How to Wear a Maxi Dress

Maxi dresses are doing so well in the market but it can be difficult to put out these trendy dresses. It is one the

fashion dress craze right now that can be found in every boutique, from thrifty stores to boutiques, from low end to

upscale style designers like Gypsy 05. Some body conscious women may think a maxi dress is a good way to conceal their

shape and hide unsightly thunder thighs, but in truth it can look like a mumu with the wrong print or cut.

I always love a good maxi dress. These dresses are light, airy, free, boheiam and in style, but most of all they're just

plain comfy. They're also the best cover up for fashionable mommies to be. The great thing about a maxi dress is that it's

meant to be casual and worn out and about with leather flats or cork heels, but it can be dressed up for evening wear as

well. If you've got the courage and style to carry a maxi dress, now is the time to go for it! The few things to look for

when shopping for a maxi:

1) Cut is key! For all those busty gals out there, pay attention not just to the cups but to the waist. It's not

uncommon for a girl who's bigger on top to have the seam of an empire top or dress ride up too high, and that can

especially happen when you're wearing a maxi dress. Since most long maxi dresses are long baby doll dresses, most have a

high waist line. See to it that the waist is still intact even if it has an empire style or with a belt. Be weary of the

cup sizes as well, of course, because you don't want the girls spilling out everywhere! Don't over trim a too-long

hemline, it will only look odd. It IS a maxi dress after all!

2) Be weary of prints. Avoid busy prints on your maxi dress, you know the type that can make someone else nauseas or go

blind because of neon colors. Prints in general, especially large figures, tend to make people look bigger, so a wide

skirt plus a large print is a huge no-no! A more subtle print in soft pastel colors can be very pretty, but when in

doubt, stick to a solid colored maxi dress, which is still just as chic.

3) Go crazy with accessories! Solid colored maxi dress are the simplest article of clothing to to accessorize. Maxi dresses can also be paired with long necklaces, especially the hot statement necklaces of the moment; long pendants look great with long dresses as well. Scarves are a great pairing for a maxi dress as well, and attention grabbing handbags. When in doubts whether to wear those trendy sandals, try it on with maxi dress to be even a bit trendier.

Try an inexpensive solid colored maxi dress if you're having second thoughts of wearing one. You can wear it as a cover up

to your beach or pool swim wear that can give a trial wearing. If you've decided that this longer style of a dress is not your desire then cut it just above knee level and redesigned it to a short, sassy and sunny mini dress. Just try it and enjoy the outcome.

Skinny or Flare Jeans?

I just bought a narrow cork heel shoe and I need a matching jeans with the heels. So I was wondering, Which kind of jeans will match best with the heels? Skinny or Flare jeans? And which style is more in now-a-days? Thanks. I really appreciate the helps.

I would go for the skinny leg jeans because they will show off your shoes. Flare jeans won't let everyone see them!

Skinny leg jeans are really cute, but if you don't own a pair, you might want to wear your shoes and go try some on. Depending on your body type, you may not like the way the skinny fit looks, and you may want to go for a boot cut. The boot cuts are skinny, but not so skinny at the ankle.

It also really depends on the top you're planning on wearing with your shoes. Skinny leg jeans look great with a larger, flowy top. Again, depending on your body type, skinny jeans look great with fitted shirts too. If you have hips and you plan on wearing skinny jeans, you may want to go for a more flowing top. Skinny jeans enhance your hips and make them look bigger (at least that's Tyra says...).

I would definitely try the skinny jeans on with your shoes, and wherever you go, ask the salesperson what tops would look best with your shoes and skinny jeans. If you want to show off your shoes, I'd go with the skinny!!!

The back strap of my new open toed-sling backs shoes keep sliding down. Is there a way I can fix this?

They are brand new and this is the first time I'm wearing them. I walk about 15 steps and the strap slides off my heel. There is no buckle to tighten. Any help is appreciated.

I'm not a fan of slingbacks myself. Prefer backless. If you cant fix it I'd cut them off.

Spike Heel

An Insight Into High Heel Shoes

High heel shoes refer to a pair of fashionable women`s footwear which raises the wearer`s feet significantly higher than their toes. High heeled footwear creates an aesthetically taller, slender and more toned figures. They are available in a diverse range of styles and shapes like stilettos, pumps, blocks, tapered, wedge and blade.

According to fashion icons, a heel which is above 8.5 cm is considered high while below that height is termed as low or medium heel. Normally, high heels are exclusively worn by women but cowboy boots and Cuban heels are also sported by men. Initially raised heels developed as the response to riders` feet slipping forward from the stirrup while riding but in the subsequent decades it has become more stylized.

France led in the creation of high heeled shoes for men and women which later spread to pockets of nobility in other countries. The term `well heeled` became synonymous with opulence. Following the French Revolution there was a decline in this trend but it resurfaced in fashion in late 1800s.

While lower heels were preferred during the late 70s, high heels returned in fashion in late 80s and early 90s. In the meantime the shape of fashionable heel had changed from block (70s) to tapered (90s) and stilettos (80s and post 2000). In recent times high heels heights vary from kitten heel of 4 cm to stilettos or spike heel of 10 cm or more. Extremely high heeled footwear worn for aesthetic reasons are higher than 13 cm but are not considered practical for every day wear.

Court shoes are traditional types and often used as formal footwear while for evening wear such styles have become more adventurous. Wedge heel is another type of high heel where the heel extends till the toes. Wearing high heel footwear by women is primarily guided by its aesthetics appeal. It is believed that high heels alter the angle of the foot with respect to the lower leg, thereby, enhancing the shape of the calves.

