Stage Style

Monday, December 26th, 2011

 Merry Christmas, Fashionistas!  On stage, it is tricky to see super intricate details. That’s why you should wear something sparkly, shiny, or printed to be seen. But make sure not to go overboard. Make sure to keep in mind my rule of feature focus. 

Hot Trend 1: Colored Jeans

Saturday, November 26th, 2011

So I went to Marshalls today and got hot pink skinny jeans for 16.99! They are edgy, cool, and so hot now! If you are a ruler, look for zipperless jeggings. If you’re curvy, like me, look for jeans with a more denim feel and zippers. (Fab Girl’s Tip: Don’t spend much. They’re not a basic you will wear every day, like normal skinnies.)

A Blast from the Past

So Long, low rise! Higher waist jeans are burning up the runways, along with tie-dye and slender silhouettes. Make sure you balance out a 70’s piece with a modern, hip, and trendy piece, like jeggings.

How to mix patterns and colors

Friday, November 11th, 2011
So you’re looking in your closet and wondering if you can wear that animal print cardi with your plaid skirt. Or your wine party dress with the teal clutch? It can be hard to mix prints and colors without looking like a rainbow threw up on you. Here are the rules.
  1. Complimentary colors are colors opposite each other on the color wheel. (green and magenta, blue and orange, purple and yellow.) They look good together, but in small doses. If you want to wear, say a yellow blouse and purple skinny jeans, make sure you stick with simple shapes and conservative necklines.
  2. Pattern mixing will always look wild, but you can do it well by doing small scale prints with more large ones.Pair a bright pattern with a neutral print. Above all, make sure they are different enough to offer variety,but alike enough to have a focal point.

Have fun mixing!
