• How to Dress for Your Body Shape

  Posted on February 26 2020

  

  Each body is built differently. No human body is more perfect than another. Since everyone’s body is unique, understanding what clothing suits your body type best can aid you when shopping. This guide on how to dress for your body shape will assist anyone who’s confused about what’s flattering. This article will overview the inverted triangle shape, pear-shaped body types, and petite frames. Hopefully, you’ll gain a little insight on how to dress for your shape.

  Inverted Triangle Shape

  People with an inverted triangular frame have wider shoulders and narrow hips and thighs., Balance and proportion are key here. Since people with this body shape have wide shoulders, you shouldn’t crowd that space even more with heavy jackets or large sweaters. Instead, keep things light and dainty up top. Spaghetti-strap tops, peplums, and V-necks are perfect for people with this body shape.

  Pear-Shaped

  I know so many pear-shaped women. Quite honestly, I’m jealous of their beautiful figures. Pear-shaped body types mean that your hips and thighs are wider than your shoulders and bust—essentially the opposite of an inverted triangle shape. Some women with pear-shaped bodies have trouble finding outfits that work for them because often a bottom is too small or the top is too big. Nothing ever fits just right. Luckily, there are simple things you can do to find the perfect clothing that flatters your pear shape. The first tip for pear-shaped women is to balance things out. Try your best to make sure your entire outfit is proportioned correctly. You will want to draw the eye upward, accentuating your top half and your defined waist. Some items that emphasize your strong suits are square-neck or cowl-neck tops, bootcut trousers, and A-line dresses.

  Petite Body Shapes

  Petite women are warriors. I can’t imagine how frustrating it is to walk into an adorable store and have nothing fit you properly. There are some things you can do so that every piece of clothing doesn’t overwhelm your frame. The first tip is to try and elongate your body as much as possible. High-waisted pants are an excellent option for people with petite frames. High-waisted bottoms make your legs appear longer than they are. On top, give off-the-shoulder blouses a try. Off-the-shoulder tops are great because they really open up your chest and offer a longer, leaner look.

• 3 Tips for Mastering How to Layer Your Clothes

  Posted on February 03 2020

  

  Ladies, layering your clothes is a real game-changer. There are so many enormous benefits to layering your clothing. If you never layer any of your outfits, your wardrobe will remain basic forever. Anyone looking to spice things up should read these tips for mastering how to layer your clothes. I promise you—you’ll notice a huge difference once you start layering. You’ll look fabulous, and it’s a simple way to improve your style.

  Be Mindful of Materials

  One of the biggest benefits of layering your clothes is the extra material. If your office is chilly, and you’re constantly struggling to stay warm, you should put a light t-shirt underneath your sweater. The extra layer will keep you much warmer. However, you need to be mindful of what material you’re trying to layer.

  First of all, your outfit will look off if you try to layer materials that look too similar. For example, it’d be odd if you wore a velvet shirt underneath a suede sweater. Since the fabrics are so alike, the layering effect will be lost, and you could end up looking extremely bulky. Instead, mix and match the materials. Since suede is thick, pair it with a silkier undershirt to offset things.

  Avoid Color Clashes

  Layering your clothing is an excellent way to add color to your outfit. There’s nothing cuter than a bright camisole under a solid blazer or cardigan. Using colorful undertones is a great way to add dimension to any outfit.

  Layers can help tone things down a bit, too. For example, if you’re wearing a bold floral-printed blouse, you can tone things down by wearing a tan undershirt below it. Adding soft undertones will bring some softness to a bold article of clothing. One vital tip for mastering how to layer your clothes is to avoid color clashes at all costs. Instead, try to choose colors that complement one another. Your entire outfit should flow as one cohesive look.

  Think Seasonal

  You must think seasonally when you’re layering your clothing. In the summer, you could try different forms of layering. Wear a cute jean jacket over a tank top; that way, you can easily take it off if you get too hot. During the winter, layer with warmth in mind. Bundle up, so you’re cozy wherever you are.

  Amaranth Collection is one of the most beautiful boutiques in Tulsa, OK. Our friendly team will assist you with all your layering needs; we want to make sure you have the most stylish wardrobe possible. So, if you’re struggling with how to layer your articles of clothing, please pay us a visit. We’ll show you how layering can dramatically improve your style game.

• Teacher Appreciation 2019

  Posted on May 10 2019

  At Amaranth Collection, we love our teachers. The entire span of my business teachers have been some of my most supportive and loyal customers. We chose to honor them during our customer appreciation week by having an awesome contest. We wanted to feature a few of our top winners by asking them to share a little about themselves, and we think you'll have no trouble seeing why their students, friends, and family love them so much. 

