there are some definite HOT trends in the fashion world; things I am sure you
will want to embrace and bring a slice of into your wardrobes. Many of today’s
trends are carryovers from season’s past, and even years past. If you loved the
70’s, you are in luck!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you prefer a
more tailored, polished look, you are also in luck. </span></div>

of power” in fashion has us looming on both ends of the spectrum. The overall
theme in trends this season is a feeling of opposites. Romantic frills and
silhouette with a 70’s vibe balanced against a harsh and edgy feel inspired by
80’s-90’s street fashion. Here are 3 of the season’s fashion inspirational trends.

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">What to Wear</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">If you love
the idea of this trend, with its bold colors and romantic feel, be sure to pair
your favorite pieces with something more structured; specifically the Slip
Dress. By nature, this dress is borrowed from lingerie. Today’s slip dress is a
bit more structured, but not much. You don’t want to look like you’ve walked
out of the house wearing only your undergarments or nightgown, so pair this
dress with the proper foundation garments to keep everything “in check”. Balance
this sexy look with a structured jacket or sweater, and keep your footwear
light and airy, like the dress. </span></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Politics in Our Closets</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Fashion
trends mimic the state of world politics and the economy. Because this is such
a politically charged year, it isn’t really that surprising we are seeing that
influence in fashion.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Power suits are
back with button front blouses. Stripes that have a nautical feel and finishing
touches that reminds us of military hardware. The feel is all-American. Details
that fit into the political influence trend include:</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The stripes
of today’s trendsetters are bold, thick flag-like stripes. If you are a petite
woman, be sure that the thickness of the stripe is in line with your stature.
These thick stripes can be easily paired with florals for an up-beat look. Be
sure to match intensity and hue of the colors. The boxy jacket when paired over
a plunging neckline is a dramatic look that will turn any politico’s head. Be
mindful of where the jacket hits on your silhouette so it doesn’t add width to
your shape. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For several
seasons we have seen the influence of the 70’s in the bohemian trend and
fringe. Well, it seems it is here to stay and here in a huge way! The political
trend feels very structured and planned, while the 70’s bohemian trend feels
the exact opposite – unstructured and easy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Lightweight, translucent fabrics, fringe and lace are paired with pieces
that feel very 90’s with minimalism, a grunge feel and even fanny packs (yes, I
said fanny packs). Pieces that play homage to this trend include:</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Cold
shoulder or open shoulder tops are very sexy and should probably not be brought
into the office. Be sure to wear your shoulder-baring top with the proper
undergarments, be sure to check your top from the front, side and back. Try a
stick on (strapless) bra with snap closure in the middle, and underwire
support.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many of the trendy
open-shoulder tops have a blouson silhouette. Be sure to balance this shape
with a slim pant or skirt, or ½ tuck your blouse to change the silhouette (tuck
in the front of your shirt, leave the back untucked). Longer necklaces seem to
work best with this style top. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">There is so
much cross over in trends this season, fashionistas can bring pieces from last
spring/summer and easily transition them into this year’s wardrobes
seamlessly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Vintage thrift store finds
will fit nicely into current styles, and buying a few key pieces won’t break
the bank. When trying out these trends or fully embracing one of them, remember
my “<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">style-rule-of-thumb</i></b>”
in determining if a trend is for you; If you put something on and look in the
mirror and feel a question coming over your thoughts, the answer is no!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Conversely, if you put something on look in
the mirror and instantly smile, stand a little taller and say to yourself “oh
yea!”, the answer is yes! </span></div>

I think I have over 70 items for sale - some new, some gently loved, all pretty great deals! The best thing about Poshmark, is that you can make an offer. If the item is marked $50, and you think it's worth $35 - you can offer that other price, and barter! It's awesome!<br />
<br />
Check it out - and happy shopping!<br />

