leggings solve the problem

Do you have that special dress you love to wear in the warm weather and now you think you can't wear it? Don't worry because if you just wear the right stockings or leggings with it go for it! It's a great way to wear many things you thought you couldn't wear in the cold weather. You can even wear those cute booties you thought wouldn't be warm enough to wear.

Be careful with too many patterns. It's great to add some style with your leggings as long as your dress doesn't have too much pattern.

Must-haves for Fall

While some may be upset that it is getting colder, the fall brings a whole new excitement about fashion. When you first think about what to buy or what you are going to wear, remember to focus on a few essentials that should be in your closet.

-classic trench coat (can be worn in any weather or occasion)
-suede boot (perfect with most outfits like skirts, dresses, and even over skinny jeans. If it has at least a little heel it can be worn in any occasion).
-fitted jacket that can be worn with any outfit. (Fitted also means that it should fit to your particular body shape.)
-leather hand bag
-sheath dress (can be worn to work and out on the town)
-Splurge on a nice pair of jeans that are perfect for your body
-pear shape: wide-leg, or flared jeans
-apple shape: bootcut, or flared jeans
-hourglass shape: wide-leg or flared jeans
-rectangular shape: straight-legged jeans

Day and Night

This idea came up when I was out in the city all day and needed to stay throughout the night. Dresses are a good option that can be worn day and night.

Some features to look for:
-open neckline
-fitted-waist silhouette
-figure-skimming
-cap sleeves
-Knee length hem

In Style magazine says, "Look for dresses that nip in at the waist and slightly flare out over hips and thighs."

It is also best to wear a solid color dress so that you can switch accessories to match the occasion.

Shoes for Men

There are specific shoes for different looks. Here are some general rules:

-Choose a shoe that "goes" or is darker than your pants **Remember: outfits should "go" not "match"
-If you are confused how to make your shoe go with your outfit look at your belt and work from there

Shoes with jeans:
You can wear pretty much any style and color shoe with jeans. Think about what type of outfit you are wearing and start with your shirt. If you are wearing a polo shirt, a loafer might be more appropriate that basketball sneakers. Try not to wear too shiny of a shoe because that is alittle more dressy.

Shoes with Dress Pants:
General rule is to wear shinier shoes that are either the same color or darker than your pants.

Color tips:
Black shoes work well with navy, grey or black pants.
Brown shoes are best suited to tan, brown, beige, greens, other darker earth tones.
Burgundy shoes work well with khaki, lighter browns, blue and grey.
Tan shoes look great with lighter earth tones, blue, beige, lighter tan or white.

Quick Tip

Men get judged by what watch they wear like Women get judged by their shoes and handbag. Think about what message you are trying to send.

Men's essentials

Hi everyone,
I'm sorry it has been a little while but I am happy to be back and I have gotten a lot of questions from guys about style and tips so I thought I'd give some time to the guys.

Let's start with some essentials:
It's important for guys to buy some suits and jackets in a neutral color such as black or gray that can be used for work or even dress down for after work.

The pieces you can have fun with are shirts and ties. **Remember: you can wear any color with a neutral** so wear a color you like that may bring out your eye color or you're just in the mood for that day. If you would rather wear that crazy patterned tie please do not go crazy with both the shirt and the tie; choose one or the other. One article stated "Select the tie pattern by choosing shirt and tie patterns to complement, not compete with, each other. A subtly striped shirt can back a boldly striped tie, while a more eye-catching shirt demands a quieter tie."

Another essential is a good coat. A good classic trench coat is very classy and can be worn in any occasion or season.

Keep his attention

When it gets to the third date, this is where you should have alittle fun. Think: fun,sexy,but not too high maintenance. It is important to know what type of date you are going. If it's appropriate for the occasion, pull out that dress that makes you feel sexy and confident. Sexy still does not mean show everything, but choose an outfit that can make his eyes open wide and stay on you.

Some options:
-little black sleeveless dress with pumps (ex:black dress with red pumps)
-dark jeans with a sexy but classy shirt and stilettos (ex:dark blue jeans with black top and gold shoes)
-Nothing too cute or covers too much like sweaters

Most importantly you need to wear something that will make you feel confident because your personality and attitude is what will get him.
