Fun, Fun, Fun

I hope you were all able to catch the fashion show at Macy's last week hosted by Clinton Kelly of TLC's What Not to Wear. It was a lot of fun. If not, make sure you see Clinton the next time you have an opportunity. He is an excellent host- very entertaining. He even performed several "360 evaluations" of audience members.

If you like TLC's What Not to Wear, you may be interested in one of our body and style consultations.

"What To Wear To Work This Fall"

There is an interesting article on Yahoo!HotJobs called What To Wear To Work This Fall. The article starts out with a section entitled You Are What You Wear which says, "You can tell a lot about people by the way they dress. According to Yahoo! HotJobs research, 75% of recruiters believe that how you dress for work affects your job, salary, and possible promotions. Wearing the right outfit is very important to your career development." Absolutely.

The other 2 sections of the article are Women's Fall Trends and Men's Fall Trends. You can view the entire article with pictures at:

Spring 2007 Preview

Well, New York Fashion Week is over now, and I am quite disappointed with what the fashion looks like for Spring 2007. I can't imagine these styles being flattering on any real woman's or man's figure:

• Skin-tight pants in shiny metallic fabrics
• Short shorts for men
• Hairstyles that are teased and overly-hairsprayed
• Short T-shirt dresses
• Bubble dresses

In fact, the author of Three is a Trend referred to these bubble dresses as "Oompa-Loompa-inspired dresses". Who would want to be dressed as an Oompa-Loompa, unless it's for Halloween? If you want to see the fashions that I'm referring to, you can see the blog with pictures at:

Of course, these fashions will be revamped to better accomodate the real woman and man before they hit the department stores next Spring, so maybe there's some hope.
