If you are looking for the best clothes for a rectangle body shape then this post may be for you. I honestly wasn’t going to go down this road because I knew that it would take a lot of time and might not be something that I could get together in less than a week.

But I thought I would start with the easiest body shape, the rectangle body type. I say easiest for a couple of reasons. One is that it is my own shape so I have a pretty good idea of how to dress it (with a few mishaps here and there), and secondly, it is not a shape that needs to be balanced out.

If you are wondering what I mean by that, a rectangle is basically straight up and down with minimal curves so the upper and lower portions of your body present an already balanced silhouette.

Since the pandemic, she has been going to bed really, really late. It was like a weird mental shift that I heard a lot of teens went through.

At the rate we are going I feel like I am going to have to keep dipping into my summer wardrobe. Will it be winter before I get to use all of my fall stuff? This weather is crazy.

Watch, now that I said that winter is going to be the coldest on record. It wouldn’t surprise me. I am partial to cold any day of the year, but some of these colds snaps over the last few years have been brutal.

There is a woman that I follow on Instagram that has minimalist style nailed down solid. She is very Moira Rose in only wearing black, whites, greys, and occasionally tans…except I don’t believe Moira ever wore grey and definitely not tan, just an occasional colourful wig.

Today I am sharing some of my scholarly wisdom…and by scholarly wisdom I mean some of the things that I learned in school last week. So we will start with the question of what does dramatic classic means?

If you are new here, I decided that I wanted to go back to school this year to learn how to become a stylist. Last week was my first week, so this week I am incorporating some of the things that I learned.

The focus was determining what our body types and fashion personalities were. Figuring out our own, and how to help people figure out theirs.
