Taming Trends

Trends are sometimes difficult to wear due to our different body shapes, tricky cuts and colors. Personalizing trends is one way to have them work FOR you and not against you for example: the nautical strips.

1. Look for a cut that works for your own body. V-necks are elongating & also break-up a broad chest. A boatneck t-shirt will balance a wider hip (be sure that it does not fall past the top of your hip). Scoop neck shirts enhance a bust line while sleeveless & halter tops showcase great arms & shoulders.

2. Add your individual touch. Couple the trend with your favorite accessory. The above Target shirt for $12.99 is shown here with white, cut coral necklace for $10 (a fabulous consignment store find). Worried about the horizontal lines widening your top half, offset it by throwing on a long necklace or solid color scarf.

Don't be scared of trends, tame them!

How To Get Sandie's Look

You will need the following:

1. A black dress
2. Red lip stick
3. Self tanner - my favorite right now is Jergens Natural Glow Self Tanning Daily Moisturizer
4. Nude pumps
5. Hair elastic

Take out your little black dress and review the hemline. Be sure that it does not fall past the knee. We want to lengthen the leg line with the help of self tanner and nude pumps. The nude pump will blend into your leg and extend it that much more. Stay away from ankle straps, so there is one continuous line from the hem of the dress to the tip of your shoe. Apply a red lip, straighten & slick your hair back into a clean ponytail, the result smokin hot.
