To be in
style or not to be interested in style is the question that I ask myself every
time I see a beautiful woman wearing oversized sweatpants and a XXL T-shirt.
It is time to get into something more fitted and more flattering to your figure.
The good news is that this summer and fall the fabrics are changing. Microfibers
and stretch fabrics are taking over. This means you can trade in your sweatpants
for a sexy, but still comfortable, stretch skirt or pant.
Along side comfort, fashion and style put a big emphasis on the individual expression you make through texture, color, and print, tight or loose fitting styles. Style is about choice and what makes you feel good. It is what defines you as an individual. The beauty of fashion is that it does not have to be the same. You can spice up your wardrobe by getting a fun colorful blouse, a new cut in a pant or by adding some gold jewelry to your work suit. Your closet should contain fashion extremes. It should start with jeans and a fitted tee and end with a beautiful evening dress.
Try to be open to new changes in fashion. Start slowly, and please, never say, "That is not me!" Each season you can change a little bit of your look, because you can always go back to the way you looked before if you do not like the new you.
There is a big wave of influence from the seventies in all aspects of the fashion world. Paris is full of color and wild prints, fitted tie-dyed tops, flared pants, gold necklaces and big round earrings, and a lot of lip gloss. Sex appeal is back!
If I try to do anything it is to educate women that fashion is your everlasting friend. It keeps life exciting through constant change, making us always different. For the best look of the summer try to wear color and print. Take out that white suit from your closet and wear it, or go buy a new one! With it wear a turquoise blouse with an orange trim, accentuated by a great pair of gold earrings.
At the beach you can wear an embroidered cut out jean with a fitted white shirt, and of course a two-piece or a one piece gold bathing suit. Do not forget your straw hat, and try to add some flowers to it. It is time to wear flowers in your hair and be in love with fashion all over again.