   Jill is a teacher at Lone Star School.

  

  How would you describe your style?

  CASUAL! I teach kindergarten and live on a farm, so nothing fancy for me!

  Heather is a teacher at Lone Star School. 

  

  How would you describe your style?

   I teach Kindergarten, so my work attire has to be cute and functional. I am moving all day long! I love a variety of different types of tops, especially tunic length. I typically wear chino/pixie pants or capris. I love colorful pants to tone down or add a pop of color to whatever top I am wearing. I also like to layer with cardigans and vests in fall, winter, and spring.

  Why do you love shopping at Amaranth Collection?

  I love Amaranth for several reasons. I love the selection and variety. The clothes fit true to size and I have never left disappointed because something I really wanted wasn't stocked in the size I needed. They always offer a great teacher discount. Your purchases accumulate for even deeper discounts with the perk rewards....and following the facebook group gets you some great flash deals if you follow along. Overall the price, one of a kind choices, frequent customer perks, and ever changing options keep me coming back again and again. Also, add to the answers I just sent that everything I’ve bought from your store washes nicely! (Doesn’t shrink, fade, etc.)  That’s important too.

  What do you love most about being a teacher?

  I love teaching! I am finishing up my 13th year. I grew up loving school and I liked to pretend to be the teacher at home, so it was a natural decision to major in education. I love the relationships that I build with my students. I love watching them learn and progress throughout the year. I mentioned earlier that I teach Kindergarten, so my students begin the year knowing a handful of letters and sounds and they leave me in May reading! That is a rewarding experience to know that you help give students those tools that they will carry with them throughout their life. I also like building a classroom community with my students. We really enjoy each other's company and get to do many fun activities and experiences together. It is a very rewarding job for me.

• DIY Halloween Costumes You May Already Have In Your Closet

  Posted on October 29 2018

  Halloween is only a few days away and we're all looking to find just the right costume. The one thing holding most of us back is spending the big bucks for a costume that you may only wear one time. We've decided to show you how to create six costumes from items you may already have in your closet. 

  1. If you've got a black and white striped top in your closet you've got a few options. The one we decided to go with was a bank robber. We already had a simple canvas bag, we just printed a dollar sign and attached it to the bag. The gloves were from one of our shop girl's costume collection, but these could easily be recreated by buying a cheap pair of black winter gloves at wal-mart and cutting off the fingers. 

  The beanie, top, jeans, and shoes are all from Amaranth Collection.

  

  2. Leopard print is everywhere this season so if you don't already own a leopard print top it would be an easy find at most stores carrying on-trend items. We've added cat ears that could be found at most big box stores carrying halloween costumes for under $10. Most times you could find them for less than that. 

  Here we found a cute pair from Claire's: 

  Cat Ear Headband

  The top, earrings, necklace, jeans, and boots are from Amaranth Collection.

  

  3. Minions are everywhere. Chances are if you've got kiddos, they know and love them. We love this costume because it is so easy to create. Just find a mustard top or sweater and a mustard beanie. You could also add overalls for an extra detail. 

  To recreate these goggles, you can purchase glitter cardstock paper and black cardstock paper which can be found at Hobby Lobby for $1.99 each. We then safety pinned the goggles to this beanie to secure them. 

  The top, necklace, beanie, jeans, and booties are from Amaranth Collection.

  

  4. You can't go wrong with being a lumberjack for Halloween. This is an outfit we'd honestly just wear on the daily -- we just probably won't carry our DIY axe around with us. Here we constructed our own axe, but you could easily find one at Target or Wal-mart for around $6. We've found one HERE at Target.

  The rest of this outfit is from items we love that you can find in-store at Amaranth Collection.

  

  5. I love Lucy is doable even if your hair isn't naturally gorgeous and red like Libby's. Find a bandana -- you can find one at Hobby Lobby for around $1, and add a cute midi dress with accessories. It's as easy as that!

  

  6. The cactus may be one of our favorites for our DIY costumes this year. You can find a knit sweater or pair a top with a cardigan like we did here. What makes the knit/crochet easier is that you can stick the straws through the holes. Another option for this would be to buy and cut up pipe cleaners, they would probably stay on easier than our straws did. We took an existing headband we had and created a tissue paper flower to attach. Easy as that.

  

  If you've made it this far and you love the stylish pieces we used to create these costumes, we'd love to have you join our Facebook group #MyACStyle Inner Circle.
