Curtain Lady

Well, my friends, fall is right around the corner and in my opinion this is THE season to show your style. However, it is also the season to see curtain ladies. You all know what I am talking about… the ladies that throw on comfy pants with a long, loose top underneath the frilly cardigan and yada.. yada.. yada. Basically these women look like they got twisted up in their curtains before leaving the house, hints the name “curtain ladies”. While they may think this covers their bodies and makes them look thinner, it does just the opposite. All these fabrics piled on one another widens the ladies and isn’t appealing. This isn’t to downgrade the women who wants to dress like this but I am only trying to help. Instead of throwing on more loose layers, divide it up… loose pants with a more tailored top or skinny pants with a loose, comfy blouse. One of the newest ‘in things’ is to wear a tunic underneath a cropper (loose crop top).. this cuts off the waistline a bit just to create a flattering look.  It IS possible to be comfortable and cute.

Making Spring Happen

What in the world do you wear when it is 35 degrees in March?! Living in the South with this bipolar weather can be difficult when trying to dress for spring yet, stay warm. I am going to give you a few pointers on how to accomplish this extremely difficult task. One thing I like to do is wear a neutral colored shirt that I may have hanging in my closet for winter and put it on with a pair of colored pants. For example, a grey long sleeve blouse with orchid pants and grey flats to bring the colors together. If you’re totally afraid of the colored pants then wear jeans with a spring top and throw on a cardigan. With more dressy attire you can always pair the cute spring dress you found and couldn’t resist with a pair of warm colored leggings and blazer. Also, don’t run away from the bright pink flats that you could pair with a winter outfit because those are so useful. Hopefully you’ve gotten at least one tip from me that you can apply to your spring wardrobe. Good luck!
