Candy Store Collective Review
Ever run across a website you can’t believe you never knew existed before? Well, that’s how I felt when a friend directed me here: http://www.candystorecollective.com/store/pc/viewContent.asp?idpage=2
It’s the perfect marriage of versatile, unique, and body-type challenged friendly! They carry some of the coolest off-the-beaten path designers I know of, so check out these picks from The Candy Store Collective:
This summery dress is the very definition of easy, versatile and unique! The styling is made to disguise just about every common figure flaw – flutter sleeve will not squeeze or emphasize heavier arms, empire waist highlights your narrowest part, and aline seaming and drape covers a heavier butt. Not to mention the awesome color! Shown here on a very tall gal, this dress will hit the average heighted just above the knee for a less tunicy effect:
The ‘Fiji dress’ in this great tangerine color is very flexibly figure flattering as well – the elasticized mid section has the effect of proportioning the rest of your torso as it contours the middle, while the more generous bubble cut of the skirt will fit most bums– oh, and there are pockets – you could practically wear this every day of summer:
Adorable simplicity is what this dress is all about: empire, aline, cowl neck, awesome color, great length – own it:
For the smaller chested among you (read: bras will be difficult), check out this adorably styled tank top – this is the kind of summer tank that does all the style work you need for an outfit – pair it with an old standard for an instant style upgrade, in beautiful dark teal:
Is this not the coolest looking top you have seen in ages? It’s like a flowy blouse, angel-wings-built-in-bolero, sheer sexiness, midriff masking festival for your torso! I picture wearing it out to dinner with an hour glass skirt and platform sandals for a forties look, or with jeans (NOT skinny) and Dr. Scholls for an upgraded casual look:
I own this next piece from Prairie Underground, a fabulous company if I do say so myself, and it is indeed everything this website claims it to be – the perfect mix of industrial tough and Edwardian Luxury – it is far more versatile than you may think, and SO comfy – a total outfit upgrader where ever you go and whatever you are wearing. It’s thick enough cotton and well-enough structured that it does A LOT of figure smoothing, trust me on this one:
For a very versatile pencil skirt, check out this khaki version by Cheap Monday. A pencil skirt emphasizes curves, so it’s actually good for the hips, but doesn’t work so well if you’ve got thicker thighs or a lot in the trunk. With the thicker banded top and just a bit of elasten, this will do well to mask some tummy as it sculpts you into an hour glass. Wear it to work with a fitted jacket, or pair it with a tank and flipflops!
The accessories on this site, though certainly pricey, are for sure the cream of the crop…check ‘em out and weep, and remember to check here when you are ready to indulge..:
And the sale section, well worth perusing:
