Bargain Styling

How many times have you looked in your closet that’s full of clothes and said to yourself - I have nothing to wear.

It’s a common feeling.

But keep these helpful hints in mind when shopping:

Doubt means don’t – If you’re not totally sure about it, don’t buy it or it’s going to be another shirt or dress hanging in your closet that you don’t wear.

Buy clothes that you look and feel great in. — Don’t buy clothes that already need major alterations. Pant hems are a total exception, but just because it’s on clearance does not mean it’s a steal. You’re going to have to get it altered, it may never fit right and you’ll never wear it.

Here’s even more things to thing about when you have nothing to wear and you really ought to be thinking quality over quantity. (more…)

It seems dear ‘ol Tar-Jay went to the next level and turned OLD NAVY’s shortalls/dungarees into a………….. oh let me hold onto my excitement a little bit longer………………SKIRTALL.

OK, one last opine from me about these blasted things. I mean it’s probably OK for gardening or painting. Albeit it’ll never grace my wardrobe, I can understand other women wearing it for such purposes. For me, I’d rather not see it on grown up women wearing it while out grocery shopping or whatever errands you need to be doing. Or when you’re out of your house. But that’s just me.

Another note, if you cut the bottom part from the back, you could use it as an apron. Hardy Har Har!

Thanks Phisch for the heads up .

So, do you want to know what’s invading the Hollywood fashion these days? The Commando style is still rampant but it seems High-Waisted look is as well. I understand like any fashionista alive that fashion is a cycle. ’60’s inspired dresses are once again the rage. I love it. But high-waisted jeans? Not so much. Scratch that, NOT AT ALL.

I’m not going to tell people what to wear, well I’m going to try anyway but this is another classic example of why we shouldn’t copy celebrities. Don’t swallow everything that Jessica Simpson practically shoves in your throat. Granted Ciara and Mischa Barton actually looked kinda decent, you still wouldn’t catch me dead in those pants.

Hey if you think you’d look good in ‘em or you’re going to look oh so fashionably trendy, go right ahead. But not for me. No Thanks. I’ll stick with MY own style. Unfortunately for the designers who suddenly brought it to life, I wouldn’t be following this trend. Even if for some miraculous reason I could afford it.
