Chapter One: Style

Understanding Your Bodytype2

All women are not made the same, even though fashion designers seem to like to think so. Finding clothes that will fit you appropriately can be very frustrating and seem impossible. The key to finding great outfits is understanding your body shape. The female body has been described as having six different shape categories: the apple shape, the pear shape, the hourglass, the inverted triangular and the rectangular figure. Women with an inverted triangular body shape type are usually assumed to be athletic, even if they don’t compete in sports or pursue other physical activities. Women who have the inverted triangular body type have broader shoulders than other body shapes. And when it comes to fashion, there are some

basic style guidelines that can help them find appropriately fitted clothes. The style don’ts: When wearing jackets and blazers, remove the shoulder pads because the extra padding will draw emphasis to the shoulders where it is not needed. The style dos: To create a more balance silhouette, wear blouses and tops that are in darker colors paired with flowing skirts. Also, wearing flared slacks and pants in a lighter color to balance out your shape is suggested. An apple body shape type is used to describe women with fuller figures, and having an fuller figure can be a little challenging when finding outfits that complement your figure. Here are some fashion tips to help rock that you into fashion fabulous.The style don’ts: Stay away from tight fitting clothes, because they often draw too much attention to the lower waistline. The style dos: Wear dresses that have the Empire waistline, these types of dresses will be exceptionally flattering to your figure. Wear blouses and shirts that are colors, and wear accessories that will draw attention to your face. Women who have the rectangular figure or ‘boyish frame’ have a balanced figure, bust, and hips, but lack a waistline. Women who have this body type have no trouble finding clothes that fit, but having too many options can cause fashion overload. Here are some style guidelines to help you find a rockin outfit.The style don’ts: Avoid wearing too much loose clothing. The loose clothing will emphasis too much of your small frame and won’t be flattering.

3Understanding Your Bodytype

The Five Body Types

The style dos: Wear jeans that are straight legged and slacks that are flared. To create an impression of a waistline, use a waist belt. The pear body shape describes women who have more defined hips and thigh. This can be taxing when you are looking for clothes that will fit you right. These styles guide lines will help you find clothes that will make you a fashionista. The style don’ts: Stay away from light colored jeans and pants, because the light colors won’t flatter your shape type. Also avoid wearing tight fitted clothes as well.The style dos: For jeans and pants wear darker colors and wear clothes that are A Line in style to help balance out your shape. The hourglass body shape is used to describe women who have a well defined waistline and a little fuller bust and hips. When trying to find

clothes in the latest styles and it can be very limiting, because it seems like there is nothing that will look right on you. So here is some style guidelines that will help you became a fashion expert. The style don’ts: Avoid wearing anything that doesn’t have a fitted waistline because clothes that are loose and flowing will make you look a little more heavy set. Also, stay away from fitted light sheer blouses, because it will draw too much attention to your bust line.The style dos: Wear jeans and pants that are boot cut, because this cut works with curvier frames. And wear dresses that have fitted waistlines, and the same with blouses and shirts. I hope these fashions guide lines will help you find clothes that will fit you right and help you look like someone who knows what style is.

Dress Your Age4

When women hit their thirties, the styles lines get blurred because they’re right in the middle of the age spectrum and crossing over to a little more mature, graceful style from being twenty years old can be hard. Many women seem to think that a way to look younger is to dress like someone who is younger than they are. There isn’t anything wrong with wanting to look a little younger, but there is a limit. When a woman who is 30 years old is trying to dress like an 18 year old, it comes out as a horrendous mess. Women need to understand that there is such a thing as a cut off age when shopping at certain stores. For instance, a woman who is 30-35 years old and shopping in a

clothing store that is designed for people who are around 15 to early 20s is a big no-no. This type of clothing store is for young women who are not in the working world yet, and can still have a more laid back youngish style. The reason why so many women go in this type of store when they are older, is because they want to look young and fun. Here are some tips to help you look fun and youthful for 30-35 year old women. For a causal outfit, instead of wearing shorts and shirts, wear a button down shirt dress in a solid color with s waist belt or sash. For shoes, wear a pair of ballet flats, and for jewelry wear some bracelets that are a little chunky but not too chunky, this will add little playful flirty ascents to the outfit. To look youthful but still be refined, wear a pair of shorts in the sailor style and pair with a wide striped tee, preferably in long sleeve. Finish off the outfit with red wedge shoes and a red beaded necklace. And for a night out around town, wear a pair of metallic straight legged jeans with a tank that is a gold color. This metal inspired look goes great with a black fitted blazer. Finish off this outfit with a pair of black patent leather heels that have metal studs accents and a metal daggled necklace. I hope these fashion tips will help you find your better style, and help you move on from the junior department. Just remember that leaving your twenties isn’t the end of the world, and you can still look fun and youthful without looking like someone who is trying to hold on to the past.

