The Style Express

Okay, summer is in full swing and these are some things  I’ve taken note of or learned and are pretty sure you can count on!

~heels make your legs look better and most women feel prettier

~all white done right is veerrrry chic

~nautical to some extent will always be “in”

~it is almost always better to be overdressed than underdressed

~skinny jeans are here for a while

~get a magnifying mirror and use it when applying makeup or examining your face;  it’s amazing what you can see and fix

~a long gold, silver, or mixed metal necklace is a very versatile piece of jewelry; so is a long bead or natural looking necklace

~a pedicure and self-tanner work wonders

~if you haven’t lately, get fitted for and purchase a bra that fits and  underwear that are “no line” and tummy control if needed

~structured, tailored pieces look great on everyone and elevate your look by several notches!

~we should all step out and try new styles and colors regularly, you will be surprised by what looks good

~be prepared to spend more on jeans, shoes, and bathing suits

~branch out, please, from all black continuously

~sometimes work-out clothes look terrific

~a deal isn’t a deal if you don’t need it; those few dollars add up so think before you buy

~clothes that fit well and are made well aren’t cheap but last and if it is a fairly traditional cut or look, it won’t be out of style often or long; buy quality when you can

~remember to use camis and slips when necessary to prevent pieces from being too sheer;  outside light can be unforgiving

~fidgeting and tugging at your clothing detracts from the look

~get a metallic shoe if you don’t have one

~try mixing colors you wouldn’t normally put together to achieve variety in your outfits; for instance, lavender and brown, or  navy and black

~find a tailor and use him/her when needed (ask me if you need one)

~the skinniest part of the leg is the most flattering area for a capri/crop pant to hit on most women

~gentlemen, you also need to take note of how you dress and look;  we care

~a white jean will take you almost anywhere in the summer

So, there you go, they’re not terribly profound or worth committing to memory but good guidelines for reference.  Next time, I’ll be posting  regular text with pics. Let me know if there is a topic  you’d like me to cover.

For days like today, shifts and skirts, tees and tanks with flats are a great uniform.  The markdowns will start to pick-up soon so be watching your favorite expensive pieces to snag when they get in your price range.   Enjoy these long days and stay cool….
