LISTICLE RUNDOWN: 41 Life-Changing Style Charts Every Woman Needs Right Now
This list made me just wanna post it and drop the mic on this Tumblr. I'm no quitter, though, so I'm gonna do the first part but not the second part. Here it is, digest it all (it's a lot) and come back next week for more of my wisdom: 41 Life-Changing Style Charts Every Woman Needs Right Now
LISTICLE RUNDOWN: The 8 Shoes Every Stylish Woman Should Own
Today we'll let Rachel Zoe fill our shoe rack: The 8 Shoes Every Stylish Woman Should Own
The Ankle-Strap Sandal I'm iffy on this, because the line the strap makes can "cut off" the legs of shorter women, making them appear shorter than they are. But if you are going to wear 'em with the cropped pants trend, you are already making that cut in a less obvious way, so give it a try!
The Oxford Shoe The easiest piece of menswear to feminize, just by pairing with a skirt!
The Neutral Pump AKA a "nude" pump, in this case "neutral" means it blends with your skin tone. They will make you look even taller by extending the appearance of your foot/leg, and can be dressed up or down.
The Snow Boot I live in Austin and don't travel to snowy places, so I'm going to bow out of this one. No doubt super cute with jeans!
The Flat Sandal Everyone down here is required to have a good pair of sandals (or two or three or...dozens perhaps) if you don't want to melt in the summer. The best kind you can wear to walk outside in all day long!
The Casual Sneaker Austin is the home of casual, so I've been rocking Chucks for years. Couldn't live without 'em!
The Red Pump YES! For when you need a quick dose of sexy, even if you are only brave enough to wear 'em around the house for your impromptu dance party!
The Ankle Bootie LOVE ANKLE BOOTIES!!! A great way to feel rock-n-roll in your everyday life!
LISTICLE RUNDOWN: 21 Very Necessary Style Tips For Tall Girls
We've covered petites, now let's move it on up! 21 Very Necessary Style Tips For Tall Girls
1. First things first: Embrace your height If it helps, I'm very jealous of your ability to reach things on tall shelves!
2. Start with foundational basics that fit. The longer shirt trend helps tall girls with this. I will also give an additional tip: Maternity is often made to be stretchy and long, and no one will know what section you bought it from but you.
3. Match your accessories. A nice idea for everyone, not sure why that's tall-specific.
4. For skirts that are an awkward midi length, wear them higher on your waist. This can also help balance your proportions. Below the knee or tea length are both great for tall girls, particularly since skirts designed for above-the-knee can turn into super-minis if your legs are long enough. Those two lengths are harder to pull off for average and petite girls, so rock it!
5. Try on everything. Yes. Or make sure they have a great return policy. Side note: Always ALWAYS try things on before you cut the tags. Even if it's something you've bought before. The cut may have changed, and some brands (*cough* Old Navy *cough*) don't consistently size with the same line in the first place.
6. To make pants that are too short seem intentional, make a small cuff and add a strappy heel. Wanna know a secret? I found a cute pair of jeans in petite recently at a great price, so I bought 'em and will use 'em to embrace this current cuff trend. It's always a good idea to bare a bit of ankle if you want to show off heels or sandals.
7. To give your body balance, add a belt to your natural waist. Good advice for most folks. If you are short-waisted like me, you might want to belt a little lower to achieve a better balance.
8. Follow the three inch rule for heels. That's a 3 inch minimum, and I know that's going to be harder for some girls to handle, but they are right about the whole proportion thing.
9. For a maxi that isn’t quite ~long enough~ on you to be maxi length, tie both sides to make a cute no-sew midi. I've never thought of this. I'm intrigued.
10. Find a good tailor. And only buy things that need tailoring if you actually plan to USE them. Otherwise, it'll hang in your closet unworn, a waste of money and space. (I speak from experience here!)
11. Think outside the box. If you only learn two things from this blog, they should be 1) balanace and 2) comfort. Not only comfy fabrics and fits, but mental comfort and ease in what you are wearing. If you exude those feelings, your confidence will be evident to all.
12. Don’t shy away from prints and patterns. Everyone can wear prints! Just be careful at choosing small prints, because they can create the illusion of being larger than you are.
13. If you’re tall with broad shoulders, try wearing clothes that balance out the top and bottom of your body. This is presented with no further instruction, so I'll give a hint: Look into hourglass figure styles, which tend to nip in at the waist.