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-size: small;">Over the years, I have helped hundreds of women transform their wardrobes
into perfectly functional, fabulous collections of outfit options. There
is a common thread to all great wardrobes: a balance between basics and
statement pieces.</span><br />
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-size: small;"> </span><br />
<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-size: small;">After trying to remember all the things (and reasons<span style="color: #0000ee;"><u> </u></span>why) that make up a great wardrobe, I have compiled a list. This list isn’t intended to be a “<i>run out to the mall now and buy all these things</i>”, but rather it should be viewed as a “<i>work- in-progress checklist</i>”.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;">
<br />
<b style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">PANTS</b></div>
<ol style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<li><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Jeans – something a little sassy, boot cut or flared. I suggest finding something with a bold contrast stitch on the inside of the leg.</span></li>
<li><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Dark basic skinny jeans – these are an essential regardless of your age or personal style. The perfect skinny jean will do double duty as leggings and can be dressed up with a great jacket and heels.</span></li>
<li><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Leggings – need I say more? I honestly think you should have several pairs of basic black leggings in your wardrobe: ankle length thicker fabric, knee length and one with something different (like leather or embellishment).</span></li>
<li><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Trouser – call this your basic pant. Even for those of us who don’t wear pants very often, there is always an occasion we need a good pant that isn’t a jean. I suggest something in black.</span></li>
</ol>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;">
<b style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">TOPS</b></div>
<ol style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<li value="5"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Denim Shirt – the denim shirt has made a strong comeback in fashion, and I am thrilled! The denim shirt should be a thinner fabric, and a long sleeve you can easily roll up. The denim shirt can dress down a very dressed up skirt, and is simply something that looks good on everyone.</span></li>
<li value="6"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">White Blouse – another basic and something I searched a long time for. It is a good idea to have two white blouses: one that is a little longer (tunic length) that you can wear with leggings, and one that is a slimmer fit that would be perfect under a jacket or sweater.</span></li>
<li value="7"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">White tee – when the white blouse is too much, try the white tee! Find something that is made of a good fabric (spend a little money on this) that fits you well (i.e. don’t buy it oversized).</span></li>
<li value="8"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Embellished Tee – for some this might be a striped tee, for others it might be something with some kind of sparkle on the front. Whatever your style personality, the embellished tee will be a favorite in your closet.</span></li>
<li value="9"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Cardigan – what color do you know looks amazing on you? Blue? Pink? THAT is the color you will need to find in a cardigan. Use as a layering piece to break up monochromatic looks.</span></li>
<li value="10"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Tunic – the tunic is something that you might be able to wear with leggings and flats, or with tights and boots. In the summer months, your tunic might be a great bathing suit cover up!</span></li>
<li value="11"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Chunky Sweater – Ya know those cold weekends when a warm sweater, boots and skinny jeans are perfect? THAT is the sweater you need in your closet.</span></li>
<li value="12"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Cami – If I am being honest, you probably need several camis. I wear one just about every day. Wear under those tops with plunging necklines (that might be a bit much for work) and of course, use as a layering piece.</span></li>
</ol>
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10px;">
<b style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">JACKETS</b></div>
<ol style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 25px; padding: 0px;">
<li value="13"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Jean jacket – basic, no embellishment, looks chic with a pencil skirt and a crisp white blouse (of course with oodles of jewelry)</span></li>
<li value="14"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Basic Jacket – the basic jacket should be in your signature neutral color (brown, black or navy for example), and about hip length.</span></li>
<li value="15"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Leather Jacket – the great thing about leather is it has become very affordable. The faux-leather options are plentiful! Find a jacket that has some rugged details, maybe in a motorcycle style.</span></li>
<li value="16"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Chanel-esque Jacket – You know the style. This is something you could add in as an afterthought to your wardrobe, or be a key signature piece in your closet. It can be the thing that you wear when you need to look like a million bucks (with a pencil skirt), or be something you wear with jeans when your mood is a little sophisticated sassy.</span></li>
<li value="17"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Spa jacket – This is the thing I see missing from most wardrobes. A sporty jacket that you can wear when everything else seems to be too formal.</span></li>
</ol>

<li value="18"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">LBD – or LRD or LBD (you get the picture). A basic no frills dress that looks amazing on you. Something in a color that is perfect for your skin tone, which is easily dressed up or down.</span></li>
<li value="19"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Day Dress – I suggest a wrap dress. This style looks great on everyone and is very easy to find.</span></li>
<li value="20"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">“Look At Me” Dress – A party dress (that isn’t black) with some kind of glitz and shine on it. This might be the thing you wear to a cocktail party or holiday party</span></li>

<li value="21"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Pencil Skirt – the workhorse of your wardrobe. I suggest black. If a pencil skirt isn’t a style you are fond of, try an A-Line style</span></li>
<li value="22"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Patterned Skirt – maybe a tweed or floral, whatever your style dictates this is a skirt you love to live in.</span></li>
<li value="23"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Little Knit Skirt – or 2, or 3! This is the little black skirt you pull on with a tee and flip flops in the summer, or pair with tights and a sweater in the winter. It is what you want to wear when it is in the laundry.</span></li>

<li value="24"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Bra wardrobe – A wise investment is to have a few great fitting bras. Skip the white ones (really…no need for them). Be sure you have at least 2 nude and 1 black bra. Convertible straps are a must! </span></li>
<li value="25"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Undies wardrobe – Everyone needs some undies that will eliminate panty lines…need I say more?</span></li>

