Free The Skinny Confidential: A Babe's Sexy, Sassy Health and Lifestyle Guide by Lauryn Evarts

work for you. Super white, tight jeans just don’t flatter everyone.
    Get over it because there are 6 million other pairs of pants that will make your butt look insane.
    Typically, women fall into four categories: circle (thick around the waist); triangle (a bigger bottom half); hourglass (curvy but pretty much proportioned); and rectangle (straight up and down).
    The Circle: Choose tops that are baggy around the waist. Try to avoid clothing like high-waisted pants and bell-bottoms. Belts are your worst enemy. Go for tunics and skinny jeans.
    The Triangle (this is Kim’s shape): Don’t go for oversized shirts or sweaters, skinnies and/or silk fabrics. A black pair of wide-leg jeans will slim the thighs and create a long, lean look.
    The Hourglass: Avoid boxy shirts, tunics and oversized shirts. Go for high-waisted jeans. It will draw people’s eye to your skinny midsection! And you can’t go wrong with V-neck tops.
    The Rectangle: You want to buy styles that hug the waistline and flare out at the bottom. Boot-cut jeans/pants are your bestie. A fitted blazer also will slim the waist instantly.
    Just because something looks great on someone else, don’t automatically assume you have-to-have-it-or-you’ll-die-because-it’s-so-so-cute.

    I love purchasing lots of blacks (think skinny jeans, long-sleeved sweaters, oversized tops—all in black). They’re obvious staples and work well with any splash of color.
    Also, altering is like God’s gift to fashion.
    I talk to my seamstress more than I talk to my boyfriend.
    Any great seamstress can fix any outfit. Getting clothes tailored to your body is a game changer.
    If a seamstress isn’t in the budget, just make sure you’re choosing clothing that works well for you.
    Not your friend, not your neighbor, not your favorite celeb—YOU.
    I’d love to wear white pants on the reg, but they aren’t flattering on me. I hate how they make my ass look.
    If you’re on your period and your bloat is seriously out of control, adopt the “homeless chic” look.
    The homeless chic look was created by MK and Ashley Olsen. It’s where you adorn yourself in the baggiest clothes possible but still look cute.
    I like to steal my boyfriend’s clothes when “Aunt Flow” is in town. Normally, she brings along an extra 5 pounds/2 kg, so I plan accordingly. I die over his flannels, collared shirts and vintage tees. I tuck them into my skinny jeans with boots and I’m good to go. Add a long chain and a super-cute hat for extra detail.
    Stealing boys’ sunglasses/hats/watches is always fun, too! I mean, you don’t want to look like a baggy hobo, so keep it sexy. Tucking shirts into jeans and adding a few feminine touches to men’s clothes is hot!
    My boyfriend’s clothes allow me to achieve that effortless, homeless-chic look, while dressing for my menstrual cycle.

FUN TIMES.

    Anyway, my advice for anyone’s wardrobe: Buy staples.
    Some of my favies include:
+ A great pair of fitted jeans
+ Black skinny pants
+ An oversized, sexy cardigan
+ White pumps/heels
+ Black ankle boots
+ A white, short-sleeved tee
+ A draped black skirt (I prefer asymmetrical)
+ A maxi dress (opt for darker colors and make sure the dress is super long)
    Accessory staples:
+ A long, thin, gold necklace
+ Tiny gold or silver stud earrings
+ A few thin rings
+ Big, huge hoops
+ A dainty handpiece
+ A coin purse with a long chain
+ A big, huge, absolutely absurdly large purse (I like white or black)
    After you buy staples, you can plan around them. Some of my favorite stores that are chic and affordable include: Forever 21 (best finds ever; ya just have to search like you’re looking for a needle in a haystack); Charlotte Russe; LuLu*s online, Target (cute little boot selection); Marshalls; Nasty Gal; and vintage stores.
    Find your own style to reflect who you are. Many years ago, I was dressing like Barbie ® on steroids. It just wasn’t me and wasn’t comfortable.

SO MALIBU BARBIE ® HAD TO GO.
