A slip dress is not only a sexy little slip of a thing. It can be worn solo in the summer, of course, or when you’re feeling sexy….But does it really have to be sexy? The answer is no. You can wear it night or day and do so many things with it! Layer under and/or over it: light layers during the spring and summer and heavy layering during the fall and winter. You can add as many layers as you want. It makes the slip dress wearable for all. Age doesn’t matter.
This is an update on how to layer a slip dress during warm weather. My next post is an update on how to layer a slip dress for cool or cold weather.

Do you have clothes that are too skimpy, too tight, too short or too revealing for you to feel good wearing them? You don’t have to wear them out in public the way they are, yet you don’t have to get rid of them. You could, however, wear them at home with your significant other! 😉 But today I’ll share tips with you on how to be more modest in absolutely anything body conscious so you can go out anywhere, anytime in comfort and confidence.

Now that we’ve gotten used to wearing comfortable clothes during the Coronavirus pandemic, we don’t want to give up that laid-back feeling. But we really want to look good too, so designers have come up with new ways to do just that. This spring, there are loose designs of just about every item of clothing, including jeans. So there is a resurgence of flared jeans once again. They come in a wide variety of styles — from ’70s bell-bottomed versions to a more modern kick-flare leg, as well as crops. Age doesn’t matter because there’s a modern way of wearing flares. And when you do that, there’s the benefit that it makes you appear younger! So let’s take a look at the fundamentals of how to look terrific in flares.
First of all, if you don’t wear jeans you can get flares in materials other than denim. To get away from the casual look, opt for a dark shade of flared jeans like black, a clean looking white, or even a navy blue in a plain style without rips to get a more classic feel. Also, you can get flares in fabrics that dress up the look. Or you can even buy trouser flares.
Now here are the fundamentals on how to look terrific in flares, starting with basic styling tips and followed by outfit ideas!

Hello, and welcome to another in my series of Style Tips! Now that the weather is warming up here in Detroit, I feel ready to go sleeveless. With that in mind, I have a new style tip to share with you. As a bonus, I have (guess what?) ways to wear it! 😉 That’s my specialty.
Age doesn’t matter. If you don’t like to show your arms, you can add a lace or sheer or fishnet top underneath your sleeveless top. Or you could wear a t-shirt under it. Or you can just go sleeveless in your home with your loved ones, and then add a sheer or lightweight layer on your way out the door. There are infinite possibilities…well, almost. Lol!
Whatever you decide, check out my Style Tip of the Day.

Were you almost ready to get rid of tops that were too short? Have they been sitting in your closet for a long time not being worn? What do you do when you have a top that you consider to be too short?
You can add a top extender underneath it to make it longer! Age doesn’t matter. There are different kinds of top extenders, or what may be considered tunic-length tops with a hem made of lace, ruffles or chiffon.
Previously, I wrote about skirt extenders. They are used to lengthen tunics or dresses that are too short for you. You can read about those in my post, “What in the World is a Skirt Extender?” HERE.
A top extender or tank extender can be worn with a kimono, vest or any top over it. Then you can add skinny or straight-leg jeans, pants, leggings, jeggings or a slim skirt.
Why don’t you choose a top extender and look through your closet for all of the tops you could possibly pair it with? Use my ideas below, or make your own list of outfit ideas for the weeks ahead!
