Accent Your Best Feature

Any women usually has a favorite feature that they like about themselves such as a small waist, sexy legs or a full-bust line. Choose garments that play up these features – if you have great legs then wear shorter skirts, for a fuller bust wear v-neck or scoop necklines and for a small waist accent with belts or fitted tops for a sexy look, all while accenting your best features.

Forget About Your Size

Forget about sizing and go with fit. There really isn’t a standard when it comes to clothes sizes so what may be a size 16 in one clothing line may be a size 14 in another line. Each clothing manufacturer has its own size and you may find that you find a line that fits your figure perfectly. Once you find a designer that you know works with your shape then make sure to shop that line.

Jewelry: Add Some Color

On 01.22.10, In Fashion & Beauty, By Tim

Often times it is the accessories you team with your outfit that decide the style of the entire ensemble. A simple black dress with high heels and a gold bangle and dangly earrings are clearly a dressed up style, while flat strappy sandals or slip-ons with plain diamond stud earrings can take the same dress to casual status.

Having a selection of accessories can be just as, if not more, beneficial to owning a range of looks as having a vast wardrobe. Accessories can be as inexpensive, or expensive, as you want them to be but remember you don’t have to buy out your local jeweller or hit up an account at a Swarovski Crystal store to get that classy look. Simulated diamond jewellery is becoming more popular and settings come in real gold or even platinum. As well as diamonds, other gems such as emeralds and rubies are now simulated in laboratories and are of the same quality as the mined gems. The advantages of buying simulated jewellery are many and top of the list is the environmental damage from mining you will not be supporting and added to this no-one will know that your jewel is simulated unless you tell them!

Another way to accessorise with beautiful jewellery is to consider glass pieces. There are some wonderful artists creating magnificent pendants and bracelets using the ancient Italian art of glasswork. Glasswork in jewellery is strong and durable and each piece is truly individual so you know that you will be the only person in the world with that piece of jewellery.

If you hit up your local markets you are bound to find a local artist that creates individual glass jewellery or beautiful beadwork but if you want something truly amazing try places like Oxfam that support third word countries such as in Africa or India by buying items such as jewellery from local craftspeople as a way for them to support themselves. In this way you will be doing a good thing for the world as well as owning something beautiful and unique.
