March Fashion Tip

 

It's Chic to Be Basic!

 

Fashion has never been more functional!  An easy way to add trend this Spring is by updating the utilitarian basics in your wardrobe.  Whether it's a new pair of relaxed khaki's, a hip trench coat, or a sassy shirt dress -- it's available in a style and fabric just right for you!  Opt for the classic khaki color or try a piece in the new "it" color - olive green.  Go ahead -- dare to be basic!

March Optical Illusion Tip

 

You Long-Legged Beauty!

 

If your dream has always been to appear taller with longer legs -- your wish is about to be granted!  You can easily add the illusion of 2-4" to the length of your legs by how you tailor and wear your pants.  First, keep everything from the knee down the same color - pants, trouser socks and shoes.  Opting for shoes with a more pointed versus a rounded or squared toe.  Second, wear the highest heel that is comfortable and have your pants hemmed as long as possible.  In general, the front of the leg should fall at least to the top of the shoe or with a slight break. Depending on heel height, the back of the pant can be hemmed slightly longer, down the heel, to create the illusion of length.  If you often  wear both flats and heels, buy 2 pairs of your key basic pants and hem accordingly.  Dreams can come true!

 
 
Not So Good



 

Remember, your STYLE is Specific To Your Life  & Essence.  Clothes are a necessity.  STYLE is an expression.  Clothes are for everyone.  STYLE is yours!
