Dress Between Seasons

Seasons come. Seasons go. In between their coming and going, what do you wear?  The changing seasons can effectively make it difficult for you to find the right dress because the weather can become rather unpredictable. You could never predict whether the bright sunshine warming up your face right now will turn into a rather weepy, wet, and cloud-covered sky in a few minutes. Yet, despite the weather’s unpredictability during the changes in seasons, you can still remain stylish. In this article, you will learn some tips on how to dress between seasons.

Dress according to season. If you are at the tail end of one season and are about to enter into the next, make sure you are ready for the coming season. So, as winter begins packing up, you should do the same to your winter clothes. You will not need your dark-colored boots, hosiery, and thick turtlenecks for spring or summer. In their place, you can wear brown or tan boots together with dresses that are appropriate for the coming spring or summer. To keep the balance, wear a sweater or blazer on top of your new spring clothes.

Wear clothes in layers. Three layers should be enough. Wearing more than three might keep you too warm for comfort during spring or summer season. For the innermost layer, you can wear a tank top. On top of it as second layer, you can wear a sweater. As your outermost third layer, you can wear a jacket. Never wear three shirts in layers. It will be very warm and uncomfortable. Worse, it can make you look foolish. Make sure that you wear at least one layer that is structure (for example, a knee-length coat or a blazer). Stick to neutral colors, if you can. You can wear clothes with colors from the same family, but be very careful about going overboard. Contrast can create a really visually pleasing effect on your layers. You can also try mixing and matching fabrics. Silk or cotton, for example, looks perfect with cashmere.

Show your skin. Especially your legs. Save the stockings and socks for rainy days. Show how wonderful your bare legs look by wearing flats (e.g., ballet flats) that have true soles and heels. Avoid wearing flats that are sole-less or heel-less, as they actually look like slippers. Under inclement and rainy weather, you can wear rain boots, but do step into real shoes once you get out of the rain.

Thin your cover. Thick covers such as winter coats are ideal for winter. For spring and summer, go for the thinner covers. A safari-style jacket is as perfect a cover as a waist-cinched trench coat. If you want to look updated with your cover, you might want to try the sixties-style A-line coats that are becoming popular these days. Such coats look nice on top of trim pants and little dresses.

Prepare for rain. A richly colored umbrella hanging from your arm won’t do much damage to your look. In fact, it may just complement your fashion style while keeping you armed for unpredictable rain.

Seasons may come and seasons may go. Let them. Your fashion sense still remains, although with some minor adaptive adjustments.

Do you believe that you can look sexy even if you don’t have the perfect 36-24-36 body. Yes, you can! The secret: know how to choose the right dresses to complement your unique body shape.

Are you an hourglass, an apple, a pear, or a rectangle? An hourglass has a curvy body with a small waist. An apple has a large upper body with broad shoulders, a wide waistline and lean legs. A pear is the opposite of an apple: narrow shoulders and large hips and thighs. The rectangle has little curves and looks somewhat boyish. No matter what your shape, here are the basic things that you should keep in mind.

Color. Color accentuates your best features while taking away attention from problem areas. Dark colors appear to recede. The areas of your body where you have worn dark clothing will look minimized or slimmed down. Light colors emphasize and make body areas look bigger. To look tall and lean, wear tops and bottoms of the same color. To diminish your height and add a few pounds visually, wear contrasting clothes.
Texture. The material of your clothes will affect how you look. Rough and bulky fabrics will add size to the wearer. If you like to add pounds to areas of your body, you can wear these over them. If you are petite, bulky clothes will overpower your figure. Smooth and clingy fabrics are figure revealing. To hide problem areas, wear tailored or stiff fabric instead.
Hourglass. An hourglass can flaunt her curves and draw attention to her slender waist by wearing fitted dresses and belts. Wear almost anything you like, just as long as your top and bottom half are balanced. If you dislike being an hourglass, make your figure look leaner by wearing similar colors on the top and bottom half of your body.
Apple. If you're an apple, you need to balance the largeness of your upper body. To make your waist look narrow, wear belted dresses or anything that cinches you in the middle. Wear high-waisted pants or skirts to hide your tummy. Balance your slender legs with your upper body by wearing flared plants, or draw attention to them by wearing short skirts.
Pear. If you're a pear, you have a great upper body and you need to hide your plump thighs and hips. To balance your hips with your shoulders, wear tops with wide necklines. Draw attention to your upper body by wearing tops and shirts with colorful patterns. Wear light tops to make your upper body look larger, and dark bottoms to minimize your lower body. To draw attention away from your legs and hips, wear short jackets that end above your hips. Wear A-line skirts or other skirts that fall away from your bottom half.
Rectangle. If you're a rectangle, create an illusion of curves by wearing tailored jackets that flare at the hips. To make your hips and legs look plumper, wear low rise jeans that are lighter in the area of your thighs. To draw attention to your bust, choose tops that have detail and patterns on the chest. Wear designs that add dimension and bulk to your figure.