<li value="28"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Brown braided thick belt – I love wearing my braided belt buckled and looped through (looks like I tied it around my waist).</span></li>
<li value="29"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Trendy Sunglasses – In today’s sunglass world, that might be the aviator or the Jackie-O</span></li>
<li value="30"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Scarf (or pashmina) – I suggest you have 2 of these in your treasure chest. One in a pop color, and a basic neutral (like black)</span></li>
<li value="31"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Dark opaque tights – They key is opaque, a thick tight that you can’t see your skin through. I like the Spanx version (serves double duty!)</span></li>

<li value="32"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Statement necklace – Something that is neutral, but ‘wow’ enough that people notice. Look for something that is a ‘collar’ style</span></li>
<li value="33"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Long necklace – I like one that has a few charms.</span></li>
<li value="34"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Bangle bracelets – Stack them on your wrist, and your outfit gets at least 5 style points!</span></li>
<li value="35"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Everyday pendant necklace – This is the necklace you wear just about every day, that you can layer with other things</span></li>
<li value="36"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Right Hand ring – Something big, bold that tells your style story. It might be a big flower, or a cluster of diamonds.</span></li>
<li value="37"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Stud earrings – Diamond, yes I am giving you permission to get a pair of diamond earrings (or glass that just looks like diamond studs). When you have no idea what earrings to wear, pull these out of your jewelry box. Trust me. I wear mine every single day (even to the gym).</span></li>
<li value="38"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Hoop earrings – When you want to make your outfit a little more casual, or you feel like your look just need a little something more, in walks the hoop earring.</span></li>

<li value="40"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Basic every day handbag – Something that is big enough that you can shove a bottle of water and a snack inside, but not so big that it could be mistaken for a gym bag.</span></li>
<li value="41"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Weekend clutch – This is something you can use with your LBD or jeans, white tee and sassy heels.</span></li>
<li value="42"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Power color purse – What is the dominant color in your wardrobe? Red? Blue?

<li value="45"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Non-athletic tennis shoe – Ya know those cute little flats that kinda look like tennis shoes but they really are more of a ballet flat? That is what you need.</span></li>
<li value="46"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Sassy heel – Something that makes you fees sexy and alive. And, it’s OK if you can only stand for 10 minutes and take 15 steps in them. You should be sitting in these shoes to show them off (wink!).</span></li>
<li value="47"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Stiletto with sparkle – I will admit I am a sparkly shoe addict. I have far too many.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The holidays
are a time when we become one with our inner diva and confidentially wear all
the glitz our beings can handle. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This season,
evening wear trends take a turn for the different. This might be the year you
invest in a few new party pieces in your winter wardrobe. Here are some trend
notions to get you started shopping.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://sp.yimg.com/xj/th?id=OIP.Me5b30fabde7c26f25d80d4a9ade7eea0o0&pid=15.1&P=0&w=300&h=300" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://sp.yimg.com/xj/th?id=OIP.Me5b30fabde7c26f25d80d4a9ade7eea0o0&pid=15.1&P=0&w=300&h=300" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> This season,
<b><span style="font-size: large;">look for a little fringe and feathers</span></b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The feel of these details is instant luxury. A hot look is a-symmetrical
fringe. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dresses with feathers at the
hemline, lace dresses finished with long fringe, even car wash fringe is making
a big come back. Because these styles are such a statement in and of
themselves, go simple on your shoe and accessory choices. With makeup, perhaps
a bold lip will be all you need. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The <span style="font-size: large;"><b>A-Line
dress</b></span>, which of course is juxtaposed with the <span style="font-size: large;"><b>pencil dress</b></span>, are the sought
after silhouettes of this holiday season. The A-line dress is one that looks
great on everyone. Timeless and elegant. Of course, because fashion is a story
of opposites, the other hot silhouette is a pencil dress.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This form fitting dress is most trendy this
season when it is longer, a midi length. Know which cut is best for your
figure. Try these styles with a peep toe evening shoe bootie! </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Holiday
means metallic</b></span>; this season the hot metallic hue is champagne.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s not beige, it’s not pink, and it’s a
little goldish with silver. This metallic is great for any skin tone because it
encompasses both warm and cool undertones. Other great colors for party attire
this season include deep purple and ruby red to marsala. To balance the color
is an abundance of black and white styles from high-end fashion houses. Head to
toe black and head to toe winter white is what the chicest of fashionistas will
wear this season. </span></div>

