De-emphasize your Bust with Monroe and Main Fit for You Guide

Monroe and Main wants to help Women over 45 (and all our younger friends)  deal with their problem body  areas.  Each week they have chosen two bloggers to showcase styles from their helpful Fit for You Guide, which address their trouble zone.  The four categories of Shape Solutions that you will see from Monroe and Main bloggers during October are:

  • Hide Hips and Add Height
  • Short-Waisted
  • Camoflauge Mid-Section
  • De-emphasize Bust
I have been chosen along with Brianna D. over at Baubles, Accoutrements, and Garb for the “De-emphasize Bust” Style Solution (Shocking I KNOW!)  Let me show you how I chose my Style Solution while using the Monroe and Main Fit for You Guide.
When you go to the Monroe and Main Fit for you Guide
Monroe and Main Fit for YOU guide
You will see a detailed guide on how to take your measurements.  From there, click the Second tab at the top labeled “Shape Solutions”.
Monroe and Main Fit for YOU guide
On the Shape Solution Page you choose the Shape Solution that fits your issues.  That will take you to a page which shows outfits for working with your shape and make it as lovely as you feel! I chose “De-emphasize your bust” (Duh!)
Monroe and Main Fit for YOU guide
Once I was on the Looks and Tips to De-emphasize Bust, I could see styles and solutions that help minimize my bustline and at the bottom I could choose the kind of styles that Monroe and Main suggests that would work for my Body Type!  Wahoo…That was fun!  Here’s how I  styled the two looks I choose.

still Blonde after all these YEARS The Chief Blonde Remarks:  Both of these Looks were fantastic.  Don’t you think?  I couldn’t believe how all the clothes fit me to a “T”!  I always have so much trouble with my “Rack” and trying to fit the “Bottom” and the “Top”!  So fun to be able to zip up zippers and button up buttons and have the clothes not gap or stretch!  I adored the suggestions provided to me by Monroe and Main’s  Fit for You Guide.  I was surprised that they even included sale clothing in their suggestions so I could maximize my dollar!  The clothes were of lovely quality.  I feel Monroe and Main really lives up to their tagline which is “Fashion Fit for You”.

    I think the Rhianon dress would be great for the holiday because of the frilly cuffs

    I’m always looking for cute workout wear, and sometimes I have to choose quality over style. Not here! I think the French Terry Hoodie by Baby Phat would be a super cute way to keep warm before and after a workout!

    I’m a “hide hips and add height” girl, and I went to the site to see what ideas they gave me for my fit, and I think the Maxi Sweater Dress would be a good choice. The all one color and long lines would make me look taller, and I can easily accessorize that dress with a scarf, jacket, or statement necklace to help draw the eye up. It’s always nice to have more tricks in the bag for when something unexpected comes up and I need to look my absolute best!

    I love the way you styled the pieces you got, and love the colors on you! I also like that the style tips weren’t matronly or boring. You were able to really stay true to your style while upping your comfort factor, which is a HUGE win!

    I need that sequin dress & I need it bad!

    Shelley, thank you for highlighting that those of us that are ‘chesty’ don’t always want to flaunt it!

    I think its a toss up between the little black maxi and the simply sensational sheath!

    great giveaway, and you look great in your outfit!
