What Not To Do When Buying Shoes

May 28, 2006 @ 9:06 am · Filed under Fashion, Clothing

The biggest mistake women make when buying shoes is not trying the pair in question on both feet. You wear shoes on both of your feet, so you should try on shoes on both of your feet. Most individuals do not have matching feet and usually one foot is a noticeable amount larger—or even longer—than the other. Next time you visit your local shoe shop, be sure you try on both shoes and take a walk or two to see if you should purchase the shoes. Everyone has at least one pair of shoes in the back of the closet that were bought on the spur of the moment decision that either do not fit or hurt too badly to wear anymore.

What Your Clothes Say About You – the Good, Bad & Ugly

May 28, 2006 @ 9:02 am · Filed under Fashion, Clothing

A person’s wardrobe is perhaps the best way to find out about their personality. You can quickly tell if a person is shy and quiet or loud and attention seeking just by looking at what they are wearing. Generally speaking, an individual who wants to blend into the crowd will not don a hot, sexy, and super-short dress. Furthermore, a loud and outgoing person will generally not wear a simple ho-hum sweater set. Before you choose your outfit for the day, think about how you want other people to see you and interpret your personality.

Second Wedding Dress - Encore Brides Don’t Settle for Second Best!

May 28, 2006 @ 8:50 am · Filed under Fashion, Clothing

GONE are the days when the second time bride known as the “encore bride” has to settle for scaled down ceremonies with fewer guests.

With over 45% percent of all weddings today involving one or both partners who have been married before, it’s difficult to tell from the attire whether the modern bride is marrying for the first or umpteenth time. In fact, the modern bride who is lucky enough to find love again is trampling on the old traditions. Now their wedding is based on their taste and their budget. With the motto being: “This is the last time, and it’s got to be the best.”

Baby Clothes - Why Cotton is a Good Choice

May 28, 2006 @ 8:48 am · Filed under Fashion, Clothing

One of the most important considerations when selecting baby clothes is the fabric. While we all want to dress our babies in clothes that are cute, stylish and fit well, we sometimes overlook the most basic element — how will these feel against my baby’s skin.

This is where cotton really shines. First, cotton is soft. Of course, like anything, there are many different kinds of cotton and many different grades.

Women’s Business Fashion – A Man’s Point of View

May 28, 2006 @ 8:46 am · Filed under Fashion, Clothing

True story:  My office is on one of the top floors of our building.  One day I took the elevator to the ground floor, as I am in the habit of doing on occasion.  I was hoping for an express trip, but it was not to be.  The car stopped after only two or three floors and two young ladies entered the car.  I was praying they might be visitors to the building, but their employee badges were in plain sight.  Why did I hope they were not fellow coworkers?  Because of the way they were dressed – or maybe I should say, the way they weren’t dressed.  “Business casual” was overstating the very low-cut tops, short tight skirts, and caked-on makeup these two young girls were wearing.  I was uncomfortable in their presence and found the ceiling fan in the elevator suddenly fascinating.  I couldn’t, however, ignore their giggly, bubbly conversation, focusing on one girl’s encounter with a man who was obviously interested in only one thing from her.  Thankfully, the elevator finally reached the lobby, and we all exited.  A few men were waiting to get on the elevator, and I noticed that every single one of them looked at these two young ladies as they left.  The girls noticed too, and one of them exclaimed, “See what I mean?  I hate it when men look at me like that!”