inspiration</b></span> is seen in fashion this season, evening and party wear is no
exception. 70’s vibe color combinations done in sequins ala Dance Fever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Think disco. Deep necklines, long blouson
sleeves and very short hemlines all harken back to when Saturday Night Fever
was a way of life. This look should be done with hair and makeup that balances
the strong look of this style. Simple hair, beachy waves might be best. With
makeup, a soft lip with strong cat-eye may be a great look for you. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Try plaid
</span></b>with metallic threads. Plaid is everywhere this season, so of course holiday
collections will include a little plaid done with metallic threads. The
metallic feel will offer a glimpse of formality, while the plaid still carries
the weight of something more casual. Plaid might be a great choice for more
casual affairs on your calendars; office parties, neighborhood get together,
kids holiday programs at school. Plaid can be revved up easily with paired with
leather. Try plaid jacket with leather leggings and a peep toe shoe-boot. </span></div>

your social calendar dictates this season, don’t be afraid to infuse a little

soon, so embrace a “new after-5 you”, and invest in yourself! <span> </span>And remember my rule of thumb in trying a new
style, “<span><i>If you put it on and wonder if its right, the answer is no. If you put
it on and instantly stand up straighter and feel like you have more swing in

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Most
of us fall into one of 2 categories when it comes to packing for a trip: we are
either a skimpy packer or an over packer. The skimpy packer is someone who is
determined to only take a carry on, and finds themselves needing a few more
pieces of clothing to get through the trip. Conversely, the over packer will
take 10 pairs of shoes for an overnight stay, ya know, just in case.</span></span></span></div>

packing is something that requires practice, a little planning, and letting go

Yes, it's that time of year again when we search Michiana for an amazing group of ladies willing to be our models for the <a href="http://goodwillfashionshow.com/wordpress_1/lbd" target="_blank">Little Black Dress</a> fashion show and luncheon.<br />
<br />
I know you have questions! Here are some FAQs:<br />

<b>WHAT KIND OF MODELS ARE YOU LOOKING FOR?</b><br />
<i>We are looking for ladies between the ages of 18-100. We ask that
those who wish to be a model NOT be a high school student, be able to
provide their own transportation and have an email address and a
telephone number that they check daily.</i><br />
<br />
<b>I AM NOT A MODEL SIZE, IS THAT OK?</b><br />
<i>That's great! We don't want real models for this show. That is what
makes this fashion show so great and fun for everyone! We search for a
variety of ladies from size 0-24+!</i><b> </b><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>WHAT IS MY COMMITMENT IF I AM CHOSEN TO BE A MODEL?</b><br />
<i>You will be asked to attend one of the open model calls in person
(sorry, no exceptions to this!). This interview will take about 10-
minutes.</i><br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyciYxcuo9Fu1C5IOpuHrKEK4t8SUd71tIwA1FH0CZKoK6kltmPzZJrkuyZQYvFFJiX7vp9PYulrbnfYe6CIEcdkj2DKtsqVJc1fS9F-n2wV0PH3Llwl92d2i0MtbgV51gShwTWeZNAzw/s1600/2014_LBD_3.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyciYxcuo9Fu1C5IOpuHrKEK4t8SUd71tIwA1FH0CZKoK6kltmPzZJrkuyZQYvFFJiX7vp9PYulrbnfYe6CIEcdkj2DKtsqVJc1fS9F-n2wV0PH3Llwl92d2i0MtbgV51gShwTWeZNAzw/s1600/2014_LBD_3.jpg" width="132" /></a><br />
<i>After
the open calls, you will be notified if you have been chosen to be a
model in this year's show. If you are chosen you will be scheduled for a
fitting. The fittings will take place at the Goodwill store on Western
Ave. in South Bend. The times for the fittings are typically on
Tuesday / Wednesday between 10am and 3pm. The fittings are a week
before the event. The fitting will take about 30 minutes.</i> <i>We do
our best to accommodate everyone's schedule, however we ask that all
models do their best to make the prearranged time for their fitting work
into their calendar. </i><br />

<b>HOW ARE THE MODELS FOR THE FASHION SHOW CHOSEN?</b><br />
<i>After the open calls, a committee from the <a href="http://www.style-image-institute.com/" target="_blank">Style and Image Institute</a>
will consider each lady interested in being a model. Models are chosen
based on availability for the fitting and event and overall
personality. Our goal is to have models that represent the largest
variety possible of sizes and ages on the runway.</i> <br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">There is a new trend out therhttps://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=9117951317629263763#editor/target=post;postID=3329607560768169457e, and it’s called
GALentine. Why wait for some guy to ask you out, or sit home alone? Go out with your girlfriends, and show them how much they mean to you.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 150%;">I love this idea. There may be someone in your circle of friends who is going through a hard time. Show them that you support them with a stackable ring. Image your friend who is fighting breast cancer, opening a gift of a beautiful pink ring at dinner...and then all of your friends gathered at the table hold up their hand wearing the same ring. AWESOMENESS!</span></span></span><br />

