The Perfect Purse

March 16, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Purses were created to be functional, to hold the things a woman needs to take along with her when she is out and about.  A place to keep everything in its place, with the convenience of knowing that it is all in one place and within arm’s reach.  It was a marvelous invention.  The purse has however, become the fashion statement of the ages.  Many many designers are making many, many millions creating new, unusual and different designs for purses the world over.  If a movie star is photographed with a clutch, the stores are sold out of it within 24 hours and the orders for it are backed up for months.  Celebrity fashion fuels the buying habits of the common man, or in this case, woman.

We all have that longing to be Angelina on the arm of Brad, or Jennifer or Kourtney out for a night on the town.  We feel that if we emulate these celebrities by obtaining an article of their clothing, we can step into their shoes, even if for just a little while.  We cannot walk around every day in ball gowns, we cannot begin to afford real Jimmy Choo shoes, so the purse becomes the easiest attainable accessory.

It also has the distinction of having enough different sizes, colors and fashions for anyone to make it their own statement.  You may be particularly fond of a certain designer, or perhaps it is a large purse you are looking for.  Maybe you need something functional, with a lot of space and pockets for organizing all your items.  Heck, buy them all.  Woman have been known to reserve entire closets just for their purse collections.  We borrow, exchange, recycle, trade, sell, immerse ourselves in purse etiquette.  At the end of the day, women love all of their purses.  They will tell you that each and every one says something about them.

Time To Put Away The Turtlenecks

March 9, 2011 by Leave a Comment

The groundhog did not see his shadow, making spring literally days away.  The weather is playing tricks on us, teasing us with some summer-like weather one day and less than twenty four hours later, inches of snow and back to the boots and heavy coats.  Welcome to the transition zone, the change of seasons.  The changes outside are obvious, the snow shovels and plows are disappearing, some small budding green foliage is starting to appear.  The cars appear cleaner and the coats are getting thinner.  It is definitely the change of the season.

Spring is a favorite time for the fashion world.  As winter comes to a close, we move from bulky, heavy warm clothes to lighter fabrics and sweaters quickly replace heavy coats.  Colors become brighter, shirt sleeves are shorter and pants are replaced by skirts and shorts.  People have been in the gym so as to show off their new waistlines which have been hidden for months by bulky sweatshirts and heavier pants.  Turtlenecks are replaced by plunging necklines, bulky sweaters are replaced by camisole tops and lightweight blouses.

Spring is the time to put away the lined boots, although there are some designer boots that are fashionable year round.  Fashionable shoes with heels from pumps to stilettos begin to appear on the street.  Gloves are gone for the season and purses are coming out in full color regalia.  Even the men put away the overcoats.  Heavy suits give way to colored golf shirts and lightweight khaki trousers.  Spring is here, enjoy the change of fashion seasons.

Perfect Day To Night Dressing – Accessories, Perfumes And Lots Of Confidence

February 23, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Day to night dressing is not all about clothes alone. You cannot change your appearance by simply changing a top or the skirt. You will also have to pay equal attention to accessories. Check out the following accessories

  • formal golden diamond earrings
  • snazzy plastic or metal funky earrings for party
  • boring necklace at office
  • trendy and cool chains on your neck for the pub
  • formal watch on your wrist
  • digital watch combined with paint on tattoo

there are many ways to spice up your appearance. It would not be incorrect to say that combining all these accessories smartly can help you divert attention completely from the clothes that you are wearing.

Makeup is important. If you are wearing cheerful clothes, you need to look cheerful as well. Otherwise, you will end up presenting a negative image in front of your friends and colleagues at the pub.

There may be times when you have to go overboard to maintain the fashionable look. A purple or violet colored lipstick may not work for you at all times but choosing a funky accessory or makeup item and using it with lots of confidence can present a new facet of your personality to others. Do not hesitate to experiment when trying to find your day to night dressing pattern.

Make smart use of perfumes. People will remember the perfume that you use at work and will conclude that you still look as if you are in your office simply because you smell the same.

On the other hand, going in for a completely different type of perfume and using it liberally can help you make a huge difference. Opt for light florals for work and opt for heavier perfumes in the evening so that the smell of the perfume used earlier is completely masked.

