Telltale Signs

keysObservant people know that you can tell a lot about a person by the products they buy and the clothing they wear. I’m not saying you should go against the old adage of never judging a book by its cover, but a person’s purchasing decisions often reflect something of their basic worldview. Purchasing womens designer fashion certainly says something about the person-whether it’s that they are snooty or simply like nice clothing is up for you to determine. Even people who seem to have a lack of style and appreciation for fashion reflect that negation of their fashion through their clothing.

Another item that often gives insight into a person’s lifestyle is their keys. Everyone knows that the key chain depicts something that has some level of significance to the person, but the number of keys is also telling. For example, when I was in college, I only had two keys on my key chain, but now that I am married with kids, my ring is almost full.

Summer is the season for dresses, spaghetti straps and other light garments that showoff a little more skin. But there’s nothing more unattractive then dingy white bra straps showing from underneath your womens tank tops. Brown bra washed brastraps that were once white is about as gross as chipped red nail polish on dirty, bitten fingernails. So if you’re into that look, don’t worry about reading any further. But if you prefer things on the cleaner side, here’s what you need to do to keep those bras sparkling:

1.) Make sure the bra’s hooks are fastened before you start washing. This way they won’t snag on any other clothes.
2.) Use cool water and mild detergent for delicate fabrics.
3.) If you choose to machine wash, place your bra in a lingerie bag.
4.) Select the delicate cycle using cool water on your washing machine.
5.) Air dry bra after washing.

Cheers To Summer Fashions!

Don’t Get Caught In the Rain

inrainAs a native of the Pacific Northwest, I understand how important it is to own good quality outdoor women’s clothing. Because this area gets so much rain and even some snow in the winter, it’s important to have a good waterproof, hooded coat with a removable lining. These types of coats can also double as ski coats during the winter. Rain boots are also a needed supply for Northwest living.

One of my friends recently moved to Seattle from Los Angeles, and she definitely wasn’t prepared for the change in weather. She arrived in June, and apparently she expected to wear short shorts and flip flops all summer. She was rudely awakened when it rained for about two weeks straight, and she had to wear pants and a jacket. I always tell everyone don’t expect a month here when you won’t have to wear your coat and rain boots sometime.

Fashion That Will Never Go Out of Style

Fashion is a world of trends and fads, and it can be difficult to keep up with everything. So if you want to avoid some of those purchases that result in slapped foreheads and overflowing closets, stick to classic women’s clothing and accessory choices. The following are a few of these classic choices that every fashionista should have in her closet.-Little black dress. It might be a cliché, but at least it’s a fashionable cliché. Every woman should have this staple for the simple reason that it’s a blank canvas. Worn with different shoes, jewelry, and jackets, it’s a continually fresh and fashionable choice.

-Pearl necklace. If you’re confused about what makes a classic fashion item, just look at photos of what Jackie O used to wear. Even though those styles were donned in the 60s and 70s, they are still relevant today. And what was one of her signature looks? You guessed it-the pearl necklace.

-Tailored trench coat. Even though the current runways are filled with voluminous bubble skirts and flowing tops, this look will never usurp the flattering and classic look of a nicely structured and perfectly tailored coat. Just ask Burberry or Marc Jacobs.

The world of women’s fashion can be a tricky place to navigate. There’s an entire laundry list of rules, but they are all simply “understood.” There’s no rule book that explains all the ins and outs of fashion, and there never will be. Why? Because the rules are constantly changing.

The color red has proved particularly tricky for people to figure out in the past. When worn around Valentine’s Day or Christmas, the color can seem gimmicky. Still, it’s a wonderfully deep and rich color that can add a lot to your autumn and winter wardrobe. So how do you wear red without looking like you’re in a holiday-themed costume?

The key is to make it understated and luxurious. A red sweater-especially anything with designs like autumn leaves or Santa’s reindeer-can seem tacky. But if you wear a cowl neck sweater in red cashmere with pinstripe black slacks, that’s an entirely different feel.
