The Best Clothing Styles for Your Body Type

Saturday, November 3rd, 2007

The majority of women do not have the model body type that allows designer clothing to drape over us effortlessly, but we can come pretty close if we make the right choices. This begins by understanding your body type and letting go of those inner demons telling you to be thinner so you\’ll look better in clothing. How many times have you or a friend said “I refuse to buy any new clothes until I lose ten pounds”, or my favorite, “I\’ll by this smaller size and it will give me incentive to lose weight”. Ladies, please stop!

Train your eye to choose clothing that flatters your individual shape, not an idealized form. Get to know your body and its unique measurements. When you learn to balance your proportions and accentuate your assets, you will achieve effortless style and will have the ability to look as good as any fashion magazine model.

BODY TYPE 1: Triangle
Often referred to as the “pear”, you have narrow and sloped shoulders, and larger hips. Most have a slim torso and rib cage and your waist may be smaller in proportion to your hips. You also have a fuller bottom and legs. This is the most common figure type.

FIT SOLUTIONS
The key is to draw the eye away from your widest hip area. Your best styles will accentuate your neck and slim upper body and minimize your lower half.

Tops: Avoid a short boxy line on top. Your best tops will focus on widening your shoulders. Choose ballet and boat necks, puff sleeves, dolman and batwing sleeves. V-necks and blouses with princess seams that accentuate your waist. Stay away from crop tops and anything that stops at your navel or above - it will cut you in half thus accentuating your lower half!

Dresses: Empire waisted and babydoll styles as well as kimono, dolman and flutter sleeved. Wrap dresses that accentuate your waist and draw attention to your neck and shoulders with a v-neck style.

Skirts: Choose a circle or a-line skirt with a lower waist and minimal waistband. Straight skirts work well worn just above the knee in a fabric that drapes well.

Pants: A straight cut with a bootleg or slight flare is your best bet. Choose a lower waist pant that has a flat front - no pleats or pockets placed across your widest part! High waist pants that are at or above your navel can mold around your hips and butt and give the appearance of bulk. Capris should also have a slight flare at the bottom.

Fabric and Color: Darker colors will recede and make you look smaller, so generally darker bottoms and lighter tops work nicely. Bold, large prints can work well for taller Type 1 women, but stick with smaller prints if you are average to petite.

BODY TYPE 2: Hourglass

You have well proportioned shoulders that are in line with your hips and a waist approximately 10″ smaller. Curvy describes you the best and you have a small to average, defined waistline and an average to full bottom and many have of you have great legs.

FIT SOLUTIONS
You can wear any type of clothing that stays in proportion to your height and weight. Find clothing with shape and soft, fluid fabrics to highlight your curves.

Tops: Almost anything goes. Best bets are fitted blouses, halters, wrap tops, and blouson. If you have a fuller bust, avoid breast pockets, pleating or ruffles in that area.

Dresses: Tank and sheath dresses, nipped-waist and bias, wrap, strapless and anything that highlights your curves.

Skirts: Pencil and bias cut skirts look great on your body-type. If you are fuller in the stomach and hips, avoid excess material or horizontal pockets in this area.

Pants: A straight cut with a bootleg or slight flare is your best bet, but you can opt for slimmer styles if your hips and thighs are average to small. Choose a lower waist pant that has a flat front.

Fabric and Color: Experiment with color, prints and texture to see what fits your personality and stature. Choose fabrics that drape well and are not stiff. You want to highlight your curves, not hide them or create a boxy midsection.

BODY TYPE 3: V-Shape

You may describe your figure as boyish or athletic, but you are lucky to have the model type body that looks great in almost every style. Your shoulders are broader than your hips. Your waist is average and less defined and you have narrow hips, a smaller and sometimes flat bottom with slimmer legs.

FIT SOLUTIONS
Your narrow hips give you choice and versatility. If your shoulders are very broad, you will want to add volume to your hips for balance and stay away from styles that exaggerate the shoulder area.

Tops: V-necks, U-necks, sleeveless and tanks with wider straps. Avoid tops with a horizontal line or widening effect near the top such as puff sleeves, boat necks, epaulettes, or fussy details.

Dresses: Avoid high waistlines and empire seams or ruffles near the top. Look for details like bold prints, pockets and pleats on the lower half to add fullness and keep it simple on top.

Skirts: Torso skirts with soft pleating, tiers and gathering are your first choice because they add volume and balance your figure. Stay away from any style that gathers at the natural waist or appears to cut you in half, thus exaggerating the upper body.

Pants: Your choice - with narrow hips you can wear them all.

