Plaid

With plaid being back in are people going to be looking like lumber jacks all the time? I know it is comfortable and warm but how are people going to avoid looking like there on the river riding the logs? People will have to accessorize the right way. Wearing solid suit vest won't do it on there own. The shirt needs to be the right size.

Unless you are wearing the plaid at home as your pj's than wearing an over sized shirt is not gonna work. I have seen many women walking around with these paid shirts. Although the colors that look fantastic with their skin tones. They don't fit. And it completely kills their outfit. The colors do wonderful things to peoples moods. Put people in good spirits kind of warm like holidays.

Mixing the plaids is an absolute no no. If you are going to wear plaid make sure if you are wearing another element to your outfit that has plaid or a patterned fabric you match the patterns. Mixing patterns with a busy fabric like plaid is gross and if you do it by accident you should change right away.

Be Careful: Its time for the fun Colors of Fall.

Oranges, muted reds, blacks and browns are the always popular colors of fall. This makes me feel some what limited in what I wear but at the same time it lets me be creative in choosing the proper outfit for an event or just for going out with friends.

I have always been a fan of layering and fall provides every occasion for doing so. The contrasting colors that go together ever so well really make me enjoy getting dressed for the day. Wearing a the brown and white thermal shirts under any short sleeve tee shirt or polo work for almost every occasion in the fall. Just warm enough for the outdoors and very breathable for the inside wear people question if its time for air conditioning or heat. Mixing any of the colors in the intro will do well with any thermal underneath.

As it gets closer to Halloween you may feel the need to start breaking out the popular pumpkin orange sweater this atrocious color of sweater is only acceptable if you during the period close to Halloween through thanksgiving but no other time. It is a very bold color to wear but often does not fit the attention that the often portly people are trying to get. The way to combat this attention is to mute it down with a dark brown sports coat making a statement but looking reserved in doing so.

Also with these wonderful colors you have to take into consideration that they are all bold and can often give the wrong impression or may just be to bold for that persons personality. When wearing clothes for the fall it is important to know that the more muted the better. But if you are looking to be noticed muted with a touch of bold is the way to go.

Tattoos Get Strange and Varying Reactions

I was at a wedding this weekend. And as usual the garden that it was in was decorated beautifully. As I watched in anticipation for the bride to walk down the Aile I got distracted by the extremely large tattoos on all of the brides maids arms and backs. This just looked extremely trashy to me with tattoos sticking out and over powering the dress that they were wearing. I realize and respect the art that is involved in the art of tattoos but I could not take my eyes off of it. Even after the bride had walked down the Aile I was distracted. Part of the reason it bothered me so much is because my father leaned over next to me and said something about it. I didn't notice it before.

After the ceremony it was brought up by one of my aunts who is extremely liberal. She was disgusted by them. Is there just a stigma that the older generation holds about tattoos or is it really just a sign of the low class. I often find myself stunned by the ink people are wearing now. Some of it being beautiful designs and some of it being extremely trashy. How can someone know which one they have. I do think if you do have something so important you should be proud of the design and show it off. But there is a time and a place.

People need to learn how to cover it up for situations that call for special events that need a little more formal look. One solution would be to get a tattoo in a place wear it is easy to cover up with many different outfits. They don't go with every look people need to understand that. The only times it goes is if you are going for that ruff around the edges artsy person or a rugged hard type of person. Any other time it is not appropriate. Unless going casual then its up in the air.

Pants to Short to be Cool

Sometimes people do not get pants that are long enough. I hate this. People that do this just look goofy and like they do not know how to dress themselves. This fashion foe pas has been sticking it's head out all of the place. The majority of people who where pants that are too short for them are researching, analytical, and educational fields usually in the science, history, and computation and record keeping fields. The problem here is there lack of fashion guidance. Someone needs to take charge and figure out how to inform them about the proper length and a frame of reference of wear at minimum pant length.

Pants need to unless they are skinny jeans need to cover at least the top part of the tongue of a shoe or to about an inch lower than your ankle meets your foot. These tips should provide the proper length without question. Also finding a proper tailor can also guarantee that you will not look like a fool when you wear pants.
