Today's Look: More Leather Swagg & Scarf

Just adding a scarf can change your entire look.  You can brighten up basics like black, cream or white with bright, fluorescent bold colors.  That's what made this ensemble stand out saying femininity and power.

 

Hats off to Feminity and Power...

The Tube Skirt

The Tube Skirt is a classic skirt that has been around for years and years!  They provide a very classy look for all you fashionistas.  And, they can be worn in different styles based on the type and weight of material used to make them...

 

Here are a few from Spring 2013 Designer Lines...

Notice how the look becomes even more gentle and free flowing with a silky, very light weight material:

And Prada urbanizes the Tube Skirt with a heavy weight red leather material:

These are just a few ways a Tube Skirt can be worn- notice the diversity of all these styles!  There is no limit to the different looks you can create in your own personal wardrobe when wearing tube skirts.

Body Type: Tube Skirts look great on hourglass and banana shaped women.

Have a wonderful day lovelies :-)

Today's Look: Leather Swagg

This is an outfit I truly enjoyed wearing...one of my fave skirts- a leather pencil skirt.  Paired with a simple v-neck black shirt and hot pink stilettos.

Adding a touch of color brings class and jazz to this otherwise basic outfit.  It also tones down the leather skirt.  This is truly a fierce yet feminine look!  Sounds like me ladies :-)  Have a Blessed One.

 

Have a wonderful day lovelies.

The Trumpet Skirt

The Trumpet Skirt is also identified as a Mermaid Skirt but for this post I will use the title, "Trumpet Skirt".  The cut of this style fits snuggly around the hips and upper thighs, down to the center of the thighs (trumpet skirt) or knees (mermaid skirt), then dramatically flaring out into a beautiful trumpet head.  This creates a very appealing look!
It is titled as such because of it's shape, resembling the shape of a trumpet.  The picture above is from designer, Carmen Marc Valvo's Spring 2013 Line.   This gown and cut is especially flattering for the curvaceous women.  Please keep in mind that the Trumpet Skirt can be made in a more casual style based on the material used- i.e. jean or linen material, creating an elegant, yet edgy feel!
For the Curvy Woman:

This look covers any areas desired due to its gathered nature and trumpet cut.

Not only is this cut great for the full figured but it is bottomed out with a flattering full shape.

This is a beautiful display of the Trumpet skirt- the color tones the wedding gown feel, but it is matched with the silk material.

The Linen Material is what make's this look more casual.

The light weight material of this skirt creates a completely different, more relaxed look.

Suggested Body Type: Curvy and Hourglass. Also adds curves to the slender body type.

Kenyan Glam: Today's Look

Today’s Look! Inspired and Received from Kenya, Africa. I loved wearing this look with my hot pink stilettos. They added instant glam to this tribal-like outfit.  This was so much fun!

 The A Line Skirt is a very flattering style for women to wear; it is called this due to the A shape it makes on the outward line of the skirt.

Best Body Type: Pear Shaped Women- This skirt type brings attention away from your waist and hips to your lower body.

The Pencil Skirt

I absolutely love the Pencil Skirt.  Here are a few in different colors and styles from Oscar de la Renta's Spring 2013 Line.

You can either dress up the pencil skirt or dress it down.  You can wear a jean pencil skirt with a t-shirt and heels.  You can wear it with a dressy blouse and classic heels, for a romantic look or you can wear it with a collared shirt and conservative heels, for a more corporate-business look.

No matter what, wearing a pencil skirt will create a classiness that exudes timelessness.

Accessorize it with matching jewelry and a cute purse and you're good to go!
