Fashion Tips

Fashion Tips
  • Try on all of your favorite clothes. Take notes on how they fit and flatter you. Then shop for similar colors, fabrics, shapes and lengths.
  • A great fit can make an outfit, just as a poor fit can break it!
  • A well-cut suit is one of the most flattering outfits you can own. Remember: dark tones create a long line.
  • Choose a fingertip length jacket or one that falls mid-hip. Pants should be straight leg or boot cut and the hem should be worn slightly long.
  • Select flat knit, fine rib and jersey tops; Choose pants with flapless pockets, flat fronts with just enough stretch for added comfort.
  • Know thyself - Know your proportions!
    Skinny bottom half? Wear a full top over narrow pants
    Short waisted? Wear a long top and short skirt
    Petite torso? Wear a fitted top with full pants
    Long waisted? Pair a short top with long bottoms

  • Show off the trimmest parts of your body by combining a tight fitting piece with a loose fitting one.
  • Any color worn head to toe in a clean, unbroken line will produce a dynamically slimming effect.
  • Don't worry if separates don't match exactly. Tonal variations are a creative alternative.
  • Taller bodies can take larger prints and more contrast.
  • The darker a print's background, the slimmer the look.
  • Blouses: a collared shirt always gives a torso a few good inches and frames the face handsomely.
  • A slim v-neck makes the neck appear longer and is usually very flattering.
  • Boatnecks are great for minimizing waists and hips, while maximizing sexy shoulders.
  • If your legs are fuller inside, try a side slit. If your legs are fuller outside, a mid-front or back slit is a better choice.
  • There is never an excuse for panty lines! A thong is a girl's best friend - they even come with tummy control.
  • Bright colors bring attention to an area - make sure you wear them wisely and only on your most flattering body parts.
  • A shoulder bag tucked quietly under the arm is most flattering.
  • Stilettos are back and in spite of the discomfort at times - they make your legs look like a million dollars!

    Benefits of Cotton in Home Fabrics

    Benefits of Cotton in Home Fabrics

    Benefits of Cotton in Home Fabrics Choosing Between Regular, Pima and Egyptian Cotton Sheets & Towels
    Without knowing exactly what to look for, consumers may end up buying inferior towels and sheets instead of getting linens that are soft to the touch and durable!

  • Not all cottons are created equally, and this certainly becomes apparent when shopping for towels and bedroom linens. By paying special attention to packaging and tagging, savvy consumers can quickly detect the exact quality of what they are about to purchase.
  • When towels and linens are made of 100% cotton, there are several noticeable advantages; the first and most important is easily seen in the softness of the fabric. By touch alone, shoppers can feel that pure cotton is much more supple and smooth to the touch than those made of a cotton blend.
  • The next advantage comes in the level of durability: 100% cotton sheets withstand years of washing, unlike their combo counterparts, which tend to break down over time. Cotton/poly sheets tend to ?pill?, when they are frequently washed and get those little balls of fabric that itch and irritate skin.
  • The third advantage comes in ?breathability?. 100% cotton allows for air to flow through the spaces between the stitches, which allows for natural body heat to regulate the temperature in the bed. On the contrary, the cotton/poly blends trap in body heat, which causes discomfort while sleeping. Although cotton/poly blends tend to be less wrinkled upon removal from the dryer, it is preferable to deal with a few wrinkles than to have to sleep on sheets that feel like stiff sandpaper and wear thin after a few washes.
  • For towels, these issues tend to be a bit more minimal than with sheets, but the main advantage to purchasing 100% cotton towels is that they are considerably more absorbent are softer to the touch, and they, as the sheets, have an increased level of durability.
  • For starters, as stated above, when purchasing towels and linens, always choose those that are made with 100% cotton as opposed to those created with a 60% cotton / 40% polyester blend; yes, it's cheaper, but it won't last nearly as long or feel nearly as luxurious when it touches your skin. The benefits will heavily outweigh any difference in price.
  • Once a shopper has determined that their towels or linens are, in fact, 100% cotton, it is time to differentiate between the types of cottons. Generally, there are three common types of cotton: regular, 100% cotton, pima cotton and Egyptian cotton.
  • The regular cotton, although it is the lowest grade of the cottons, still offers amazing quality. Regular cotton is easy to detect and is usually billed simply as ?100% cotton? on packaging or tags.
  • Pima cotton is grown in Arizona and other arid climates, and it is one step above the regular cotton; it offers additional softness and durability.
  • At the top of the cotton heap, so to speak, is Egyptian cotton. This cotton is by far the softest and the most durable, and the most sought after by those in search of a good night's rest or a soft towel with which to dry off.

    In conclusion, shoppers should be sure to carefully read the packaging and/or tags to ensure that they are buying what they think they are buying! Not paying attention to this detail may mean that consumers end up with inferior quality products that are designed to be the closest to their skin. In addition, once shoppers can identify the differences in the quality of cotton, they can better understand the price differences and rest assured that a higher price tag does, indeed, mean higher quality.
