Common Fashion Blunders
Posted by admin in Fashion Blunders on November 14, 2011
Why do some of the renowned celebrities make fashion blunders? Fashion blunders are common and visible in every walk of life and hey, whilst you are reading this, you might even belong to the same group. Having the best look does not always mean buying branded outfits and throwing on all the accessories you lay your hands on! You can make a powerful fashion statement with a simple silhouette and a teardrop pendant as well. All of us by now must have had our share of common fashion blunders and witnessed many such specimens who claim to be fashionable. So, how does one avoid common fashion blunders in our everyday life? There are simple ways to go about this and one must consider every element that would help to complete the right look.
Common Fashion Blunders and ways to avoid them:
If that red-hot outfit looked awesome in the window display, let it remain there! Do not buy colors that do not flatter your skin tone. Bright colors and pale colors need to merge well with your skin, sometimes wearing bright outfits can give a wrong impression about your personality whereas wearing pale or light colors can make you look washed out in totality.
So skin is in and all that jazz! Well, if you can carry off that look, then go ahead and flaunt your body! Too much skin can really not accentuate your looks. OK, so that halter was designer wear and a backless top is definitely in vogue but maybe it may not really suit just about everybody. One of the things I have personally seen in most parties are women flaunting too much skin with their outfits being totally mismatched in every possible way. A simple example that comes to my mind is pairing a really short skirt with a skimpy top like a tube top or even a short hugging piece. A better way out would be to combine the short skirt with a figure hugging, sequined top that covers the mid riff area. Combine this with knee high boots to complete the look. Even if you have the most fabulous body any girl would give an arm and leg for, wearing an unbalanced and poorly coordinated outfit can actually ruin the look for you. If you must show skin, try to keep it subtle, wear a long skirt with a slit that goes all the way to the thighs or team a halter top that highlights your toned arms with great fitting jeans.

Have you often gone shopping and felt nothing ever fitted your body or if it did, it did not really flatter you? Well, I am sure it must have happened at some point in your life. Somehow, ‘the beautiful shift dress looked beautiful only on the mannequin’… these and many such other situations make shopping a stressful activity for many. However, not many of us realize one can have a great time shopping if done wisely. Why buy clothing which does not enhance the personality and follow baseless trends? Rather, opt for fashionable clothing that boosts your confidence and beautifies your appearance. A perfect fit is more important than shopping for designer clothing. The secret of dressing to kill lies in picking the right clothing gear and teaming it with other clothing items that blend well.
Before noting down fashion tips for the body shape, we need to learn the basic and common body shapes amongst women.
Pear Shape: Women who belong to this category have a narrow upper body with a heavier bottom and thighs.

Color Combinations for Clothes
Posted by admin in Color Clothes on November 12, 2011
It’s a well-known fact that summers are for bright and “happy” colors and summer clothes and winters are for “soft and soothing” colors. So we all know which colors would go in the categories. But, the dilemma tends to present itself when it is time to put two and two together. I mean, the difficulty seems to be in combining two colors to make color schemes that would create a presentable ensemble. Besides presentable, the color combinations for clothes should actually look good!
Color Combinations for Clothes and Advice for Women
Women need to make sure that they keep their skin color and body type in mind before selecting color combinations for their clothing. Like if you have a dark skin tone, you need to make sure that you pair a bright color with a dull color to sober down the impact. In case you are fair skinned, you need to pair up a dull color with a white or a black; this will give you a more defined look. However, you need to make sure you stick to the colors of the season. You will not be implicated if you don’t, but you might end up feeling a tad out of place. Another thing for the women to remember is to avoid wearing bright colored pants under all circumstances. Pants need to be conservatively colored. That will ensure that the rest of your ensemble stays in place. More so, with a traditionally colored pant, you can get away with wearing a radical shirt color combination, as well. It stabilized the ensemble and makes you look gorgeous.
Color combinations for dresses are a little easier to come up with. Like a baby pink would go wonderfully with browns and mint green. You could team it up with gray and turquoise as well. On the other hand, a dark pink goes well with yellows, lime green and browns as well. The all time favorite, cherry red, looks to die for with blues, pale orange and pale yellow. Do not take bright yellow with it, you can ruin your ensemble that way. With a lemon yellow, you could throw on browns, blues and grays. As such, always put the colors together and see if they team up well. Avoid experimenting with your color combination. Read the rest of this entry »
