One fact about this Beautinista that most people do not know is that I have a degree in Fashion Merchandising and Business. People have always wanted some of my fashion tips so I have given you a list of my Do's and Don'ts. If you have some tips to share, feel free to comment, I would like to know yours as well. Tootles for now.
- Do's
-Make your legs look longer with miniskirts.- Wearing eyeshadows in purple and green does NOT look good. Wear makeup within your natural tones or a few shades off.- The best trend is no trend! Who cares what's in the magazines and on TV? If you like what you wear and you wear it with a smile, you will set the trend! People will think you look great and go to you for fashion trends. Be spontaneous and always try something new. Good luck!-When your wearing a tight shirt, wear loose pants, and when wearing loose pants, wear a tight shirt. Loose with loose makes you look sloppy, and tight on tight makes you look kinda trashy.-I think when you wear jeans, you should wear a cool shirt that makes ordinary jeans look good. You can also play up jeans with a good looking pair of shoes.- Make sure that each time you buy a new bra, you see a fit specialist at a lingerie store or the lingerie department at a major department store. Wearing the right fitting bra makes you look great and feel much more comfortable. - If you have blue eyes wear blue often to accentuate your eyes.-Always put on nail-polish; it looks great. But you must keep in mind that the nail polish should match the colour of the clothes that you are wearing so that you don't look weird. - Something totally cool right now, especially for teens, is hair dye. Bright un-natural colors like pink or blue look great. This style is especially good for people with short hair.Make sure you try it temporary first to make sure it will look good!-Hey guys, you can make a great body spray by mixing your favorite perfume with some water and some sparkly mini glitter jewels! Go ahead and try it.-For a nice casual look this fall in the pre-teen to teen section, just try some loose flare jeans with a tight fitted top. They look great together and compliment curves.-Embellish and accessorize the outerwear and sweaters that you already own for creativity and replacement savings. A faux fur collar and cuffs attached to last year's wool coat makes a new look and is economical too. Bead a sweater neckline, or add some decorative trims (gold coins, feathers, one-of-a kind buttons, leather strips etc.) around the bottom of your pant legs or copy tuxedo style striping up the side seams using metallic trims, or even the beading that matches your sweater, to add sparkle and fresh style.-All the best dressed know that when wearing animal prints less is more! Please do not dress in animal prints from head to toe!!!The best dressed and stylish are wearing only one print and adding a dramatic flair by doing so. My favorite is wearing animal print accessories such as a wonderful animal print scarf, or even some fab shoes! Just remember less is more and you will never go wrong.- If you are small chested you can still wear tops that are bare on top,they'll accentuate your neck and shoulders.-If you're wearing tight pants, wear thong underwear or a G-string. If you're wearing tight white (or light colored) pants, ONLY wear nude underwear. NO OTHER COLORS! White underwear will glow under artificial lights, and dark underwear will be visible from a block away!-Ever try to stay "in" with fashion and find that by the time you find the designer look-a-like is already on its way out? Stick to basics! You can't go wrong, they never are on their way out and you can wear them with anything. Sure you can buy a Crocodile skirt here or a bare back tank there but don't go over board on trends because by the time you wake up the next morning that outfit you just bought the day before will be faux pas! ---Always keep looking in the magazines,the trends, and then go to your designer to make it real.-Go with what you feel comfortable in. Just don't go with what everyone else has on. Go with what you like. -If you wear a black skirt or dress and black shoes, wear black stockings. It is lengthening, slimming and sexy. -- Wate-The look for this season is basically structured with straight-slim silhouettes. Lilac, burgundy, tomato red, bright colors form the basic colours in vogue. Transparency still dominates the trend. Tubes, sequins, beads, ornate the embroidery length of Indian Kutra's further diminishing with shorter ones in vogue.-I like classic, smooth, understated. For this, one color or monochromatic garb works best. But you have to know which color flatters your skin & hair. Medium to dark hues are more slimming in general. Nice, drapey materials look and feel good. Slim cuts are tres cool because you don't have so many lines broken up- for instance, a jacket over pants in a blue that flatters you. Check the shoulders so it hangs well, stops at hips or below, and make sure the pants are long enough. Poof- a classic.- Golden rule of fashion (unless you are Audrey Hepburn in Funnyface) If you're wearing black pants wear black socks -ALWAYS!-Tie dye or embroider something right now. Take the stuff you do not wear and see what else you can do with it- for instance, make flood pants out of ones that have a nowhere length. Make a skirt out of jeans. Put silk ribbon embroidery on a sweater or blouse. Get fabric paint and write poetry all over a t-shirt or scarf.- When you buy an everyday item, try to think of at least three things you already own that you can wear with that item.- If you are wearing a white shirt, please wear a bra close to your skin color.- Always wear your size. Clothes that are too small really do not look good. --If you are going to wear tight pants or shorts then wear a thong that way you can not see you panty line or just don't wear any.-Flares are so popular right now, wear them with a black t-shirt and don't wear very tight stuff if you're not thin. Tight pants are also in style and curling your hair is so popular, celebrities are using it. Give your self a new look, be creative.- DO wear bras your size! For some unfortunate reason, a lot of women wear bras with cups far too small, giving them the infamous quadruple boob syndrome. IT LOOKS AWFUL!Don'ts-For the plus size women don't wear tapered leg jeans in very light colors -- go for bootleg or flare styles they are guaranteed to slim you down at least 10 pounds. If you don't like jeans try boot or flare leg stretch pants, also. Very slimming.- In the "No You Didn't" catagory, please ladies do not wear clothes that don't fit..what is that wear one size smaller than you are thing? It is not stylish or classy to look trashy and flabby! No you didn't!-Never wear pantyhose that are lighter than your natural skin color. They make your legs look fatter, and the color is just plain bad. Stick to sheer shades that match your skin, or funky patterns and bright colors. But NO WHITE!
- Never, ever, wear pantyhose with open toe sandals, huge faux pas. - - Never wear black pantyhose with white shoes.
- No knee-high hose with skirts- Don't wear tennis shoes with a dress and pantyhose to and from work. If you absolutely can't survive in heels, then carry your shoes and walk in stocking feet. That looks better then tennis shoes.- Although shirts with no backs or strings across the back are n vogue right now, one should not wear them unless you are very thin and have a toned back. Far too many girls who are perfectly normal wear these shirts and it makes them look lumpy and overweight.-If you must wear a thick coat of foundation on your face, PICK ONE CLOSE TO YOUR SKIN TONE AND BLEND IT IN!!! It looks awful when your neck and chin are two different colors.
