CK's Fashion Tip of the Month #7

Since this is the Lord’s Day, I’ll try to make it brief for my Fashion Tip.
First off --- here’s the latest trend in the Fashion World; came out fresh in the middle of last month. Normally I save the visual aids for Saturdays and we just had a “WTF” update yesterday; but in this case I wanted you guys to see it before you go crazy for it.
For those who know this trend already, don’t spoil it for the rest of the fans ~





They call it the “Grudge” look and they’re not too far off in the description.
These actually remind me of that Michael Jackson music video ‘Thriller’ when all the dead rose up to dance { :P}, especially the one on the far left.
The only thing it has going for it is that the homeless can stay in fashion this year. The one on the far right looks more like school girl trying to copy Avril Lavigne. And lastly, that is OBVIOUSLY a men’s garment for the girl in the middle; it’s hanging off her {looks like she raided my late Father’s cloest}!



Now that we got this new and ‘exciting’ look out of the way, let’s get started with part 4 of our “Must Haves” in which I think everyone not only SHOULD have in their arsenal but comes in handy when going clothes shopping~


NO-SLEEVES/CAMIS


The next best thing to ‘man’s best friend’ :)
What’s great about this little gem of knowledge is that this will NEVER go out of style; plus they go with everything and come in different colors and patterns for a fresh new look each time.
Although, I wouldn’t take this tidbit too lightly ---- even a ‘pro’ messes up this rule. There’s a possibility of overload.

So here’s what I’m gonna do.
Time for getting back to the basics {Veterans, bear with me; it won’t hurt to do a quick review}!

When getting no-sleeves and camis for the first time, get all the colors of the rainbow plus the neutral; I know one has some that don’t look right due to skin color but because they’re centered in the middle of your outfits, you can use different jackets to pair them with and also very handy for see-through garments.
If you plan for the middle to be a pattern, be careful. Pick one that doesn’t involve the color of diarrhea and vomit. Polka Dot, Leopard and Plaid are common but don’t have too many of them in your arsenal; they get dull pretty quick ;)

If you know when you're going shopping with the girls/fellas, this is what you should wear.
On more than a few occasions, it has saved a lot of headaches when I just wanted to try on a Tee, Sweater and/or Jacket {especially when one finds themselves in a store with NO dressing rooms (yes, those kinds of stores are still out there)}! 
I mean reality check here ---- you expect us to just grab a garment, wishing/hoping/praying that because you bought your size that it will MAGICALLY fit; only to bring it back the next time when you find out it doesn't. Plus adding insult to injury, tell us you can only get store credit [Hot Topic stores and Rainbow in Silver Spring, MD; I'm talking about you!!] to a place you don't even shop at often if ever and was on a spontaneous whim!
 
With this secret, you don't have to worry about that anymore ;)
Just change in the aisles ---- though I DON'T recommend trying that with any piece of clothing below the waist {even with leggings underneath}.



That’s all for my Fashion Tip for this month.
Hoped you enjoyed the extras!

In case you’re wondering, “Off the ‘Spice’ Rack” will be updated as will “WTF?!” however due to continuous conflict; “Being Real” might not be. Show up on Tuesday for the final verdict.
