Style Mistakes to Avoid

Why should we be concern about our appearance?
Because it's important to our career, romance and to influence those around us.

Learn what works for your body

It's a Scientific fact that when people don't know you ~ they'll make their mind up about 
you in 30 seconds or less. That's all you got!First impression is based on your appearance !Not your Talent!
We have to admit, in today's society ~ clothes does matter!
50% is your appearance ~ 50% is your talent.

No one takes you seriously if you're a reluctant person.
They'll judge you by your appearance, thinking if you're reluctant on appearance, you're probably reluctant on your spiritual and professional life as well.

We don't have to be a size 0 or look like a model ~ or even wear expensive name brands 
But we do have to look professionals and presentable  

 Style Mistakes to Avoid:
 1)- buying what ever you find just because it's on Sale
 2) -stretching your money to buy as many cheap clothes as you can
 3) - you'll have lots of clothes and nothing good to wear
 4) - wear all over animal print
 5)- wrinkled clothing
 6)- too much make-up
 7)- too much accessories
 8)- hems and cuffs way-to-long
 9)- panty lines
10)-wearing wrong or too many colors
11)- clothes that do not suit or flatter your body
12)- clothes that don't fit  ~ way too tight - skimpy blouses
13)- spandex
14)- same hair and clothes style for ever and ever
15)- following other people style and taste

When it comes to color always remember that less-is-more 
It’s important to match the color of your clothes to your skin tone 
Limit each of your outfits to a maximum of three colors or shades to maintain a coordinated look.
You want the focus to be on you, not the overwhelming color of your clothes 
If you have dark skin, you can either wear dark colors or bright colors that match the strength of your skin color. 
If you have very fair skin, lighter colors are most flattering on you – like soft pastels or icy colors.

Never rely on Media, Magazines or TV shows about fashion produce to rule your wardrobe and your style.
Remember those clothes are for models and they are expensive
Adopt the concept of it make it your own by bringing it down to your budget

Best Eye Shadow Colors For Your Beautiful Eyes


The most important thing to know about make-up is:




#1- discover what works for you
#2- learn what color goes with your eye color and skin tone
#3- where and when to wear what color

Good Makeup is looking natural but flawless, without overpowering your natural beauty.

                                                     
                                                        How much is too much???
Don't overdo your look with too much makeup! 
Makeup was made to enhance your natural beauty. 
Too much of it, steals your natural beauty.

The first step to a makeup routine is always know when is too much! too much blush* too much mascara* to much eyeshadow *** girls that's not makeup, that's a mess! sorry:-))




I love natural palette eye makeup.  
If you never used Eye Shadow or you don't like it to heavy start with:
a)- neutral colors
b)- bronze  
c)-gold
Once you get used to it then you can start to add colors.

Best shadow shades to bring out your eye's color: 
* Hazel Eyes:
This eye color can handle many shades of eye makeup. Try champagne tones with violet,   gold, blue and green  shades. You can choose a wide variety of purple shades like lilac, plum, violet, eggplant, etc. to make your eyes look attractive. Shades such as lilac, lavender, violet, plum and even eggplant can really make your eye color pop.
Avoid:
 blue and gray as eyeshadow for hazel eyes, as they clash with the natural colors of your eyes.

*Blue Eyes:                   
 rosy pink with gold undertone, brown, rose, lavender and neutral shades. Try metallics both silver and gold work well, turquoise and icy pink. Choose dark blue the dark blue tones help to bring out the natural blue tones in your eyes.
Avoid:
the same blue tone as your eyes

*Green Eyes:               
 plum, violet, chocolates, coppers, golds and dark green. Using a shade of green that is darker than your eye color will make your eyes appear larger. Stick to warm colors rather than cool tones. Bronze, copper and gold looks absolutely fabulous with green eyes for evening.
 Avoid:
 blues, purples and even some pinks. If you want to experiment with metallics, avoid silver shades. 

* Brown Eyes:
basically any color flatters your brown eyes.You truly can wear almost any color of eye makeup if you have medium brown eyes.  Try plum, forest green, charcoal gray, dark browns or mauves, gold, violet or bronze
Avoid:
pale frosty pinks; they’re not strong enough to balance your big brown eyes.



                                             



In order for your eye shadow to look flawless and  last all day without cracking you must:
 a)- apply eye shadow base for stay put powder
 b)- a define eyeliner makes all the difference

How Can We Master Fashion Trends God's Way?

How can we master Fashion Trends God's way? With a spiritual strategy!

Horizontal and Vertical lines
It's simple ~ just use the strategies of Counter - Trends!  
To follow Fashion Trends is not a sin ~ allowing it to control us ~ that's a sin


The only way for a woman of God to master Fashion Trends is to focus on her Principals
Because we're a woman of God ~ it doesn't mean we have to be Old-fashioned and Out-dated on our Styles and appearance.  


We can move with the world ~ but we can not belong to it
So, how then can we live in this world and enjoy all the Fashionable Trends like everyone-else without allowing it to consume us?


