Fashion nightmares.. the things that never should have been
I am so grateful some days that I have reached my older years. Especially when I am left to look at some of the fashion choices of today's society.
What happened to modesty and leaving some things to the imagination?? But as confusing as those are my friends at The Daily Dose of Reality touched on a subject today that continues to leave me scratching my head. So instead of telling you about their post just go over and check them out by clicking their name. Go on I know you want to... but please, like the above photo... don't just don't.....

I am not 20 anymore
It really is not something one would care to admit, is it? I mean in reality we would like to believe that we still can look good in anything, especially the 'trends' for the next season. But let's be realistic. How many of those trends do you actually like ? My guess is possibly one or two would you be able to feasibly work into your fall line up.
We like to look that is human nature, to ooh and ahh at the pretty and whimsical things that catch our eye. But when it comes down to it most of us stick with what we know to be long lasting practical fashion sense. We don't consider ourselves fashionistas or even fashion forward. Being that way is fine, but learn to shake things up a bit.
It is amazing what a simple pop of color can do to a typically brown or black fall outfit. While I love the look of an oversized sweater with jeans and the too cute boots, reality is those too cute boots don't like my larger sized calf muscles. Trust me I tried to lose weight and two places held their ground. My boobs and my calves. The more I walked the bigger the calves got. While I love the fact that I have nice legs and strong muscles in them. I would be a liar to say I didn't envy the girls would could get on those darling boots with the fringe top that goes to their knees. Sighs. But that is the body I am dealing with.
So while I can't always pull of the latest fashion, nor do I always want to, I can make some small changes to basics that are always in style to add pop and flair.
Add a brightly colored scarf to that outfit that has the too cute sweater you have had for 5 years and never goes out of style, use it around your neck or better yet to make a fun belt to accent the waist . If you are big busted like I am layer it around you to lessen the size of your chest, because I know how self conscious I can be when I know those are standing all out in front.
Find something that flatters your style and it doesn't have to be form fitting, because trust me that does not work for every frame or person, nor does it work in most cases.
Add some jewelry pop with beautiful earrings or a big fun necklace and bracelets.
Fashion is not always what the industry says it is.
Fashion is what you choose to wear that makes you feel sexy, beautiful and most of all comfortable.
