Recently, I told you gals about my style changes that included a funky short, blonde hairdo and a return to my edgier side. I am finding that just the hair change alone is giving me a spark for life that I haven’t felt for a long time. It’s amazing to me how much different you can feel when you have the right appearance on the outside.
For some women (even me) changing their look can be a scary thing. We get comfortable with what we see in the mirror and assume that others feel the same way when they look at us. So, why should we change? For me it’s about being creative and allowing self-expression. Your reason may be something completely different.
Hey, Ladies, I wanted to let you know that I had the opportunity to write a guest post at A Mom In Red High Heels. It’s a story that details my adventure in finding the perfect red shoes for the DC Hair Loungegrand opening party last weekend. Please visit her site and check it out. She is a mom and blogger whom I respect immensely.
When it comes to showing the world who you are on the inside you may have no trouble. However, the outside dawning of a style that compliments what’s going on in your mind and heart tends to plague even the most confident of women. Portraying a personality, whether it be fun-loving or somewhat demure, takes a little thought and planning.
Although the terms “health” and “fashion” may not be commonly used together right now, I believe we will soon see a deluge of “organic/healthy” clothing and accessories that takes us to a new era of living healthy and looking great while doing it. Since I’d like to see every woman consider the “Be Well-Be Beautiful” concept as a lifestyle, I thought we could take a look at some of the products that are currently offered in the market.
The hot weather can be great for family outings and pool parties, but keep in mind that it can also require a different approach to dressing, beauty, and safety. The following tips will help you keep cool, healthy, and looking your best on days that rise above 80°.
1. Do find out from a professional hairstylist what cuts and colors suit your head/face shape, hair texture, and maintenance capabilities. Don’t fight it – go with it!
1. Don’t forget that fit is more important than style. If you wear something because it’s your favorite color or it’s trendy, just remember to choose pieces that flatter your body type and really fit you well.
1. Don’t wear flip-flops or mules when it’s raining; the flipping motion of the shoes will splatter the backs of your legs with water and whatever else in which you step. I never did this again after ruining a good pair of white pants.
2. Don’t sweat the little out-of-place hairs. Today’s natural-looking trends not only permit but even encourage styles that are not perfect. It’s okay to be a little un-done.
1. Do own one timeless dress.
2. Don’t think layering is just for winter; this fashion key is hip all year long.
3. Don’t ever wear anything that could pass for country curtains or a bedspread.
4. Do find the impressive array of colorful, textured, and classy bags at http://www.dillards.com. Pictured at upper left, Antonio Melani “Louise” Shopper, $219.
