Style Rules To Break

Style Rules To Break

You know how when you were growing up there were kids who just positively THRIVED on breaking rules? I was not one of them; those children scared me half to death. Which is why I love breaking stodgy old fashion rules! Are you like me in that you yearn to feel "bad" without getting in trouble? These laws are just begging to be squashed.

1. Don't mix prints!

This rule is as outdated as they come. In fact, print-mixing has been one of the most prominent trends on the runways in recent seasons. I love it because it allows the wearer to take a risk in an unexpected way.

2. You can't wear white to a wedding!

OK. This rule DOES still apply to wedding guests, but recently has been amended to exclude the wedding party. Case in point: Pippa Middleton's glamorous Maid of Honor look, Kate Moss's angelic wedding party and Kim Kardashian's bridesmaids. I'm actually seriously considering dressing my lovely bridesmaids in ivory for my wedding!!!

3. Open-toed shoes are only for summer!

Not so, I say. As long as the shoe in question doesn't have a super summery sole (like cork or jute),feel free to add a pair of tights to take your favorite peep-toes or sandals into the next season

4. Glitz and shine do not belong outside before sundown!

People of my dear grandmother's generation (but NOT my mother, who loves her glam 24/7) like to think that flashy garb during the day is a total fashion no-no. I disagree! When done tastefully, a little sparkle can spruce up the safest grey sweater, and a sequin cardigan can be the perfect complement to a plain tee and trousers.

5. Always match your purse to your shoes!

In the same vein as the above rule, this is totally outdated. In the past, being prim (a highly sought-after trait in a woman) was achieved by doing things like this, or like, always having coordinating nails and toes. Stir the pot by choosing shoes and a handbag in the same STYLE but different colors/textures.

6. Never mix gold and silver jewelry!

No way, man. I'd upload a pic of my right hand ring stack right NOW if my nails weren't so unmanicured. This rule is silly; pile it on tastefully. A well-edited collection of rings or bangles in different metals is actually a very cool and sophisticated look.

7. Denim on denim is tacky!

Not always. When done wrong, I'll admit, the result is the always-hilarious. A hot new trend is the worn denim shirt, which actually looks lovely paired with a darker or lighter wash of jeans.

THE LITTLE BLACK DRESS

The little black dress is an evening or cocktail dress, cut simply and often short. Gabrielle ‘Coco'Chanel was the first women's clothing designer who introduced the first little black dress to the world in the 1920s since then the "little black dress" is considered essential and a must have for women and fashion observers who believe it's a "rule of fashion" that every woman should own a simple elegant black dress, that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

BODY SHAPE

“HOW TO LOOK AESTHETICALLY BEAUTIFUL NO MATTER WHAT YOUR

BODY SHAPE IS”

I truly believe that all body shapes are beautiful in their own unique way: If you understand what your proportions are and also know a few style guidelines for your figure, you are well on your way to looking your best. Identifying your own cookies-cutter body shape can help you steer in the right direction of picking up an outfit.

There are 4 vital factors on how to flatten your frame no matter what body shape you’ve got.

§ Proportions

§ Vertical body line

§ Fit

§ Confidence

-

Ever wonder why an outfit just looks great on someone, even though you just particularly like the clothes? It’s because of the proportions of that look.

So if you have curves add a detail rich or light-colored top with a skirt/pants, if you have a full bust wear something more solid and simple on top because the skirt/pants will balance your heavy upper body.

Vertical body line is that proportion between upper and bottom half, in order for you not to look stubby, choose clothes that would help you stream line your silhouette from top to toe.

If your legs are short compared to your upper body, you can wear accessories and clothing that draws the eye up towards your face and shoulder. Straight or boot cut pants, high waist pants and skirts, heels light colored top and dark bottom to elongate your legs and bags that end at mid-section length.

If your legs are longer compared to your upper body, you probably have a high waist, wear accessories that draws the eye down like jackets that end at hip level, un-tucked tops, low rise pants and skirts, dark colored top to elongate your torso (The main part of the body excluding the head, arm or leg) and light colored bottom, bags that end around the hip level, flats or shoe with low heels.

The perfect fit for all body shapes; if your clothes are too tight, it can highlight areas you don’t like. The same thing applies if they are too loose because it makes you a little bigger. Basically no matter how fabulous a dress is if you’re uncomfortable in it you won’t look or feel good.

Confidence in the clothes you wear can make or break your look, I believe confidence is a combination of wearing 3 things that makes you look good:-

The right clothes –in proportion, vertical and fit

The right colors for your skin tone

Self-confidence.

By drawing attention to your best body part, your confidences will sky-rocket. Ever wonder why Beyonce looks great? It is because she accentuates her curves with self-confidence and at the same time wears the perfect fit and her personal colors.

Finally, light colors create a focal point, while dark colors take the attention away so, stick to light colors for areas that you want to enhance and be seen.

HOW TO DRESS RIGHT AND BE ATTRACTIVE

HOW TO DRESS RIGHT AND BE ATTRACTIVE

Everybody wants to look attractive and smart .The first thing you need to do to attract men is to select your outfit very carefully. Take into consideration the fabric as well as the color of the dress, the general notation is that Red color really attracts the males so you can try that. Wearing clothes of expensive brand is not the only thing to be done. You really need to have some creative skills and the knowledge to impress others. Wearing a flashy dress and flashy jewelry is not the key to impress men. Remember that simplicity really impresses most men and by just being simple may do the magic.

Wear simple but decent clothes that emphasize your best features, in such a way as to draw attention to you.

Stay on top with current fashion trend but don’t be a slave of fashion, it helps you demonstrate a certain degree of sophistication.

Footwear is an important part of the overall image you present; just because you’re wearing high heels doesn’t mean you’re hot, think of what you wear on your feet as one of the key tone-setters for your ensemble.

Finally the type of make-up you have on tells a lot about you, the best way to go about it is to use a very natural make-up to enhance your beauty. Always remember to go mild on your makeup during the day and you may go vibrant on evening outings.

Fashion Shopping Mistakes

1) Don’t talk yourself into an outfit that isn’t flattering to your frame. There are only two kinds of clothes that flatter you and clothes that don’t and avoid latter regardless of how popular and trendy they are.
2) It is one thing to go shopping with your girlfriends because that can be very social and enjoyable but keep in mind don’t shop with a competitive friend because she will cajole you into buying more and possibly unflattering items weather or not you need it.
3) If you are shopping for a cocktail (event) dresses remember to bring your shoes. That way if you need to have in-store alterations you will be all set.
4) If you need to power shop remember to bring list. This can help focus your attention and keep you on task.
5) Nothing good will come from buying uncomfortable shoes regardless of how fabulous they are.
6) Don’t buy something you don’t need because it is a fantastic sales price. I know we have all done this but it is a waste of money and closet space.
7) Don’t buy on impulse. Ask yourself the following questions when deciding if to buy. Do I need this? Does it fit with my style or wardrobe? Where am I going to wear this? If you are still undecided then put it on hold and if you are still thinking about it at the end of the day –buy it.
