How to Stretch Your Wardrobe!

At Whimsy we LOVE to show you ways on how
to stretch your wardrobe. What do we mean by that?
We mean how can you use the same item in different ways.

You can use the same item in more than one way and 
save money by being able to "stretch" that item into 
multiple uses! 

This week we'd like to show you how to use layers,
whether to change a dress from day to night,
or if you buy an item that perhaps doesn't have sleeves
and you prefer them, you can layer over
one of our many basics. 



Need a dress for a special night out?
Want to take it from day to night? We added a
light colored denim jacket and took this adorable
sheath dress quickly from day to night. 


Our basics are made for layering!
They are light-weight and extremely comfortable.
The tops of our "Clay" brand basics are cropped
to take away any excess fabric. 



We love Maxi's! Whether you want to wear it sleeveless
or have sleeves, it looks beautiful. Use one of the "Clay"
thin crop tops as desired. 



Shown here are some of our white basics. 
The use of leggings is extremely handy and pretty!
We have crop length leggings in now just in time 
for Summer. TONS of colors available! 

Check out how many!

Here are the colors we have in Spaghetti Strap Tank Tops:

Ribbed Tanks:

Leggings:

Short Length Leggings:

Long Sleeve Shirts:

Short Bandos:

How to Dress for Full Figures

At Whimsy we love to have clothing types
available for all types of figures.

Today we are going to show you how to dress for
a full-figure/Hourglass. This is one of the most 
common types of body types and can be very beautiful and womanly. 

There are several things to do to bring out your best assets
and others to do to hide those things we all want to not 
get overly noticed. 


1. Using one color or one print will allow the eye to see 
the body lengthened instead of breaking up what you see at the waist.
 This dress also works because it is cinched at the waist. This accentuates the Hourglass' best feature, a
thinner waistline. 


2. This light weight breezy top is amazing
on a fuller figure. The sash at the waist again
is important. Accentuating the waistline is always
a great idea. The jeggings allow the legs to be 
shown off! And look how long they can make your legs look
without adding any extra bulky fabric...
Wonderful.

3. This flowing dress hugs in all the right places,
and forgives in all the right places as well. Adding
a denim jacket or cardigan is a chic touch and also 
helps hide any flaws in the arms. 


4. If you are on the shorter more petite side
this A-Line dress is a perfect fit. You get the length while 
not having it be overbearing. Again, the cinched waist
helps show off your beautiful Hourglass shape.


5. And finally we have the "Little Black Dress"
We all need one! Not matter what our figure type.
And the Hourglass/Full-Figure is not an exception.
With this dress being fitted at the top and waist and
going out into an A-line balance you out. Add a 
beautiful necklace and you have a fantastic
outfit for a night on the town.

Take a Dress from Day to Night

At Whimsy we love to take an item and use it in several ways.
Not only does it save money it's fun to take an article of clothing
 from day to night so easily!

With Mother's day fast approaching the focus today is on taking
a dress from casual to fancy by simply changing accessories, 
 or adding a jacket. 

Whimsy's beautiful (and incredibly flattering) red dress...
It also comes in black.

Simply add some bling with jewelry, and you have a fabulous look 
for a night on the town with the same red dress!
 
This new pale pink jersey knit dress is not only comfortable (can't wrinkle!) it's another perfect item to take from Day to Night...

By using a daintier belt and crystal necklace you have a beautiful evening look...



We love this simple black dress. It's truly flattering on everyone!
For the day look we added our new colorful denim jacket and turquoise belt...





To take this fabulous black dress to night, think simplicity.. We added our inexpensive golden necklace and bracelets and let 
the dress speak for itself...For those wanting more coverage,
we have several beautiful layering pieces for you to choose from that will pair beautifully with any of our dresses...
