Closets can acquire clothes at alarming rates and some times it seems like there is still nothing to wear. By organizing the closet you will be able to take inventory of all of your clothing and determine essentials that may be missing. You will also purge your clothing, shoe and accessory inventory making room for more and the ability to organize your clothing in a way that you will able to make better connections and appreciation for what you do have. It may be a daunting task but the results will be rewarding. The first step is to take all of you clothes out of the closet.<br />
<br />
Next sort you clothes into various piles. These may include clothes that you will be giving to charity, your friends, throwing away or using for rags. Consider selling select items on the internet or consignment stores. It is recommended that clothes, shoes, undergarments, etc. that haven’<span lang="EN">t been worn in a year be disposed of. At this time you can also sort your clothing into separate colours and into piles for tops and piles for bottoms. As well it is recommended that you sort through accessories and undergarments, disposing of what you won</span><span lang="EN-CA">’</span><span lang="EN">t be wearing and what</span><span lang="EN-CA">’</span><span lang="EN">s to keep and organize.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN">The next step is to plan your wardrobe placement. Keep a separate spot for outerwear, find a separate spot for off season clothing and also designate a spot for future repairs. Analyze your clothing to see what you need to fold and what you need to hang. At this time take inventory of everything that you have and carry this in your purse to help you make smarter purses. After you have fit your clothing back into your closet find a separate spot for accessories. You will enjoy your accessories more if they are displayed. When you are ready to return your undergarments to home consider using a separate drawer for socks, bras and underwear. If you cannot use a separate drawer find dividers to better organize your undergarments.</span><br />
<br />
<span lang="EN">Next step back and take a look. Rearrange anything that you may have missed. This could also be a time to consider upgrading your storage. You could use under bed storage, drawer organizers, drawer dividers and clear shoe boxes. <br />

<span lang="EN"> Finding your seasonal colour is one tool to find your best look. There are a few way to find out what your seasonal colour is. First we need to find your undertone. One way to do these is by determining whether gold or silver brings out your skin. If gold is the colour than you have warm undertones and are either a spring or fall. If silver is the colour that highlights your feature than your undertones are cool and you are either a summer or winter. Another way to determine this is by studying you skin tone and if you have peach or gold undertones you have warm undertones and once again you are either a spring or fall. If you have pink or bluish you have cool undertones you are either a summer or winter.<br />
<br />
Then how do you determine whether you are a spring or fall, summer or winter. If you are a spring you will have strawberry blond or light auburn hair and if you are a fall you will have true red, auburn or copper hair. As a summer you have a gentle contrast between your hair and skin colour. As a winter you have a drastic contrast between your hair and skin colour.<br />
<br />
<u>Spring</u></span><br />
<span lang="EN"><u><br />
</u>As a spring it is best to wear rich warm colours. For outerwear, suits, pants and jackets choose green, browns and warm shades of purple.</span> <br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN"><u><strong>The Bra</strong></u></span></div><br />
<span lang="EN"><span style="font-family: Duchess;"><span style="font-family: Duchess;"> It is believed that seventy to eighty five percent of ladies wear the wrong size bra. Wow! Why would this number be so high? One reason could be that women buy the size that they wan rather than the one that fits. Our bodies are ever changing with weight fluctuations and this is always evident in the breast. With these changing weight fluctuations many women do not consider the importance of fitting our bras accordingly. Bra shopping can be a very difficult experience made even more difficult due to each country having a slightly different sizing system.<br />
<br />
The area of incorrect fit is in the both the band size and cup size.<br />
<br />
The solution to finding the right bra size can be in finding bras at a specialty shop and get professionally fitted. Some carriers do not carry a full range of sizes and therefore one need to find a specialty bra shop. A professional fitter will carry AA to K. When trying on bras you could also have a friend help point out that the band size and cup size is the right fit.<br />
When founding the right bra measurements are only a starting point. First measure around your rib cage directly below your bust and add a couple of inches and this becomes your band size. Then measure the fullest part of your bust. Subtract your band size and you will have you cup size according to the following chart. <br />

An important thing to remember when trying on bras is to try them on using the last hooks because as they relax you want to be able to tighten them. As well understand that band size and cup size compliment each other, when you need to change your band size you might need a different cup size to compensate for the change.

<br />
<u>Accenting The Waist</u><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> One of the most important places to accent is the waistline. Coco Chanel was certainly a pioneer in design but looking back at time she seemed to loose the importance of the waistline. No matter what your shape is the majority of the time is is best to emphasis a waist. Creating the waistline can be achieved by tucking in seperates, style lines and wearing a belt. A dress, top or swimsuit with a surplice design drawing the eye to the waist is also very effective in creating an attractive waistline. A fitted top can also emphasis the waist. Just one tip thoug if you wear an obvious belt, never wear a big necklace.</div><br />

<u>Accenting The Face</u><br />
<br />
Accenting the face is important because this is the most attractive and interesting part of all of us. As well accenting the face draws the eyes upward achieving the appearance of height. This is achieved by a statement necklace, statement earrings or a hat. Huge earrings bring all of the attention to your face with no need for a matching necklace. Long necklaces add length to a short neck and bring attention away from hips and to the front and center of your body. Wearing a scarf is also a great way to draw attention towards our face.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"> A statement bracelet helps to make the arms appear long, lean and slender.