your look.</b></span> According to master stylist Kerri Spencer (owner of <a href="http://www.kerris-avenue-salon.com/" target="_blank">Kerri’s AvenueSalon in Granger, IN</a>), “One thing that can quickly date your look is your hairstyle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You can easily look 10 years younger with an
updated hairstyle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is why we
suggest changing your style, even slightly, every year.” </span></span></div>

most important thing about your hair cut is to make sure it fits your face,
draws attention to your best features, and minimizes flaws.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The goal is to get to a balanced oval shape.”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></div>

FACE:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">If
you have a square face, the goal with your hair is to create some softness with
curls and waves. You will want to pay particular attention to the crown to be
sure you are adding volume. This will create a nice balance. Short and medium
length hair styles are the best for you. </span></span></div>

you have a heart shaped face, styles that hit at the neck/chin add volume to the
bottom portion of your face creating a beautiful balance. Long styles are also
great for you. Choose a style that will have varying layers around your face,
with one layer hitting near your ears / nose, and the other at your chin.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">When it comes to color it is easy to
make a mistake or get stuck in a rut.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Kerri Spencer, master stylist, says, “As a general rule, you should keep
some of your natural color peeking through somewhere.” </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">To find the perfect color, consider
your skin tone. Determine the underlying tones in your skin by using color swatches;
</span><span class="5yl5"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">silver
or blue for cool, and gold or yellow for warm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Place these on the face/neck and see what is the most flattering to your
skin tone.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pay attention to increased
ruddyness, wrinkles, or darkness under your eyes. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Those are the tones you should avoid in your hair color</i>. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be sure to do this wearing no makeup (or very
little) and in an area that is well lit with natural lighting. Outside on a
sunny day is best.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Another trick is to
look at the underside of your wrists in sunlight.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you see more blue you are a cool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you see more green/yellow you are a warm. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Best for Cool tones: </span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Choose a shade with some warmth</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> like golden blonde, orange-red, honey light brown or
chocolate brunette</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

</span><b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Best for Warm tones:</span></b><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cooler hair tones will be beautiful on you.
Try ash brown, beige blonde, champagne light blonde, auburn red or dark
espresso brown</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Whatever you

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">What is it about this time of the
year;<span style="font-family: inherit;"> the weather <span style="font-family: inherit;">seems to dictate our daily fashion statements which means our style is best described as </span></span> “ho-hum”. Look around, we have all fallen into a winter
monochromatic slump. The notion of dressing in all one color has us thinking we
are looking instantly slimmer…but that on-color ensemble can also make us look
like we’re not trying. There are other ways to camouflage what the gym hasn’t
taken care of yet </span></span></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Go
all one color</b>
– this doesn’t mean you can simply choose black as your ‘statement’ and go with
that until the first tulip pops up in the garden.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Choose a hue you know you look good in, for
example blue. There are very few people who don’t look amazing in blue! Vary
the intensity of the colors from head to toe, and mix in a little texture.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will make your outfit look styled as
opposed to thrown together. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"> </b></span></span><br />

</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Become
a column</b>
– break up the monochromatic monotony in your outfit choices with column
dressing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A column of color either on
the inside or outside of your look can strategically direct the eye away from a
little extra fluff.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For example, if you
are holding weight in your midsection, be sure to create a column on the
outside to bring the eye away from your belly.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Any place you have color or a detail is where onlooker’s eyes will
fall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be sure they are looking where you
want them to! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Proportion
is key – </b>the
proportion of all of your accessories need to be in-line with the proportion of
your silhouette.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are a petite
gal, be sure not to opt for the largest handbag you can find.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will throw off your silhouette and make
you appear unbalanced.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Likewise, if you
are a plus size sassy woman, make sure your jewelry isn’t on the delicate side.
This “proportion is key” notion should also be considered when choosing the
weight of prints and the busyness of patterns. </span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">What it is:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b>This is a strong big plaid, think black
and red flannel shirts.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This plaid is
being seen as a detail on jackets, in skirts, socks, leggings, skirts…basically
everywhere.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Beware:</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because this is such a big bold print, be careful
if you have soft coloring (light brown, blonde hair, hazel, blue or light brown
eyes).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The contrast in this plaid can be
overwhelming on you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Likewise, if you
are petite, this print might be a bit too much on you.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">How to wear it:</b><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This trend has a distinct masculine
feel.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Be sure to pair this strong print
with something softer and feminine. It also has a youthful casual vibe. To wear
this plaid in a sophisticated way, fabric choices will be very important. Leave
the flannel at home. Opt for silk or wool for the office.<br />

