Don’t Get Stuck in a Fashion Rut

Wednesday, May 5th, 2010

As we age, we get too comfortable wearing our old standbys. All it takes it a little tweaking with basic styles you already own to look and feel fantastic. No need to make any radical changes. Remember what makes you look beautiful is being comfortable in your own skin and owning your own individual style.

Shop at a different store than you typically frequent. Try on styles from new vendors you haven’t used before. Ask a sales person who is dressed well whats hot.

Check out the fashion magazines to see what’s new and add the color of the season. This season corals of different shades are in style. They can easily be paired with brown or khaki and white looks fabulous.

Accessorize with a punchy necklace or earrings. Don’t forget to add a belt to define your waist.

Purchase a new handbag in a fun color and texture and get some new sexy sandals.

Speak to your stylist and try a new do. You’ll look and feel 10 years younger.

Embellish Your Look Without Looking Over Done.

Incorporate small embellished items such as a glitzy hang bag, scarf, or jewelry.
The embellishment should be near the part of your body that you want to accentuate.
Be sure it is scaled to your figure. Accessories that are huge will overwhelm your figure.
Large, bold jewelry looks best with simple streamlined clothing.
Sequins, embroidery, studs, and trims look classier on basic colors like black and white.
Only wear one embellishment at a time as your focus. Don’t over do it.
If you have more that three accessories on at the same time, not including your ring or watch, it’s too much. Less is always more but bold is beautiful. Make a statement.
