Pulling Off Red Plaid
Plaid returns almost every fall. It's no exception this fall, when red is the it color. Why not pick a red plaid print then?
Picking a Flattering Polka Dot Print
Polka dots have never really been out of fashion, and they are particularly trendy this fall. So, it's time to invest in a polka dot blouse.
When it comes to polka dots, the bigger they are, the slimmer they will make you look. However, huge polka dots may look too exaggerated. Those about the size of US quarter dollar coins should be big enough, as shown in my photo.
Wide-leg Jeans with Side Slits for Sleekness
Late August is a good time of year to visit a grape-laden vineyard. It's also when to start thinking about transitional pieces, a category to which wide-leg jeans can belong.
A V-hem Top from Back-to-School Sales
Back-to-school sales are not just for kids. Adult women may be able to get good bargains from the junior department during this time of year. Stetchable junior T-shirts in particular can work for adult women.
A Pink Gingham Dress & a Matching Sun Hat for Barbiecore
Call me fashion forward. I bought this pink gingham midi dress last summer. Apparently, Tommy Hilfiger was ahead of the barbiecore game as well.
Minimize Your Waist While Donning a Maxi Dress
Maxi dresses are everywhere this summer. How can you make a maxi dress flatter your figure?
First, cinch your waist with a thick belt, one with a big bow at the center will work best, as the bow will draw attention to the center, making your waist appear narrower. Better yet, bows are on trend right now and will never go out of style.
More Modest Mermaidcore
Mermaidcore is one of this summer's hottest trends. However, if you are not confident about baring your midriff, can mermaidcore work for you?
Accessorize with a Rosette Choker & a Big Bow
Rosettes and bows dominate this year's accessories. So, why not wear a rosette choker and a big bow pin at the same time?
My bubble-hem dress actually comes with a huge bow at the center front of the sweetheart neckline. However, you can easily add a bow pin to the neckline of any dress.
Another way of accessorizing with a bow is to use a bow belt.
Head-to-Toe Denim Blue
Denim never goes out of style, and it's especially trendy this year. If you are going to wear a pair of floral jeans to match May flowers around you, why not pair it with a jacket in the same shade of denim blue to make your outfit look like a set?
A floral Slip Dress over a Semi-Sheer Blouse
If a white blouse you've ordered on line looks more see-through than you expected, you can keep it and layer it under a slip dress. It will go especially well with a floral slip dress in spring, as shown in my photo here.
