Unlock the Secrets of Your Diamond Body Type

Here at Queen Anna House of Fashion, we believe that beauty truly is in the eye of the beholder, and when it comes to you, you are the first beholder of yourself. So it is imperative that when you look in the mirror, you first believe that you look good, so that will, in turn, make you feel good.

No matter how nutritious apples and pears are for us, we think that you’re even more special than that, and that's why we scraped the fruit and redesigned our way of thinking to be focused on your unique brilliance; unique and beautiful just like a diamond. Our innovative diamond body shape concept empowers you to make fashion choices that celebrate your individuality and elevate your style ensuring a effortless increase in your personal style and allowing you to have fun getting dressed no matter where life leads you. 

• Radiant Diamond Types: Symbolizing a balanced and proportionate body shape, this diamond type lays the groundwork for achieving a harmonious look.
• Trillion Diamond Types: With broader shoulders and a narrower waist, the trillion type creates a strong, triangular silhouette and emphasizes the importance of balancing proportions.
• Heart Diamond Types: Featuring a smaller upper body and wider hips, this diamond type encourages you to enhance curves and embrace a romantic style.
• Princess Diamond Types: Defined by a rectangular body shape, the princess type aims to create the illusion of curves and add visual interest to the figure.
• Emerald Diamond Types: Representing a fuller, voluptuous figure, this diamond type highlights embracing and accentuating curves while maintaining a balanced and stylish appearance. 

Each woman encompasses one of the five diamond types with the potential to encompass trait of more than one diamond, making your body type that much more unique. Each diamond type has a distinct trait, but before we jump right in, we want to be sure to note that not every trait will always fit; this is not a cookie-cutter template but one that will lay a foundation to understand your body type and how to dress in any setting with your diamond type (pun intended).

1. Choose garments that emphasize your assets. Focus on clothes that highlight your best features and draw attention away from any areas you feel less confident about.
2. Balance proportions. Aim for a harmonious silhouette by balancing the top and bottom halves of your body, creating visual interest and an overall sense of balance.
3. Experiment with colors and patterns. Don't be afraid to play with different colors, patterns, and textures to create a unique, personal style that reflects your personality and preferences.
4. Invest in quality wardrobe staples. Having versatile, high-quality pieces in your wardrobe can make dressing for your body shape easier and more enjoyable.

Maybe you've already checked cleaning your closet off your list and shedding those pieces you don't need anymore. It feels so great to see all of that empty space, but then you're probably wondering how you're going to fill that space back up. We want to intentionally add beautiful outfits and timeless essentials that are high quality and will never fade out of style. The best place to start when it comes to adding exciting pieces is with your basic closet essentials. Whether it's a neutral sweater or relaxed jeans, here are our favorite ways to level up the must-haves in your fashion arsenal.

1. Relaxed Jeans

Recently, skinny jeans have more or less disappeared and while we say love whatever you want to love, we DO love how great relaxed jeans feel. Once you find a pair that fits you perfectly, like any piece you buy, make sure you never let that go. The looser cut is great with ankle boots or combat boots, sneakers, and even heels. Pair with a boyfriend shirt or fitted t-shirt and blazer. The options are endless.

2. Classic Crewneck T-Shirt

A basic white crewneck t-shirt that is beautifully tailored to you and is made of high-quality materials is a closet essential that everyone must have. No matter what, it'll go great in any casual setting and it can be versatile enough to even dress it up if executed well. Wear it with a maxi skirt, your favorite pair of jeans, or even a matching blazer and pant set with stilettos for an elegant night out.

3. Non-Neutral Blazer

We all have a black, white, gray, or beige blazer hanging in our closets, but we're veering toward more color in our essentials for 2023. Consider a bright color to wear with your outfits to bring a fun pop of color. Go as daring as you want, from red, blue, or even a bold orange. Add it to your monochromatic outfit or dress it up with an eye-catching color-blocking ensemble. 

4. Neutral Sweater

We've got a few more weeks of winter until all of our cold-weather clothes are put away, so snatch up some neutral-toned sweaters for this season and the next. Keep it handy as luxe loungewear or wear it with a boyfriend blazer, some slacks, and loafers for a classic modern workwear look. Bonus: find sweaters made from lighter fabrics so you can carry them into spring and summer. 

5. Casual Midi Dress

A versatile midi dress is definitely one of those closet essentials to have in your closet for 2023. A midi-length dress brings comfort and to style it, your choices are unlimited. Wear it with cardigans, a cropped denim jacket, or even turn it into a midi skirt by wearing a shirt or sweater over it.

Effortless Dresses for the Holiday Season

I am sure that by the title and the fact we are in November that you think I am referencing the dressing that can accompany your turkey for Thanksgiving. Since I am not big on cooking (especially Thanksgiving dinner), it is essential to point out that I am actually talking about legit dresses. I created a holiday guide to effortless dresses that has a few of my favorite dresses and accessories that can be worn with them.

"The New Normal"

"The new normal" has been anything but easy. From homeschool to working from home to racially driven civil unrest, losing jobs, and the list goes on and on. It has still nonetheless been challenging for those of us that have the privilege to continue somewhat on the level of normalcy, so a good jump-in and go dress would definitely fit your needs.

As a wife, a mother, an entrepreneur, and now an actively engaged member of the community for several social justice initiatives, I know the challenges we face as women when we try and balance 1001 glass plates and hope that none of them fall. I have come to find out that some of the plates that I thought were glass were actually not glass at all. I like to think of them metaphorically as the charming "fake china" from Costco that we only buy to present the store-bought cookies, like they were fresh out of the oven? Or am I the only one who does that?? I like to play along until one of my kids outs me, "Mommy, these Jerry's cookies are sooo good, we need to buy more on the way home!" (Blank Stare; Blink Blink).

Needless to say, every time I felt like one of the metaphorical plates were on its way tumbling down, someone was waiting to either lighten the blow or catch it before it hit the ground each and every time. As a women's retailer and lifestyle brand, we want to be that person waiting in the wings for you. Whether through fashion and style, philanthropy, culture, or health and wellness tips, we are positioning ourselves to assist the whole woman, and not just the outer. Are we therapists? Nope. But if you just happen to be in the store shopping and it comes out you need one, and we know somebody, who knows somebody, who is; we most certainly point you in the right direction.
