~tips4chix fashion tips~

1. Stay with basics and add a few fashion statements each season.

2. If your arms come close to matching the size of your calf or swings freely in a strong wind, don't wear sleeveless tops.

3. Dress for your body style incorporating these practical guidelines:

a. Subtle flair creates balance for curves. (subtle)

b.Slim Jeans or pants sculpt, mold and conceal most body styles with the right top or tunic.

c. Always draw the eye to your most attractive asset without being too obvious.  That usually means up for most women.

d. Always accessorize!  No one likes a plain package without a bow.  2012 Jewelry trend is big and bold, elephant, snake, coins, etc.

A rule of thumb for fragrance;  Spray twice and walk through, don't saturate and marinate.  Try to choose a frangrance that is light and clean.  If it is on the heavy side, spray once.

Go through your closet at least once a season with a friend that is stylish or your daughter and

get rid of

those out-dated clothes! 

~Three Year Rule~

A good rule of thumb is: If you haven't worn it in three years, toss it.

AND if you have worn it continuously for three years and it looks worn, toss it!

  ~The illusion you want to try to create is a an upside down triangle~

How would you make an apple into a triangle?    How would you make a pear into a triangle?

Do you have a muffin top on top of your jeans? Then maybe tight or tucked in is not for you.

 

The MOST important thing to remember......Dress for your body style!  Don't try to dress like a teenager if you're not, don't dress like a Grandmother EVER!  You can always look young without looking stupid.

                                                                        
An Apple Shaped Woman:
 
As an apple, you want to emphasize your strong points (your bust and legs) while camouflaging your weaker ones (your midsection), keeping it all in balance. Since the idea is to draw the eye toward those parts of your body that shine and away from those that don’t, you want to show off your great legs.

  • You can wear patterns, just follow these guidelines. Any large pattern is going to draw attention, so don’t wear a large pattern on top. Wear a small, subtle pattern on top, or save the patterns for the bottom. A great print skirt with a solid sweater set is a great way to express yourself while also flattering your figure.

  • If you have a fuller chest area (and are comfortable accentuating this area), draw attention to it. Doing so keeps straying eyes from your midsection. Wear a sexy V-neck. (Ooh la la!)

    Wear bras that support your bust. And any straps on your tops should be wide enough to cover your bra straps.

  • If, like most apples, you have great legs, short skirts are in order. If you’re in the office, the shortest your skirt should be is just above the knee. If you’re going out for a night on the town, go a little higher!

  • A-line skirts also work with your figure. Since they flare out from the waist, A-line skirts offer balance and proportion to your upper half.

  • If you don’t have much of a backside, and you want to give the illusion that you do, wear pants with back pockets. Your jeans should have a rise lower than your natural, wider waist. Don’t wear pants with pleated fronts, as that only makes your middle look larger.

    Don’t wear pants that are too tight, even if you have good legs, because that makes your top seem extra large. Remember, while you want to emphasize your better attributes, the challenge is to do so while also keeping your overall look in balance.

  • Go for longer jackets. Your jackets should be on the long side, never ending at waist level. Make sure they come down to your hips to create a long, lean line right over your waist and tummy area. And opt for single- breasted jackets that you can keep unbuttoned. A double-breasted blazer that needs to be buttoned to look right only makes you look larger on top.

  • Opt for drop waists. A dress or top with a drop waist (that narrows down at the point of your hips instead of your true waist) bypasses any constricting fabric around the tummy area and makes your torso appear longer and leaner overall.

When making a purchase, hold it up to a mirror first BEFORE you take it into the dressing room and ask yourself; "Do I look like my Mother or my Grandmother in this"?  If the answer comes anywhere close to yes, PUT IT BACK!

 

If you don't have any young women in your life to give some guidance, may I suggest visiting a few younger popular stores like J. Crew or Anthropology or Buckle just to give you some ideas of how to put things together and what is "hip" and then age it appropriately.

A big "no no" is to mistake leggin's and jeggin's for pants.  All tops and must cover our lady lumps by at least 3 to 4 inches!!

If you are going to wear tops that reveal your shoulders, make sure that your shoulders are larger than your hips, otherwise you just don't look right!            

Here are a few fashion suggestions for to "hip" up your look!

      Great top for hiding flaws

 Keep it simple & classic showing

             off your best features!

 

 Invest in a jean jacket.  You can dress it up or down.
