Stealing Style from Celebrities
Everybody might not be able to be a celebrity; however, with the right attitude, a few fashion staples and great accessories just about everyone can look like a celebrity. The key to a silver screen, fashion-forward wardrobe is the ability to never look over done and to pay great attention to the small details. So Ring the Alarm, with a few simple tricks you can look just as bootilicious as Beyonce and as polished as Jessica Simpson.
Rule number one is simple…know day from night. Elementary, eh? Well, believe it or not, to most people it's not as simple as it may seem. The biggest faux pas is too quite simply be overdone. Notice the keyword in the sentence was simply, meaning simple. As a rule of thumb, whether in fashion, or writing or talking, "Keep it simple, stupid." Now, with that said, let's move on. The quickest way to look like a joke instead of a starlet is to wear intricate and strappy shoes that are anything but comfortable on a bright sunny day. And unless you want to look like the celebrities from the Playboy Mansion on the show the Girls Next Door, save heavy makeup and tiny clutch bags for your late night rendezvous. Instead opt for the big oversized bags that work better for daytime and are oh-so stylish. However, leave the big time celebrity prices for the stars and opt to shop savvy at places like Marshalls, TJ Maxx and Filenes Closet which carries the best quality for the least prices.
The second rule to pulling off a silver screen look is to create your own signature style by accentuating your positives. Do not copy off of one person as it may not look good on your shape. Take advantage of your plusses and your negatives. For instance if you have a wider waist, but a lovely thin and defined collar bone opt for wrap dresses and blouses with deep plunging v necks. This will accentuate your lovely features around your collarbone area while cinching in your thicker waist making it appear thinner. For pudgier tummies and great backs and broad or full beautiful shoulders try oversized blouses that drop tightly below the stomach and gracefully fall off one shoulder. No matter what type of shape you have remember our first rule of keeping it simple so that you avoid busy prints that add to much. Stick with solid in bright colors and of course mettalics and black is always sexy.
Believe it or not, the best dressed part of your wardrobe is quite simply your hair. By nature, no matter how great your ensemble looks on you, if your hair is not well groomed it is still a fashion no-no. Make sure you incorporate both of the fashion rules into your hair styling. Big overdone hair will certainly take away from a classic look as well as you should definitely make sure that your hair fits your face. If you were blessed with bold striking feature like Heidi Klum or Vanessa Williams make sure you wear your hair back and away from your face. You can make a simple pony tail look stunning. Be able to change or play your hair up with the different items in your wardrobe. Therefore it is a true fashion no-no to pick a short choppy hair cut that is not able to be changed or moved.
So now you have all the keys to open the right doors in fashion, style and grace. By utilizing these simple rules you will look as gorgeous as a celebrity without all of the drama.
