Last night I had the good fortune to speak to a wonderful group of women who have been together since their children were babies! How fun it wast to speak to them.
We talked about whether or not my blouse was PINK…Yes, it is Salmon Pink! We also talked about how you can create a little ‘style’ in your life! Here’s a picture of a few of us.
A question came up about handbags. HUGE handbags are all the rage Should you carry one? There are all kinds of answers that would “fit” here, but I want to get technical about scale and proportion.
Technically speaking, large accessories are balanced and more proportionate for larger scaled people. Here are some checkpoints to ensure a handbag is right for you:
-
Repeat the shape of your body (is your face angular or soft)
-
Repeat the scale of your bone structure (are your bones small, medium or large)
-
Check length and make sure it does not end at your widest point on your body
-
Check the scale of the “bling” is proportionate to your bone structure/body scale
-
Color – make sure the color is one that you love.
Make color decisions easy and start with the hue of your hair/ skintone (warm = camel and warm brown; cool = black and cool brown) Think of your handbag as an extension of your personality. It should be functional but also can be a statement piece. If you choose to have it be a statement piece, then let it be. Don’t overdo it by having multiple statements in your wardrobe-you’ll confuse peope with what you are tyring to present.
It’s rather like eating dessert, it’s o.k. to have some but just don’t have too much! Repeat after me: “Scale, balance and proportion”
“Look Good, Feel Great and Have FUN Doing It!”
Still PINK and going strong. Only 11 more days to go! I’m going to add some blue with my pink and white today. 
We had a warm coat drive at our church. It was exciting to see all of the coats that were donated. Since it has been a little chillier than normal it was heartwarming to see the generosity of people sharing with others in need.
Today it is a brown suede skirt, brown fishnets, brown suede boots (I know it would look better with brown leather-but hey give me a break!) brown tank and my soft pink crocheted sweater. It works. 
Hmmmm, I think I’ll just do some beads today. I would wear my PINK Bandana, but that may put me over the top and a bit too cowgirl! That would be a good example of taking an accessory theme a bit too far! Remember “less is more”! I’ll pair the denim with my white ruffle shirt, my pink bracelet and pink necklace. Oh, thank you accessories, you make me PINK today!
My son let me wear his PINK Polo today! No, this isn’t him, but I thought I”d have some fun with this! He told me yesterday that I could borrow his pink polo if I wanted! Gotta love it!! Jeans and a polo today. I’m working on presentations for the next few weeks and getting read for 
Today is scarf day! It’s easy to dress in a color when you have a scarf. That is the value of a LBD (little black dress). You can use the LBD as a back drop for what ever color you want to be for the day. Dress it up or dress it down, it is a good core piece that you should have in your wardrobe for any event.
