Chu-La Couture Contest Giveaway!

I was almost late on this hot new giveaway but thankfully not too late! "What giveaway?", you ask?

Watermoolen and Chu-La Couture have teamed up to sponsor an awesome giveaway that gives her blog readers this adorable sequined clutch.  I checked out the online boutique and fell in love with the selection and you will too. A couple things in particular to look out for are the City Hobo bag and Aim High Revolver ring.

All I can say is - LOVE IT!

The Gap Between Girls and Junior Sizes

Clothing manufacturers should really think about making clothing sizes in between Girls and Juniors. I was taking my sister school shopping today and realized there is quite a jump from children's girl sizes and juniors clothes. The cut of the clothing and styles are pretty different.  There are taller girls who are too big for girl sizes but maybe too small and not mature enough for junior sizes.  If I could make clothing I would totally capitalize on this!  Some of the clothes sold for young girls are too provocative in my opinion, and companies really need to consider that many girls are taller and a bit more developed than the average height.  They aren't plus sized girls but they aren't teenagers either.  What would you do if a child is obviously too old for Garanimals but you won't be having her wear some of the form fitting flirtier styles in the junior's section?

Maxi Skirt Trend

This season, inject a dose of ladylike glamour by rocking maxi skirts. The dramatically dropped hemlines are perfect for enjoying calm spring breezes.  Maxis let you look radiant and feminine. You can easily dress them up or down, yet still maintain the effect of making an effort.

Short girls- You ladies look best when you stick to monochromatic skirts, detailing closer to the neckline/face, and avoid patterns & colorblocking.  A 1 color dress can actually visually elongate your body making you look longer and leaner, and pairing them with wedges is a nice addition for your frame.

Big girls- A cute idea is to stick to heavier materials and A-lines.  Look for good structure, yet fabric that wields and floats gently away from your body.

Will you be rocking maxi skirts? Yay or nay?

Turbans Turn Trendy

Turbans, or head wraps, have been around for a while in certain ethnic communities but the fashion world has just begun to take notice.

 

I can't see this being a wearable look for most people.  I mainly see a few fashion-forward, artsy, bohemian, or hipster types rocking this but not so much mainstream.  Really though, try to imagine 19-year-old trend lemmings in the middle of Ohio donning turbans.  Not everyone will be able to pull this look off, but it will be fun seeing people try!

I like the brightly colored ones, but the solid black turbans make the girl look like she forgot to take off her doobie wrap before she left the house.  The way the turban is wrapped is also important.  Too sloppy and undone and it just makes you look sloppy.

YAY 

NAY 

Do you have the courage and desire needed to rock a turban or do you think it's too much altogether?
