I love fashion but I believe that there is some glitches in it's communication with us, normal folks. Don't want to be too deep or anything, but I will be reveiling my top ten thoughts as to what I do NOT like about some things. Each day, I will reveal a new one. Today, I am reveiling number 10:

10. I hate that some trends don't last long enough!

I bet you agree with me. As soon as I find a trend that I like, you know, the kind of like that makes you want to wear it everyday, no seriously ,not everyday, but a lot? I do know that fashion is ever changing, ever evolving, but God, as soon as we get into the groove of this fashion thang, they go and change it all over again. Do you remember when big, feathered bangs were in? I do and I'm not that old, but I use to wear them. Also, when the trends we like leave the fashion scene, they just go and bring it back in style a couple of years later. And I'm thinking, "wait a minute, I just brought all of that stuff to the thrift store or gave it to the Salvation Army, I should have kept it ALL!" Right, instead of getting rid of all your old, out dated items, just keep, because trust me, their going to be back in style in a couple of years. And if not, still keep them, you can wear them and call it 'VINTAGE'. You know, vintage is code for, 'old but new again'.


Check out this totally 80's look by a young Madonna who actually wore this in the 80's....




Now check this pic of Kate Moss, some girl and Paris Hilton, now don't they look like they were at the same party as 80's Madonna?



But their in this century!! Prove's my point, EXACTLY!! What's the point of getting rid of anything except for to help maybe those in need not because you can't maybe use them again. Till next time, check back in to Concrete Threads to view my number 9, on Countdown to things I hate about people and fashion!

I've been asked a lot for opinion on what to wear and what not to wear this summer. We all wan't to be in fashion and in line with current Summer 08 trends, but we can do without the fashion mishaps or miscommunications. The definition of fashion miscommunication is wearing an ensemble or piece of fashion because you might have seen someone else wear it or 'do it' that way. PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS PEOPLE!!!! So I've brainstormed my own personal list of Summer fashion do's and don'ts.

Do's:
1. Wear bright summer colors
2. Play with different patterns and fabrics
3. Play with different accessories, such as earrings, handbags, shoes, etc.
4. Have more than one pair of nice sandals/summer shoes, that are versatile in color. They do not have to be very expensive, but quality and trendy
5. Make-up should be light and natural looking. Mauve's are in this summer.
6. Wear clothes that are tailored to your individual body shape. Example, it you are apple shape, do not try to wear hip-huggers. Take if from me, this is very unflattering. Pear shaped people pull this off very nicely. If you are pear shaped, try a nice baby-doll dress.
7. Make sure you dress light, summer light that is. Your attire should be in line summer trends, sandals, handbags, accessories. My pic's are grecian-meditarian style jewelry, gladiator sandals and a nice tunic summer dress-add a nice handbag and your set!


Don'ts:
1. Wear too short mini skirts, you know the one's that make it hard for a girl to bend over. We're trying to be sexy and fashionable ladie's, not 'HOOCHIE'
2. Never, never wear thick winter leggings or attire in 100 degree summer weather, this just make's us look foolish...
3. Please do not wear loud colors that are not blended well, example, other's think they spot a neon-orange walking a mile away
4.Do not pack on the foundation, powder, blush or any make-up. This is not the renaissance people. Make-up is for enhancement of what's already there, not painting on a totally new face.
5.Hair should be trendy, short or long, but HEALTHY. You can get away with pretty much anything in hair terms, but healthy hair is always in hair. Stay away from long, frothy bangs though. A little color or highlights are always in order.
6. Don't try to skemp around anything previously mentioned. You can definately find quality for less, but keep in mind, you do pay for what you get. So spending .99 cent on sandals might not be a good idea. They will definately fall apart before the end of summer. Shop around for deals on clothing, shoes and accessories. Remember a wise shopper is a happier shopper!!


Hope you guys find my list valuable.....let me know how it have helped you in your fashion journey.