Fabric and Color: Experiment with color, prints and texture to see what fits your personality and stature. Create interest on the bottom half with prints and color and keep the top simple to downplay the shoulder area.

Montgomery County - Pennsylvania Injury Attorney On Montgomery County - PA Personal Injury Liability

Monday, October 8th, 2007

Products liability law involves injuries resulting from defective products. These are often among the most serious injuries. Products liability cases arise when injuries occur because of a defectively designed, manufactured, repaired, or maintained product. For example, if a company designs automobile airbags which don’t inflate properly upon impact, the laws of products liability apply to the injury lawsuits that are filed.

The products liability law in your state may have the concept of strict liability. Strict liability involves the assessment of liability on the basis of the defect itself. The law permits liability to be assessed against the defendant on proof that the product was defective.

If you are injured by a defective product, hold on to the product for dear life. You must have access to the product to have the best chance for success in the lawsuit. If you do not have access to the product, contact a lawyer immediately. Your lawyer can assure that the product is not destroyed. If the product is lost or destroyed, neither your experts nor the company’s experts are able to examine the product for defects. It is your burden to prove that the product was defective. So if the product cannot be examined, you may not be able to prove your case. Products liability cases are very expensive to pursue. Expert engineers must testify concerning the defect in the product. The big corporations involved with the design, manufacture, etc., of the product have cadres of lawyers and big budgets. They hope to “paper to death” the opposition with legal motions, petitions, etc. Your attorney must have the know-how and resources to do battle with the big boys. Many P.I. attorneys refer out the products cases that come to them if products liability is not their specialty. Others take every case that walks in the door, intending to learn each new field as it come up.

Because of the expense and time involved in the products liability war, the injuries must be serious for the case to be viable. As with medical malpractice cases, unless the case is worth $75,000 or more it will be hard to find a reputable attorney who will take it.

Delaware County Personal Injury Attorney On Delaware County, PA Personal Injury Slip and Falls

Monday, October 8th, 2007

Automobile accidents and fall down cases are the most common types of lawsuit for personal injuries. The legal principles involved with these two types of cases differ greatly. I examine here the hurdles that must be overcome in order to receive fair compensation for injuries suffered as the result of a fall.

Generally, the most difficult problem involves the question of notice. The injured victim must prove that the defendant either created the hazard which caused the injury, or that the defendant knew or should have known of the hazard long enough before the accident to have removed or repaired it.

For example, when a pedestrian trips on a crack in a sidewalk, the P. I. attorney hopes to find someone who lives in the area of the accident who knows that the crack existed for a long time. Or photos may show that the crack was not of recent origin. It is then easy to show that the property owner should have known of it and should have had the crack repaired. The city where the accident happened may also have liability in sidewalk cases for failure to enforce the municipal requirements that sidewalks be kept in good repair. This is particularly important when the property owner carries no insurance on the property. In this situation, the government may be the only defendant against whom a money judgment can be collected. The city becomes the “deep pocket” or “target” defendant.

The next issue that almost always comes up in these cases is the victim’s own failure to be careful. This is called “comparative negligence.” (See Chapter 9 of the complete book for a discussion of comparative negligence.) Defendants argue that the claimant should have seen the hazard and avoided it. While this argument often reduces the total amount of compensation received, it usually does not defeat the claim outright. There may be valid reasons why the hazard was not seen. For example, when a customer in a grocery store slips on grapes, the customer’s attention may have been drawn by a catchy advertisement or display put up by the store. This is a reasonable explanation which, if believed, should enable you to receive full compensation.

A thorough and prompt investigation can make all the difference in the outcome of fall down cases. Witness statements must be obtained and photographs of the hazard must be taken. Even short delays can hurt the case since memories fade rapidly and hazards get repaired quickly when injuries occur.

A Philadelphia Personal Injury Lawyer and Philadelphia Personal Injury Depositions

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

It is vital that you completely understand each question before attempting to give an answer. It is not possible to give a truthful and accurate answer to a misunderstood question. The defense attorney will repeat or rephrase the question if requested to do so.

It is important to speak loud enough so that all in the deposition room can hear the testimony. You should keep your hands away from your mouth. To some attorneys a hand in front of the mouth implies that you have something to hide. Questions cannot be answered with a nod of the head or an “uh huh” or an “uh uh.” You must say “yes” or “no” so that the stenographer can record the response.

