“If you’re gonna buy an outfit, buy a dress…”

So I’ve been a little obsessed with Marc Jacobs quote lately ,“If you’re gonna buy an outfit buy a dress cause then at least you’re dressed!”, and as a result of this I’ve gone dress crazy!

One of my fabulous suppliers down in Cape Town popped into visit me this week and brought some fabulous Lipsy dresses, some I’ve seen before others new, but this time round I was hooked and had to have them! Needless to say I ordered some for the store and some for an event I will be attending (ah the joys of being a fashion buyer)…

Anyway I think M J has a point about the whole buy a dress thing because you just cant go wrong. The best place to start when buying your perfect outfit is with your body type, always buy the cut that suits your body type best!

Fashion Tip of the Week: Dress for your Body Type

* Apple: If you are apple shaped look for dresses that are flat fronted and fasted on the side.

* Hour Glass: If you have the perfect hour glass shape, anything with a v-neck line and pencil skirt will do wonders for you!

* Pear: A wide scooped neck line will balance your chest area with the rest of your body.

These are just some of the body shapes out there, according to Trinny and Susannah there are 12 different body shapes! Stay posted for photos from my fabulous event rocking my favourite Lipsy dress :)
