Hey BB Babes!

Can you believe how fast this year is going by? In only 4 weeks it's going to be Easter!! That doesn't give you very much time to find the perfect Easter dress. For this weeks blog I thought it would be kind of fun to do a timeline of what women used to wear for Easter Sunday, plus this week on BBStyled we are doing a #freebie where you can get a free dress so it kind of works out perfectly! Alright lets take a look back in time and see what it was like then compared to now.

1960's

Women used to dress up in tailored skirts with matching blazers, floral hats or big hair if they chose not to wear one. Everyone would dress up in their "Easter Best" and go to church. Many women would also wear a boutonnière. I remove when I was little my mom and aunts would always get my grandma one to wear for easter. Gloves were also very popular during this era.

1970's

In the 70's the clothes started to get funkier. Women would wear dresses that did not have sleeves, Or had puffy sleeves, embellished at the waist and to the knee. Colors became for vibrant instead of pastel as well.

1980's

It was all about the patterns an shoulder pads! Houndstooth, floral, checkered, and so many more were the post popular on dresses for women.

1990's

In the 90's it was all about lace, and some sort of 3D flower sticking out of you waist. When I was a little girl my mom used to dress me and my sister in dresses like this!

It's amazing to go back and see how things have change but also have come back in different ways. I think people don't take getting dressed up for Easter as seriously as they did back then, which is kind of sad to me. I personally love having an excuse to get dressed upper buy a new dress. Easter is like the welcoming party for Spring and all the new things like dresses so I think thats how Easter Dresses became such a popular thing! If you are looking for a good easter dress or just want one since spring is right around the corner definitely look at our website! We have a ton of new arrivals that are perfect! Like our

So give yourself a reason to buy a new dress and look super cute for this upcoming season! Until next week!

Have you ever found yourself annoyed at the fact that you have all these sweaters, cardigans, cute jackets, etc.  but you can only wear them four months out of the year. I mean we pay good money for these things and we should be able to wear them more often.  So the question here is how do we get the best wear out of what we buy, and how do we style it in the awkward in between season, where one day its 60 degrees and the next its a freaking blizzard outside *cough, cough Utah. 

1. Cardigans: basically should be your BFF

So cardigans are something you can wear all seasons. In the winter you can layer them with a tight turtleneck, but in the spring you can wear them with a tank and some distressed denim and in the summer pair it with a tank top or crop and a pair of shorts. This is great to go out for a casual night and comes in handy if it's a little breezy at night.

2. Bomber Jackets: classic and stylish

When it comes to Bombes there are so many different styles and types. Some are made with a thick fabric made to keep you warm, and some are thin and mostly just meant to be stylish. The thinner ones are really the ones you should buy in my opinion. I am always cold no matter what time of the year it is. I like to buy the thinner ones because you can layer them even under coats to show different texture and add depth to your outfit. Bomber Jackets are especially great for transitioning into different seasons. A few different ways you can wear them are with some of your favorite denim and a tee shirt, or for the hotter times of the year you can stick a tank under and wear them with a pair of denim shorts and some high top converse.

3. Scarves: its all about the fabric

One type of scarf coming back into style is the short silk scarf. In the 60's women would tie silk scarves over their heads to keep their hair in place while they were driving. Now in 2018 the trend it to tie it around your hair making it into a ponytail or folding it up and tying a little knot at the top of your hair. Even tying the scarf around your neck is a popular thing to do. How do we use the winter scarves to transition? Well one way is wearing them as an accessory over a light jacket. Just leave the scarf open and drape it over the jacket adding a little more color and a pop to your outfit. 

4. Sweaters: in the summer though? 

Yes sweaters in the summer. Whether you go swimming at night, are having a fire with friends, or even just hanging out with your guy a sweater is always a great option. Usually the temperature cools down a lot in the evening, so having a sweater is great. If you plan on being gone all day you can style it by tying it around your waist and then putting it on when it starts to cool off.