You should not exaggerate your injuries or losses but, you should not hesitate to explain fully all of the injuries and damages caused by the accident. Watch out especially for questions such as, “Did you suffer any other injuries?” A negative answer at the deposition can limit you at the time of trial. You must think long and hard before committing yourself to such an answer. If you cannot think of any other injuries or complaints, it is fair to tell the other attorney, “That’s all I can think of right now.” This keeps your options open in case you’ve simply forgotten about an important part of your claim. It’s easy to forget during the pressure of a deposition, especially if the other attorney is utilizing a combative style in his questioning.

You should not try to memorize the accident, injuries, and treatment. Justice requires only that you tell your story to the best of your ability. A memorized recitation of the events appears contrived and manufactured. Some degree of spontaneity adds settlement value to the case.

Since you are trying to make a favorable impression upon the defense attorney, it is important to dress neatly and to treat all persons in the deposition room with courtesy and respect. There is nothing to gain by arguing with or insulting the defense attorney. After the deposition this attorney will report his or her impressions of you to the insurance company. If this attorney thinks that your attitude will rub the jurors the wrong way, the insurance company will be inclined to make a relatively low settlement offer.

The most import aspect of the discovery deposition is you and the appearance you make. If you give the appearance of fairness, honesty, and earnestness, and if you keep in mind these suggestions, you will have taken a great stride toward the successful settlement of the litigation.

A Philadelphia Personal Injury Attorney Speaks About Depositions and Philadelphia Personal Injury

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

It is also vital not to guess during a deposition. Frequently the other lawyer asks questions to which the witness simply does not have the answer. It is important to remember that a deposition is not a multiple choice test. You do not score points by occasionally guessing correctly. Stick to the facts and testify only to that which you personally know.

Every trial lawyer has seen his or her client’s case reduced in value by an incorrect guess. “I don’t know” is a fair answer if it is true. The time spent preparing for the depositions will ensure that the witness does not have to rely on this answer too often. “I don’t remember” is also fair if you truly don’t remember. Sometimes depositions are taken years after the accident. It can be nearly impossible to recall the minute details attorneys routinely seek during a deposition. Again, preparation will minimize the need to rely on this answer. It’s far better to admit that you don’t know the answer to a question, or that you don’t recall the answer, than to venture a guess.

Another key to a successful deposition is to know when to stop answering. Often the defense lawyer uses the deposition as a “fishing expedition” in which he hopes to hook absolutely anything of use to the defense case. That is why many questions that seem completely irrelevant to the accident are asked. Believe it or not, this is generally permitted by the courts.

Since the other lawyer is attempting to pick your mind, you must not make his or her job easier by responding to each question with a long, drawn out answer. If a question can fairly be answered with a “yes” or a “no,” by all means do that and say no more until the next question is asked. Your lawyer may even tap you on the shoulder or use a prearranged signal if your answers are getting too detailed. This signal lets you know to keep your answers brief. If you give the other lawyer enough ammunition, you increase the likelihood that eventually he will find something to use against you. That is why brief answers are usually best.

A Philadelphia Personal Injury Attorney Talks About Depositions and Philadelphia Personal Injury

Sunday, October 7th, 2007

The discovery deposition is one of the most important stages in the litigation of a personal injury lawsuit. It is during the discovery deposition that the insurance company’s lawyer gets the opportunity to question the accident victim in person about the accident and the injuries suffered. Similarly, at the defendant’s deposition, your lawyer is able to discover much about the insurance company’s version of the accident. See Form 11 of Winning Your Personal Injury Claim for a sample list of deposition questions. Success on deposition day vastly improves the chance of a prompt and fair settlement.

Discovery depositions give the attorneys the chance to pick the mind of the individual that is being deposed. Depositions are usually held in the office of one of the lawyers. The testimony is taken under oath and is recorded by a stenographer. Thus, extreme care must be taken to accurately describe the accident and resulting injuries. By confronting an individual at trial with clearly erroneous deposition testimony, an attorney can devastate that individual’s credibility in the eyes of the judge, jury or arbitration panel. That is why thorough preparation prior to deposition day is a necessity.

Perhaps the most important advice your lawyer can give you during preparation for the deposition is to tell the truth. Even the craftiest lawyer has trouble tripping up an individual who speaks the truth and sticks to it. Clients sometimes think they can outsmart the other lawyer by bending the truth in their favor. More often than not, the other lawyer can figure out when this is happening and can expose the lie. An otherwise meritorious case can be lost by a small lie. Juries, judges, and arbitration panels have no sympathy for liars, even injured ones.