knee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are also seeing longer versions
of this trend. This look is voluminous.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Beware:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b>If your body shape includes having some
‘junk in your trunk’, you might want to pass on this trend.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This skirt adds volume to the hip-booty area.<br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">How to wear it:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></b>Because this style is full, the shirt you
pair with it should be fitted. The short nature of this skirt lends itself to a
leg-baring look. For the office, a dark opaque tight with a like-colored oxford
or boot would be perfect.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>

or something in leather. Be sure to seek out a good blue shoe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Because this is such a hot color this season
we will be seeing a lot of shoes done in blue (which isn’t typical).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Try a bootie! Seek out prints that have hints

<br />
Fashion and kids seem to be 2 words that (<i>when said together</i>) add<br />
a lot of stress to the family budget. As a Mom of a pre-teen, I will <br />
admit the ever-changing likes and dislikes of my daughter could easily <br />
break the bank. On the other hand, I want her to embrace her own sense <br />

want my daughter to have every day...to feel confident and not be <br />
concerned about her clothing.<br />

I love a surprise. Especially a surprise of jewelry! The amazing people at <i><b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.alisonandivy.com/" target="_blank">Alison & Ivy</a></span></b></i> sent me the most gorgeous necklace! <span class="st"><em>Alison</em> & <em>Ivy</em> manufactures the
highest quality personalized jewelry in America. They are known for
monogrammed jewelry (pendants, rings, earrings), but offer so much more. </span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Have you
ever considered how your 2 world are so vastly different?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Your work world and your LIFE?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For over 70% of us, that means we work
full-time and have kids. </span><a href="http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2013/ted_20130510.htm"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">http://www.bls.gov/opub/ted/2013/ted_20130510.htm</span></a><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> We spend an average of 10 hours a
day, every day, working and attending to tasks. </span><a href="http://www.bls.gov/tus/charts/"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">http://www.bls.gov/tus/charts/</span></a><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In other words 10
hours a day not sleeping, being with our family and friends; 70 hours a week. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Now let’s
think about what most of us sassy working mom’s do for a living.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What kinds of clothing we are required to
wear for work. For most of us that look is a traditional professional style.
The disconnect is considering what kinds of clothing we like, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">that we choose to wear when we are living
our lives</i>, looks much different than the attire we wear to work.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Consider your
Style Personality, the clothing you wear is a direct reflection of who you are;
your personality. You feel the most beautiful, confident and the most like your
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">TRUE SELF</b> when you wear a great outfit
that reflects who you are.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The conflict
comes when we spend 70 hours a week (some weeks more!) in our career wardrobe
that doesn’t look anything like our real Style Personality.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Think about
it this way; it can feel like for 8+ hours a day you are wearing someone else’s
clothes. They aren’t they colors you like or the style you like. You can’t wait
to get home and change clothes. The instant you are able to pull on your
favorite jeans and that amazing top you feel like you can take a breath. Your
mood shifts from subtle annoyance to happy go-lucky I CAN TAKE ONE THE WORLD!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As a
certified Stylist and Image Consultant, I encourage my clients to see their
wardrobes as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">one complete thing.</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t believe in creating a “work wardrobe”
and a “Life wardrobe”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That is a very
expensive wardrobe plan and as working Moms, we need to get the most out of the
budget we set aside for ourselves. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; margin-left: .5in; margin-right: .5in; margin-top: 0in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">According to Michelle, a high level marketing
executive for a large bank, “For years I found I was altering the real me at
work; I was trying to be who I thought my colleagues and clients wanted me to
be.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I need to be rather conservative with
my attire at work, and I took that general apparel direction to the ‘nth degree.
With my friends and family I am the life of the party. At work, I was feeling
dull and lifeless.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This conflict caused
a lot of tension with my career.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
noticed it and so did my co-workers and boss.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I gave myself permission to infuse some of myself real self into my
professional world.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>One of those steps
was with my wardrobe. I began to see I was making professional gains I didn’t
think was possible. I know this is because my confidence level increased
because I was being myself, not trying to be someone else.”</span></i></div>
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">No More White Blouses
and Suits!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Perhaps the most un-creative
professional look is the navy (or black) suit with a white blouse. Make a stand
against the professional look everyone has. NO MORE WHITE BLOUSES! Add color
and pattern to the great tailored suit. The blouse you love to wear in the
summer with shorts and capris can work with your power suit. Don’t shy away
from tucking it in and adding a bold belt (with the skirt, under the jacket).</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></b><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Un-Suit your suit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Who said you HAVE to wear <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">that
</i>jacket with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">that </i>skirt? Who wrote
the fashion law that says “you can only wear a suit as a suit, you shant ever
wear the pieces separately!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The answer?
No-one!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Mix things up: khaki suit jacket
with black suit pants, a leather suit jacket with the pencil skirt from your
power suit, make cardigans your new go-to jacket. If your workplace will allow,
infuse some denim with your suiting pieces. What could be more office-chic than
a smartly tailored denim shirt with a pin stripe suit? Or perhaps your favorite
jean jacket with a pair of trousers and silk blouse. </span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></b><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Permission to buy new
shoes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Yes, I am giving you permission to go
shoe shipping.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are welcome. Adding
some of your Style Personality into your professional wardrobe with shoes (or
any accessories) can turn a forgettable drab suit into a memorable ensemble.
Think about it; a great pin stripe suit with an Ahhhhh-mazing pair of bright
red stilettos with a silver spiked heel. Not your style? What about that suit
with a zebra print kitten heel?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Get away
from being matchy-matchy with your shoes and your outfits. Try new
combinations. Start your “what to wear today” internal conversation with “I
will wear these shoes today with…”</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></b><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Tailoring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For many of us, it can be hard to get rid of things in our
closets we have invested in. Suits can be at the top of the list. If the style
is one that was in-vogue years ago it needs a little revamp. Consider
shortening the skirt, take the sleeves of the jacket to ¾, give trousers a new
silhouette - a peg leg, add an interesting gathered detail at the back of the
jacket.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"></span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span></b><br />
<br />
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Cocktails at work?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Did I just hear thousands of women all over Michiana yell
“yes, PLEASE!”<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Well….I am not suggesting
THAT kind of cocktail, but more the jewelry variety. Bring your favorite party,
evening and cocktail jewelry pieces into your professional wardrobe. Add a
sparkly brooch to that boring suit jacket, rhinestone necklace layered with a
non-descript chain, a statement cocktail ring as your ‘every-day-right-hand’</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> </span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I’m not
suggesting you go against corporate norms.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The first impression created by a professional and polished image is
critical to overall career success.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
am, however, suggesting you infuse your REAL Style Personality into your
professional life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After all…you spend a
lot of time there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You might as well
feel your best!</span></div>

