Wear the seasons fabulous shoes, handbags and jewelry
Wear only boots and booties with my narrow pants and leggings
Step out in style in a wedge heel
Make a splash in the boldest reds I can find
Never underestimate the power of black
Find and invest in the perfect handbag and keep it for years
Wear the biggest, boldest ring on my well manicured fingers
Never wear anything but a thong under leggings.
I will NEVER leave the house without a piece of big, bold gold jewelry

LEGGINGS 101
Leggings are so versatile because they cover the body yet are very sexy
Here is the skinny on how to wear the new, updated version of leggings.
- Matte black leggings go with everything from a long tunic to under a black cocktail dress.
- Ribbed leggings elongate the leg but make sure you don't OD on pattern. If you are doing a ribbed leg keep the top a simple texture and avoid thick rib knits and corduroy.
- Grey ones can be worn with dark, muted colors like deep maroon, navy and purple.
- Stay away and avoid sheers. The best are opaque. I know you have seen some celebrities in the magazines wearing white leggings but dark colors are the best. The white ones remind me of the long johns the cowboys wore in those old westerns.
- Don't forget proportion; whatever you wear over leggings should hit between the bottom of your tush (your bottom) and above your knees.
Keep your look from being dated. In the 70's and 80's we wore leggings as pants (remember the stirrup pants) Today's are accent pieces and worn in conjunction with something. In other words, they are not stand alone garments.
AVOID a thick legging. It can literally change the shape of your leg. Consider your figure when wearing them, as they can add bulk to the lower half of your body.
AND NOW THE SHOES - (my favorite subject)
Here is the nice thing about leggings- they work with almost every type of shoe- heels, flats, ankle boots.
Ankle boots, especially the rounder toed ones, look tough and sexy with leggings for either day or night.
Wear slim black leggings with heels. This not only looks FABULOUS but creates an illusion of a longer leg.
Flats and Mary Janes also work with leggings as do Ballet slippers.
Now raise your hand and take the pledge to make fashion for Fall all about having fun!
