Pulling Off Red Plaid


 Plaid returns almost every fall. It's no exception this fall, when red is the it color. Why not pick a red plaid print then?

Red plaid is more flattering than solid red in a number of ways. First, plaid divides the horizontal view and can therefore optically trim your body. Secondly, solid red may make your lips look not red enough by contrast, but red plaid won't have that undesired effect. Thirdly, plaid is preppy, and preppy equals youthful.

The list can go on. I'll just stop here. Happy shopping!

Spicing Up a T-shirt & Denim Skirt Combo

  It's easy to put together a T-shirt and denim skirt combo in summertime. A denim skirt works just as well as denim shorts in hot weather but looks slightly more formal. It's therefore more versatile. Why not pick a watercolor print T-shirt with some blue color on it to pair with your denim skirt? It will look more colorful and thus more cheerful than a plain T-shirt. It's also a good idea to belt your denim skirt. Please note that belts will be on trend this fall. So a belt will make you fashion forward. Before fall comes, happy summer!

Clueless-Inspired Yellow Plaid

Image
  Can you believe it was 30 years ago when Clueless became a hit? Those of us who were kids then may still be kids at heart. So, why not put on a yellow plaid skirt for the sake of nostalgia? A yellow plaid set like Cher Horowitz's may be an overdose, too flashy for a grown-up when it's still two weeks away from Halloween. So, I chose to pair the yellow plaid skirt with this year's butter yellow crop jacket as an update. A light jacket is warm enough in the mild October weather of California. Honestly speaking, I'm now a little skinnier than I was in middle school. It takes a lot of discipline to constantly maintain a slim body figure after losing excessive puberty weight, but it's doable. I'm living proof. Willing to share my weight management tips with anyone interested. Happy autumn!
