Tubes, tubes, tubes

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Colorful tubes! :)

What to do when you have so many tubes in your closet?. Tubes are great for that little coverage you need. Go for contrast colors. Wear it with a low V neck, a shear top or even a cool knit wear. Gives it a double layer look. Layers can be fun.

It can also cover some extra plush area on the side of your body and on the upper area. So when you wear your spaghetti or sleeveless top, you can try and match a tube with it.

When to wear a short tube or a long tube?. It all depends on the individual. Depending on what look you are trying to achieve.

  • Plunging neck line – short tube will do, no one will see anything below the breast area.
  • Chiffon (shear) – for that sex appeal, opt for short tube and show a little of that flat tummy. For the more conservative and sophisticated look, long tube will be suitable.
  • Knit wear – long or short will do fine.

* For those who are worried that the tube will run up the stomach, wear a short tube. Otherwise, long or short will just do the job. Wear whatever you are comfortable with.

Off Shoulder or Drop Shoulder?

Monday, April 28th, 2008

Baring shoulders

What’s more sexier than baring a little skin. Show off that sexy shoulder, either off or drop it at 1 side. One of the popular designs that has been hanging on for awhile. No matter it’s a top, baby doll cut or a dress, it will flatter most body size.

Off shoulder is great for any occasion. Gives out that sexy look with that girlie touch. A flexible top to match it with almost everything (ie: jeans,skirt,shorts). Be creative mix and match and see what type of look suits you.

Drop Shoulder has more of that sexy spice. Since it’s only on 1 side. Leave a mystery behind. Most guys thinks that your top is falling off and that can make their imagination run wild ;)

Off shoulder top drop shoulder top

Both looks great with almost everything. You can’t really go wrong with it. For plushy girls, opt for drop shoulder 3 quarter sleeves baby doll design. With this cut, you don’t have to worry for those plushy arms or plushy tummy, and at the same time still can be a little sexy.

Some off shoulder tops hugs around the arms, not advisable for plushy girls. Be safe and go with those that has flare sleeves or 3 quarter sleeves for more coverage.

Plush Size ?

Sunday, April 27th, 2008

What is plush size?

Plush size is what i like to call it chubby not “plus” size but just a little plushy :P . I know many of you plushy girls out there have problem finding the right fit. Or just stuck with the color black. You don’t have to if you know what is the right fit.

For those plushy arms, find a top that is not tight at the upper arms. Something that flares out (loose). A bubble 3 quarter sleeves usually will solve the problem. For some of us who likes that sexy feeling you can still wear sleeveless, spaghetti strap, bare back or halter tops, this little thing will do the trick. A crop top will do the magic for you. Wear your sleeveless top out, and if all of a sudden your feel conscious and like to cover your arms and shoulders, just take out the crop top and all together your upper body is covered and you have another look.

Some of your must wonder, what is a crop top? It’s a little top that looks like a jacket without any buttons or zipper and falls from your shoulder till a little after the bust area. Usually it’s long sleeves. It is also very handy and you can fold it up and put it in your handbag. (great item to bring along if you’re going to a movie)

I like my 3 quarter sleeves crop top. It is not too hot and does not give the appearance that is too covered up. I’ve also seen some short sleeves crop top. Not advisable, doesn’t serve it’s purpose. Pick a contrast color, you would not want it to look the same as your top.

*It also gives a good cover up for dinner dresses too* (depending on the material) Find the right one that can match your dinner dress.

For the plushy tummy. I am sure all of us is trying to hide it. Look for a top that is a little loose in the mid area. Some of you must be saying, ya we know that!. When i say loose, what i meant is that, it has a curve to your body. Not a big t-shirt or a oversize top. Basically something that is not too loose or too tight and it curves down to your body without making you look plushy. You must be thinking, that is difficult to find. Not exactly, i . candy is aware of that plushy size, and have this plushy fit. Reason being, there are just a lot of girls out there, that is plushy and still can look hot! :) .

On those 2 important area that i mention above, you now can stay away from the color black. Once you have the right fit, whatever color you have on will actually look the great.

Long tops, 2 in 1

Friday, April 25th, 2008

What are long tops? I like to call them 2 in 1.

long top long top 2

If you happen to see tops that looks slightly longgg, you are not seeing things. They are meant to be that way. Some of us must wonder, hmm….. 1. how do i wear this? or 2. what do i match it with? 3. where am i going to wear this at?. The answer is very simple.

1. You have to put it on and see how long does it fall on to your body. Some tops are longer and some are shorter. I suggest to go for the longer ones. You can do more with it.

2. You can match it with a pair of leggings, shorts or wear it alone as a mini skirt. It goes well with skinny jeans too. Wearing it with leggings you can put a soft belt on the hip area, that will give it a more stylish look. Go for contrast color. The belt might get lost in between your long top and leggings or whatever in betwen :P .

3. Well, you can wear it anywhere. Whether it’s hanging out with friends or a casual day at work or even to a dinner party. On that note, it depends on what type of long top you have. The material of the tops can make a lot of difference. Ex:

  • Satin can gives a classy look and most of the time it’s to be worn on dinner parties as a short dress or out on a date.
  • Cotton is the most common and it’s opt for a casual outing.
  • Rayon, depending on the design. It could be both mention above.

For me, i prefer to wear it with a pair of shorts or just wear it alone as a short dress. Gives it a more stylish look :) . It’s a great 2 in 1. 1 top 2 looks. If some of you are afraid the dress can be a little too short when you sit or stand. Wear a safety under pants or short leggings inside. You would not want to be uncomfortable the entire time worrying about your dress.

Don’t forget what’s on your feet! It will give the final touch up of what style you’re creating. Whether it’s casual, stylish or going to a dinner party.

* Before i forget, it will also go great with a pair of thick black stockings (that is if you wear it as a short dress). With that black stockings, the dress will not look so short. Then again some of us like that sexy look, go for bare legs!

Spring is in the air~

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

What’s up with this year spring collection 08? Been browsing around the fashion world and it’s floral and bright colors for this season. I’m not a floral person cause 1 wrong move u can end up looking like you are wearing yr grandma’s clothes. Not too sure how many girls would want that happening, but definitely not me.

Colors are fun, especially with bright colors! Great element to mix and match of any occasion. You will see lot’s of lime green, orange, red, hot pink and bright blue in this season. But don’t neglect white, it will always come in handy. If you are worried about looking fat in white, try to find the right cut. White does not necessary makes a person look fat. You may want try and lock up some safe colors, which are black, brown & grey.

Shorts are hot. Goes great with almost everything. Try khaki color instead of denim shorts. It has a softer look. Wear it with a pair of funky boots, slip on’s, heels, sandals whatever u can wear on your feet :P for that particular look you want to create. By the way it goes great with baby doll tops. And NO it does not make you look fat :) . Well…. it has good coverage for that little extra baby fat in places you may not want to be seen.
