Must Haves
Here is a list of must haves: they. (at
least in my mind) are
an essential part of a versitile wardrobe.
T-Shirt Bra
Fashion Tip: T-Shirt Bras
t-shirt bra From what I've been told by the ladies I worked with at
Nordstrom and some of the lingerie reps, t-shirt bras are an American
phenomenon. We Americans don't like to show our bra or panty lines.
Well I've thought about why and my opinion would be a long winded
explanation of sexual repression and womens uncomfortableness with
their bodies...bla bla bla, but that would be a wastes of your time and
just an opinion. Kinda like noses we all have them.
There is however something to be said for a bra that gives a really
smooth finished and I have to say "clean" look.
But, before you go out and a buy a bra, get fit. All bras very greatly
from manufacturer to manufacturer. So Calvin Klein, DKNY, and La Perla
will fit entirely different from Wacoal, Chantelle and Freya. In fact
the only thing I could find the same about the different lines
sometimes was they had cups and straps, because everything was
different.
Don't just go anywhere to get fit, go to the experts. I am partial to
Nordy's (Nordstrom) because I worked in the lingerie department for a
while at the flagship store. The women there are well trained and
caring professionals.
In truth I'm sure there other companies that also do an extremely good
job,but beware... not all fitters are created equal. I have refit women
who have gone elsewhere. The fit was so bad they're bra would have fit
their kneecaps better then their breasts
So a couple of quick fashion tips while I'm on the subject of
getting fit. Have someone you are comfortable with. Someone
experienced, someone whose age you feel good about. Someone who
listens. Whatever you do the bra must be comfortable.

The LBD
The little black dress is chameleon like, and an essential part of any
woman’s wardrobe. Coco Chanel is credited for the creation of the
little black dress.
It's true she was in love with black and she did help popularize a
version of the little black dress in 1926 when she came out with a
simple black jersey dress, but many designers had their own version of
the little black dress. MORE....
A Black Pair of High
Heels
Classic womens shoes have got to be high
heels. High heels between (1-1/2" to 3" high): although traditionally a
pump is an
excellent choice, you can choose a close toed, closed heeled shoe,
pumps these days can be opened toed and opened heeled. MORE...
Ray Bans: Classic, Timless, the coolest sunglasses
around.

Fashion Tip:
T-Shirts
T-shirts: An American
classic; pair them with jeans, an evening skirt a
suit or khakis. What ever you do have a half dozen or so available.
No matter what your
taste, t-shirts are a wardrobe staple. So what to
buy?
I vacillate between the classic men's Hanes™, you know the kind
that comes in a three pack Or, a finely made French t- shirt by
Majestic™ Or maybe one of the t-shirts that can be had for $10 or less
at discount stores.I think all have their
place.
Vince
, Majestic™ and Donna Karan tee's are
the kind you can pair with suits. The cotton is
ultra soft and if you buy a long-sleeved one the sleeves are extra
long.
Hanes™ is great for
wearing with jeans and slacks, particularly the
more masculine kind.
Of course the
inexpensive kind of t-shirt from places like Target™ are
great but, they almost always run a tad small and the necks give out on
them in a season

t-shirts they re a must have for your wardrobe. |
The simple shape of Hoop
earrings are a must have, whether they are silver or
gold are
the ultimate classic earrings. If you only had one pair of earrings,
hoops would have to be the obvious choice. Hoop earrings represent the
sacred circle. The circle symbolizes wholeness,constant change,
feminine energy and so much more. Ancient people have worshiped this
symbol since they first laid eyes on the sun and moon. They've created
dream catchers, mandalas and rings in hopes of having some of the power
associated with this symbol |
Hosery
There's a vast array of hosiery on the market and it can be
overwhelming trying to pick out the right pair. Here's the rule of
thumb:
Generally you match the color with your shoes and the weight and
texture with your clothing. The heavier and
more textured the clothes
the more opaque the hose |
