A Guide to Looking Slimmer What Ever Your Shape

If you look around you whilst out shopping you'll see that every woman will have a body which is a unique shape and size.Therefore it is very important you appreciate your figure and the way you look in order to find the best fashion styles for you! This will not only mean that you always look your best but it's a great way to feel young and look slimmer!

Apple Body Shaped

The apple body shape is a very common one amongst women. If you have this body shape and want to wear dresses which show of your curves you might want to try wearing some quality, well-fitting underwear which will make your stomach appear flatter. As for tops and skirts you will want ones that have a broad neckline. Also try and stay away from tight fitting clothes. Why not try wearing a belt around the waist as this will make you appear thinner.

Pear Body Shape

Pear shaped women tend to have less of a bust but have extended waistline and sometimes weighty legs. These women should wear outfits that show off their shoulders in the form of strapless dresses and singlet tops. You want to avoid bringing attention to your behind area so try to avoid wearing tight fitting jeans. Wearing patterned tops with frills will draw the attention away from your waist and will bring it to your upper body.

Hourglass Body Shape

This particular body shape is one that women want. Women with this particular shape usually have a large bust and nipped in waist and hips which appear to look equal to the bust. Women with this body type usually display it by wearing tight fit jeans, pencil skirts, and well fitted trousers to show off their legs. A fitted dress will also show of their figure but don't show too much skin as this will draw unwanted attention.

Rectangle Body Shape

Women with this body shape generally have broad shoulders and an average size waist therefore a round neck shirt would give them more of a feminine appearance. Stay away from halter necks as that will draw the attention to your shoulders. Wearing darker colours would also give a much slimmer appearance.

If you're looking to change your style and get a new look for summer without the big price tag then check out the E5P website. You'll find a full range of ladies tops, dresses and shoes for just £5! So go online and grab yourself a bargain!

Top Ten Things We Love About Cheap Women’s Clothes

Over the years the word cheap has developed too many negative connotations and is used in too many different contexts to really be a solid definition of anything. Cheap women’s clothes for example are perceived as being made from low quality materials in unflattering shapes and poor fits. As all of us who shop at Everything5Pounds know though, this couldn't be further from the truth.

When it comes to ‘cheap’, they mean low cost. They put it in their name after all. In celebration of cheap women’s clothes, we’re going to take a quick look at the top ten reasons why we love them.

1# They are low cost, meaning we can buy more.

2# Fashion is becoming more and more disposable and trends change so fast it is tough to keep up. Thanks to the availability of cheap clothing we can always be on trend but not out of pocket.

3# It doesn't matter if we only wear something once.

4# You can mix and match cheap pieces with more expensive ones. No one will be able to tell.

5# We can indulge our love of shoes. A pair for every occasion? At £5 a pair you can.

6# You can create a whole outfit for £20.

7# There is no excuse not to look good. Cheap in price, high in quality means more clothes and more choice.

8# We can pick ourselves up when we are feeling blue without breaking the bank.

9# We can be adventurous.  Seen a style but not sure it’ll suit you, at £5 per item you can try it out. Be experimental.

10# They allow us to have the ability to express ourselves and have fun with fashion.

The list goes on and on but if you weren't a convert before I'm pretty sure this left will have left you reaching for your mouse.

Remember cheap doesn't always mean bad, think cheap is good for my wallet and my wardrobe.

Happy Shopping Ladies!

Summer Festival Fashion Style Guide

Summer is beginning and it's that exciting time of year for all your festival goers. Hopefully you've all purchased your tickets and you're starting to count down the days you can pitch your tend, sit back relax and enjoy the music.  It's a very exciting season but it's time you start planning what you need to take to your festival! Of course you need to think about the tent, food and drink but most importantly, your ultimate festival wardrobe! While you need to be a bit sensible and pack things which are practical and comfortable, festivals are well known for being able to show of your style and go mad for the weekend. 

For all those English festivals, as much as we would love sunshine all weekend it's inevitable that the rain will come down and create a lot of MUD! So what better footwear to have then a bright, vibrant pair of wellies! They're the ultimate festival fashion accessory and you'll definitely be lost without them. Who wants to get muddy feet anyway? You'll be much better of protecting your feet and you can even play around in the mud puddles without worrying about ruining your shoes.

