Spring is Here!

Note to Nicole Richie:

I love this look on you. Generally I think long dresses, like this one, do not look good on petite women. You proved me wrong.  I love the unique print of the this vintage dress on you, and I think the sleeves and back of the dress make it interesting. You are definitely rocking a bohemian vibe, and it suits you.

Note to Readers:

I can not even tell you how happy I am that spring is here.  The sun is out, and I am ready to start wearing shorts, dresses, skirts, and everything else that has been buried in the back of my closet for the past few months. This spring we will be seeing a lot of romantic styles and floral prints, and I can't wait! 

If you are going to wear a maxi-dress (I hate the name, but you know what type of dress I am talking about), make sure the dress does not overwhelm you.  This is why I am a little wary about petite women wearing them, but don't worry Nicole has proven you petite body types can still wear them and look fabulous.  Make sure there is enough fabric to create the look you want, but not so much that you can barely see yourself hidden in the dress. I hope that helps. Dresses are a great way to keep cool during the hot summer months.

"Plain" White T's

Note to White T-Shirts:
What would I do without you? Your versatility never seems to amaze me. I love to wear you with jeans, shorts, skirts, to the gym (the few times I actually go to the gym that is), to sleep in-- really your possibilities are endless. I can wear you to the beach over a swimsuit and then seamlessly transition to wearing you under a fabulous leather jacket with some skinny jeans on a date that night. You look good in the winter with a scarf and a cardigan and you look good in the summer with some shorts and flip flops. I love that I can buy you in a pack of three (Hane's Undershirts for Men) at Target for $9.99. I'm usually am not a fan of frequent wardrobe repeats, but with you I find it hard not to wear you a few times a week. Thank you for always being there for me when I need you.

Note to Readers:
First and foremost, I apologize for my lack of blogging this past week. I was enjoying an extended holiday weekend. Hopefully there are still a few of you coming back to check for new posts and you haven't given up on me yet!

Now for a few tips about wearing White T's, the key here is to keep your look from being too plain. While your shirt may be simple, your outfit does not need to be. Adding a little extra to your outfit can be as simple as wearing a bright colored flat shoe with your jeans and white t-shirt. You can also think outside of the box and pair your t-shirt with more formal wear, for instance a friend of mine wore one with a high waisted skirt, a wide belt, and fabulous platform heels for her birthday party and she looked amazing! When your shirt is white, you can use a lot of color in your accessories without looking too overdone. Once you start thinking of new ways to wear these ubiquitous garments, you won't be able to stop! Have fun and remember, life is too short for boring clothes.
