I'm all about comfort and value, as I have mentioned many times. I am also about starting with basics. This is a new year, so let's start it off with a fresh new you, a clean slate, a new beginning...
FASHION IN LAYERS
No matter what season it is, the smartest fashion statement is LAYERS. You can always add or subtract from it depending on the situation: no matter if it is lunch, dinner, air conditioning, standing in the blistering sun, concert, or a kids' birthday party. Pick colors that can mix and match, your outfits will not look the same twice! Here are some great essentials and ideas for your closet for this year. And you WON'T have to spend a fortune!
Tank tops are brilliant! They can be layered or worn alone. They can elongate your waistline, and accentuate your figure. Dress it up with a long chain or a choker, wear a jacket over it if it is cold, and peel the jacket off when someone turns up the heat! Layer two tanks together, or a bathing suit top, or a t-shirt! I love tank tops, they are inexpensive and come in every color imaginable. They are both youthful and ageless...hmmm, wonder if I have made my point? hehehe

BLACK ISN'T BACK...IT NEVER LEFT
You can't go wrong with black. I am all about black and brown as the staple color in my closet. Black and brown go with practically any color, you really can't go wrong. The REASON I implement black in almost every outfit is: 1. It's dramatic (of course) 2. It's slimming and 3: It makes any other color you wear stand out. My favorite thing is to wear black pants, a strappy black top and a bright red lace shirt over the whole thing. The red totally pops and I look like a rock diva. Try it also with turquoise, olive green, pink, purple, silver or gold. It's brilliant! Do NOT however, wear all black...then you will be in danger of appearing morose, depressed, or hiding something.
LOOK NATURAL
I don't know about you, but loads of make-up and tons of jewelry looks totally ridiculous to me. Ya, I know it looks great in a magazine or a commercial...but think about real life. Why would you wanna look like that in the grocery store, or just walking down the street? I get that some professions might require a bit more glam, but in my book low maintenance is the best look all around. This is why I like mark. products. The make-up is light and not over-stated, the colors are natural and yet evens my skin tone. I rarely wear eye-liner, unless I am doing a show or going out for a night on the town. Explore your natural beauty, try mark. products, besides being a great product it is also really affordable. Here's a link to my store: http://lisalong.mymarkstore.com/
Thanks for allowing me to offer my two cents. The way I see it, you don't need a fashion magazine to tell you how to be beautiful. There is so much you can do with simple touches.
