TLC Fashion Tips
|
|
|
Take the time to try on clothes before you purchase
them! Just because you are one size in one store does not mean you're the same
size in another store. Rule of thumb: the more expensive the clothes, the
smaller size you will need. I've observed this often with clients as well as
when working at a high-end boutique. If you don't have time to try on before
you buy, make sure you're aware of the return policy, and try on your clothes
BEFORE the return deadline.

| Home Decor Takes Cues from Fashion World
When I was working as a product developer for a leading
textile manufacturer, a lot of our inspiration came from the fashion world and
visa versa. Many of the trends in color,
texture, shape, etc., may emerge in one field and then translate over to the
other. Keep this in mind if you're looking to revive your wardrobe or your décor.
Looking for
new ideas to decorate a room? Look no further than your closet. Pick out your favorite
three items to wear: maybe your brushed gold  bracelet, red suede pumps and
charcoal gray pencil skirt. They do not have to be items that you wear
together; they just have to be the items you love to wear, and feel the best
in. Use these items as your inspiration to decorate your room. Use the patterns,
colors, textures and style. If you feel good wearing it, you feel good living
in it!
Again, like
fashion, pick a fun, accent piece and work around it.  You should have one eye
catching, conversation piece-maybe a funky chair or a retro-inspired rug. Just
like when wearing a memorable outfit, you want to have one great eye-popping
piece to grab the attention it deserves.
Wall paper
is making a huge comeback! Keep that in mind when looking for something new to
do to your walls. You could wallpaper just one accent wall or maybe the back of
bookshelves.
It's
amazing how many times I have gone into a client's house and all he or she
needed was a fresh pair of eyes to rearrange the room and add a few items to
pull it together. A room always looks complete with curtains and the right
accessories... pillows, artwork and decorations.

What's Hot for Cool Weather Fashion?
Men:
Stop categorizing your clothes as "dress" shoes, "work"
shirts and "weekend" pants. You should be mixing and matching. Black wing tip
shoes can be worn with pinstripe suits as well as chinos. Weekend sweaters
dress up with a "work" shirt underneath. You'll be surprised at how many new
looks you can create by expanding your options-even within your own closet.
Women: Cropped slouch trousers are making a comeback! You'll be
seeing them in all different materials. Silk will be a great buy, because you
can wear now with sweaters and boots, then wear them into spring and summer with
heels and sandals.
