The Lowdown on Button Down Skirts

Posted on by CEFashion

If walking into a store today reminds you of Clueless, we couldn’t agree more. The 90’s trends of fake tattoo necklaces, mini skirts, crop tops (once called belly shirts) and 70’s come 90’s inspired flares are back! If you’re not ready to relive your jr high school days just yet, might we suggest easing into the look with a front button skirt.

Paired with tall boots or flats, these skirts really come together. However you can make the skirt look a little more modern with short booties or wedges for a new take on an old trend. Another way to dress up the look is by playing with luxe fabrics and fun hems. When it gets a little colder add some Cher approved knee highs or colorful tights to take the mini skirt into the winter months.

Check out some of our favorites, such as the Lucy Paris Scalloped A-Line Mini Skirt. The rich cognac color, scalloped detailing and faux suede material give this Boho-style skirt some extra pizzaz. For a more streamlined simple look, try Aqua’s Faux Suede Snap-Front Skirt. This mini packs a big dose of “downtown cool.” Looking for something a little longer? H&M’s Denim Skirt with buttons down the front and side pockets is the perfect compromise, all of the look and a little more length, for those times you don’t want to show too much leg.

Embrace a buttoned skirt from your childhood; just leave your butterfly clips and Tamagotchis at home!

Fringed jackets add extra drama when the temperature drops. Nasty Gal’s Runway Fringe Suede Moto Jacket is a great accessory for the fashion girl who wants to be noticed. Dress down a cocktail dress or pair it with jeans for the ultimate fall look.

Another way to rock the trend is with a great shoe. Forever 21’s Fringe Bib Necklace will instantly transform any bland outfit into something amazing! Or rock a fringed stiletto such as Rupert Sanderson’s Fringe Sandals- Marlena High heel. The Twilight Navy Blue color is a perfect way to extend summer sandals into fall.

While there are many fringed purses on the market, H&M’s Backpack with Fringe is a fun way to tote around all your stuff. Another simple fringe accessory is a great tassel earring. BAUBLEBAR’s Leather Tassel Drop Earrings look très chic!

Posted on by CEFashion

Many women struggle with the idea of wearing clothing styles that show off their waistline. This is understandable, especially if a woman has given birth to a few children. However, hiding the waist in larger blouses might add pounds to your figure. Instead, it could be more flattering to take advantage of a waist clincher and try styles of clothing that will actually flatter your waistline.

Wear a Wide Belt

Belts are a great way to tighten the waist area when they are used correctly. The most flattering belt is larger and wider. It will provide your waist with definition instantly. Wider belts work like corsets, and they add structure to your upper body. When you wear them, make sure they are not too tight. Otherwise, you will feel very uncomfortable. Also, if they are too tight, excess skin on your body might get pinched if the belt is too small.

Choose Eye Flattering Pieces

When you are trying to flatter your waistline, it is important to choose pieces that have the right effect. For example, a person with a short waist will need extra length on their body. They should take advantage of garments where the waistline hits right below the bust. Also, deep V-neck dresses are great options because the draw the eyes upward. This elongates the waist and makes you look more beautiful.

If you have a long waist, then high-waisted skirts are likely to be your best friend. They will raise your waistline and make your legs look longer. These skirts also hit at the narrowest part of your waist, making it look slim. When you are searching for a skirt to wear, the simpler the better. Also, on top wear something basic so that your waistline is the focus.

Look for Wrap Dresses

Arguably the most universally flattering style of dress for any body type is the wrap dress. This type of dress even looks great on women with problems in the stomach area. The dress will accentuate your positive assets and hide the ones that you are not so thrilled with. There are plenty of different styles of this dress. You can find casual and dressy options, making it a go-to option for your wardrobe.

Don’t Forget Shape Wear

For the most flattering waistline, shapewear is a must. It will smooth out all of the problem areas on your body and make your clothes look better. These types of undergarments are worn on the red carpet and TV to ensure that celebrities look their best. If you want to look amazing where you go, then shape wear will help you do that. It is especially beneficial when it comes to the problem area of the waist. This is one of the hardest areas to tone. In addition, many people struggle to loose weight in that area of their body.

When your waistline looks great, you will feel more confident. A waistline means that you have a decent figure that you are proud to show off. With these tips, that is possible regardless of your size.

Young Women’s Fashion Advice - Beauty Pageants Madness?!

Posted on by CEFashion

Beauty pageants can be fun activity for girls of all ages, though toddlers and babies most likely find the most enjoyment through the delight of their parents. Whether you’re shopping for a little girl or a teenage girl, it’s important to spend plenty of time planning out the apparel of choice for the day. Pageant dresses are very similar to other formal dresses in both cut, color, and design, but there are some considerations you’ll want to keep in mind when making the final selection.

For starters, you will want to take great pains to find an age-appropriate dress. A sweetheart neckline, for instance, would be perfectly appropriate on a teenage girl, but would not be appropriate for a toddler. Creating a gorgeous hair style is ideal for all pageants, but you’ll want to take care in the products and accessories you use on young ladies. The same goes for makeup: use makeup sparingly on little girls, while older girls and teenagers can certainly create a dramatic flare with the use of eyeliner, mascara, and blush or bronzer.
