Theyskens' Theory 'Smuta' Fluted Skirt

The color grey is essential to fall this season.  It has become the black.  You will see every hue and luxe shade of this fabulous color trend.  When it’s paired with the maxi skirt, it’s called F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S!  The maxi has become a mainstay of women’s lives.  When wearing a maxi skirt, most women don’t have issues however you can have the occasional thigh challenge or waist control situations that occur.

A simple pair of pant liners can ease your mind and also add warmth if you live in a cooler climate.  Since they are Capri length, you never have to worry about them showing underneath.  Add your favorite boot or sandal/boot and call you a style icon.  Gorgeous!

 

Ruffle Love – Fit Focus

Posted on July 26, 2011 in Body Confidence,Shapewear Solutions

Milly Strapless Rosette Minidress

Have you ever looked at something on the hangar and said, how do I wear that?  It’s common for most of us divas.  The ruffle trend continues to be a major fashion hit.  When it comes to the bottom half of the trend, on skirts, it can become a challenge.  Even if your frame is petite, suddenly the ruffle adds dimension and you become “enlarged”.  Can we say, not flattering! How do you combat this effect when you want to wear the trend?

Body Wrap 3909511

A shapewear slip is your ideal companion for rocking the short ruffle dress.  If you’re full figure, the same applies or try one with legs for thigh issues.  Regardless of your body type, don’t be afraid of the trend.

 

I Dare You! Looking sensational in Asymmetrical

Posted on July 21, 2011 in Body Confidence,Bras We Love

T Tahari "Nadine"

Are you scared to wear asymmetrical fashions?  An astounding 5 out of 10 women would probably raise their hands.  It’s not easy plus add in all the body image issues that come up for us.  OMG my big arms, what about the bra strap issue?  Ironically, one shoulder fashions actually help to make you look sleek.  The focus on the one shoulder creates a shapely illusion.  By having the neck line cut in half, you tend to create a natural curve line on the frame (enhances what you have).

Once you add in a proper fitting bra and or shapewear, you have customized your entire figure.  Now is the time to break out for summer.  I dare you!

Since the Oscars™ Cobalt Blue has become “The” color of spring and summer.  If you’re looking for the WOW factor, get ready to go blue.  It’s all about the short dress right now and what better way to wear this trend.  Even better, designers are doing reversible collections that allow you to have multiple use and solutions with your dress.  This is fashionista to the max!  That’s right you can take a v-neck dress and move it to the front or back!   If you’re ready for another level, try matching your intimates to the trend.

Trend: The Tailored Shirt Reinvented

Posted on July 15, 2011 in Shapewear Solutions

Foxcroft Dot Print Shirt

Nothing feels better than a clean, crisp oxford shirt in the summer.  It’ a favorite of most women for professional dress due to the style and structure.  You can feel “dressed” instantly when you go to the office without much fanfare.  The new way to wear an oxford has changed.  Instead of the normal long sleeve version, try a ¾ sleeve for versatility and more of a fashion edge.

The Capri Jean is on the top of everyone’s must have lists with the ballet flat or platform sandal.   You now have a casual elegance look for summer.  The tailored shirt is always a hit!

Summer Trends – Sheer Bliss, “The Statement Blouse”

Posted on July 13, 2011 in Body Confidence,Camisoles

Lauren by Ralph Lauren Print Silk Blouse

The focus remains on the top half this season with vibrant and colorful sheer blouses that take your breath away.   It’s the ultimate Style Fit Solution.  Literally, you can open up your closet and reinvent your wardrobe with three or four statement blouses instantly!

If you want to wear it, layering pieces are essential.  The camisole is your friend from two perspectives.  You want to wear it to layer and or add an element of trend underneath.   Instead of just white or nude, go with a new neutral like grey to give drama and draw attention to the details of the top.  This is a must have for sure.

 

The Next Level Tank Top

Posted on July 8, 2011 in Body Confidence,Shapewear Solutions

Remain Sleeveless Cowl Neck Tank

The style of the season is all about details, softness and a close fit (no matter your size).  The blouse has stepped into center stage with dramatic details.

Hanky Panky 404662

The cowl or shawl neckline is one of my favorites.  If you’re looking to reinvent your wardrobe super fast, build an effortless collection of tanks that go from work to dinner with a friend in a second.    Intimate apparel can also do double duty as fashionista wear.  A great fitting contour bra or convertible will put the final touch on sensational you.

If you’re feeling shy about your challenge spots in the mid section, add a high waist shaper brief to the mix and it’s called magic…   Love it, and so will you!

 

Whimsical, Fluid, Fashion for Work

Posted on July 5, 2011 in Body Confidence,Camisoles

Nanette Lepore

In all the style magazines, the new hit of contemporary dressing is the casual and comfortable ”layered and draped” look.  Its part vintage and classic rolled into one.  One of the great aspects of the trend is that it flatters most women with ease. The wide leg pant is a must have to compliment your ensemble if your rocking a blouse.  I encourage you to return to the camisole slip that was silky and elegant to put that wow factor on your outfit.  This has become a forgotten item for most women. It’s no longer considered a ”slip” but an inner and outerwear style solution.   This is elegance defined!

Farr West 514

Get mileage out of your outfit by mixing each item with your existing wardrobe collection.  Take the pants and add a cardigan sweater, belt it with the silky camisole underneath and you have another look.  The blouse can be paired with a pencil skirt or the hottest trend currently, shorts with heels.  A very stylish girl!

You can wear it for work or leisure.   Today’s entrepreneur woman needs flexibility and versatility.  Beautiful…

Red Hot and Sizzling – The Color of Summer

Posted on July 1, 2011 in Uncategorized

Charlie Jade 'Marie' Silk Dress

Red is a color of confidence for any woman. A red dress makes a major statement when worn. You could be the silent type, but when you put on the color red appear to become larger than life. It’s a vibrant, passionate and luscious color that makes you feel alive! This is the summer of red.

Lilly of France 2131728

As we go into the Fourth of July holiday, give it a whirl in your wardrobe. I dare you to wear red underneath as well. This can be another way to embrace the trend if your not comfortable wearing on the outside. I believe women should build a wardrobe of bodywear that includes color. A little peek-a-boo underneath a sheer blouse is another way red is being worn. Go sexy, go red!