Bellevue DUI Lawyer

Friday, October 5th, 2007

Working with a Bellevue DUI Lawyer

Working with a Bellevue DUI lawyer shouldn’t even be a question if you’ve been arrested for driving under the influence. If you’ve been charged with DUI, you should definitely take your case to a Bellevue DUI lawyer for review before it’s too late. Working with attorneys who haven’t dedicated themselves to focusing on DUI law means you’ll be working with legal professionals who may not know the latest developments in the field. If they’re working on other kinds of cases, they’ll need to spend time reading and learning about other areas of law. While this doesn’t make them any less competent as legal professionals, it does mean there’s a chance your case won’t get the attention it deserves. Working with a Bellevue DUI lawyer means you’ll be working with someone who has both the skills and experience to handle your DUI defense successfully. If you want the best chance of winning your DUI case, speak with a Bellevue DUI lawyer immediately after your arrest.

If you wait too long, information and details tend to fade and you may not be as helpful in providing information to your lawyer. Once you’ve talked to your attorney about what you remember, he or she may ask additional questions to clarify points you have made or gather additional information. During the preparation phase of the process, your lawyer may contact experts to testify in your case or to review elements of your case. He or she may use legal journals or other materials to help support your defense. If special circumstances exist, your Bellevue DUI lawyer will also conduct research to see how those circumstances will fit into your overall case. Being honest with your attorney is the best policy. He or she cannot represent you well if they do not know all of the facts.

Working with a Bellevue DUI Lawyer to Minimize Criminal Penalties

Your lawyer can let the judge doing the sentencing know about any special circumstances involved in your case. The judge may choose to sentence you to probation or house arrest instead of jail time if your incarceration would be a hardship on your family. This also depends on your record. If it’s your first offense, you’re far more likely to get leniency than if you have two prior convictions and this is your third offense.

Working with a Bellevue DUI Lawyer to Save Your Driver’s License

You can also work with your Bellevue DUI lawyer to save your driver’s license. Even before your criminal trial takes place, your license will be suspended. Because not being able to drive is such a hardship for many people, you may be able to work with your Bellevue DUI lawyer to get a restricted license that allows you to drive to work and other necessary appointments. While it’s not the same as being able to drive wherever you want, it does help you carry on with most of your normal activities.

San Diego DWI Attorney

San Diego DWI Attorney Helps Defend DUI Cases

Working with a San Diego DWI attorney is important because working with a qualified attorney can make a big difference in how well your case goes from beginning to end. Working with a public defender or other attorney who does not specialize in DWI means you’ll be working with someone who doesn’t spend time keeping up to date on all the developments in the field. This means your lawyer may not know important information and developments that can make all the difference in whether or not you win your case. If you really want to have a chance of winning, you should hire a San Diego DWI attorney who specializes in this type of law. These specialists keep up to date on all of the developments in the field and watch for landmark cases that could change the course of a case or change how they would handle the case. Working with a San Diego DWI attorney is your best chance of finding a way to win your case and get back to your life.

Preparing Your Case with a San Diego DWI Attorney

Your San Diego DWI attorney is one of the people who will be of the most help to you as your trial approaches. Your family and friends may support you, but your attorney will be doing all the legwork necessary to help you defend yourself against DWI charges. If there is a new development in the field or new information that can be relevant to your case, your attorney will be looking for it. If an expert witness can help to refute the testimony of other witnesses or introduce a new theory that could cast doubt on the prosecutor’s case, then your San Diego DWI attorney will be working to find that expert witness.

Administrative Proceedings and Your San Diego DUI Attorney

When you’re arrested for driving under the influence, you will receive a pink slip from the arresting officer. According to the rules, you have ten calendar days from receiving the pink slip to call the DMV and ask for a hearing. Your San Diego DWI attorney can also contact the DMV and make arrangements for a hearing. The time period for requesting a hearing is very strict. If you do not call within ten calendar days, you will be denied a hearing and your suspension will kick in once your 30-day temporary license has expired. Your San Diego DWI attorney can also request that the DMV grant you a stay since your hearing may not come up before the 30-day period ends. A stay means that they will extend the validity of your temporary license beyond the original 30-day period.

Criminal Penalties and Your San Diego DWI Attorney

The penalties for DWI in California can be harsh, especially if you have had more than one conviction. These penalties can include jail time, fines, court costs, probation, and other penalties designed to deter offenders from committing the same crime in the future. The penalties for your first three offenses include all of these penalties at levels that increase with every additional conviction. Once you accumulate a fourth offense, it becomes a felony and the mandatory minimums for jail time increase and the other penalties for DWI increase as well with felony charges. This can be very serious and impact your life in a negative way. Having a San Diego DWI attorney to represent you during your trial and any subsequent proceedings is very important if you want to be able to continue with your life and be able to go back to your job and other activities.
