Tips for Casual Dress

By -
Dressing casually should not be a problem. America has a long history of casual sportswear. So why do most Americans think casual means baggy jeans and a logo tee shirt? No! If you would wear something to paint your house, do not wear it to meet your friend for coffee or take your dog to the park. Both your friend and your dog deserve better than your chorey best.

Change your pants. Instead of standard blue jeans, reach for colored or patterned jeans. Even if you're still wearing a plain white tee with them, it will instantly look like you put great thought into your outfit.

Consider a skirt. Skirts are undervalued as casual attire in America (at least in the Midwest), but skirts are available in comfy jersey, cotton and denim. Put a skirt with a casual top, flats, and minimal jewelry.

Get a drawstring dress. A drawstring waist, common on sweatpants, is ultra casual. Put a drawstring waist on a dress and you have casual without the stink of the gym.

I admit to wearing jeans fairly often. They're warm, modest, comfortable, and since I have two children, very easy to clean. But another nice alternative is colored corduroys. I have some in kind of a faded wine color. I may go shopping for more.

Jeans are awesome, but it's easy to make them a habit. The one downside with jeans is if you feel like wearing a slubby top, your whole look appears sloppy.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at ...

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
