Smocks and leggings are a great look for women who are mostly slim but who have a bigger stomach or butt that they would like to cover up. Pick a smock that has some tailoring to show off the upper part of your body. This prevents a smock from looking like a tent. Here are some great smocks I found at Stylefinder.com.

Smocks are also great if you are pregnant.

This leather will look awesome with a vintage outfit. I also find this kind of bag more practical during the day as it is big and the strap loops over the body. it won’t keep sliding off your shoulder.

Check out StreetDiva Jeannette. Looking good does not have to be expensive. She bought her outfit from a Dutch catalogue and two shops:

Dress - Wehkamp
Necklace - Miss Etam
Boots - Bristol

Carrying around a laptop can actually look stylish. Check out these bags from Target

I was determined to wear my new dress this morning. The only problem was that it is still quite cold in Holland and I cycle to work. I first tried wearing my black tights/panty hose. These looked rubbish. I then remembered that I had some low-cut white trousers. These just fit under my bulging belly. The last problem I had was finding the right shoes, my new silver ballerina shoes looked perfect and I had some clean red socks (miracle!) I am quite pleased with the ensemble what do you think?

Baukje tried on this dress in Vero Moda.

Kate Moss and Scarlett Johanson has been spotted looking lovely wearing high-waisted jeans but are they for everyone? Unfortunately no. High-waisted jeans are great if you have no issues with your belly or butt. But if either of these body parts are on the large side avoid this hot fashion item like the plague. Low-waisted jeans will compliment your figure much better.

If you are lucky enough to be able to pull off wearing these jeans you can find them at Stylefinder.com.

Baukje tends to go for darker colours. What do you think of these colours on Baukje?

Baukje tried on these clothes in Vera Moda in Groningen. She was a really good sport and was willing to try on most of the things I asked. Baukje is tall and thin, something most women would kill for, but even she is not completely happy with her body. One of her problem areas are her long legs. It is hell finding trousers that fit. Baukje is the perfect candidate for cropped trousers that are currently in fashion. Skirts are also great for her. She is still not convinced and tends to stick to jeans. What do you think?

I was looking for silver ballet pumps and found these for 10 euros in H&M. Aren’t they cute?