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"> It has been said that a good quality pair of shoes can make any outfit look polished. Wear the hem of your pants so that they fall to the shoes and don't touch the ground or rise above. A knee length skirt will help to lengthen the legs and further show a great pair of shoes. Round toed high heeled give a perfect curve to your calf and don’t look trampy.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"> Help keeping your shoe wardrobe looking great by polishing shoes and throwing or giving away shoes not worn. In addition to the common black shoe consider variations of dark brown, tan, plum, red, rust and olive green. These colours are more complimentary and stylish than the basic black. Remember it is better to co-ordinate shoes to an outfit than match it. </div>Style Exposedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14785219503147515808noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6015202296451408457.post-17632075234012315972010-09-14T13:52:00.000-07:002010-09-21T10:54:11.503-07:00What Is Your Personal Style?<span lang="EN"></span><br />

<u>More On Shapes</u><br />
<br />
As yesterdays blog outlined, knowing how to dress for your body shape is one tool to looking the best everyday. Body shape can be determined by studying how proportional your top is to your bottom and by analyzing placement of curves. Body shapes are categorizes into sections. Six shapes were discussed and guidelines for tall and petites figures are also mentioned. The six shapes include triangle, also known as pear, inverted triangle, or top heavy, apple, with a round middle, hourglass, rectangle and oval. Being tall and petite, it is recommended that you also determine you body shape. <br />
<br />
<u>The Importance of the Best Fit and Taking Measurements</u><br />
Getting the right fit is for me the most important tool to get the best appearance. Having the right fit in our under garments, clothing and outerwear can help achieve a slimmer appearance. Due to varying body shapes we may have to alter our clothes to get the best fit. We will need to work with measurements. The following suggestions can guide us through the process:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL7tz-HLB2Gn82R5SJfhMsjxDW9UI7sbk2J3uTmWNkkTx5tL5lLghRA5Bxig6krIE_YjXZnCRZoVuX1455y9-G6Vh2MZq6VXIgOj60RSd2_NQkwMTS8Jd5SrdGo7t_Kkdeko2hwIjdX1k/s1600/measurements.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgL7tz-HLB2Gn82R5SJfhMsjxDW9UI7sbk2J3uTmWNkkTx5tL5lLghRA5Bxig6krIE_YjXZnCRZoVuX1455y9-G6Vh2MZq6VXIgOj60RSd2_NQkwMTS8Jd5SrdGo7t_Kkdeko2hwIjdX1k/s320/measurements.jpg" /></a></div>1. When measuring the bust, take 2 measurements, measure at the widest section of the bust and just under the bust, your rib cage. The rib cage measurement is your band size and the difference between the two becomes the cup size. More detail on this will be added in a post on lingerie. Perhaps a proper bara size is one of the best ways to appear slimmer.<br />
<br />
2. For the waist, measure the narrowest section. Keep in mind the pants often sit lower so adding a couple of inches to that will be your starting point when trying on most pants.<br />
<br />
3. When measuring center front, start at the nap which is the indent at the bottom of the neck and measure to the waist.<br />
<br />
4. The rise and inseam are two important measurements for pants. The rise is from the waist to the bottom of the under pant. The inseam starts at the bottom of the under pant, measuring the leg length to fold in the ankle.<br />
<br />
5. When measuring for jeans measure at the waist (narrowest part of the torso), at the hips(fleshiest part of the hips) the inseam and the rise.<br />
<br />
<u>Suggestions For All Body Types</u><br />
<br />
There are some guidelines that everyone can use while they are shopping for their optimum wardrobe. One of which is to accentuate your best features. Wearing bangles and bracelets puts the focus on the narrow part the arm. A necklace puts the attention to the neck and face drawing the eyes upward. The waist can be accentuated with a belt, while definition to the waist can be achieved with rouching. Style lines will draw attention to an area and the longer, wider or more repetitious a line the grater it’s influence in the total design. Keep in mind that folds also create lines and can add bulk. One thing to consider with lines is that repeated horizontal lines can add height and slimness. Try this effect on your body type.<br />
<br />
There are styles that will work on all body types. With pants wear straight leg trousers and boot cut pants. Straight leg trousers are great for anyone that wants to hide waist concerns. V necks and fitted turtle necks are also great for everyone. Surplice, which is a style line that wraps around the body, is a great look for everyone in tops, dresses and swimwear. When choosing dresses remember that corset, princess, sheath and slip dress fits all shapes.<br />
<br />
Keep in mind a few more details when finding your optimum style. A lower collar can lengthen a neckline whereas a wide collar adds width, for example a cowl neck suit longer necks. Wearing plaids the larger the plaid the larger the appearance of the area.<br />
<br />
Shown are four type of jeans.<br />

<br />
The first topic on style and fashion is on shapes and how to dress to achieve balance. The main shapes are triangle/pear, inverted triangle/ busty, apple/ round, hourglass and rectangle. Within the shapes there is also the challenge of the tall, petite and oval figure. For balance with tall, petite and oval figures you want to follow the principles of the shapes but I have added further suggestions.<br />
<br />
<u>Triangle</u><br />
