Max dress by kikaPaprika

 Today, I'm off to a kikaPaprika show.  The weather is a little cooler, so I thought I would work with the Max dress (previous season).  The Max dress can be worn as a sleeveless dress or a skirt (at different lengths).  Along, with the Max (as a skirt), I'm wearing kika's Ella rouched top and a lace top (mine).  Belt is by Etcetera.

I am into the "cat eyed" glasses and have struggled to find a pair that I like.  I found these on a recent "retail therapy" trip with my daughter and had to have them.  By Tom Ford.

Color blah hahs

Today, I decided to put myself up for a little challenge.  I do Color Analysis and many times when analysing a lady she may find that she has alot of the wrong colors in her closet.  So, what does she do?  Of course, she might like to go by a whole new wardrobe but that's not always feasible.

At one of my kikaPaprika shows the other night, a gal tried this "Jessica" top on, along with black kika shorts and was super cute in it.  Of course, I then wanted to be in the color family I am not, as camel is definitely not one of my colors.  Challenge was on~1) make the color work 2) wear this top for a photo, since I didn't have one of the other 12 different colors.

Here is what I did~I added a pop color, berry red tank, added gold accessories for the sparkle, white pants and crossed the white over in the scarf, which had the gold links and worked back with my belt and earrings.

When you are working with colors in your closet that aren't the best for you, add a color that is right for you up close to your face.

fur trend

Hello Fashionistas!
     If you have been following the fashion magazines or the ads, you will notice Fur is In!  What will it be for you?  Fur coat, vest, cape, scarf, boot toppers, etc???

     I would love to see your favorite fur piece of the season.  It's the trend, so a touch would keep you in style.  What will it be for you?

Fall is around the corner~Enjoy these beautiful days!   Debbie

white teeth

On prior blogs, I've talked about your first impression or your 5 second visual resume.  So what does the approaching person see after your outfit~A Big Smile?  Is your big smile, pearly white?  Are your teeth clean?  Is your breath offensive?  All these questions are things that the person standing by you or talking with you are noticing.

It's true!  A smile is worth 1000 words.  It can make a person's day.  It can give a lift to a person that is having a bad bad.

With all the available whiteners on the market, everyone can have that big Pearly white smile!  Invest in yourself!  You will love the smile that you see coming back to you in the mirror and so will the person passing by.

Smile Today and make someone's day a little brighter!

Body Shapes

Do you know your body shape?  If you do, it will make shopping for your clothing much easier and there will be less clothing sitting in your closet unworn.

Let's start with-
The Rectangle or the "b" body~
Shoulders and hips are the same width
Gains weight in the belly
Straight through the waist or muffin top
Flat behind

The Oval body or the "O" body~
Large busted
Rounded on top, bust, and upper mid section
Fuller figured
Nice legs
Usually size 14 and up

The Triangle or "d" body~
Shoulders are smaller than hips
Narrow waist
Small busted
Gains weight in the behind, hips, and thighs

The Hourglass or "X" body

Narrow waist
Gains weight evenly all over
Balanced proportions

Do you know which body type you are?  Now, you want to embrace your assets and camouflage your least favorite areas.

When shopping with me at my Trunk shows, we will do just that.  It is better to spend a little more and love how you look in your clothing.  Versus, buying several inexpensive pieces and letting them sit in your closet or worse yet, not looking good in them. 

Wearing the right clothing for your body, the right color for your skin, will put a spring in your step.  People will think you have lost weight and look younger.

My upcoming Trunk show is August 26-30 for Fall.  Schedule your appointment!  Visit~
