Fashion Tips Part 2

Hey guys! Sorry for not posting in awhile. School has been overwhelming. I am a freshman in high school so I've been busy with projects and tests.  Here is another outfit idea:

My brace it goes up to the collar so I added a pretty scarf to cover it up and add some extra oomph to the outfit. Loose flouncy tops are a great way to still be girly but conceal the awkward lumps of the brace. You don't always have to wear a sweatshirt!

The shirt is cinched at the waist so it stays put on your body. I know coral is more of a summer color but it reminds me of orange leaves in the fall. I just paired the shirt with a pair of skinny jeans and flats. I know you're probably thinking "skinny jeans/jeggings, are you nuts?". But I find that they fit much better since it's more form fitting, they fit around your legs and waist. My waist is 1-2 sizes bigger than I used to be because of the brace, however my legs are not quite proportional to my waist so the bigger sizes were too loose around my legs. That's why I find jeggings and skinny jeans to be the better style. It's important to wear a belt since jeans tend to slip easily on the brace. My theory is that there is less friction than there is on skin. I hope this post is helpful! Please leave any post requests below!