14. Know your measurements. Advice I need to take. I've no idea what mine are at this point.
15. And the measurements of the models! If you are ordering online or from catalogues, this is key.
16. Rock a jumpsuit. This is something that really only tall girls can really do, so go for it!
17. Embrace the three-quarter sleeve. Three-quarter sleeves for everyone!
18. Steer clear of super low rise jeans. I'm not sure if anyone can wear super-lows that's older than about fifteen - if you have any butt at all, it's not gonna work out.
19. Shop tall brands and collections! Well, yeah!
20. Or have clothes custom-made. Not likely to be an affordable option for most folks - go get that tailor instead!
21. And avoid the dryer at all costs. Or at least read the tags on new clothes before you wash 'em, which is good advice for all shapes and sizes if you want your clothes to keep fitting those shapes and sizes. (Yep, another personal experience!)
LISTICLE RUNDOWN: The New Rules Of Statement Dressing
Rachel Zoe's team continues to report from the various fashion weeks, and threw together an interest list from Paris: The New Rules Of Statement Dressing
Coordinate varying hues of the same color. Solange is an expert in mixing patterns and textures of the same color. I would say for the average person this will be more doable with neutrals - black, white, etc - because finding all the pieces in the same color will be much easier.
A body-con dress can be tasteful. True, and this is a great example. "Tight" can be quite classy with a high neck and longer skirt. In fact, if I hadn't said the word "tight," would you have noticed it was?
Don't be afraid of mixing prints. Took me a minute to find the second print, since animal print is often considered a neutral. This is one of those "balance" times - if you decide to go with two prints, one should be "big" while the other is "small."
Elevate casual pants with well-chosen additions. Not like this. Not ever ever ever like this.
Fancy footwear is a casual outfit's best friend. One of my favorite tips, and a great excuse to bring out your fave shoes on less-than-special occasions!
Subtle embellishments add interest to a monochromatic ensemble. This is again a mixing of textures, and it's a great idea. In fact, if you are going with a single color, it's essential for pulling off the look.
A blazer adds polish to an otherwise daring getup. The classic technique for covering up for dinner with a big reveal for the dancing later that night!
LISTICLE RUNDOWN: 10 Accessories That Never Go Out Of Style
Let's talk accessories! 10 Accessories That Never Go Out Of Style
First of all, as you look at this, disregard the price tags on the items and look at them for what they are, because "economic" to Rachel Zoe may not mean the same as it does to you. I promise you can find these items at any price point. Also I confess, I like this list because it validates my style and some of my recent purchases! So, bearing that in mind, here we go:
1. Luxe Messenger I carry a big bag myself, but I prefer totes. Cross-body sounds great, and it's probably better for my back, but I don't like things breaking up the lines of the rest of my ensemble.
2. Embellished Belt I grew up in a very belt-y time (late 80's/early 90's) and I'm struggling to get back into it. I think an embellished skinny belt is probably the best one to try.
3. Wide-Brim Hat I'll let Portlandia handle this: [insert video link]
4. Biker Boots LOVE my biker boots. Combat boots are also trendy right now BTW, with the return of the 90's, but biker boots are more likely to stay "in" more of the time.
5. Patterned Scarf I have a bit of a scarf addiction, so YES. Read my tips on scarves here: [insert tumblr link]
6. Black Mascara Never goes out of style, ever.
7. Layering Jewelry I think people believe this to be harder than it is. Stick with similar tones (gold with gold etc) and it's really hard to go wrong. Let Iris be your guide! [insert tumblr link]
8. Neutral Pumps Finally, after all these years, I just bought my first pair. Now I gotta figure out where to wear 'em!
9. Tortoise Shades Love love LOVE tortoise frames, for work and for play!
10. Gold Sandals These look like a million bucks on tanned summer feet!
LISTICLE RUNDOWN: Winter Street Style From The Fall 2015 Shows
Before I get started, I realized I've never explained something. The couture fashion shows held last month are the "Fall 2015" fashion shows. Basically, the idea is that everyone is showing their designs for six months from now. So the shows in September will be for "Spring 2016" rather than the season they are actually in. Make sense?
Okay, now that the title of this list is explained, let's take a look! Winter Street Style From The Fall 2015 Shows
Tip: Balance the boyish nature of oversize layers with a structured shirt in a feminine silhouette. I really can't emphasize "balance" enough. Pick one (maybe two) outsize things, in this case a huge coat, and then fitted and simple for everything else. It's really the best shortcut to appearing stylish that anyone can give you.