As for clothing you don't want to take your favourite outfits to a festival with you as you don't always bring home what you take. A great item of clothing are leggings as although it can be warm during the day it can often become pretty chilly in the evening. The next item of clothing are your typical denim shorts matched with a pair of knee high socks! They're a bit of fun to wear and it's probably one of the only times you can go around with stripy legs all day!

Now what's the one accessory you always see at festivals? If you haven't guessed it then it's the famous flower hair bands! For some reason they appear to be the must have thing to wear at a festival. You can find them at any festival and are great for keeping your hair of your face for when you're dancing amongst thousands of people in a huge crowd. Festivals are always a great excuse to try out that hippy look you know you've been dying to try. Another great thing for festivals are those brightly coloured flowery fashion bags, you should check out the full range of fashion bags on the E5P website because a bag will only cost you £5 and you won't be worried about it getting ruined or muddy.

One last thing that’s an absolute MUST HAVE for English festivals are of course a waterproof mac! You find that they come in a huge choice of colours so pick one that’s bright and that makes you stand out from the crowd! You don't want to be soggy and wet all weekend (hopefully it will be sunny but we can't order in good weather) so a waterproof mac is a very important item for all festival goers! Have fun and remember it’s a weekend to go wild!

Tips for Choosing the Right Skirt

Women’s skirts come in all sorts of shapes, styles and sizes so choosing the right one can be difficult! What with the fashion industry becoming much more diverse you’ll find that skirts that range from petite to plus size.

Whether you’re going to work or just meeting some friends for lunch, you can’t go wrong by wearing a skirt. Where skirts come in all sorts of styles you will always be able to find a skirt to match the occasion. If you need to find the right skirt for a specific occasion but not sure which style you need then here are a few of my recommendations.

 

The Office Look

If you need to dress to impress and look smart when at work then I would definitely recommend a pencil skirt. This style of skirt should be matched up with a smart shirt and accessorised with a smart handbag and a smart jacket such as a blazer. Most professional women would say that a pencil skirt is an essential part of their work wear wardrobe.

Sexy, Fun and Flirty

If you’re going out for the evening and want to get noticed then I would recommend high waisted short skirts. They come in many different styles and patterns and are definitely a top trend for this year. The best way to wear this specific style of skirt is if you match it up with a crop top or a long shirt that’s tucked in. Match it up with accessories and a clutch bag and you’ll be ready to party in no time.

The Sweet Casual Look

This year you should invest some money into buying a maxi skirt. They come in a huge array of colours and can be worn anywhere. You can dress them down with a pair of flip-flops, a big hat and big sunglasses for when you’re going down the beach or grabbing some lunch with friends in the sun. You can also dress them up by wearing them with a pretty top and a pair of heels for that more sophisticated look. If you buy just a plain black maxi skirt you’ll find you can wear it with pretty much anything.

Sexy and Classy

Another style of skirt that’s very popular amongst women is the long maxi skirt with a slit down the leg. These skirts are sexy and stylish and are a great way to show of your legs. This particular style of women’s skirt works best with a pair of heels and a clutch bag.

What Should You Look Out For This Spring/Summer?

Spring is so close you can almost touch it! The flowers are starting to make an appearance and the days are slowly but surely beginning to warm up. Whilst all this is happening, what have you done to get yourself ready for the next few summer months? If you’re a bit stuck then here are a few must have items of clothing you should have to get your ready for the year.

Maxi Dress

Spring is just around the corner and a maxi dress should definitely be at the top of everyone’s must have list. Maxi dresses are flattering, light and are very comfortable. If you want to create that beachy look try to remember your glamorous oversized sunnies and a big floppy hat to keep the sun out of your face.

High Waisted Shorts 

If you haven’t done it already then get yourself a pair of High-Waisted shorts. This gorgeous orange pair will definitely get you in the mood for the next few Summer months! You’ll stand out from the crowd and will definitely look the part. These shorts come in 5 different colours so you need to check out the E5P website and make sure you have a pair ready for the start of Spring.

Blue Denim jacket

Although it’s starting to warm up during the daytime, the night is still pretty chilly. For all those sweet summer dresses you have you will definitely be needing a denim jacket to keep you warm. A denim jacket is pretty much one of the top essentials you need to have in your wardrobe. They will match any outfit and are always a little bit dressier than wearing a knitted cardigan.

The great things about cheap clothing websites is that you don’t always have to break the bank to look fashionable. Everything5Pounds is a cheap clothing website where all the items you see will only cost you £5, so whether it’s a new dress you want or a brand new pair of shoes you know that by shopping on E5P you’re bound to find yourself a bargain.

