This from Lytton $178.. Can you say payless if you want to try this look.

8. A Sweater Dress.. This look does not seem to go away so they are on sale now so pick them up. If they are a cap sleeve wear it into spring. Fall this will be hot and one of my favorite looks is a sweater dress with a ridding boot. The look is it to be a little more a lose fit.

Rockabilly Fashion? What is it?

What is Rockabilly Fashion?

I have been wondering what the heck is it? I know it was a style of music but so many people on eBay will say "rockabilly style"... I decided to do some research and figure out what is rockabilly style.

Once I discovered the fashion sense of the Rockabilly girl I came across the fact that all women have some kind of fashion rules. They follow some soft of rules for fashion and it is rare to meet a women that does not have a set of rules. Some people may argue with this but a person that does wear active wear almost everyday this woman does have a set of rules maybe for a wedding or a date. 

I have a very athletic friend.. actually will be running in the Boston Marathon and she is stunning! Outside her fitness routine she has rules of fashion and she wears it well.

1. Rockabilly Hair: Bold Color! You usually don't see a blond "rockabilly girl" if they do have blond hair it is a white blond. Also they do their color at home since there is no highlights. Bangs are a must have or can be faked. The rockabilly girl also uses a variety of hair accessories like bandanna, flowers or bows.

2. Rockabilly Fashion: Pencil skirts, cropped trousers, short sleeve shirts and halter neck dresses and tops. Now colors: Red, Black, White and Navy. Maybe this is an idea if you just have these colors in your wardrobe you never have to worry about "does this match"

Patterns also matter and you most likely see Polka Dots, Gingham (which is very very hot this spring and summer)

Guess they also embrace motifs as Cherries, Skulls, Dice and Bows. I do not specialize in this style but if you want to embrace this fashion trend there are a number of shops online and search eBay for "Rockabilly"

They look very much like pinup girl and Katy Perry is well know for rocking this style! It also seems that tattoos are a must. So if you want to wear this style embrace it because a "rockabilly" girl is very confident!  As I have said before if you want to try this style maybe get a polka dot dress or a A-line mid length skirt.

Wear what you want to wear! Be confident and looked pulled together! That is my biggest pet peeve if you need help ask. 

Fabletics...

Fabletics

I saw a ad on Facebook and wanted to take a look on I can get an entire workout outfit for $25! So I looked and I said ok what the heck! I ordered  my fabletics outfit

I did see that I will be a VIP member which means I get to pick a different outfit for $49 for the 1st of the month. I can skip anytime.

I ordered this on Thursday morning and I received this today! WOW!!! This is such quality clothing and the fit is perfect! You will not be disappointed. It is worth every penny. 

The only complaint I have is my outfit was $29 and not $25. Finally workout gear that is cute and so well made.

Spring Must Have One Shoulder

One Shoulder Cuts Spring 2015

The one shoulder is a big fashion trend for Spring and Summer!

I purchased a teal one shoulder on Clearance at White House Black Market 3 years ago. I thought about selling this at the beginning of fall but decided to hold on to it! Glad I did because it is all the rage for the season! Dresses, tee shirts and blouses. I would just buy 1 piece. I would not go and have a whole closet full of them. As soon As I list them on eBay they are gone.

Here are some runway looks... 

Fashion Investment #8 Jewelry your own style

Love a great jewelry piece! I would pair a clunky necklace with one of my suits when working and it would just give it a great pulled together look. I have a gold piece and a silver piece that I kept for my wardrobe. I think you can put on a white shirt and a great necklace and look so pulled together!

I think the most must have investment jewelry pieces are a diamond stud or gold hoop earring.  I have a few friends that have a signature ring. One is a signet ring that has been passed down and it studded in diamonds and the other ring is bold gold with a significant diamond in the middle. I always love that look and I always noticed how awesome it looked!

So is jewelry fashion? Yes.. Clothing and jewelry one makes the other look better. The fashion experts say a fine jewelry earring is required. When spending the money on a jewelry item first ask yourself how often will I wear this and will it become a signature piece. I would buy trendy jewelery that is the fashion jewelry. The best pieces buy classics and let the gifts roll in!

I love the Chaps line at Kohl's as there are so many classic designs as well as Lauren Conrad.

Buy a classic gold necklace, great watch and classic earring. I also want to add a signature ring besides your wedding rings.

Worth the investment!

10 Fashion Lessons we learned from Kate Middleton and ou Own Princess Kate Monica Day!!!

What 10 fashion lessons we have learned from Kate Middleton.

What has Princess Kate taught us about fashion?

1. Hats are the best accessory! 

She loves her hats but it is customary that if she is at a Royal Duty she must wear a hat. She must wear a hat at all Royal functions.

Also needs to walk 2 steps behind Prince William.

I love wearing a hat when I am having a bad hair day.. with short hair it is a little hard since you don't want to look like a boy.

2. Don't Dress older.. Well beyond your years.

What does that mean? I also think don't wear fashion meant for kids. I love it when I see a 70 year old women with gray hair wearing LOVE PINK sweatshirt! LOL

Ok back to Kate. Being a Royal sometimes you need to dress boring or fashion that is more suited for a queen. She now chooses items to go with her youthful style. 

3. It is ok to wear a outfit more then once.

I have a hard time with this one but I have learned from her that take a outfit and put a new pump with it or add a belt. Wear bold jewelry. Take the outfit to a new level.

4. Good Fashion does not mean a lot of $$$

Of course she can afford anything she wants but she is savvy like me. Why would I pay for something that I am not getting the most out of my money.

She has known to wear styles that us commoners can afford! The day after her wedding she wore a ZARA dress.

It was a rumor she shops on Reiss , Topshop and warehouse.

She met Michelle Obama in a $350 Reiss dress. This caused so much buzz that the website crashed and sold out immediately.

Kate also bought 3 dresses and a blouse for $350 before her wedding. It is nice to know that she values the dollar. Even though I can afford it I would never pay full price for a item! NEVER...

 This dress was worn to White House to meet Michelle Obama.. $350 dress was available to the public!

5.Wear 2 wedding gowns if you are undecided.

Not sure if I agree with this but most brides are doing this now!

Go for the traditional look for the ceremony and then for the party wear something a little more daring. Though she wore a elegant Satin A line dress and added a crop angora sweater.

6.Navy is the new black. 

I remember when her and William were engaged and that Navy Wrap Dress she wore was stunning. Everything in that style sold out immediately. Old Navy had a dress that was called Royal Navy.

She had a gorgeous Lace Navy Dress.

7.USE a Tailor!!!

Get pieces altered to fit you! We don't have the perfect figure and we shy away from items that don't fit us right. Tailor can fix this.

8. Sheer Hosiery

This is practical and Chic!

Wear hose that matches you skin!  I love the summer when I don't need to wear hose but I can get a tan and it looks great!

9.Less is not always more

Before Prince William.. She wore a risque piece that was meant to be a blouse and she turned this into a dress and her undergarments were visible. I am sure she wishes she could burn that photo.

10.Be true to your own style! 

Trends come and go! You can add pieces to your style that are trendy. There are so many variations of trends that it works well. I would love to help anyone.

She sticks to her own style with sometimes not spending the money!

She styled her hair and makeup on her wedding day. She also opts occasionally to pick her own clothing out. This is a true peoples princess.

We have our own Princess! I personally think our own Monica Day for NBC news looks simialr to her... She has style and is so down to earth! 

Take a look and tell me what you think?

They say everyone has a double! Right? She is not only beautiful but so very talented! Take a look at these pics...
