Ways To Wear Skinny Jeans And Leggings

admin

Skinny jeans and leggings have become very popular, and stores like Newport News and Gap.com carry them in various colors, designs and materials. You might have picked up a pair and are now wondering how you wear them; below are some ideas on how to pair skinny jeans and leggings with some stylish and flattering outfits.

Skinny jeans are pants that are tapered to fit snuggly around your legs and usually are tight fitting around the ankles. There are some that have some stretching capabilities, but most are very form fitting. Leggings are like tights; they can be purchased in a variety of materials and they are very form fitting (and usually end at the calf or the ankle). A good rule of thumb is to not wear your leggings as pants; they are an accessory and should be worn as such. If you do wear leggings, you should have your behind covered; stick to long tunics, sweaters, shirts or jackets.

1. Long Cardigan and Skinny Jeans or Leggings

When you are wearing a long sweater, such as a cardigan, you can pair it up with either leggings or skinny jeans and create a stylish look. Black is a slimming color for the leggings or skinny jeans; wear a similar colored top and black high heels for a sophisticated look.

2. Boyfriend Jacket and Leggings

The oversized jacket makes a great pairing for your leggings, as long as the jacket comes down past your buttocks. You can wear a sexy blouse or colorful sweater under the jacket, but keep the leggings a neutral color that is close to the color of the jacket and your shoes.

3. Short Dress and Leggings

When a short dress is worn with leggings; this does not mean a micro mini, you dont want to look as if you forgot to wear pants. You can pair this outfit up with flats or heels and look casual and cool.

4. Mini Skirt and Boots

When you want to sport that mini skirt you just bought; think about adding a pair of high boots and leggings. You can pair up a cute top–one that has some flow to it–with the mini skirt and leggings for a cute and stylish look. Make sure your boots are at least to the knees if not above them to ensure the outfit is pulled together correctly.

5. Skinny Jeans and a Jacket

Skinny jeans look great with a jacket or blazer. You can enjoy having the super skinny legs while creating a low neck line with the blouse under the jacket to draw attention to your natural curves. You can wear the outfit with any style boot or heel and even flats if you are going for a casual look. Be sure you never wear bulky tennis shoes with skinny jeans or leggings.

Designer Handbag Rant

admin

When you see a designer handbag, do you only like it because of the designer name? If you saw it on another women’s shoulder without the designer logo visible would you still like it? For a lot of people (even though they won’t admit it) the answer is no! The majority of people interested designer handbags these days do not know much about the bags themselves, all they know is a designer logo or name. If these people were to see a Fendi Handbag right in front of them they wouldn’t know it was a Fendi unless they could see the logo, therefore they would not like the bag as much. Its extremely frustrating for women who own authentic designer handbags to get comments like oh I love your Prada Handbag but in reality if the women making that comment didn’t see the logo on her bag she wouldn’t look twice at it. A lot of handbag lovers these days don’t like the bag itself, they just like the logo, and just because these people recognize a couple logos doesn’t make them handbag enthusiasts.

Costume Jewelry Care Tips For Worn Out Costume Jewelry

admin

If you have old, worn out, seen better days costume jewelry just lying around gathering dust don’t throw it out. You can revitalize those dirty, outdated and broken pieces by following a few simple steps:

Worn out gold or silver plating:

Because typical costume jewelry plating is very thin it can eventually rub off from wear or become damaged from the use of harsh chemicals, creams, or perfumes. If this happens there are several options in gold and silver re-plating solutions that can be found online. Some are fairly simple and can be performed without the use of heat or electricity while others are a little more complex. I found one website in particular that offers a very good variety of plating options (e.g. immersion plating, pen plating) and general plating instructions for precious metals including gold, silver, platinum, and rhodium. It is www.shorinternational.com. Click on the contents and search box and then plating gateway. One word of caution: I would recommend buying only cyanide free plating solutions as cyanide is poisonous. For silver lovers there is one product that I have personally used that has worked well for me and it is called Silver Brite. This is an all in one cream that cleans, polishes, and re-plates worn silver on jewelry and other items. It is very easy to use and fairly inexpensive. Just rub the cream on with an applicator sponge or a Q-tip for small items and rub off with the buffing cloth that is included with the kit. The result is a clean, sparking silver finish.

Tarnished or dirty:

Cleaning costume jewelry is simple but choose your cleaner wisely. Only use a jewelry cleaner that specifically states that it is safe for costume jewelry and read the ingredients to make sure that it does not contain alcohol, acids, or ammonia because these can strip the gold or silver plate. Use a children’s soft bristle tooth brush for cleaning around costume jewelry stones. Its probably not be a good idea to immerse rhinestone jewelry because the stones can become unglued.

If your costume jewelry items are only lightly tarnished a good buffing with a soft dry jewelry cloth may do the trick. A good jewelry polish works great in restoring heavily tarnished items.

Loose or missing stones:

If a stone such as a cubic zirconia, plastic, or glass has become loose or fallen out a drop or two of super glue will do the trick. Just be careful not to use too much. You certainly don’t want the glue to leak out and cause the piece to stick to your skin or another object. Most of the time a single drop will suffice unless it is a very large stone in which case you may want to use two drops. If you cannot find the missing stone there are companies online that sell loose cz stones if you have a special chain or ring band you want to salvage. Simply do an internet search for cz stones.

Broken clasp:

If your necklace or bracelet has a broken clasp make sure it is the actual clasp that is broken. Be sure to check the jump ring which is a small metal ring with an open spot where the clasp attaches to the chain. If this is the problem it can be easily fixed. First identify what kind of clasp it is. There are several types (e.g. lobster clasp which is shaped like a lobster claw and has a tiny spring loaded lever, a magnetic clasp which is just as it sounds) then visit your local craft store or do a search online for jewelry clasps and you should find what you need. If the clasp is soldered on you will need to contact a jewelry repair professional.

Outdated:

If you simply want to add a new flair to your old costume jewelry pieces you can simply mix and match. If you have a pendant with sentimental value bring it to life with a more modern chain. Add new charms to your favorite bracelet or re-plate that old silver necklace with a shiny new gold finish. Be creative!