Boots For All Occasions

First off, I just want to get something straight – I am a self-confessed shoe addict! I don’t know what it is but I can’t walk past a shop without wondering if they have new footwear in. It’s kind of like a hobby for me, collecting different styles and colours. My mum tends to get quite annoyed because my room is just absolutely covered, although she doesn't complain when she needs some nice heels to wear out to an office party!

At the moment, whether it’s the colder months I'm not sure, I've been collecting boots. I scour all corners of the World Wide Web looking for different styles I haven’t seen before.

In this blog post, I'm going to be taking you on a journey through the wonderful world of boots and which situations you can wear them in.

Ankle Boots

Velvet looking ankle boots are my favourite type of footwear at the moment, so I had to kick off my list by mentioning them. They look great with most items of clothing, but for me it’s all about rocking the skinny jean/nice boots look. I tend to wear this style around college and out on shopping trips with the girls.

Knee High

The pinnacle of the ladies boots department has to be the knee high style. I tend to wear these with leggings or a skirt. They always look a bit daunting but I find knee high boots to be one of the most comfy of shoes to wear. It’s just annoying as my mum is always going through my knee high collection to find some to wear to work. I really wish I wasn't the same size as her sometimes!

UGG Boots

UGG boots and similar looking styles are really comfy and perfect for the winter months as the sheep skin lining keeps your feet and legs snuggled. They’re perfect to wear with jeans but ladies be warned, I ruined my first pair by wearing them out whilst it was raining.

Wellies

There’s no better childhood past time then jumping around and splashing in the puddles. I still love it to this day and look forward to going out wearing my wellies when it’s raining. Okay, they’re not a ladies boot as such but I can’t imagine a man walking down the street wearing my pink jelly bean ones!

Ladies boots really are the king when it comes to shopping for footwear, that’s not to say that you need to spend a fortune when buying though. Everything5pounds.com add new boots all the time and as the domain name suggests, they’re not going to cost you a bomb.

Happy shopping!

You can buy many different styles including patterned, sequinned and plain. One of the beauties of a batwing top is that they look great on any type of figure and actually compliment women with fuller figures.

Tunic

As well as being the standard type of uniform for a lot of fields, tunics look great no matter what. You can buy patterned and plain tunics from the site that look great with jeans and trousers. Tunics look great on almost any figure as they give the illusion of a tube body shape.

How To Choose The Right Bag For You

Ladies bags come in all different styles, sizes, and colours. Handbags have even become a status symbol for ladies who can afford to buy expensive designers' bags. If you’re looking for some help when choosing the right bag then here are a few tips to help you.

Handbag
A handbag is a classic style of bag that can be simple enough to use at a non-formal event or you can also buy a more elegant and classy handbag that will fit well into your formal attire. Handbags are usually medium-sized so they will usually fit in your make-up bag, mobile phone, purse etc. The handles or straps of handbags vary, you can get handles that are long enough to go over your shoulder or ones that simply hang off your arm.

Satchel Bag
If you’re the type of person who goes to college/university or just like exploring different places then a satchel bag is the right bag for you! A satchel bag is ideal because it has enough room for some of your books and various personal belongings as well as easy access front pockets. Satchel bags usually have two handles, a short carry handle and a long over-the-shoulder strap, and are usually quite sturdy and durable.

Clutch Bag
Clutch bags require your whole hand to grasp them since they do not have handles. These types of bags are usually rectangular or are in the shape of an envelope and they can go from casual to formal depending on their designs and styles. Clutch bags are small but can be large enough to contain your lipstick, small purse, and your mobile phone. You can look for a bejewelled/sequin clutch bag if you’re attending formal parties or even go for that plain black clutch to match every outfit. You can find loads more clutch bags on the E5P website.

Shoulder Bag 

Shoulder bags are one of the most common types of bags. They come with adjustable straps depending on your preferred length. Shoulder bags come in different sizes but are commonly made large enough to contain everything you need for a shopping trip or day out. This type of bag is ideal for women who are not fond of carrying a bag by the hand.

Remember that when you’re choosing a bag you have to consider your purpose for having it, do you need it for a special occasion? Shopping trips with friends? Or just as an everyday bag for college or work?

If you’re looking for a new bag that won’t end up costing you a fortune then check out the Everything5Pounds website for a bag that will cost you just £5!
