A Ladies Wardrobe Essentials......Must Haves
Sun Glasses
Every
woman needs at least one pair of great sunglasses, and great sunglasses does
not equal expensive sunglasses.
Sunglasses protect your eyes from glare and from sun damage. A large pair is
good because they will also protect the skin around your eyes from the
elements. Sunglasses are far more chic than squinting, and they pull an outfit
together. Somehow that bit of mystery does really add to one's appeal! I have
written more about finding flattering sunglasses.
The LIttle Black Dress
This
is a classic, simple cut that would be appropriate for any season, in an
easy-care, versatile fabric. One would look for a dress in crepe, silk, acetate, matte jersey, gabardine or something similar in weight .
This dress will last you for years and years of special
occasions..It will be never be a fashion no,no.... right for any and all occasions so if you don't have yourself one of this you better rush to the stores and get one .And you don't have to worry they come in different styles so yo can have what you prefer.
A Pair of Black Heels.. .
These
shoes should be able to take you from the boardroom to the ballroom. Leather,
basic soft leather is the most versatile, and the easiest to maintain season to
season. A simple heel and at least 4 inch and
a half of heel will be stylish for years to come. forgo
adornments; they only age a shoe, and make it more memorable and less
versatile.
A Trendy Fitting Blazer.
Nothing
pulls basics together and makes an outfit better than a blazer.
When
it's fun, funky, and "trendy," it takes basics to the next level and adds
your personality to your wardrobe.
Make
sure this blazer fits well - even if you are tall if you have a short waist you
may want to look at petites. Consider a tailor for a true custom fit. Unlined blazers are more forgiving to curvy shapes, adding less bulk and adding a bit
of give. The blazer should button comfortably across your body and not bind in any place. When you go to try it on, try it with a
shell the weight you plan on wearing with it in the future.
Fitting Jeans
Every closet must have at least one pair of
great fitting jeans.
I
mean a pair of FLATTERING jeans. Jeans can be stylish, comfortable and flattering.
It may take several attempts, but when you find the right jeans, both you and
your butt will know. A lower rise is more
flattering
to the belly. Having the waistband start just below the belly button
will flatten the tummy and lengthen the torso. This will also make the jeans
bind less when you sit. The leg should be slim, but not tight. A slight bootcut
leg opening is the most universally flattering. It lengthens the leg, looks
great with sneakers or boots or heels, and it's look won't be going
out of style for several years. The color should be a bit darker than
stonewashed. .
A slightly vintage look is always flattering, and will be less likely to show
wear as you wash and wear these jeans month after month. Darker means slimmer,
and more stylish. Toss your faded jeans, your high waisted jeans, your tapered
jeans.
Trench coat
A classic trench coat can be worn as
an all-weather coat and a dress (make sure the buttons of the coat extend to at
least three inches above your knee). Look for coats with a removable lining to
increase usage.
You
need a trench coat that will work for every other occasion in your life
A
single breasted style is classic and far more flattering on curvy and petite
figures. Look for simple styles - no epaulets, embellishments, decorative
pockets. There should never be pockets at the chest (makes the style more
casual and is not flattering to curvy shapes), the buttons should be the same
color as the coat. the collar should be very simple - traditional
As
for color, you have options. Black is always a wise choice as that it can dress
up or down, doesn't show dirt, and is timeless. Ivory is a beautiful option -
it also dresses up and down, is a fresh change from all the black and
can look quite elegant. Colors
can work depending on your sense of style.
To add a bit of personality to this basic, use accessories.
The Perfect t-shirts
Purchase three cotton/spandex shirts
in the following colors: black, white, and another, brighter color (that suits
you well). These shirts help stretch your closet and are perfect for layering
as well as wearing alone. The Perfect Fit stretch t-shirts are the best.These t-shirts come in different shades and colors and if you are into shade well you can have your pick also.
. The perfect ballet pump
Ballet pumps are an essential to every woman's summer wardrobe, More popular than ever, ballet pump shoes are everywhere and there is an amazing array of styles on the market. Choosing between all of these styles can be fun.take it upon yourself to get the most stylish, modern and beautiful ballet pumps.
Black Suit.
Purchase
at least one basic two to three button black jacket with either matching black
skirt or black pants.
A
suit is right for work, or even for a cocktail party.
This suit
shouldn't look like scuba wear, a bathing suit or a rain jacket. No more than
5% stretch. Look at the fabric of men's suits. It's a fabric that is smooth,
doesn't wrinkle easily, looks good . You want an
equivalent.
Khakis/Chinos/Brown Pants
A weekend staple, chino-style pants
add diversity to your outfits.gives you a slimming effect and comfortable and are easy to work with.
Kitenge or chitenge is an African garment similar to sarong, often worn by women wrapped around the chest or waist, over the head as a headscarf, or as a baby sling.
