Pretty Obsessed

Wearing a cute dress and being warm are two of my favorite things. And that is precisely why I love wearing sweater dresses when fall rolls around. A sweater dress can be dressy or casual, you just have to accessorize accordingly. A sweater dress can look sexy on every body type… if you happen to be very petite then simply cinch your waist with a belt to give definition. And if your body is a bit more on the curvy side then try wearing some shapewear underneath the dress.

Depending on how warm it is out, you can try wearing leggings with a basic pair of flat boots or high-heeled pumps…too warm? Skip the leggings; personally I think the leggings bring the look together.

And remember, if you’re going to wear a belt with your sweater dress, make sure it sits high up on the waist, low slung belts can make the outfit look sloppy!

I guess you can say I’m one of the lucky ones. I have long, thick, healthy straight hair…and as you can see I am very humble about this fact. You won’t see me bragging about how amazing my hair is, that is not my personality.

Because I am blessed with great hair (like I said I’m very modest), I tend to spend very little time styling it. What I like to do after I have washed my hair is to towel dry it then let it air dry. Before it dries completely though, I French braid my hair and let it stay this way overnight. The next day I let out the braid and finger comb my hair.

It is THE easiest way to get a sexy, sultry, beach-hair look.

If your hair is curly I am jealous of you. I for one can never get my hair to have that bouncy, curly hair look. The trick for you privileged haired gals to achieve the tousled hair look is to loosen it up and recreate the shape of your hair. After you have towel dried your hair, divide and braid four sections of your hair and secure the ends with an elastic band. Once your hair is almost dry unwind the braid and use your fingers to distribute a styling product (Pantene Pro-V Texture Foam Wax ~ $6.50) from roots to tips, and blow-dry using a diffuser while scrunching to create texture and volume. To create a more controlled look, use a two-inch curling iron vertically, and let the curls drop. And just like the straight haired gals, use your fingers to comb and loosen the look.

If you have wavy hair then you practically walk around with this sexy look all the time already. To perfect this look, follow the directions for straight hair BUT instead of washing your hair, simply mist your hair a little and then follow braiding and styling directions.