They also add height to the wearer and make the legs appear longer and well shaped. In contrast, the size of foot gives the illusion of being smaller while the arches appear more defined. Even the lower leg muscle look better toned that accounts for the wearer creating an over all impression of flexibility and strength.

Some women have experienced the side effects of wearing shoes with high heels. Still, the voluntarily step into a pair of designer shoes as they can not resist the temptation of wearing a beautiful pair of high heel shoes. But legs are important part of our body and they need equal attention and care as they bear the weight of the whole body. Hence, women should be careful while wearing high heel shoes just for the sake of looking fashionable.

Also, podiatrists believe that 75% of women using high heels often suffer from severe foot problems such as intense pain, foot deformities, unsteady gait, shortening strides and may also result in degenerative knee joint changes. Often high heel shoes causes Achilles tendon, blisters, corn and may even contract lower back muscles. If it is not possible to avoid high heels, doctors suggest that those wearing such footwear should save these heels for special occasions while wearing well cushioned shoes for the rest of the day.

Anyone here willing to draw a pic for me?

The pic I need is of a woman's leg from just above the ankle wearing a spike heel crushing a pink rat.

Free Resume Writing Examples and Samples

In this exercise, we are going to go through step-by-step instructions on how to create a resume.  At the end of the post, you will find sample resumes available for download.

On a piece of scratch paper, write down all of your contact information.  This includes your full name, your current address, your home telephone number, your cell phone number, and your e-mail address.  If you are a student and your current address isn’t your permanent address (i.e. you are in a dorm for the semester but will be moving back to your parents’ home soon), then also include your permanent address.  All of this information should be completely accurate so that a potential employer can contact you.

Since many people use their cell phone as their primary phone nowadays, if you wish to only be contacted at that number, it is acceptable to leave out your home phone number.  This is especially true for students who don’t have a home phone number while in the dorms.  Also, it’s important to note that the e-mail address you include should be professional.  An address with your name or initials is appropriate; iamsexy@hotmail.com is not.

For this example, the applicant’s name is going to be Jane Smith.  Address: 123 Street Road, City, State 98765.  Phone number: 555 – 345-9876.  Cell number: 555 – 321 – 2288.  E-mail address: jane.smith@email.com

Next, list all of your previous education.  Write down the name of the school you attended, the degree you earned, and the year you graduated.  If you are currently in school, list “in progress” next to the degree instead of a graduation date.   You may also want to list your G.P.A., provided that it is good; do not list your G.P.A. if it is below a 3.0.  Low numbers may misrepresent your abilities.  If you don’t list your GPA and employers want to know it, they will ask, but often by then you will already have impressed them.

Note that if you have graduated from a college or university, it is no longer appropriate to list high school education on your resume.

For this example, the applicant’s education is as follows:  State University (2000 – 2004) Degree in Business (B.S.) GPA =3.5.

After your education, list all of your previous work experiences.  This includes both paid and unpaid jobs.  Write down the name of your employer, your responsibilities at that job, and the dates you worked there.  If you have multiple positions at one job, write down each position separately.

For this example, Jane Smith has worked at Corporate Business from 2004-2009 as a Business Manager.  She helped streamline operations, boosted employee output and efficiency, increased revenues by 5%, and trained new employees.

Next, list all of your activities.  This includes any organizations you are a part of for recreation and any honors societies you may have been in while in school.

For this example, Jane Smith was a member of the Honors Society and the Fundraising Chair of her sorority, Alpha Beta Gamma.

Finally, list any skills you have separate from your work experience.  This may include computer skills, speaking a second language, technical skills such as welding, or anything useful for a job.  It does not include “good communication” or “team player”.  Those types of faux “skills” are things that an employer expects you to have, and listing them on a resume will not make you stand out from the crowd.  Other skills will give you an edge, though.

For this example, Jane Smith has knowledge of the Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, and Powerpoint) and speaks Spanish as a second language.

Once you’ve collected all of this information, the only thing left to do is assemble it in a manner that is easy to read.  For samples of how this is done, please see the following downloadable resumes. They are created using the sample information mentioned in this blog post.

i want to have a tan skin like a model...help!?

http://www2.victoriassecret.com/images/prodpri/V258635_RC093.jpg
i have pale, olive-colored skin, or milky white asian skin. i want to wear shorts without blinding anyone...i also have long legs so...is there an easy way for me to get a faux tan like the model above that is something simple that i can do?
please give me your advice!! =(

That woman is Brazilian. The simplest answer is to become spanish. That is her natural skin color. You cannot attain that color (and neither can I) because of our genetics.

The best you can do is use self tanner. Clarins makes the best. However, if you are on a budget, Loreal is not that bad. You will need to redo it after every time you shave your legs or no less than every 3 days.

After you have a fake tan, apply body oil generously to get that suntanned glow. Neutrogena makes a good almond oil.

Can I wear black patent leather heels with jeans and a black satin top?

The top is black satin and has a faux patent leather belt that sits under the bust. The heels are rounded toe black patent with wood platform and heel. Would this look tacky? Am I better off going with a black matte heel?
**The belt is really tiny, smaller than half an inch thick.**

I think the belt is too much,
Keep the black patent if you lose the belt!
Keep the black matte if you keep the belt!

(two patent things in an outfit look tacky...unless it's really small or on a purse)
