Apples....And Oranges?

     Okay, so I couldn't think of a better title for this. Anyway, moving on...
     Today we are taking care of tops that will flatter an apple-shaped girl. As I said in the last post, empire waists will look wonderful on you. Longer shirts (tunic-length) will also be good choices for you. Since you want to draw attention away from your middle, neckline and sleeve accents will compliment you wonderfully.
     Be careful about the texture of the top, as well. You don't want to wear anything that is noticeably thick and large (unless, of course, the alternative is freezing to death; style isn't that important :-) ).
     Wearing a shirt or jacket unbuttoned part of way down your torso is a bad idea. This will bring attention to your middle. You should also beware of crewneck shirts. These will not flatter you at all, I'm afraid.
     While tops with horizontal stripes and ruffles will not look amazing on you, you may want to try those with vertical stripes, and maybe even a vertical ruffle. These will make you look longer, rather than wider.
     Here are some examples of tops for you to investigate.


     Above and second-to-left is a sort of a "waterfall" cardigan. Not only will these flatter you, but they happen to be in style now. Go for it!




     The cranberry/raspberry top on the left is an example of a great pick for you. Classy, pretty... Check back soon for the kinds of pants that will best suit you!