#1- Is to know who we are
#2- Is to know whom we represent and trying to please 
Once we've focused on this two principals ~ than we'll come up with two Self- Challenge: 


Vertical Counter-Trends ~Against ~ Horizontal Trends 
a)-vertical counter trend ~ means your priority is pleasing God
b)-horizontal trend  ~ means your priority is to Fit-in with the Crowd   


To Counter-Trends ~ is to go agains it, go around it, make a way, find a way to make it work your way!
When our concern is to please God, we'll find a way to manipulate the Fashion Trends making it our way ~ that's what I call Counter-Trends
We capture the idea ~ and we add a little twist to it


For example:
a)- if see-through clothes is the hot trends ~  wear it with an under shirt 
b)-if the cut is way too small                   ~   buy it  few sizes bigger
c)-if the blouse is too short                      ~   layer it with a longer blouse underneath 
d)-if every one is wearing skinny jeans   ~   wear it with those mini dresses or a heap length loose blouse


 If everyone else is maximizing their credit cards going bankruptcy with those outrageous name brands ticket prices just to Fit-in, for the sake of Fashion ~

We in the hands because we have no concerns in Fitting-in, we find a way to do it within our limits, keeping it simple and our minds focused on what's more important but ~ still looking great by using our head and taking advantages of Sales.  
So who said a woman of God can't follow Fashion Trends? huh who said?


"A wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down".

How to Have Your Own Defined Identity Style

                                                 Definition!!!
A Define person is not Doubtful 
Definition is the key of life!
An undefined person is a doubtful person that doesn't know what they want.
To be a Defined person is to have your own individual personality and taste.
A Defined person is a person that knows exactly what they want.

A Define person is a person that is not afraid to take risks or decisions wether is in their Spiritual Life or Lifestyle.
A Define person don't be wavering before two decisions or asking others for their opinions  They just go with their guts ~ if it works fine ~ if it doesn't, well at least they'll learn what not to do.  

Same law applies for Fashion: Definition
When you're a Defined person you may admire a person's Style ~ but you'll be able to capture the idea and turn it around and make it your own.
A Defined person is a Detailed person from head to toe.

Definition is a #1 thing that guarantees your look to be Flawless.
In order for your Fashion Style to be Flawless ~ you must know where you want to go with it.

Before getting dressed Define ~ Decide on what's gonna be your Statement Piece.   
Is it:
a)- your hair
b)- your make-up
c)-or your clothes


Pick one to be your Statement:
1-Statement is the most Dramatic one that calls attention
2-If you define your Style from head to toes ~ the attention will be in the good way
3-without self Definition you'll get lost in the Fashion world

We all age of course but we don't have be saggy and droopy!

Who said your face has to be saggy and droopy as you age?
We can get Older Graciously with a nice firmed and toned face.
Age should not not be an excuse. It all depends on how you take care of your self.

My uncle is 91years old and he looks great!
My aunt is 80 and she looks great!
My mom is 74 and she looks great!

All three of them look and feel amazing! My aunt and my mom can still do all their choirs and errands all by them selves. They eat healthy and walk at least an hour every day.

So you see, its not the age, but how you take care your self.


A facial massage is good for every age.
If you start taking care of your skin while young, less work you'll have as you age.
Eating healthy, exercising and taking care of your skin while young will make your
make-up glow beautifully and help you as you age without the sagging and drooping.

Does Fashion Overwhelm You?

Who said you have to be a Fashion Slave in order to be a Fashionista? Who?
Well I like to call it ~ me ~ transmitting forth my inner joy

Some people get Overwhelmed with just the thought of Fashion.
I've heard people say: I don't have time for Fashion, or I have no money for it, others might even like to be Fashionable but just don't know where to start.

Some people get overwhelmed because they start thinking: hair, makeup, fashionable clothes, my God where do I start?
So, since they don't know where to start ~ so they take the easier way out - they do nothing!

Some people are afraid to try something different ~ so they stick to their safe Style for fear of failure.

There's not one person in the world that has never had a bad experience in life.
Unless you make mistake you'll never learn!

How would you know what looks good on you?
How would you know for example, if a Red lipstick would look good on you?
Unless you give a try, you will be for ever wondering - could-it, should-it, maybe, can I......

 You might be saying to your self I would love to try something different but I'm skeptical of the outcome.Well, you might love it the first day, or you might have to get use to it.
Some people's Style are so old and outdated that it becomes their Logan just because they're afraid of change.

If you want to be a little more Fashionista - but don't know where to start, try this method.


A Fashionista recipe for Dummies: :-)))* sorry my daughter Elsie told me I have to give Fashion recipes for dummies
 we have: hair, makeup and fashionable clothes

Pick the one you like the most, the one that comes more natural to you, and put a little more effort and experiment something new. It's easy just concentrate on one change at the time so you don't get overwhelmed or lose your principles for the sake of Fashion.

For example: Hair 
a) try a new color
b) a new cut
c) or a nice style with some hair jewelry will do the trick

Make-up:
a) try a new lipstick shade
b) try a Red gloss if you're a little intimidated by the Red lipstick until you get use to the idea
c) try a new eye shadow color or try bronze eye shadow and a nice eye inner just for a  nice shimmering eyes
d) try a different color blush ~ pink peach or bronze

Clothes:
a) if you only wear pants ~ open your horizon and try dresses and skirts 
b) if you only wear dresses and skirts ~ try on some beautiful Ann Taylor or whatever pants' style you like.
c) if you only wear Jeans ~ try some nice casual comfortable  colorful pants instead
d) if you only wear flats ~ try a little 2"heel for a change
e) if you only like dark colors ~ try some nice solid easy to match colors like: red, pink, burgundy, army green etc.
f) change the colors or size of your bags 
g) go for some statement jewelry
