Fab Fashion

Looking fabulous all the time does take some work but if you plan right the work should be minimal. When I say fabulous I mean looking good across all the boundaries. Whether you are casual, classy, chic, contemporary, Bohemian or urban looking great should be a priority. When talking about fashion we talk about style. Ethnic style differs a little from the main stream markets although these styles are beginning to be worn by every one. Ethnic styles and clothing are clothing worn by an indigenous group of people. The regions where these styles originate are as varied as we are diverse.

With the hot weather upon us it seems we can't take off enough clothes to keep cool but in the fashion world styles are light, airy and free flowing. The material is soft, smooth and feels good to the body. Summer also brings out many cool colors, some bright and vibrant, others pastel and soft. This is a time to experiment with fashion and color. Don't be afraid to try colors you've never tried before. Don't be afraid to change up your style. Depending on what you like to wear, dresses, skirts, pants, blouses and tops there is something for every one. Be creative and have fun when shopping.

Part of our beauty image comes from how we dress. Our style says a lot about who we are. Many women don't realize this even teens and young adults. What you wear speaks louder to the world than anything else. It is the first impression the world see's and from there it makes a decision and assumes the type of person you are. When you step out no one knows you. They don't know who you, your name, where you're from or what you like and don't like. This is where self image comes into play. Define what type of person you are. Take time to define what impression you want people to get when they first lay eyes on you. Are you foot loose and fancy free or are you classic and conservative? What about romantic, contemporary? How about just plain young or young at heart?

I am a die hard romantic. I love frills, lace and velvety material. I love clothes that make me feel feminine and sensuous. I like to create a sense of freedom in my style that is uniquely me. When I am feeling mellow or just chillin' out, I like soft pastel colors. When I am feeling mischievous and playful I like bold bright colors. What you wear reflects on who you are and what kind of mood you are in. When we get dressed we are dressing to make a statement whether we realize it or not.

Many of you work outside the home and probably have dress codes you have to adhere too, but think about this for a minute though; If you have to dress in an upscale way, i.e. business attire, every day take thought to what you wear underneath. Your under garments make a big difference also in how you feel and what people see on the outside. If you have to wear business attire which is usually on the blue, black or grey color scale, wear undergarments with color. Wear lace or satin. No one needs to know what's under there except you. Wear the most outrageous colors that make you feel alive and energetic. Also be sure they make you feel good about yourself and you will reflect that to your co-workers. You will be more confident more affirmative and positive as well as creative in your work place

We are women. Women are feminine in nature. We like soft things. We like things that make us feel sexy and beautiful but the key here is we have to treat our selves as such before any one else will. Don't be afraid of feeling and being feminine. It's who we are as women. So when setting up your wardrobe pick styles and fashions that are age appropriate, flattering, creative, and beautiful to who you are.

In this section I will be bringing you up to date information, advice and tips on the fashion world. Here we will discover our fashion and style together. What ever the type of fashion, ethnic or mainstream let this be the place you come to find what is uniquely you.
