Houndstooth In

This Fall/Winter Houndstooth is one of the most popular patterns to be worn.  Designers have gotten really creative with the print by making it either bolder, smaller, spread out, or by changing the color.  If you have houndstooth in your wardrobe, bring it out for the season.

JC Penny is the New Spot

Let's face it, we are in a recession that has lasted long enough but while it's here I can say that JC Penny is a great place to shop for casual and business wear.  JC Penny has reinvented itself yet again by changing the logo and keeping the prices affordable.  Not only are the clothes affordable but they're also very fashionable; you can easily find a nice outfit from their wide selection of fashion items.  Think about it, when's the last time you went in a JCP to shop for a new shirt or outfit? I urge anyone looking to save a bunch of money and have many clothes to wear for weeks to stop by  one of the companies nearby stores.

NY Fashion District

I recently went on a trip to New York to hang out and do some shopping for the first time.  Based on word of mouth from people I've come across over the years who are from the area of New York, I expected there to be many fashionably dressed people but once I got there, I found that in fact it turned out to be the opposite.  Many of the residents there dressed quite basic and quite a bit had no great style in my opinion at all.  I did though see a select group of people that had on some cool wear and accessories.  The downtown area had many places to do a lot of shopping that was both high end and affordable.  The places I suggest anyone traveling to the area check out for clothing are H&M, Century 21, Soho, A/X, Topman, Macys, and Guess.  Also, any clothes posted on online sites for your favorite designers is very likely to be at the stores in NY.  From my time there I can say that New York is one of the best places to shop because they have many stores with tons of items and all of the departments charge no tax below $100.  I can guarantee it won't be easy bringing back stuff in your original suitcases; it's that GOOD.

Summer Colors Update

It's heating up this summer with high temperatures reaching the hundreds.  The popular colors to wear during the summer heat this year are yellow, mint green, & purple.  If you're thinking of going shopping now, remember to keep the popular seasonal colors this year in mind when purchasing a cute outfit for an added fashion sense.

JCPENNY going Rock Bottom??

Recently JCPenny is having significant financial issues ever since the company decided to sell their fashion products at a 40% discount year round.  Lay offs are now about to happen and this will most likely cause an increase in the already high unemployment rate the economy is experiencing.  Hopefully, JCPenny stakeholders can come up with an innovative idea that will have long term success to bounce back from the pitfall.

WorkWear Tips

When going to work at a place of business , it can be challenging to find the appropriate outfit to wear to work that is also stylish; here are some guidelines I suggest anyone should follow for a professional appeal:

Men

1. Choose ties that have a unique pattern or color, it'll really catch a person's eye especially when wearing a suit.
2. Wear classic polos and dress shirts that each have a different detail if you have more than 1 shirt that's the same color
3. Always wear dress socks that either go with the color of the pants you're wearing or dress shoes
4. Study designer websites for the latest trends for the season

Women

1. loose fitting clothing
2. wear pearls
3. Overall just make sure you're coverd up enough so that it doesn't look like you're about to go partying at a club
