PENCIL SKIRT

  A pencil skirt is quite versatile - and with the right accessories and styling, you can easily transform it from a plain librarian look into something more chic and fun.    What I really love about this type of skirt is that it's flexible enough to team up with most types of tops and shoes. Especially a simple black pencil skirt which can be worn as a part of a conservative office work outfit or for parties - or with your casual denim shirt!You can dress it up for work or parties, or dress it down for casual everyday wear. Just put on your sophisticated dress shirt at daytime and take it off and put on a slouchy tee and you're good...

While many clothing styles and options are available to us today, there’s nothing quite like owning your own distinct fashion. Here's how to craft a unique style that's entirely your own.  1.

Pieces that you keep should have a fit that's flattering to your body, as well as an overall look that blends with your shape.   2. Pick out the elements that you like. On the clothes that you do keep, evaluate what exactly it is that makes you like to wear them - such as the cut, the sleeves, the embellishments, or the color.

ANDROGYNY

Androgyny has always been a source of interest and intrigue. But as society's boundaries have changed, so too have the masculine-feminine boundaries blurred. From ambiguous sexual and physical attributes evolving to a more relaxed stance on gender-blurring fashion, we look at the changing face of androgyny - and how women's fashion is taking a masculine turn for summer.  The history books are littered with examples of androgynes who captivated society with their pleasant gender-bending confusion. But while the concept is not a new one, they were historically figures who rebelled against society’s norms. They were the Beau Brummels, the David Bowies, the Coco Chanels and Marlene Dietrichs. Now, with the boundaries of what’s acceptable being more and more blurred, the time...

The Art Of Living

  Art in some form or another has existed as long as man. It is a part of our daily lives and is present in cultures across the world. Most people have an appreciation for art. They enjoy observing it or creating it, they may even support it financially or by volunteering.   Art is integral in our culture because it provides us with a deeper understanding of emotions, self-awareness, and more. The following are all reasons why I believe everyone needs art in their lives.  Here are five reasons why I believe we need art:1. Art is a Natural Human Behavior:  Creating art is a primal behavior.

HOW TO WEAR A MINI SKIRT

Mini skirts are funny items that are never really out of style. Here's how to look amazing in one.   Choose the right skirt.  Not all minis are equal. Some have more space than others. The classic A-line and bias cuts flatter most women, whilst the tighter variety tends to work best on the long-legged, slim, younger wearer. - Very tight, short, or otherwise revealing minis tend to be favoured by younger wearers, or those with good physiques.   - A flowing mini creates a softer, more summery feel.   - Older wearers are likely to feel more comfortable in minis that don’t cling. Consider such choices as kilts, wraps and pleats. Darker colours are better for a more professional and elegant look.   - A high-waisted mini can give...

Since its arrival in the West at the end of the 17th century, the turban has been worn by women, both as an expression of glamour and as a way to keep hair in check.
