Tone on Tone

Image Yes.. I said “tone on tone”. It has become extremely fashionable to wear different tones of the same color all together. For instance, women, you may wear a light gray blouse with charcoal color pants and slate grey shoes. I promise it will look fabulous! For men, you may wear a navy button down under a faded blue pullover and jeans. Now carry the tone on tone a little farther and wear striped blue socks with loafers or oxfords. Watch out Adam  Levine.. You’ve got competition. Take my advice, give it a try and you won’t regret it. 

 

Cropping into Spring

It’s that time again.. SPRING! A personal favorite of mine is to wear crop jeans in the spring because it’s cool enough to wear during the day, yet, warm enough to wear in the evening. This is such a cute style but is done poorly many times so I want to show you the proper way to wear these crop pants. For women, you want the cuff on your jeans to be about one inch in width, give or take a little. Roll them just enough to come to the bend of your ankle. You don’t want the jeans to be to “bunchy”, but also don’t want them to look like you’re “flooding”. Cropping jeans this way extends and slims the legs.. YAY! Now for men it is a different story, if a man is going to roll his jeans it has to be done perfect or people will stare. Like the women, roll your jeans about one inch in width but instead of coming to the bend of the ankle, you want them to come just above the floor. Show about an inch of shoe under the jeans. If a man can roll his jeans this way, he is a keeper. Crop jeans are the best jeans.

“How many bracelets do I wear?” This is a question that is asked so often and no one really knows an answer. You don’t want to look like “Jezebel” with a million and one bangles but do want the bracelets to be noticeable. It is simple really…1,3,5. Always use an odd number of bracelets on each arm and you shall be set for perfection. Two, four, or six bracelets look too “stacky”..or should we use the word “tacky”. When wearing the odd number of bracelets, it breaks them up a bit and makes the bracelets more noticeable. Also, the odd number lengthens the arms instead of making them look squatty because lets face it, no one prefers squatty. Let’s make this a rule… a life rule.
