LASM’s Top Ten Fashion “Do’s” May 1, 2008

I think that Julie Christie is perfection in every sense of the word. She’s one of my all time favorite, timeless, style icons. She inspires me. Here is a list of fashion ‘do’s that won’t turn you into Julie Christie, but you just might find them inspiring. LASM

1. Leave the kids at home when you go shopping. Taking your time and being able to focus, allows you to avoid buying random things in a rushed manner.

2. Try things on. Even though you think you know your ‘number,’ no two pieces of clothing are cut exactly alike.

3. Build on your existing wardrobe. Take a mental inventory of what’s in your closet and add to it, instead of having to buy an entire outfit every time.

4. Know what looks good on your body. If you have 38 double D’s? You do not look good in that tube top.

5. Dress appropriately for your age. I cannot stress the importance of this ENOUGH. If you’re pushing 40, you shouldn’t have ‘Juicy’ written across your ass.

6. Invest in one, good, versatile handbag. Even if you carry it every day, it’s better than having 25 cheap ones.

7. Wear things that are comfortable. A big part of looking good is feeling confident.

8. Have things tailored. The difference a good fit makes is exponential.

9. Buy a few trendy pieces each season. Accessories are a good bet since they aren’t a huge investment and can be added to what you already have.

10. Know what your best assets are and play them up!