Tip: Layer a cozy knit under a vest. I do not get sleeveless coats. If you choose to wear one, by all means wear a sweater so you don't get frostbite on your arms.
Tip: Belt your jacket at the hip instead of the waist. I'm just not down with this one, sorry. Honestly, the example looks silly to me.
Tip: Layer a couple of coats for a bold, chic and—most importantly—warm outcome. As someone who is always freezing, I really want to try this. I think the key is to have a more fitted coat underneath, and color coordinate.
Tip: Stripes are a cool-girl go-to that instantly add interest to an outfit. They're also the perfect print choice when mixing and matching patterns. LOVE stripes. And they really are the "neutral" of patterns, so the idea of using them as the base for bringing in another pattern or two is genius.
Tip: Infuse your outfit with a pop of glam by adding a faux-fur accessory in a fun hue. Faux fur FTW!
Tip: Add shape to a bulky winter coat by belting it at the waist. This really looks great in the example - go for it!
Tip: Liven up a practical, otherwise simple, cold-weather ensemble with a vibrant knit. Again, balance!
Tip: Elevate any winter look via eye-catching add-ons. I'm assuming they mean the shiny shoes. I will never be against shiny shoes.
Tip: Forgo a monochrome coat for a whimsical, printed option. For sure, though I recommend neutrals like this for the print so it will coordinate with more ensembles.
Tip: Layer an oversize faux-fur coat over a formfitting jacket. More faux! And a repeat (layering) on the list!
Tip: Amp up an all-black outfit with a boot rendered in an exotic skin. Reptile has been hot for awhile now. Go faux for this, too!
Tip: Pairing stripes with stripes yields a perfectly polished outcome. I had to search for the second striped item - that scarf is subtle! Another repeat (a stripe with other patterns).
Tip: Make like a street-style star by doubling up on faux-fur, statement-making pieces. Eh, I don't recommend it.
Tip: Wear your favorite booties with ankle socks. Normally I'd say no, but I have to admit it looks cute here. Risky but could be worth a try!
Tip: Add visual interest to a monochromatic outfit with a textured separate. YES. Also, this entire outfit needs to get in my closet.
Tip: Feminize a duster coat by wearing it with a cute minidress. Good advice, though I'm not a fan of the example.
Tip: Pair pleats with vertical stripes for an elongating effect. Another one I think would be hard to pull off.
Tip: A hint of print takes a drab winter ensemble to fab in a flash. Definitely!
Tip: Layer leather pants under a dress for added warmth—and a dose of edge. Leather pants are really shiny leggings, which are really thick tights. So okay, worth a shot.
LISTICLE RUNDOWN: 33 Killer Closet Staples — For Work And Life
Last week we talked body shapes, now let's put in action with this: 33 Killer Closet Staples — For Work And Life
Hourglass - Pencil Skirts The emphasis here is on tailored skirts - think the Mad Men wiggle skirt but less tight/wiggly.
Small Chest - Button-down Shirts Make sure you move around in the shirt - do some butterfly strokes and flap your wings about - to confirm it won't gap. I speak from experience that even a woman who isn't particularly busty can have a hard time finding women's oxford shirts that fit over the girls properly.
Apple - Sheath Dress You can even take it a step further - this is where you could use a belt to create a smaller appearing waist in the boxy dress.
Pear - Wide-Legged Pants I don't agree with this one. Wide-legged pants coming off of wider hips can make for a massive-in-appearance bottom half. I would go with straight-legged pants instead.
Long Torso - Belted Shirt Dress Belt for the win! (Again!)
Busty - Waist-Buttoning Blazer Another one to be careful with - just having the button at the navel doesn't mean the top won't gap. This is another problem I've faced with my aforementioned smaller bust, and I've seen it happen to bustier friends. Try it on and make sure it's cut and pieced properly. This is another time where flapping about in the dressing room isn't a bad idea!
Ballerina - Turtleneck Slim Dress This category might as well be called "fashion model" instead of "ballerina." There's nothing on this list that won't fit that body type.
Ruler - Double-Breasted Blazer As they mention, this is another category that has a lot of options.
Petite & Compact - Wrap Skirt A good idea, though you may still need to use a tailor to get the length right.
Carrot - Print Pants Excellent idea, go for it!
Short Torso - Sleeveless Vest I have a short torso and...um...no.