Day to night dressing is all about confidence. At the end of the day, you are trying to find a balance between two forms of dressing. A certain level of hesitation is natural. However, learn to be comfortable with your look to enjoy it.

Night To Day Dressing – The Next Big Fashion Trend For Working Individuals

February 21, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Day to night dressing is fast becoming yesterday’s fashion. The latest in the world of fashion is night to day dressing. The former concept try to convert your formal attire into one that will be suitable for informal occasions as well. On the other hand, night to day dressing involves altering your casual attire in such a manner that it is suitable for formal occasions. At first thought, this approach may seem un-viable. However, it is important to remember that the level of formality required in clothes and appearance is no longer as strict as it was in the past. Today, people have adopted a functional approach towards  clothes. Of course, this does not mean you can walk in to a board meeting wearing bloopers and shorts. However, you certainly will be permitted to experiment and have sport a new and unconventional look as long as you are good in your job.

The second reason why night to day dressing will work is that informal wear is always functional and complements the appearance and personality of the individual. Bright colors, patterns, good fit and smart use of accessories-these are just some of the characteristics of casual wear. Wearing such clothes to your office is certainly going to help you improve the atmosphere around you.

Before you think of switching over to night to day dressing, always remember that the party wear is always expensive as compared to formal wear. Formal clothing is invariably used in closed and controlled environments. That is not the case with party wear.

Wearing clothes that are suitable for party on a practically daily basis can lead to heavy expenditure. While this is a new fashion trend, you never know how expensive it will turn out. Hence, do not be in a hurry to get rid of day to night dressing fashion trends. Take it slow for maximum benefits.

Day To Night Dressing – Be Careful To Avoid Ending Up With A ‘Nothing’ Attire

February 19, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Day to night dressing has become pretty much the norm for those who want to stay fashionable without spending a lot of money in the process. However, it is important to bear in mind that there are certain disadvantages involved.

For starters, you can easily get muddled up and end up choosing a dress or attire that is neither formal nor casual. The basic rule of day to night dressing is to stick to formal and casual clothes and try to use them combined for maximum benefits. A formal shirt that has been rolled up to the sleeves and worn with a casual pair of jeans and informal shoes will help the individual give a casual look.

However, it is important that the formal shirt is absolutely formal and the casual accessories are completely casual. Ignore this and you will end up with a dress that seems inappropriate for formal and casual occasions.

Secondly, you will have to learn to maintain your clothes better. A formal shirt that is not put to rough and tough use can last for very long time with bad maintenance. However, if you are going to party or participate in sporting activities in the same shirt, you will have to learn to take better care. The number of hours of usage will automatically increase.

You will need sufficient space to refresh yourself and change your clothes. If you do not have this space, you will have no option but to revert back to the original trend.

Finally, day to night dressing can help you save money but can leave you in a difficult position if you don’t get the combinations right.

Wearing a white formal shirt with green jeans and blue shoes can make you look like a joker. It is advisable to make use of the internet to check out different tips related to this concept before proceeding.

Following Fashion Trends – Tips To Avoid Obsolete Trends

February 12, 2011 by Leave a Comment

Do you feel that you always grab hold of the tail of any fashion trend? Do you want to identify a future perspective trend before it becomes obsolete? Well, you must understand the 18 month rule related to seasonal fashion trends. The entire process of formulating a fashion trend and executing it and offering products on the shop floor takes about 18 months. The trends that are hyped in news and fashion newsletters will hit the street in the next one and a half years.

This may seem like a long time but you must understand that the entire process of creating the idea and converting into a product requires a lot of effort. Even then, fashion designers who are just beginning in the industry find it next to impossible to get all the tasks completed within 18 months.

Does this mean you should follow the 18 month rule as a scientific role? Certainly not. Fashion trends depend on people, their likes and dislikes. Culture and society also makes a huge impact on fashion trends. Today, America is still struggling with the recession and is yet to reach its old levels of financial security. Once that happens, there may be a huge demand for better fashion products and this may lead to the rapid evolvement of another trend.

However, just keep track of the total number of months a fashion trend has been around. This will help you judge whether you are jumping on to the bandwagon at the right moment or whether you should wait a few months and invest in other trends. The knowledge of this rule can help you avoid looking obsolete and outdated as far as fashion trends are concerned
