Raccoon eyes don't even look all that hot on models - it just makes you look like you have crappy mascara that bled all over your face.

Inspiration Set: Korra (for the Pear Shape)


This one is actually for my friend Caelin, who I really wish would become an evil genius and take over the world so that I she can gift me various cabana boys and I can live on a beach forever and always. Sadly I then start worrying about whether or not she'll then go on to create Skynet or something and who want's a robot disguised as AHnald to try and destroy the world? Not cool man, not cool. So I guess I'll just keep asking her to make me mechanical butterflies and teasing her for having the hips I wish I had.

Moving on! Boot cut trousers should be a pear shaped woman's best friend. They are a classic cut, fit straight through hip and thigh and have just that tiny bit of flare to keep your legs looking long and slim. Every woman should own a pair of nude pumps, they go with almost anything, and in this case they give another nod to Korra who sticks to blues and tans like all good Water Benders.

For summer pair it with a fitted, sleeveless, structured blouse and stick with nude/tan accessories. A pair of simple silver cuffs can keep you looking trendy and fun. I suggest minimal makeup to finish off your fresh, fun look.

Korra for the Y shape


I love cropped pants for the summer work day. They show off cute shoes, they look flattering for most people (sometimes they make cankles look wider...) and you can dress them up or down quite easily. All in all, I vote them adorable.

For Korra we like to go with shades of blue and some tan accents for fun. I went with a stretch belt (to go over the shirt and cinch it in to show off your shape ladies) and some fun bangles since it's a sleeveless top. Keds are easy to run around in and look cute so long as they are kept clean. Pairing that with a navy pant (which keeps you cool, helps you look slim, and should have a high enough waist it doesn't fall off your hips) completes the clothing portion. Since they shirts front zipper will likely detract from a necklace I voted on simple earrings.

Like Korra I like to keep it simple when I can. Eyeliner, nude lipstick, and toss your hair in a ponytail. Nothing easier than that for a summer day at the office that can easily segue to a Geeks Who Drink trivia night!
