Style Tips

I am the last person you want to ask for fashion and style advice.  Since having kids, the style part of my brain is damaged:)  I have been trying to take the time to get dressed in anything other than sweatpants and wear makeup.  After I started trying a little harder to look more like a female again, I heard a radio program on Moody Radio, Midday Connection.  They had a special speaker on named Jill Swanson.  She is a fashion consultant and has written a book with fashion advice, "Simply Beautiful".  She focuses on how to bring your inner beauty out and how to highlight your best features.  You can check out her website jillswanson.com for more info.  I also checked her out on You Tube.  She has a video on how to wear scarves.  She has some really cute ideas.  Some of the advice she gave was to wear rounder shapes if you have a more curvy figure and the opposite if you are less curvy.  For example, wear rounded necklines and no stripes if you are curvy.  Stripes and v-necks are great for those with pencil shapes.  The same goes for your jewelry, round shapes for us curvy gals and more geometric shapes for thinner folks.  Also if you have long, more dainty legs, wear dainty shoes.  If you have thick legs, wear thicker soles and chunkier shoes.  It looks more uniform.  I have been following her advice and I really think I look more presentable.  I also just feel more feminine.  You can sign up for a free newsletter on Jill's website.  Happy fashion ladies.
