Dashing Maxi

Wow its been a while since I have last did a post. SORRY !!!.. So I have been a busy body for the past couple of weeks. But I have been able to take time out for myself and do some of the things I love to do. I had also made time to get to the mall and find some new threads. One thing that has caught my eye thus far for the Spring/Summer seasons is the beautiful textures, silk, or satin flowy maxi skirts... I was able to find a beautiful rose satin high waisted maxi skirt this weekend and best believe it is to DIE for. I shall wear on my next adventure of wine tasting with friends in Malibu or Sonoma..

 Maxi skirts are on the most comfortable threads you can find. they automatically elongate one's frame. Making you look very prissy, girly and fun at the same time. There are so many types of maxi skirts out there.

RECOMMENDATION: Try to stay away from the tight fitted to the feet maxi skirts. or the maxi skirts that allow you to not have a shape. Your maxi skirts should be tight fitted at you waist and flow out.. They should be long enough that you can wear heels and the skirt still covers your shoe. The only skirt that is tight fitted but more of a pencil inspired maxi skirt- is the one I have posted below- this skirt is from Asos.com.. Please wear this when yo are going to an event.. Not to the store or mall. Most flowy maxi skirts look better with a tight fitted top, but you can opt to have a looser fitting blouse, as this will add more elegance and dressy inspired wear...

Maxi skirts should apart of every women's closet. Try to focus on getting colors that stand out, such as below.. printed maxi skirts are fun, but depending on the material and the print, t could be mistaken for a long term wear for seasons and years to come, but really just a trend for that one season you are in. If you buy a lot of these skirts, stick to solid colors...

Til we meet again !!!

Women- Create your mans look; Men- re- invent your look...

                                            Designer does not mean you are the shit, so do not stress on having to buy them..

You do not have to wear designer to make a statement or be classified as your game being super on point. But men you must match and use your color palette to the fullest. Try new things, and different textures to compliment your outfit.  Invest just like women do in major important pieces, like a nice trench coat- shown above. Burberry is the best at doing trench coats or military inspired coats. Invest in watches and nice pairs of shoes.. Shoes make the biggest statement so you better have a great shoe game.

Your jeans should sit on your bottom perfectly and not be too wide leg. The color of denim makes and breaks an outfit. Going lighter makes it look messy and not put together. Going darker makes your outfit look sharper and more posed. Take the deep v necks out of your closet and change them up for more round neck.

Try navy blue and black with dark denim. then change it up with a cream shirt...

Gucci is probably the most go to designer that men wear, But try other designers like Louis Vuitton, YSL, Louboutin shoes instead. To me, Gucci is so predictable. Try Bally's, or Tom Ford.

Women- Pick out some accessories for your man, Man pick out some statement pieces yourself. Trust me you will get noticed.

Men- like I state to women, please use color in your waredrobe, if you are dark complexion- venture into the brighter colors. Like purples, greens, yellows, reds, blues.. etc.. Do not go designered out and wear five designers in one outfit, nor do you want to go 5 pieces from one designer. That is a huge NO NO.. If you do- try to stay away from the monogram pieces- meaning the pieces that have the designer logo or name splattered all over the item. Stick with straight leg denim instead of wide leg and do not go too skinny on the skinny jeans..  Stick to the basic design from a designer with nothing but a small logo to trademark the item. STAY away from MONOGRAM...

For example- take these YSL shoes below... one would never know who they were made buy unless you are a fashionista/nisto or checked the small tag placed on the back of the shoes- take these shoes and NOW you can match them with a gucci belt or a Fendi belt. Get where im going with this????

                                          These YSL for mens spring collection are amazing. and I am a huge Fendi lover...

Brown and maroon are wonderful together. match this with dark denim and a navy blue shirt.

To Be Continued - IN THE MEANTIME Start shopping
