All we know, the picture has become very important because it reflects our personality, our likes and even what we want. So there seems to be more fashion consultants to tell us what is good and the latest trends. However, this work can do for ourselves by putting only a little attention around us.

1. Discover your colors

Each one of us, according to the tone of our skin, has its own color palette, ie those tones that remain particularly well and enhanced. The first thing to know is if you’re warm or cold. A good way to find out is if you is better gold or silver. For the former, would you sit warm yellows, oranges and reds. If you look better silver, are cold and so your tunes are blues, grays and purples.

But maybe all this makes you a bit complicated. The best way to discover what your color is to do a simple test. Take garments of different shades, from white, yellow, red, turquoise, etc.., And planted in the mirror. Put them under your face and see the effect on you. Some will give you the same, with notice that you enlighten others and others will tarnish. Remember While each of the colors, begins to make those on your purchases that make you shine.

But if advice is stay away at least occasionally pastels or neutral colors. If you noticed that your wardrobe is filled with pieces of black clothing, Dare to change! Try some hot pink, electric blue with a red or causes.

2. Czech magazines and inspirat

The problem is that many times we were caught in a time or in a style particular. Do you love the cowboy? Since then only you are happy with a pair of jeans and you’re almost their prisoner. The best way to soak up the news is starting to look at fashion magazines, but not with a quick glance, but almost professional.

Eye! Do not start thinking “I do not like to be that model“.  The trick is knowing fashion suit yourself, not to copy the outfits complete. Rather, it is see what the designers are launching to the market and how they combine the celebrities (this is important) to select what you serve. If you have questions about publications that can help you, some good choices include Vogue, Elle, Maire Claire, In Style and Cosmopolitan.

3. Be inspired by celebrities

Who better to prove to them what we have better? Remember that celebrities live their image and therefore have an army of consultants who tell them how to dress for the event, body type, etc.. Choose your preferred style or one that has points in common with your appearance and begins to follow it! Recognize how he leverages his figure with the clothes you wear.
For example, if you choose to British model Kate Moss , an icon of fashion as it is, you will see that is characterized by the use of cigarettes and fur coats. Casual, yet elegant!

How can forget Victoria Beckham as a role model as far as fashion is concerned? If all you want to become a “lady”, Vicky will give the proposal you need. High heels, tight dresses and black, are always outstanding as part of their total diva image.

In particular, I adore Jessica Alba, an actress who knows Latin origins of glamor and comfort. In their daily lives, loves jeans and boots and dresses Fitted waist. Never forget the accessories like a nice scarf or a hat.

Did you like their looks? Look at the celebrities and selects those that will be your source of inspiration.

4. Do not neglect the details in fashion

Sometimes we believe that to be fashionable must have a large budget and actually what we should do is take advantage of our clothes , knowing how to combine them. Yes! You may have a black dress you’ve used dozens of times, but with different panties, necklace or bracelet extravagant, totally change her face.

 
Why not bring yourself to buy a different piece? Something I have not used often, but you may always provoked and you can combine in different outfits. It can be a striking scarf, a coat that will take your breath or a portfolio of fashion.

5. Be true to your style

Although the idea is to change your look to be fashionable, this should always be imbued with yourself. Maybe the pins are in fashion, but the model depends on you. Rule of thumb: never copy to copy!

Remember that if fashion is the “color block”, for example, you will decide what combinations and what colors to use. Will those with whom you feel comfortable and well. So before you buy, try on things, if not convince you when you’re in the store, the less you do when you’re home. Not all trends are made ​​for one, the advantage we have now is that there are so many at the same time, some will be just perfect for you.

What Does “Black Tie” Mean Today?

Ah, a sewing dream fulfilled! I’ve been invited to a Black Tie event. Here are the crucial deets: it is a gala which will take place at MoMA, and there will be a cocktail hour, dinner, and various speeches and presentations. No dancing. (Drat!)

The trouble is, now that I have this event to sew for, I feel absolutely paralyzed by the idea of Black Tie. What the heck does it mean today, anyway? I’ve read that, for women, it can vary from short cocktail dresses all the way to long ballgowns and furs. I have a tendency to be overdressed generally, and I don’t usually mind. But the idea of being in a ballgown while everyone else is wearing LBDs is slightly horrifying.

Also: what to sew? There is an evening gown included in Vogue’s New Book for Better Sewing, and this really seems like the perfect time to bust out that pattern. But there’s a niggling little problem: I don’t particularly love the design. I’d always imagined myself making it and then just flouncing about the apartment in it. Not at a gala event at MoMA. Here’s the envelope illustration, which is fine, if a little “Glinda the Good Witch.”


The photo definitely verges on dowdy.

If you follow me on Twitter (yes, that was a shameless plug to get you to follow me on Twitter), you’ll know I’ve been brainstorming ways to spice it up a little bit. Black and white houndstooth? With a fuchsia underskirt? Perhaps awesome, perhaps too much.

So anyway, I’m facing great dilemmas and I know you’re an opinionated bunch. (That’s why I love you!) Make the VoNBBS pattern for this event or not? Go full ball gown or just cocktail dress? Lay it on me!
