Casual and chic

Leggings or trousers were my staple revenge clothing. I grasped these two garments as my shield over the years from accepting, embracing, loving my curves, and boy, I wore them a lot.

By now, I hope you are aware of the Z shopping steps. If not, it is okay. You are in the right place. These steps mentioned below are simple techniques I develop over the years to facilitate my shopping experience to ensure a comfortable and budget-friendly outfit.

Z SHOPPING STEPS.

 1 – Be confident with your body type (My case, tall and thick). Know your size and measurements in dress, pants, jacket, blazer, coat, bodysuit, shoes, undergarments, etc.

 2- Make a list of 3 to 5 favorite stores or brands retail or online. (I recommend a store that caters to all the pieces mentioned above.

 3- Decide on your outfit. Do you want to wear a dress or two pieces, a jumpsuit, etc?

 4- Determine1 to 3 shades (color block, pattern, or prints). 

 5 – have a mini-Fashion board on your phone or tablet with the desired outfit inspiration.

My favorite brands for leggings and trousers are Zara, ASOS, Topshop, Bershka, Mango. Leggings and trousers are always in style and trendy, perfect fit on every body type, a massive variety of colors, textures, and prints to choose from.

Z TIPS

 Choose a statement necklace to add to your trouser +bodysuit+ blazer combo; it will add more sophistication to the finished look.

Blazers elevate the look instantly. One of my favorite clothes is many uses: from work, date, reunion, brunch with friends, you name it. Famous brands are H&M, Zara, INC, ASOS.
