| DeAnna's Style Tips for FAB Living.
I've noticed a trend happening, and I'm not happy about it. I've noticed this whole "comfy" look worn by women, and men, that's just downright unacceptable. I don't know who started this whole "its ok to rock pajamas to the grocery store," trend but whomever you are, I wish for you to take TWO SEATS!
Gone are the days when women dress like Women. And men dress like Men. Why? When did it become acceptable to wear leggings and an oversized shirt to business meetings? Or (men) stonewashed jeans, a ridiculously worn tee shirt and blazer to a first date? Not ok, people!
I hear it all the time, "I don't have a dispensable income to shop the way you do, DeAnna."Um, no no no! I beg to differ, my dear. I shop like a 75 year old cat-woman on a fixed income. I simply know how to shop for Staples that will take me year-around, and also help me look sharp, wealthy, and effortlessly fabulous.
Without further adieu:
1. A Statement Handbag
 |
Statement bags are great because they can really add that “oomph” to a look that is plain or lacking color as well as add an unexpected and fun element to whatever you are rockin’.
The great news is your bag does NOT have to match your outfit so you can cross off all the “do not mix colors and print” rules and LIVE!
2. Accessories
3. Personal Grooming
I love this slide! You'd think I wouldn't have to share this, but I do (she sighs).
Quick tips from the Etiquette Coach: Looking good is feeling good • Dress up properly for the occasion • A neat and tidy appearance is mandatory • Ensure that the clothes you wear fit you well • Do not wear too revealing clothes • Clothes must be ironed well and shoes polished • Avoid wearing too many ornaments or heavy makeup -Women • Hair and nails must be trimmed properly – Men • Use subtle deodorants/antiperspirants • Maintain oral hygiene • Wear clean socks – avoid body odor • Walk with confidence • These few tips and/or changes will have you walking with your head held high, looking good, and smelling good. Nuff said (drops the mic).
4. Undergarments
From a camisoles to strapless bras to shapewear, undergarments are the foundation of your look. For the sake of not boring you, please just take a quick gander at the list compiled in the image above. These few items are a MUST in the "foundation" department. Undergarments give you a smooth, polished, and solid look. Your posture will even change! I promise you.
Oh! If you're in need of a forreal shaper (NOT SPANX) that holds ALL the goodies, and gives an hourglass silhouette WITHOUT rolling down, send me a private email to: styledbydeanna@gmail.com I love these shapers!
5. Go Thrifting!
You'd be surprised how many amazing finds I've stumbled upon at the local Goodwill and Salvation Army. I've literally found a Coach Hobo bag (still tagged), Michael Kors shoes (still in box), and a beautiful Swarovski cocktail ring, Under $50 FOR ALL 3!! Yes, its true! Don't frown your nose at the screen, trust me. Take a little trip to Beverly Hills or Palos Verdes and I guarantee you'll hit the jackpot in these thrift stores.
Pssst! I have a little secret. There's this crazy amazing app I found that literally has thousands of high-end designer clothing for less than 80% off the retail price. Now I cant just go telling errrbody, so shoot me an email and I'll invite to this exclusive club. Yes, its invite only, honey!
Til next time, lovelies!!
