How's Your Fashion Sense?

The word "Fashion" usually applies to an expression and often applies to a personal expression that may or may not apply to all. In society the words "fashionable" and "unfashionable" are used to describe whether someone or something fits into the current popular fashion culture.

The term "fashion" is frequently used in a positive sense, as a synonym for glamour and style. In this sense, fashions are an art through which a culture examines its notions of beauty and goodness. The term "fashion" is also sometimes used in a negative sense, as a synonym for fads, trends, and materialism. Fashion is a term usually used to describe what everyone is wearing or doing at a given time.

One of the main reasons I wanted to produce a web site pertaining to fashion was to keep up with the current trends for my own personal style and preferences. I have gone shopping on numerous occasions and found myself very disappointed with the current trends in fashion. Every style does not compliment every individual's body shape, taste or fashion sense. How's your fashion sense?

If you are like me, you don't want to spend a lot of time or money updating your closets with the comings and goings of each and every fashion trend. Choosing your particular style should be at the top of your agenda. Once you have developed your own style, you become a fashion setter, instead of following one trend after another. Clothes are a statement that we make about ourselves and we each need to have a fashion statement of our own.

How to Always Have "Something to Wear"

Here's How:

1. Stop impulse buying. Every $10 mistake you would have picked up in the bargain bin goes to a really great fashion wardrobe.
2. In the first step of cleaning out your closet, eliminate everything that doesn't fit or that you haven't worn in a year.
3. A few weeks later, go back and get rid of all the stuff you fudged on the first time around.
4. With what's left, begin identifying a theme to your wardrobe, relying on favorite looks, colors and lifestyle pieces.
5. Decide on three colors that either match or will coordinate with what you own and buy only those three colors for apparel.
6. Establish a workable budget.
7. Make a "Most Wanted" list of all the items you need in your wardrobe. (For example: solid blazer, wool pants, white shirt)
8. Set aside an hour of time each week to shop -- online or off -- to buy the items you put on your "Most Wanted" list.
9. Avoid trendy items.
10. Buy fashionable, but timeless clothing that will span two to three seasons -- like wool crepe or matte jersey.
11. Purchase only clothes that work with something that you already own.
12. Pass on anything that doesn't fit -- no matter how great a buy.
13. Try to add only one or two well-thought out items per month.
14. Add punchy color and trendiness with accessories, shoes and handbags.

Tips:

1. Ignore that advice about buying "the best" of everything. Regardless of how well-made a garment is, moths, coffee spills and kids take their toll. Never choose between a mortgage payment and a cashmere sweater.
2. Try to plan your wardrobe around three neutral colors like black, white, khaki, navy or brown.
3. Buy more solids than prints - you won't get tired of them as quickly.  
4.  Search Amazon.com for Chadwicks clothing

WORST BODY IMAGE LOOKS FOR 2009

While 2009 may just go down as the Year of Scandalous Photoshopping, the past year has been filled with celebrity diets, fat-vs-fit debates and, of course, moobies.
