HOW TO WEAR ANYTHING BACKLESS

Have you ever walked into a store and you saw a very beautiful dress. In the process of checking it out, you turn it around only to see that the back is open. Then, you're like, bummer, and you have to return it because you think you can't put it on? OR probably you have it in your closet and you're waiting for a miraculous day that you'll finally be able to put it on? Well, I hope that day comes soon!


Say bye-bye to all that now, Enjoy!

Before I tell you what to wear with it, here's what NOT to wear: Plastic/'Invisible' straps! PLEASE, NO!! I'm not even sure why those things were invented because, they're VERY visible so, BIG NO to those! Moving on..

1. DUCT TAPE: It's kind of like a DIY method. It's the cheapest and probably the most painful. LOL! You get either 2 or 4 small different pieces of  duct tape. If you're using 2, you just put them across your bust or if you're using 4, you put 2 on each bust in the form of an 'X' and Viola! you're done!

something like this

2. Second is a backless, strapless bra! It holds you at the sides with adhesive wings so you should be fine with this. Only problem with this is after so much wear it tends to become loose and less firm on you and can cause you to be uncomfortable. You can check this one out!

3. Third option is an invisible silicone bra. This bra would work best on people with smaller bust because it has no straps or almost no  form of  hold except from the adhesive moulding of the bra. It is just placed on the breast. It is also perfect for light materials and the skimpiest outfits! Here's one.

4. Another option is a convertible bra that allows you to wear it in almost any position. It is awesome and a must-have. Some allow up to nine different positions. It balances out the weight of your breasts across your lower back and abdomen. Not all of them are backless. So you may not be able to wear it with every backless dress! Check out this and this too.

5. There's also the padded, backless body shaper bra. This is perfect for every body type because it comes in the form of a bodysuit. It's a one-piece so it not only helps your bust area but also, your tummy! Another awesome option. Check out this one.

I hope that this problem is now solved for all of us! Now go and get all those backless outfits you've always wanted to rock!!

Check out these four backless dresses:

1. Topshop (Totally in style - Peplum and red-hot!)

2. Modcloth (This dress is so unique, I LOVE it)

3. Topshop heart lace dress (CUTE!!)

4. Boohoo (Perfect for an outing at night!)
Thanks for stopping by. Have an awesome day!! :)

RED + TRIBAL PRINT

Hey guys, what’s up? Hope you had a great week! So, today’s post is very simple but stylish. You can wear this to almost any party. If it’s night time, you might want to replace the wedges with a sexy ankle strapped sandal with some gold/metallic detailing or an edgy strappy black sandal and then add either a red clutch or any metallic clutch. For jewelry, you can add some chunky bracelets and a pair of big hoop earrings!

Total outfit cost: approximately $40

Enjoy!!

 














 I got the dress in Medium size instead of Extra small or small size that I would normally wear because I wanted it to look loose and relaxed. (If you think you have a dress that's too big for you, just try adding a belt to the smallest part of your waist).

DRESS: From Suzy Shier (not available online)
WEDGES: From Sirens (was on sale - not available online) (This and this are the closest I could find.)
OLD RING AND BRACELETS

Thanks for stopping by Open-mouthed smile and have an awesome weekend.

 If you love yourself you can love anyone, so look inside and believe. Smile
