Shirts should be body skimming. Nothing baggy and nothing too tight either.

Shirts fitted with princess seams add shape and structure to your silhouette.

Shirts that are belted show off your waist. Even a skinny belt can help give you balance.

If waist is not defined, choose tops with busy patterns, ruching (side gathers) and wear your tops
untucked.

Good choices for B's are: wrap tops, t-shirts with deep v-necks, wide scoop necks and shirts with
some detailing at neckline.

For an undefined waist try Spanx Hide & Sleek Camisole to smooth under slinky tops.

The peplum trend continues into 2013! The NY Collection Top will enhance your hourglass shape. Wear
a dark pant or pencil skirt to keep your look balanced.

Personal Profile for Body Type B
Volume 8 Issue 2 – January 10, 2013
Follow the specific guidelines on each article of clothing when selecting clothes to buy. Also, use
these guidelines when deciding what to keep in your wardrobe. These sites and clothes are chosen
with your body type in mind. Remember fit is essential, NOT label size.
Bottoms

Choose only flat front pants. Avoid pleated pants because they add heft to your middle.

Pants should be mid-rise (below or at navel) and ease into a straight leg.

Average to taller “B’s” can wear a more flared pant.

A flare or boot-cut pant balances out the curve of your hips.

Shorts should be the length of a mini-skirt (mid-thigh), or should be at the knee (Bermuda, city
shorts) to be attractive on your legs.

Try Spanx Power Panty w/ Tummy Control under slinky pants and skirts.

MSP Says...
Blue is a great color to wear when you want to get away from wearing black or brown pants. The Style&co.
Pants are classic and dressy enough to wear to the office, yet, trendy enough to wear out on the town. They
will look great with a button-down shirt or a dressy blouse.

Jackets & Sweaters

Jackets and sweaters should have princess seaming to accentuate your curves.

Choose single button down styles that are semi-fitted.

Jackets and sweaters should hit from high hip to the hip bone.

Avoid jackets that cut your body into 2 halves or stop at the widest area on your hip.

Avoid heavy fabric or boxy jacket styles that hide your natural curves.

The Calvin Klein Coat is a classic coat style that you can wear for many years to come! It will add a ‘pop’
of color and style to any outfit you wear.

Skirts & Dresses

Pencil skirts that are slightly flared at the hemline flatter your shape.

Keep your top half simple when you skirt has a lot of design to it.

Average to taller B's can wear flats, shorter B's should wear at least a kitten heel with dresses and
skirt.

Best skirt length is at or just below the knee.

A-line skirts are good choices for B's because they are fitted at the waist and skim gently over your
hips.

MSP Says...
The Alfani Skirt is a great alternative to your everyday office skirt. The two-toned style has a slimming effect
that you will love. This skirt will look great with a black top and a pair of basic pumps. Wear sliver jewelry
to bring out the grey color of the skirt.

Shoes
What woman doesn’t love shoes? So many choices it’s insane! But choosing the right shoes shouldn’t make
you crazy if you follow the Missus Smarty Pants guidelines.
If The Shoe Fits. Shoes must be comfortable! Look for stores that offer narrow or wider widths to
properly accommodate your specific fit needs. Also, shop later in the day when your feet are at their largest.
Shoes that fit well are ones that you will grab and wear, again and again.
Choose Your Lifestyle. Choose shoes that fit your lifestyle. If you work in a professional business
setting, you will need more shoes to fit in this category. If you are a SAHM (stay at home mom) you will
need more shoes that are casual in nature-remember the object is to show your style; so not just 4 pairs of
white tennis shoes!
Take Shape. Take your body shape in account.
Short/petite- 2 ½” to 3” heels maximum. Beyond this you will look like you are walking on stilts and
leaning forward.
Thick/full ankles- Avoid any shoe that has ankle straps. This draws attention to them with a
horizontal line. Opt for pumps, sling backs and other slip on styles.
Curvy to Full Fashion Gals- Go easy on the skinny high heels. This look only highlights that you are
thicker in stature. Instead, wear a shoe that is 2 to 2 ½” with a stacked heel. This will even out your
proportions better.