<![endif]--><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i><b>[as seen in the March 2014 edition of SASSY Magazine]</b></i></span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">New
trends. For many of us, we see new looks in magazines or at the mall and think
they are cute, but we never try them.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Getting stuck in a style rut (or comfortable with an outdated style) is
very common, and very easy to remedy.</span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Challenge
yourself <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">to try one new thing this season</i></b>. Step out of your box; embrace
a revved up YOU this spring!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here are
some ways to challenge your style:</span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">COLOR CHALLENGE</b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
‘it’ color this season is Violet Tulip, a beautiful soft purple.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A common style-rut (especially coming off
such a frigid winter) is the monochromatic (i.e. all black) wardrobe. One sure
way to lift your spirits, change old habits and get instant style points is to
infuse this spring tone into your winter basics. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sprinkle something violet into
your look with a vibrant necklace. Maybe invest now in a violet blouse or
summer sweater and layer those pieces with your winter basics. Want to be
daring?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Violet tights and a leather
skirt! </span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Maybe
you don’t look your best in this hue of purple?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Try something with more punch, like Dazzling Blue!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This very-wearable color is an attention
getting.</span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">STATEMENT CHALLENGE</b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">There
are several trends this season that will make a big statement in your
wardrobe.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Like winter, statement jackets
fall into this category.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are 2 for
you to try this season; one is the boxy jacket, and the other is the bomber.</span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
boxy jackets on the runways are in a variety of colors and fabrics.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With this style, keep proportion in
mind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This jacket has a “swing” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>unstructured nature to it, pair it with a pant
or skirt that is slim and not free-flowing. </span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">An
easy look to try: skinny jeans, shoe boots, tunic length t-shirt or blouse with
your new statement boxy jacket. </span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
other style is the bomber.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not the
bomber of days gone by; think chic colorful bombers.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This sporty look can take you from the
boardroom to cocktails in an instant.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Juxtaposition
is key when making this style look sophisticated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The nature of this cut of jacket is
casual.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Pair with pieces that are tailored
or have a professional feel. </span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">An
Easy Look to try: Your favorite stilettos, those trouser pants from a suit, a
basic cami and a hip satin bomber. </span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Before
you invest in this season’s statement jackets, think of at least 3 different
ways you can wear this piece.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Being
stuck into wearing a statement piece one way is not a wise investment for your
wardrobe. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Simple considerations would be: Can I wear with jeans? Can I wear
with a skirt? One new unique way to wear this piece? </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ACCESSORY CHALLENGE</b></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Adding
accessories is the one thing that will take a very basic look to one that is
va-va-voom! Using accessories in the right way is the difference between
wearing an outfit and having style. So many of us busy women don’t stop and
think about being accessorized. </span></span><br />
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">This
spring, I would like to challenge you to wear at least 9 things every day that
you can consider an accessory. These could be:</span></span></div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: Symbol; font-size: small; mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="-moz-font-feature-settings: normal; -moz-font-language-override: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: small;">Necklace
– try wearing more than one!</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Rings
– do you wear a right hand ring?</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Bracelets
– try layering some bangles with charm styles </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Eye
glasses</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Bold
pattern in your outfit</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Unexpected
shoe – maybe your leopard kitten heels are your new neutral shoe you wear with
everything?</span></span></li>
</ul>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">Spring
is a time to renew. A time to be done with the old and welcome change. Take
just a little time this spring to focus on you!</span></span></div>

