Ponytail Monday was invented way back when in high school. Something about a long and fun weekend and then back to the daily grind on Monday. My sister and I would come out of our rooms and realize we were both wearing ponytails. Then we would pick up our friends on the way to school and they were all wearing ponytails too! Enter ponytail Monday. Here are a few ideas to dress up your plain ponytail.
1. Braid it.
French braiding the front pieces is a great way to spice up a ponytail and keep your bangs out of your face.
Fashion Star
Are you loving this show? I like that it has almost no drama and is all about the clothes. I knew it was going to be my favorite show when it started so I turned it into a game. You can play too! There's only 2 rules:
1. You must guess if the designer will make a sale and which store it will be.
2. No buying any of the items (haha). This was to save my budget, not to be unsupportive to the designers.
Here's a review of the items the buyers chose this week in case you're not playing the game or just want to know for fun!
Love Your Skinny Jeans
I hear a lot of people say "Oh I love that style, I just can't pull it off." Skinny jeans is probably number one. Well I'm here to tell you that you can wear skinny jeans and look great! Here are a few tips that will help you work this look into your wardrobe.
If you have a curvy figure:
1. Choose a body skimming, not skin tight, fit.
2. Invest in quality jeans.
Skinny jeans have become mainstream and won't be going anywhere for a while. Do yourself a favor and buy a pair that will last and look polished.
3. Pair with a tunic top or long cardigan.
Practice balancing your body proportions by pairing tight pants with a flowy top. Covering your derriere just might give you the confidence you need to showcase your legs.
4. Purchase jeans that extend past the ankle.
They will elongate your leg and make you look taller. Pairing with heels or wedges will achieve the same look.
5. Go for a simple, dark wash.
Try cobalt blue for something different. Stay away from light colors and embellishments.
If you have a straight figure:
1. Choose a close fit.
2. Belt it.
Wrap a belt around your top to emphasize or create a waist
3. Bring it on!
The sky is the limit for you on this one. Try a light mint wash or a bold pattern for something new.
