What was I thinking? Was I thinking? Well?we?ve all been there.
The moment is time stopping. There I was, just happily and
innocently window-shopping when I see her. The reflection was
startling! The cute outfit I put together that morning had
betrayed me! I had visions of my picture with my eyes covered by
that shameful black rectangle on the fashion don?t page! Ouch!
Reality hit and I was grateful that photographs were not going
to immortalize this moment. Seriously, who couldn?t use a little
friendly fashion advice now and then? The following is a list of
frequent, ?eh-hem,? oversights and how to avoid THE betrayal
It?s all about the fit, Baby! There are days when baggy
comfort clothes are absolutely necessary, and there are days
when we must resist. What is a proper fit? These days, it is
hard to know because sizes of clothing vary as much as 2 sizes
either way. The best way to ensure that clothes fit properly is
to make an appointment with a tailor. Better yet, take an outfit
with you that you feel fits you well. Get the tailor?s opinion.
If you just crossed your eyes while reading this because you
can?t fit another thing into your schedule, never fear! A good
rule of thumb to follow is how you feel in the clothes. Can you
move while wearing the clothes? Can you cross your arms without
feeling tension in the back of your top? Can you sit without
having your pants ride up into never-never-land? Or, can you do
all of the above because you are wearing clothes you could
perform gymnastic moves in? Wear colors that make you feel
great! We can all wear color. I love experimenting with
color! Wear colors that make you feel good. Colors can energize
or calm you. Colors, which are complimentary to you, will
reflect onto your face and make you look refreshed and pretty
when you are wearing them! It is that easy! Jazz it up!
You can do it! Step out of the comfort zone and jazz up your
style! Trendy clothing can be fun! I?m not talking about
completely changing your style, just spicing it up, giving you
some variation. For example, dress up your classical wardrobe by
adding a trendy blouse, or a fun mini skirt. Add a bit more or
less color than usual. There are lots of trendy clothing stores
and boutiques out there and sales people who are more than happy
to help you make a choice! Have fun! Jeans are hot! Have
you seen the great jeans out there! Jeans with embroidery,
crystals, gems, ribbon, lace, you name it! Jean skirts, jean
jackets, and all lengths and styles of jeans can give your
wardrobe great variety! But, let one denim piece be the star!
Too many shades of denim can be overwhelming! Some of our
favorites: Joe?s Jeans, Red Engine, Massimo and Miss Me. Find
Miss Me jeans at www.turbowear.com. Do
grab ideas from your favorite actor! Do you love a
particular actors style? Rather than completely copy a look, be
inspired by it and create a similar fashion that will suit you.
