Basic Clothing Wardrobe for Women

  • Women’s Basic Wardrobe Clothing

    There is no perfect basic wardrobe that applies to all. A basic wardrobe takes into consideration lifestyle or clothing for all of our activities.  If you are a hockey coach your wardrobe is going to be a lot different  than a corporate lawyer's. However when we choose a basic article of clothing it is something we plan on wearing many times (getting our money’s worth). These items are like good investments since they will reward us many times in the future. When buying your basics purchase quality pieces, not necessarily the most expensive.

  • Clothing Essentials for Hikers

    There really is nothing like a huge walk across difficult terrain. However, without the right hiking equipment a potentially enjoyable experience can turn into a walking nightmare. As the old phrase goes, "those who fail to prepare, prepare to fail." It may well have been a hiker that invented that phrase because there is arguably few other situations where this phrase is more appropriate.
  • Reinventing Yourself

    In honor of breast cancer awareness month I would like to mention a designer, David Meister, who is to be honored for his contributions as a Pink Tie Guy for the Susan G. Komen foundation. This month at the first annual Gala “Designs for the Cure” in Los Angeles, California, Meister is on the forefront of breast cancer awareness. The gala is about  recognizing men who have strongly contributed to raising awareness this year.

  • Wearing Prints and Patterns

    When choosing things to wear, we want to accentuate the positive. The first thing to think about when selecting prints and patterned clothing is scale. Large prints will call attention to you and your size. Small women don't look good in clothing with large prints and patterns. Large women are already noticeable and will just call attention to their size when wearing large prints and patterns. Scale the prints to your size and you're "good to go."

     

  • What Message Are You Sending By The Colors You Wear?

    Believe it or not what colors you are wearing can describe how you are feeling and what type of person you are. If you are wearing red or yellow you will be noticed fairly quickly. These colors are  good "attention getters." You are probably an outgoing, confident, and warm person with high self esteem.

  • What Do You and Bette Midler Have In Common?

    I love Bette Midler’s incredible energy, quick wit and quirky style.  While she is often over the top on many levels, she is also always (at least in her public persona) perfectly Bette. Whether you love her style or cringe when you see it, her message is something we can all admire.  Bette is Bette – loud and clear! There is also a somewhat famous quote attributed to Bette which says, “I have my standards.  They’re low.  But I have them.”