</xml><![endif]-->This morning I was on WNDU TV sharing information about the Little White Dress expo event in Mishawaka tomorrow. This one of a kind event will feature fashion shows with wedding attire from Goodwill. All of the vendors will offer tips on how to plan your dream wedding on a budget!<br />
<br />
Here is a link to info on the event: <a href="http://www.goodwill-ni.org/goodforcommunity/details.cfm?ContentDetails_id=4176" target="_blank">Little White Dress</a><br />

Here are some other tips for saving your budget while planning your dream wedding:<br />

</span></span></span>Hire A wedding planner.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Professionals can save you money because of
the relationships and business they already give to vendors.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They also have years of creativity planning
weddings and can offer alternatives to save you money that you might never have
thought of.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

co-workers you have seems to be significant, eliminate all work
relationships.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Keep the numbers down for

for a vintage beauty from a consignment shop or thrift store. Buy a dress from
a thrift store and have it custom tailored into something perfect for you.</div>

after the wedding -- something you likely won't do with white heels. Make your

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Seems like this time every year,
we work really hard at pushing through to spring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Maybe it’s the cold weather, maybe its from
being exhausted from all the holiday cheer, or perhaps the truth is that the holiday
cheer ended up in our midsection.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fear
not – we are ALL feeling the same way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Most winter wardrobes are havens
for all things black and grey.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We bundle
ourselves up from head to toe to stay warm…and all that bundling doesn’t do
much for our silhouettes!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With the new
year comes new trends and new colors. Although the weather isn’t quite
spring-ish yet, bring some life into a drab winter wardrobe with some key
spring pieces.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The best way to do that
now is with jackets! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Cropped Jackets</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Shorter jackets will be a big
trend this Spring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>When adding this
silhouette into your wardrobe, be sure that you balance the boxy-feeling of
this jacket with form fitting pieces underneath. Many cropped jackets have a
very glam Chanel feel; wear this style in an unexpected way: jeans and a white
t-shirt, and layer with gobs of jewelry. Instant chic!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Make sure the length of the
jacket is flattering to your body shape.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Rule of thumb is the shorter the jacket, the more flattering to the hip
area. Remember, where the jacket hits your torso that is where all the
attention will be in your outfit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In
other words, make sure THAT is where you WANT people to be looking! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Bomber Jackets</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
This style will be a big trend
this Spring. Think “grown up baseball jacket”…or “flight jacket meets a bolt of
silk fabric”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A sophisticated fabric
takes this sporty cut to a whole new level of cool.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Love this look with a slouchy trouser and a
sky-high stiletto. Keep the layers you wear with the bomber monochromatic.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let the bomber be THE statement of your
look.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
My favorite take is a feminine flirty
dress (think ruffles and lace) with a rugged leather bomber. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Car Coats</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
Car coats.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You know, the very lady like over coat that
hits at your knee.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The trend will be a
swing coat with no collar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If you are
petite, this might not be the best look for you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Car coats can be a bit overwhelming for a
slight frame.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
The length of this style coat
should be the same length of your skirts and dresses.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For most, the most flattering length will be
mid-knee. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">ONE THING TO INVEST IN FOR SPRING </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
A crisp White Blouse.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All the design houses are showing this key
wardrobe staple as a fundamental layering piece to a ton of looks this
spring.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>To be honest, if you don’t have
a good white blouse in your closet already, it’s about time to get one! </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
