An eyelet skirt is usually lacy or
has ruffles with small cut-out shapes of flowers, stars or any other type of
accent. They are girly, fun to wear for warm months and look on point with any
type of jacket or blouse. Here are the best styles of eyelet skirts that go
well with any kind of shirt and shoe type.
Layered
A layered eyelet skirt usually has
three tiers and comes in a white or cream color. These kinds of skirts look
feminine and fun where comfort is not an issue. They are casual enough to be
worn with a simple grey T-shirt paired with a brown leather or faux leather
jacket. Layered skirts often are one of the most easy types of skirts that can
be worn on the go, and the eyelet is no exception. Wearing a layered eyelet
skirt with some brown flat boots is also quite essential.
Long and Laced
Long- to medium-length eyelet
skirts usually have three layers of having cut-out eyelets with some lace
trimming. They come in white and off white colors, but in recent years, dark
blues and even pinks can be seen. They are perfect for an offbeat summer look,
worn with some low sandals, even flip flops, and a big straw beach hat. A
short-sleeved blouse completes the look, especially if it has a bow tie around
it, adding something not so plain. Not only can it be worn with sandals, but
nude high heels make it a smash as well.
Mini Skirt Style
A layered eyelet skirt may be just
a little longer than a mini, but it simply does not have the same effect. A
short eyelet mini is cute and girly, especially in soft pastels without feeling
too exposed. They can be worn with short-sleeve blouses, never too long, since
this can create an off balance. Black or nude tights with heels add a bit flare
to the look, as well as keeping it cool and casual with some boots. No one can
go wrong when adding an eyelet mini to their summer wardrobe.
Eyelet skirts are enjoyable and
cute. Adding one of the above styles to a closet that needs a more wide range
of skirts will be advantageous in the long run. Ideeas byLin Andriyenko.
For as long as I can remember, I've always had
long hair. In fact, my long hair sort of become a defining characteristic for
me, one way in which people would refer to me, and once you mentioned the hair
it seemed like everyone knew who you were talking about. So, as a woman with
long hair, I've always tried to figure out ways to keep my hair long and yet
out of the way when I needed to be out and about.
I never did manage to
find a way to keep it safely out of my way, so I'd still have hair, keep it out
of my face, and manage to keep it looking nice. Not until recently that is.
While looking at Charmed fan sites one evening, I found an interview with a guy
named Mike McRoberts. Mike was talking to the interviewer about his product,
the Hairglove, which apparently was seen on several Charmed Episodes.
The site had shown
several pictures of the Hairglove, and with further investigation I found their
official website and began to look at their wide range of products. The basic
idea behind the Hairglove is something that any person with long enough hair
can wear. The Hairglove really is just like a glove, except that it wraps
around your hair once you have it in a ponytail. If you're worried about having
hair that is just way too long, you probably shouldn't because you can get
rather small 'wraps' to Hairglove's that are twenty-four inches long. And if
you seem to have super thick hair, don't worry, they have you covered too.
I decided to order my
Hairglove and within a week it had arrived. I ordered the eight-inch Hairglove
and had to try it out right away. First, you put your hair into a ponytail
using the elastic band that comes with your glove and then you slide the
Hairglove around your hair and make sure to slide the hook down into the
elastic band. Then, all you do is pull the Hairglove together and snap as if
you are buttoning a sweater or pair of jeans and you are finished!
No Crease Hair Tie
And really, it is that
easy. I'm usually intimidated by hair products, and this one was no different.
However, because it only took me a few seconds to put it into place, I didn't
have to worry about getting frustrated or messing up my ponytail only to start
all over again. Snapping the Hairglove can be a bit awkward at first, but once
you use it several times, you should not have a problem.
The great thing about
the Hairglove is, it comes in so many designs, all of which can practically be
worn with anything. There have a biker line of Hairgloves which are made from
leather, and they have waterproof neoprene Hairgloves that are great for
surfers or just for a trip to the beach. All of which prevent tangles and other
types of hair damage.
