the essentials!

bam! pow! summertimes about to be here! let us review style and what essentials you must need in order to look, (and feel) just breezy!

we all develop our own personal style, our own personal flair. I have stated previously what my bit o' style is...(let me refresh ya, I me too, because, i need some refreshing in that aspect!)

comfort, casual sweats, loose and baggy, hip hop, workout style, biker style, cowboy/western/native american, white trash, trailer park, young carefree woman, older, casual woman, news reporter woman, bohemian, hippy, (not too much tho, a touch), crazy, funky, FUN!!! if i forget anything i will go back and add to the list. oh, yes, the tomboy look too!  fairy, whimsical (although i hate that word! reminds me of an older lady who gets older country style whim and whimsy!) like cute frogs. i like medieval looks, maybe steampunk but nah not too much. im not into goth or steampunk alot...i like hats too!

another thing, i gained weight. yeah i did. last year i was kickin! i was tight, aight!?? *lol* i had whittled that waist down, i felt hot i was SMOKIN!! well, unfortunately, due to laziness and lack of eating healthily, i gained the flab back. my belly, is a muffin top, once again. i need to get back in shape!!!

so i will stress out how definetivly it will make yourself feel better once you are a bit more toned. i mean, still, rock your curves! but you will feel much more polished when you are sleek physique. but aint nothin wrong with some extra somethin here and there. confidence is more important then getting too stressed out about your weight. personally, i prefer to feel and look more slimmed down. while i still like comfort, i want to rock a cute club-girl look (what if i want to go out dancing or something!?? right?)

now, lets talk about the looks and styles!!

 i never focus on winter. for me, during the winter, i am 'soup girl'. i look like a girl who sips on stew. i look unkempt, i feel unkempt. i haven't got down wintertime me yet.

Now, when you want to do your style, think ...COORDINATES!! 

PATTERNS! i love patterns! i love florals, (i love delicate roses).
SHEERS! (there are always sheers)
back to the 90s look, (bright ray bans, neons, sunflowers, cut offs, aka HIPSTER..if you don't mind risking looking like a hipster, well, so what!? i saw a cute top where two daisys were in place of the boobs! cute with overalls!
VESTS!!! 
LEGGINGS
little cute acid washed cut off ripped and shredded denim shorts, (which i love, but i got to hit the spin bike a lil bit more. these are hot with younger, thin girls, but hey us oldies can enjoy that look too WHY NOT!??!)
FRINGE

ok...now, leggings. and floral prints. I like florals, (aztecs are popular too but kind of hipster for me. i do like native american stuff tho). if you are going to wear a floral print shirt, get an oversize, long flowy shirt, and layer it over a pair of basic black leggings, with little moccasins, cowboy boots, strappy sandals, whatever works, but keep the empasis on your print. if you are going to wear floral or any kind of printed legging, keep your shirt simple. a simple long loose black vest can work too.

my opinion of vests, long, loose and layered. i do not particularly like crochet style vests, i do like snazzy vests tho, like for instance, i got a snazzy white vest which made me look like tada! 

for all the tighter stuff, you need form fitting undergarments. this is essential! bodysuits, under shirts (tight fitting) for all the sheers i mentioned, bralettes, and bandeaus (to wear under t-straps or muscle shirts (which i like!) muscle shirts fall under the tomboy category, as well as boyfriend cut jeans. i like mens pants, the way they sit on myself. i don't like tapered i just want to look loose and cool. lol!

so keep one pattern, one basic. 

MORE ESSENTIALS! 

sunglasses! invest in a pair or two of designer brand. this will bring your look together! trust me!

designer heels (on those going out nights. your tootsies will thank you!) 

i admit i have NOT got the sexy club girl look down however!???!

jewelry! necklaces, bracelets, and rings. i like turqoise and silver, gemstones, moonstone, friendship bracelets, leather, cool kinds, upper finger rings...jewelry will always bring your look together, even if only you are wearing basic shorts and a basic shirt.

hats! a nice hat will complete your look too. i like bowler hats, porkpies, IDK HA!!!!!!!, baseball caps! (cute and sexy), id even rock a top hat (sort of steampunk huh?)

jokey funny stuff! i like silly shirts. in fact, i saw a heinz ketchup shirt at wet seal i need to order!!!! shirts you get at spencers or hot topics! oh i also want that alice in wonderland tea party shirt! 

NEON!!! but walmart neon!! cuz its so chippy and cheapy!! 

velvet! velveteen! blazers! denim jackets! overalls. dickies. military style. army greens.

boots. i am getting a pair of NICE cowboy boots and jump school military boots! walmart has a fatigues muscle shirt too! 

TATTOOS! tattoos will make any outfit pop!!!! i love em! i need more!
