Fashion Today!
11/16/99
Indeed, our society is how shall I say? -- "liberated."
Fashion today is
less and less modest with halter tops, daisy dukes, mini
skirts, and spagetti
strings. For those of us who are a too self conscious to be
comfortable with
that style, I would like to say that one does NOT need to be
scantily clad to
still be fashionable and fine. Remember that revealing clothes
are more
conservative clothes, just shorter and tighter versions!
For the classic casual look there are always baby tees and
jeans with
sweaters in various styles. Jeans are cut in numberous ways:
boot cut, flare,
loose fit, slim... Baby tees are the versatile, coming in all
the colors of
the rainbow and then some, and bearing all manner of designs
and words. Try
different fabrics too.
For a more dressy occasion, there are long skirts; if you
choose to be a
little daring try one with a minimal slit up the side. Pair
long skirts with
sweaters in smooth fabrics like velvet. Girly girls can try
pastels and baby
doll dresses in floral prints.
Stick to your basics. Accessorize; an outfit is a
comprehensive
head-to-toe look. Trust your own judgment and have fun. Above
all, DO NOT be
intimidated by the girls that have Mariah Carey's taste in
clothes.
This has been a public service announcement from your
friendly Internet
community resident expert. :)
