Studio 54 Light, Camera, Action!!!!!

I don't know about you but, it's something about the disco era fashion that intrigues me.  I'm talking about the sparkles, fluorescent colors, sequins and metallics.  This summer is going to be the "Heavy Metal" summer.  Metallics are in, ladies.  When I say metallic I don't mean the flimsy material. I'm talking about linens, vegan leathers, silk and rayons.  The key to metallics is combining it just the right color.  Don't over do it.  You don't want to look like a disco ball.  Posted below is a few items from E'tiquette Putes

Dress Down Day At The Office For Upper Management

With prior experience of working in he corporate world, I understand the excitement of dress down day in the office.  It's almost have h same thrill that a child experience when they her "Early Dismissal".  You pick out your cutest jeans and mot stylish footwear for that day.  But, the down side to dress up day is they most employees in upper management are hesitant to participate.  Think about it when you see suits and dresses in a work place your mind automatically goes to he/she must be a person of importance.  Well, if you are part of upper management this post is specifically for you.  I am going to share with you some tips on how to wear jeans in the office and still maintain a professional appearance.

The most important part is to buy jeans that fit, perfectly.  You don't want boyfriend or loose fit jeans.    Boyfriend and loose fit jeans are baggy.  They tend to give off a relaxed, running to the mall and market appearance.  This doesn't mean that you should purchase skintight jeans but, a more tapered look.  Old Navy is a great, inexpensive store to shop for jeans.  You'll be surprised as to how much a nice blouse can dress up a pair if jeans.  Listed below are a few  suggestions of how to transform  a relaxed look to a corporate look with denim.  Please visit http://etiquetteputes.com for a head-start.  You will fall in love with the different selections.

Stepping Out Of The Box And Into Fashion

This post is about stepping out of the box.  When I say stepping out of the box in the terms of fashion of course mean wearing something that would never be expected of you.  If you prefer to wear black regularly add some color to it. This is why I love Solange Knowles's sense if fashion.  She takes bold chances with color and sometimes patterned garments that others play it safe with. This represents the birth of a fashion icon in my opinion.  So, I'm going to post a few items so that we can play around with mixing colors and a few patterns.

I remember  as a child hating polkadots.  It was one of the most hideous crime that mothers committed against daughters.  When I grew older I became a borderline fan of polkadots.  Now, as a grown woman I can  admit to totally liking polkadots.  The reason being simply because they are fun to mix-n-match.  Not just with colors but, patterns as well.  Posted below Is a plain mannequin and a few mix-n-match items.  i am going to show you how to not be limited when adding polkadots to your wardrobe.  Let's have some fun with polkadots on this mannequin.

Here's what we have to work with.  Now the test but fun has just began.  Check out below the outfits that you can create using patterns and colors.  Again, don't be afraid to step outside the box.  Be daring, be different, be you!!!

The Dos And Donts of Consignment Shopping

In this post I will be sharing a few tips about shopping consignment.  What is consignment?  Theoretically, it's a batch of goods destined for or delivered to someone. Realistically, it's a more appealing way to to describe second hand, thrift and re-sale shops.  Although, the first thing that pops in the consumer's mind when we hear "resale, second hand, consignment or thrift stores is "Deals".  That isn't always the outcome.  I am going to brief you on three main factors that can help you always find the best deals when shopping consignment.

1.   Always google the items questioned for purchase.  You need to check authenticity, original price of the brand and style and look for any signs of defect, permanent damage meaning marks and rips and complete details of listing(s).
 2.  If a shoe is selling for $200, you should find out the original pricing.  If original pricing is $400, ask the consigner if the price is negotiable.  That isn't a deal unless the shoe is brand new.  Otherwise, you are paying retail markdown for a pre-owned item.
3.  Never purchase undergarments, swimwear, girdles, or bodysuits pre-owned.  This is for sanitary and hygiene purposes.  It's never good to share panties with anyone other than yourself.
4.  DO NOT purchase any white garments pre-owned.  White is a very gentle and easily ruined color.   It can sometimes take on the appearance of being dingy after worn only once.  White shirts also are easily stained by deodorants.  They leave a yellow stain under the pits that are sometimes unremoveable.

Although, there are many more more tips that I have, these are just the ones that I find more important.  Hopefully, you these tips will help you the same that they have helped me.  Try them out by visiting htt://www.etiquetteputes.com
