Be Beautiful Springtime

Now that it is officially Spring I thought I would do a post on my first 5 do's and don'ts of Spring. Spring should a be a beautiful time. The weather is wonderful, the flowers are blooming, the sky is blue... and fashion should reflect this beauty.

1. Do wear ruffles. Ruffles are pretty and feminine and can really flatter the body if worn properly, however, they should not be worn head to toe.
2. Do wear springy colors (pastels or more vibrant aqua blues, a crisp white, or a coral pink). Don't get too crazy with the colors. You should wear one statement piece and find accessories and shoes to play it up. For example, you could wear a vibrant floral dress, a neutral cardigan, and a pair of shoes that may be the color of one of the colors in the dress. Just don't go too crazy with colors.
3. Do wear flattering tank tops and layer them with a light cardigan. A lot of people like to wear camis as a top on their own. I do not personally like this trend, but if you choose to do so, do not have your bra straps showing. If your bra and/or bra straps are ever showing you are wearing the wrong bra and or shirt.
4. Do check yourself in the mirror before you leave your house. If you bend over forward and you can see your boobs and/or stomach down your shirt then you either need to choose a different shirt or put something on underneath. I recommend a strapless bandeau bra to solve this problem. You can get them at target for between $10 and $15. If you don't know what a bandeau bra is Google it. NOTE: just because it is called a bandeau bra does not mean you should wear it as a bra. Some of us could, but just make sure you look appropriate. Also, if you turn around and touch your toes and you can see any lady parts and/or any part of your butt-cheeks you either need to change or put on something appropriate underneath. BE CLASSY LADIES!
5. Last but not least, do shave your legs. Don't walk around looking like a hairy beast. I know, for most of you this shouldn't need to be said, but looking around campus these days... let's just say I might start handing out shaving cream and razors.