Clothes for the Work Place 5

And these will help you to dress smart and classy, not trashy. Here are the style dos and don’ts when it comes to wearing a suit blazer jacket with a skirt.The style don’ts: For the blazer when wearing it, if you’re well endowed do not button the jacket because it’ll emphasis your chest. Fuller figure women shouldn’t wear a blazer that is a very loose fit because the loose fit won’t be flattering to their figure.

Social Media & You

Chapter Two: Social Media Behavior

In today’s world everyone is a part of the social media culture and there is no way that you can’t be a part of it. The social media culture truly came into existence in the new millennium 2000s with the creation of MySpace, then followed by Facebook. And from that, the social media culture took off. But there is a down side to the social media phenomena, in that it causes people to become addicted to the need to over-share their lives with the world. This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be a part of any social media network, but there are some basic guides lines that will help you not be a social media addict. First, you need to set a limit for yourself on how much time you’ll spend on a social media site. This will help you control your urge to follow another person’s media feed, or over-work your own. Second, when you do tweet or post something, also have a limit on how many posts you should publish in one day. Because updating your feed every minute on what you’re doing at that certain time is kind of

bordering on being a pathetic cry for attention. And we ladies don’t want to be labeled as that needy woman who needs constant attention from others to feel special. So instead of posting every minute, limit yourself to at least five posts throughout the day to update your feed and spread them out throughout the hours of the day. Third, when you’re out with friends don’t constantly check your cell phone. It’s not only rude, but it makes you look like a person who doesn’t care about others if you aren’t part of the discussion. Also, it will make your friends feel like they’re not important to you if they can’t have your full attention since you are giving your full interest to your phone instead. The best way is to put your phone away so it won’t be a temptation to you. By doing that, its shows your friends that they have your full undivided attention and that you want to be a part of their conversation. I hope these tips will help you have lives that don’t revolve around social media, and that

7Posting Regret

In today’s world, nothing is private anymore and anyone can find anything they want about you online whether you allow it or not. And this can lead to you getting into some embarrassing situations that can be difficult to handle. Here is some advice to help avoid these type of situations caused by thoughtless posting. Sometimes these awkward postings happen when someone is an emotional state of mind and use social media as an outlet for their frustrations. And once these postings are on the net they can’t be taken back; even if you have deleted them someone still will have seen your post. For example, you had a bad day at work and you want vent about it, so you go to your computer or smart phone and write about how ‘so and so’ did or said something to you. That situation right there is one of the reasons you shouldn’t have a public page, because you can

get into serious trouble with the company you work for. Because now companies keep watch on what their employees are doing on social media sites. Another way to avoid posting regret is to not make your page public for others to see it. By keeping it private you don’t have to worry about what you post and then having that post coming back to haunt you. And instead of posting your frustrations on the web, try talking to a friend over the phone or go somewhere and talk it out with them. This is the best way to let out your frustrations and also the healthy way as well. Doing this when you have a bad day or are having an emotional crisis instead of relying on social media, can help you avoid posting stuff that can cause you trouble down the road. I hope these tips will help you avoid posting regret.

10 Protecting Yourself

When social media was starting out, many people didn’t realize that social media had a sinister side to it that people would use against others to cause harm. And that people were putting themselves at risk or making themselves easy targets to these threats by sharing their personal information and making it easier for people to use it against them and cause havoc in their lives. For instance, identity thieves can easily steal your identity and create a false account of you on these social media sites by stealing your personal information. And when they start impersonating you, you won’t even know that it’s happened until the damage is done. This type of tactic is commonly used by cyber bullies to torment their victims 24/7. A way to stop cyber-bullying is to save everything that the bullies have sent you, and get a lawyer. You may think it’s going too far getting a lawyer to stop bullying,

but know this, even though you may have deleted all your social media accounts, bullying can still afflict emotional harm towards you even without your accounts. When you do want to share personal information for public viewing, just make sure the information is vague, for instance, instead of giving a full address of where you live just put the state name and nothing else. Also, when posting pictures of you, don’t put up a lot just put up a few and embed a digital watermark so they can’t be stolen off your page. Ask your friends when they post pictures of you in it that they tell you, so you can know about it. Also, they can ask you for your permission to post the picture with you in it. There are many other things that you can do to protect yourself from being a victim, but the best way is to be self aware of what is happening around your social media life and use common sense.

