Keeping up with fashion

I really love plaid especially plaid skirts. I recently purchased a new purse from Vera Wang from Kohls which goes with this outfit that I had for about a year. When wearing any type of plaid patterns try to choose a pair of shoes that share a color in your plaid outfit and the purse or bag marching the shoes seen in this picture.

I love Spring/Summer fashion. Lots of bright and medium colors and light fabrics. I love the many choice that my favorite clothing stores sells which are Talbots, New York & Company, and a few others.

I've always been a fanatic of plaids especially to wear in the Fall and Winter. To me dark and light plaid colors really bring out the plaid designs. I always loved green, brown and red plaid colors for a skirt and top. Shown below is my plaid skirt I bought at Talbots which I consider my favorite. My turtleneck is from Macy's which cost me $10 which was a great bargain since I paid $118 for the skirt. The necklace is from jewelmint.com which to me is a perfect match.

If possible, always check for ideas on how to dress and wear certain outfits. Just because it zips or bottoms up doesn't mean it fits or looks good. You can look in fashion magazine of check with someone at a clothing store while trying them on. My personal favorite fashion ideas come from Vogue, Elle, Cosmopolitan, Nylon, Allure, Vanity Fair and Essence magazines. Vogue and Elle magazines from July, Clothes from Talbots, New York & Company and Tommy Hilfiger.

PWhen picking out your outfits for the next on a professional fashionable level, always coordinate colors, hues, material etc. Your clothes don't have to match so much but don't make the colors too busy. 

Now since I lost over 40lbs, I've been enjoying dressing up for work. I haven't shopped in gowns stores since the late 90's and it really feels great when you can buy clothing that can fit and enhance your image. But I do have to remember that fashion comes in all sizes and that a person has to buy apparel that enhance your body.
