What’s in for Winter 2010!
It’s that time to bundle up! For some of you it means a sweater and light jacket…For others…well, we have to go for the whole kit and caboodle…Coat…Scarf… Gloves…Hat…and of course a great Boot!
Winter season often brings about more clothes and layers! Unfortunately, that results in some of us looking larger, and bulkier! I think we all can agree...this certainly isn’t our goal! Here are some tips to help you compliment your figure, as well as look sleek and stylish in the brisk weather.
Ladies…now listen carefully! With these tips some may work better for your silhouette than others…IT IS OKAY! That’s what makes us and style so unique…So figure out what works for you…mix and match, have fun and try new things. So here we go!
Outerwear: For our lighter weather wanderers…there is the classic blazer. Always go with a structured fit that contours towards your torso. This will give you a sliming waistline. Should you need something warmer…grab the heavier military blazer or the cape coat which is ever so adorable…this is a fashionable way to stay warm and have a versatile look. If you need to fight off the whipping wind, stacking snow, and freezing rain…you would look amazing in the worst weather with a chic modern short trench or pea coat! There are so many lengths and designs from which to choose. Have fun with print; try a scarlet red or simply go classic with black, gray or nude. With any of these styles you can dress them up or down with your accessories.
The Core Ensemble: Go for the Cowl Neck! Cowl neck sweaters are a fashion staple in my opinion! You can wear them with jeans and a wide waist belt…or utilize those many pairs of leggings and wear a great boot. Now should you pull out the leggings make sure this look flatters your figure. If you are curvier, throw a tank top under your sweater to extend the length at least below your rear, this way it best compliments. If you are slimmer go for a cowl neck that is not too bulky, we don’t want to lose your figure in the knit. Should you choose jeans or slacks no matter the size make sure they are fitted. We are made to have shape, a slim fit in the appropriate size or go bigger and have them tailored to the perfect fit.
What would our outfit be without a great shoe!!!....The shoe boot, knee boot and over the knee boot are amazing! Try rocking animal prints or fun colors that are bold or shiny, but, I will warn you not to overdo it…be tasteful! We want to look trendy not busy!
Accessories are the key! For classy go pearls, edgy swing the stones and bangles, for statements…YES...go for the diamonds and rhinestones, but again in moderation…we don’t need rings on every finger, one ring on each hand is sufficient. If you go with a dramatic necklace go easy with the earrings…if you are sporting the hottest earrings…skip on the necklace. If you wear a wide waist belt, make sure the width accentuates your waist where you like. Always take in consideration our shape, size, and height and find the pieces that express your personality best!
Just a few tips to make your look scream…YES... I am “Fierce”! Yes that gleaming confidence that we know we look good!
Good Luck Ladies!
