So what is the core wardrobe item that you're wearing on a daily basis? Yup, it's the jacket. Not just a jacket but a flattering jacket! Seriously, too many women end up buying jackets that do squat for their appearance. I've seen so many women that wear ill-fitted jackets, making it look like their boobs are going to rip up the buttons and burst out. Not to mention, that many look like a little kid trying to wear their mother's coat because the sleeves and hem are way long for their petite frame. And then there are those who simply wear the wrong cut, bringing out the worst in their shape. A big butt gets bigger, a full bust gets humongous, a wide waist just look like a thick brick, thin legs turn into chicken legs, you know what I mean.