You don't have to be an hourglass to look sexy. Wearing the right clothes can do wonders for your figure.

How To Dress for New Year's Eve

New Year's Eve parties are an exciting and fun way to kick off the New Year. 

Whether you're keeping it small with a group of a few friends or family members, or if you're going to something larger like a party at work, you're probably wondering what you should wear to this event.  There are a few different things to consider before you go shopping such as if this event will be more formal or casual, and how much you want to spend.

If your place of employment is hosting a New Year's Eve party, it will more than likely be semi-formal.  This means a nicer dress for women and a shirt and tie for men or the equivalent.  There are many great dresses out there to choose from for a New Year's Eve party.  You can choose a short, fun dress with thin straps or a long, fitted dress to show off your figure.  Make sure and get some shoes to match. These should compliment the outfit, but still be comfortable to wear for a few hours at a time since you'll be bringing in the New Year. You can complete the look with some great accessories such as earrings and a necklace. These dresses can be found at different women's store or juniors' clothing stores.

For men, consider choosing some khaki or dress pants with a button up dress shirt and tie or vest.  You can find these at lots of different apparel shops.  Men can choose a decent pair of jeans or khakis and a polo shirt. 
For a more casual event, you can go with several different options.  For an evening at a friend's house, you'll still want to look attractive and somewhat dressed up.  For women this can include a fun dress, some black pants and a dressier shirt or even some nice designer jeans and a dressier shirt or sweater. Jeans and pants are a more practical choice, and you might feel more comfortable in these.  When choosing a shirt to go with them, you'll want something that looks classy and attractive.  Consider choosing one made out of silk or satin.  For those who like it, you can also choose a shirt that's got some detailing like beading, or one that is made out of sparkly material.  Bright colors can be fun too.  To complete this look, just add some fun shoes.
wonderful new year look!!

Develop your Signature Style-image

     Have you ever being told "that's so you" when looking at an article of clothing? If so, then you're well on your way to developing a signature style. A signature style clearly defines you and is recognizable to others. Here's how to turn your everyday look into a signature style

1.    Think about your favorite fashions. A signature style is a particular style that is considered your personal style. Your signature style can be defined by a very particular fashion statement, such as a pair of glasses, a type of hat, a certain hairstyle, or more broadly as a type of fashion that you wear daily. Relying on a specific type of accessory is an easy way to start your own signature style. Assess your current style to get inspiration for your signature style. Developing a signature style isn't about changing your current style completely, just refining it.

2.    Narrow down your signature style. If you feel like your everyday fashion is too boring to become your signature style, look through fashion magazines or walk through the mall, trying to find ideas on a particular style that suits you well. Try on things you might not normally choose, and look for items that you believe work with your personality and lifestyle. Your look could be retro or modern, sporty or sophisticated, girlie or more unisex.

3.    Try out your new look. Try to dress for a week straight in your signature style. Are you comfortable wearing these items? Do you get any compliments about your look? If the answer to both of these is ‘no,' then you might want to continue tweaking your signature style. You can try lots of different looks before settling on a signature style. If the style you pick doesn't feel like "you," then it's not the right signature style, and you should keep looking. When you find the right signature style, it should feel like your personality expressed through clothing.

4.    Be willing to change. Just because it's your signature style doesn't mean that it can't change over time. Don't keep hanging on to a particular style just because you think others expect it from you. You will change over time, and you may latch onto new fashion trends. Don't be afraid to change your signature style.

5.    Keep it realistic. Even if it is your signature style, you can mix it up a little. Avoid dressing head-to-toe in a particular fashion every day of they year, unless you want it to look a little costume-like.

Develop a signature style to make your fashions memorable to others. This is a lot easier than it seems; you can start simply by choosing your favorite type of accessories and incorporating them into lots of different looks. Your signature look should be a fashion that defines you.