I know whenever I go
out and have my hair up in a ponytail or even done, I always seem to come back
with tangles, frizz and other problems. I wore my Hairglove on a very long trip
to the mall before Christmas and I came back to shiny, untangled hair.
The only downside I can
see to the Hairglove is the elastic band that comes with each glove. I've only
used my Hairglove a handful of times and it seems that the elastic band has
begun to stretch more and more with each use. It's great to get you started,
but eventually you will need to move onto another.
I would definitely
recommend a Hairglove purchase to anyone that asks about their products.Traci Brown
Audrey Hepburn had a simple elegance that is easily adopted even during an economic downturn. Many of her basic wardrobe staples may be in your closet right now. The key to pulling off the Audrey look lies in the execution.
Miss Hepburn had impeccable poise and good manners regardless of the situation. She perfected a very modest yet feminine look that women have envied and copied for years.
This is not a look that goes out of style, elegant woman of all ages and stages in life can take their fashion cues from Audrey Hepburn. Young professionals will save time and money by knowing precisely what to purchase and what to pass up in the stores. Older women can avoid the awkward dilemma of too young or too matronly clothing by sticking to a distinct Audrey Hepburn style.
Essential clothing items for an Audrey Hepburn look include:
White button down shirt, plain, menswear style without any logos or embellishments is best. Wear it tucked in or tied at the waist for an authentic look.
Skinny Jeans looked perfect on the tall, slender Audrey Hepburn, but you can substitute with a small boot cut or black straight dress pants if they suit your frame better. That is truly the key with her look; she instinctively knew what looked best on her and stuck with it. I encourage anyone who wants to copy her look to first find the silhouette that works the best and stick with a brand or designer that fits your budget.
Black Capris, the same advice can be said of capris. Look for a length and cut that maximize your assets.
Little Black Dressis the epitome of Audrey Hepburn elegance. The dress should be a modest, plain and preferably sleeveless sheath. With a sleek updo and long opera gloves this look just drips glamour. Keeping the dress itself extremely simple allows for multiple variations with the addition of a scarf or jewelry.
Black Ballet Flats : Audrey wore these comfortable shoes to compensate for her height. The timeless simplicity of ballet flats can be worn with both pants and dresses.
Scarvesadd versatility and personality to this minimal look.
Black turtleneck, Audrey often wore a black cashmere turtleneck, her signature black skinny jeans and black ballet flats as an everyday look to the studio.
Each of these items ought to be the highest quality you can afford. Always think quality rather than quantity. The pieces can be acquired from the highest end stores to thrift shops, depending on your budget. The Audrey Hepburn look is more than the clothing; she was a graceful and giving woman who embodied femininity. Working on your style should always involve more than just what you can purchase.
Accessories
Other than the occasional scarf, accessories for an Audrey Hepburn look are very simple. She did not like flashy jewelry, preferring small diamond studs and a pearl or diamond necklace. Look for a leather handbag with wooden handles or other very classic shape in real, or fool proof fake material. Oversized sunglasses were another staple in her arsenal of basic accessories.
Makeup
Audrey Hepburns makeup is just as easy to emulate. Use a light touch on your skin to even out the tones, without creating a heavy look. Then focus on the eyes. Her large doe-like eyes were helped by perfectly shaped brows and liner, mainly on the top lid, extended slightly to create a cat like appearance. Slide a light pink lipstick or gloss and a touch of blush for a complete make over in five minutes.
Hairstyle
Long hair can be swept up in a bun, French twist or a casual half up/half down style. Short hair can be snipped into Audrey Hepburn's trademark pixie cut.
All of these individual items go into creating the perfect Audrey inspired wardrobe. Use this outline, but feel free to add colors or patterns that make the collection more suited to your individual taste and especially remember that her appeal went far deeper than just skinny pants and perfect posture. One of her favorite poems, which is often accredited to her, was written by Sam Levenson.This poem explains the essence of her style,and life, philosophy.
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.
The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!