It's pleasure as always BB Babes! Until next week

Hey BB's, 

Have you ever seen someone wearing a pair of pants that you loved, so you track down what store they came from and go try them on. You look in the mirror disappointed because you now HATE that pair of pants you were absolutely in love with, because they make it look like you have the butt of a 12 year old boy. Yeah me too girl... I think all of us have had one of those moments to be honest! Pants are #1 the hardest thing to shop for if you're a girl. Every brand sizes run differently, and the cuts/where the waist lies is never the same either. I remember when I was going through puberty I hated going shopping with my friends because I had bigger thighs and my body had not grown into them yet. I would watch them try on these adorable skinny jeans and I would not because *cue Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants, Carmen "You think a pair of pants that fits all three of you is going to fit.... (slaps hips) all this...!!!" I talked to my mom about my insecurities and she let me in on a few secrets about pants that I am going to share with you.

POCKETS

 First the shape of your back pocket can be a game changer to how it makes your butt look. Typically the bigger the pocket the flatter and smaller your but is going to look, but if the two pockets are too close to the middle seam line and small it will make you look like you have a mile wide behind. Try to find a pair of pants that are proportional to your backside, taking about 1/4-1/2 the space size per side of your pants. If the pants you like don't have any pockets, when you look in the mirror make sure they lay flat and don't bunch or crease under the curve of your backside. 

FRONT ZIPPER

Not too long ago I saw a pair of the cutest jeans with hearts sewn all over the front on instagram. I went to the boutique that carried them and tried them on. The front zipper was so long it hung a good 2 inches away from where your pants are supposed to stop. It created an elongated baggy look in an area that I did not want that to happen in. Serious disappointment. Believe it or not this area fitting the right way affects the way your pants look in the front and in the back. If the zipper is too long like on the pair I tried on it makes a creased baggy look from the center all the way out to the thighs and from the front through the middle to the back. Make sure to take a full 360 look in the mirror so you can see all the details.

FINDING A GOOD BRAND

If you find a brand of jeans that fits you and look good, that means that no matter the style of jean they sell the fit should be the same. The only time sizing in brands is different in the waist is if they are high waisted or not. I personally like high waisted jeans because I have longer legs and a short torso. I look for high waisted jeans that stop right below my belly button and don't go over it. If your pants cover over your hip bones and above your belly button it can make you look wider instead of smaller.

Hopefully some of these tips will come in handy the next time you go shopping.  If you order jean's or any pants online just remember you can always return them if they don't fit.

Happy February! With it being the beginning of the year and still cold it can be hard to find something to wear that's still stylish and comfortable.  I have one word for you ~JOGGERS!

So treat yo' self for making it through the day and get yourself some cute joggers. Here are 4 other ways to make it look like you dressed up when really you're just comfy. 

#1 Cardi's

Cardigans are the perfect way to make an outfit without dressing to the nines. Like our Oversized Boyfriend Cardigan, just pair it with a comfy tank, tee, or if you're feeling a little wild a turtleneck top; some high wasted jeans or your favorite pair of leggings and you've got yourself a casual, stylish #ootd!

#2 Oversized Sweater

One of my favorite things in the world is a comfy soft sweater, and lucky for you we have just the one for you. Here we have two options, our Oversized Chunky Knit Sweater or our Oversized Knit Sweater that is so cute, and trust me, so comfy too. You could wear either of these with a pair of jeans and some cute flats or your fav pair of Nikes. If you want to make it a little dressier throw on a pair of sleek booties, leggings, or your ripped jeans of choice and watch all the girls be jealous of how fly you look babe. Yes you will be turning heads because you look that good.

#3 Tees and Jogger combo

If you're going out and about and need something fast and cute, try a pair of our Tie Waist Joggers  and an adorable graphic tee. Joggers are so easy to style honestly. You could do a cute jean jacket and a graphic tee paired with joggers for a classic but slightly edgy look. Throw you hair back in a topknot or a sleeked pony tail with your favorite sunnies and you'll be golden girl.