11Online Dating

Chapter Three: Dating

The way people date has drastically changed over the past decade from just going to bars to find a date and to now relying on searching over the internet to find a date. And this new type of bar scene can be good or bad depending on what dating service you choose from. There are so many options to choose from that it can be hard to decipher which one is the best choice for you or finding out which one is a legitimate dating site out of all the sites on the web. And the best type of dating sites to use is the match maker services ones that do the searching for you. Furthermore when picking a match maker sites look for the ones that are approved by the Better Business Bureau or does background checks on their members. But know this not every dating sites performs

background checks so be very cautious when using these sites. The unfortunately thing is that over the years online dating sites had become the new breeding grounds for scammers and predators to find their victims and1 out of 10 every dating profiles are counterfeit. And we like to think that we won’t fall for these scams and that we’re smart enough to recognize what is legit and what is phony. So to weed help out the phonies if a profile seams to good to be true it’s fake, asking you to communicate through email instead of using the site that red flag there, asking for money, saying they are working overseas, and the biggest tell of all is that never what to met face to face. All in all trust and listens to your instincts if you have bad feeling you may be right.

The Prefect Man

12 First Date

Going on the first date is an exciting and terrifying experience because it is the first step to start creating a relationship with someone who might be the ‘one’ and knowing that you may have only one chance to make a great impression with this person. And that is a lot of pressure for anyone to take. The first ingredient for getting ready for your fist date is to create a contingency plan for yourself because in today’s world you’ve to play it safe. And don’t take any chances even thou you think that you know your date pretty well enough and you won’t be in any danger while being with him. Tell your friends where your date is and what time you leave and plan to come back. Second never let your date pick you up at your home for the first date because if the date heads south you have a way to get home. And all so he doesn’t learn where you live if the date doesn’t work out he can’t stalks you at home. If you’re meeting someone from a online dating site have a friend tag

along with you on the date to make sure nothing bad happens to you. You just got to it play safe. The second ingredient for any date is picking out what to wear and the outfit that you chose can make or break your opportunity to get a second date. To begin with find out where your date has decide to go to for the date and coordinate the outfit around the place you’re going to. For instance if he decide to go to the beach boardwalk for dinner wear a pair of ballet flats and with cotton A-line dress so that you’ll be comfortable in the humid air. And if you’re going to a restaurant that is ‘nice causal’ venue but not a ‘fancy French ‘ bistro wear a dress that has nice elegant patterns on it and with pair of strappy sandals. Finally for if you’re taken to a ‘fancy French ‘ restaurant it’s time wear the impressive cocktail dress. And when picking out a cocktail dress for the first date keep it modest and no plunging necklines because there’re other ways to dress sexy without revealing your cleavage. Just remember have fun, be smart, be yourself, and stay safe.

13After First Date

Car head lights reflecting off the buildings walls has a car turns and pulls up into the driveway and the lights start going dim has the driver turns offs the car’s engine. A sound of high heels touching against the concrete has the woman driver exits the car and walks towards the front door. The keys are bouncing against the door as she turns the house key in the lock door. The hinges squeak slightly has she pushes open the door and goes in. The door close shut and is relock and the woman turns around and leans her back against the door and takes a sigh of relief because she just finish her first date with a new guy and the date went pretty well to her. Then it hits her will there be a second date who should call first, how long should she wait for the call and did he give any hints that he’ll want to go a second date? Then the woman says to herself “Now what”? If the scenario describe above sounds like what you did after your first date. These after date jitters are normal to have and wanting to know what happens next isn’t being impatience. And since now the after

date protocols have change and not everyone knows that things had change. The first rule that has change was the wait time when to receive or make a call for the second date. The old rule was to wait three days for a call back but now the new time is to wait 1.52 days. The wait time change is due to the new advances in technology and people reply back faster. And if he doesn’t call in 1.52 days you have to move on and don’t fret it’s his lost not yours. Second rule that has change is that instead of leaving verbal message the call back is giving by via text message. Because it’s easier for guys to use type words instead saying them they’re less nervous and are a little immediate by calling you in fear of making a verbal mistake. And another new rule don’t stalk your date on his social media pages to find out if he likes the date or not because you’ll make yourself paranoid. I hope these after first date tips help you know what to it expect and help you stay calm and in control.
