Hunt for tops that hug your neckline and have a looser shape. This rich colored top from Missphit has gorgeous jeweled details that bring the eye straight up and over your trouble spots, and straight up to your face.

Classic empire waist tops are your friend. Buy at least one in basic black to dress it up with lots of different accessories. Try a headband, sparkly earrings, or a few large bangles to dress yourself up in a flash.

Vests are trendy, and when you wear yours open with a tunic top underneath, you can show off your shapely shoulders and camouflage your middle very easily.

Wear a lace bottom tank if you'll be doing a lot of dancing. Apple bodies can sometimes have a problem with shirts that ride up, so buy this top in one size larger than you usually would, and layer it with a figure-flattering vest worn open.

Suede boots are perfect for women who love open-air reaurants, but need something warmer when fall weather strikes. Duo Boots are great for women with larger calves, and will flatter your slim legs.
