Creamy Indulgence

Creamy Indulgence


I love this color. Cream works on every skin tone since it's not as stark as pure white. I love the pairing with flowing skirts that will be perfect for the warmer weather. And remember, you can wear these after labor day. Technically, they're not white.

Fashion Tips: Skirts and Sandals

Inspiration: What not to Wear
 
 
    One of my favorite shows to watch is What Not To Wear. Essentially, the show consists of two fashionable stylists, Stacey and Clinton, who ambush people who have horrible taste in fashion. They offer $5000 for a whole new wardrobe in exchange for permission to throw away the horrendous old wardrobe. I'm sure many of us DREAM of the day Stacey and Clinton ambush us in public and offer $5000, but until then, we can take some advice from these fashionistas.
    I've probably watched one too many episodes, but their tips are consistent from show to show. Some tips that really work for most women are the following:
 
1. When choosing a high-waist skirt, choose something that synches at the waist or add a belt, thereby defining the narrowest part of your waist. It's flattering and gives you an hourglass shape.
 
2. Skirts, for most women, are most flattering when they fall above the knee. This shows more leg and makes you look taller.
 
3. Metallics are neutrals. So, a metallic shoe, whether its gold, sliver, or bronze, will usually go with most outfits!
 
 
The sun is out and Spring is here, so try these tips and show off a little leg!
