Tips for Chiks

LADIES!
I am glad you stopped by my blog! I have meant to write numerous times and then I do not publish what I write because sometimes I find my writings to be a little bit too “bare.” = ]
Today I just wanted to write a few little Tips For Chiks!
Here you have them in no special order whatsoever: 

Tips for Chiks!
-          The Smell Goods - Spray your perfume on places with hair. The perfume sticks to the hair follicles longer and you will notice you smell like your choice of spritz longer than you normally do. If you shave your arms like many do, you can always just apply lotion to your arms and then spray it onto the wet lotion. It will help absorb and stay on the skin longer as well!

-          Tights/Leggings – let’s face it….they are see through! I felt bad walking behind two girls on campus earlier this week and saw their matching pink panties as they walked to class side by side. If you are in doubt, have a girlfriend check you before you hit outdoors. Not only have them check indoors, but  go into sunlight and bend over just to make sure. No body wants to see a little crack or your panties – SORRY! = ]
MAINTAIN THE MYSTERY!
     
Rated PG 13 and trashy.

-         Trendy Hair - If you wear the classy sock bun, do it classy. No need to trash it up. It is a sophisticated look that should be worn properly. 

-          White pants/accessories – yes, now a days many people break the rule of “No white after Labor Day” thing. . .I get it. However, the rule still stands. No white pants, shoes or white purses are fashion forward during the fall weather.  Social Primer has a blog all about it: http://www.socialprimer.com/2011/08/no-white-after-labor-day/

-          Colors – colors are in this fall. So bright colors are still okay for the fall just not white pants/shoes. You can keep wearing your lovely little colored denim, non-see-through leggings and bright shoes! The spring trend is here to stay for the fall.

-          Black – black is always classy, unless your blacks do not match. If you have a faded black shirt and new black slacks, when you pair them together.  .  . guess what?! It is obvious! Do not try to make different shades of black work – it won’t! Simple solution: wear black with a nice pair of denim and your black slacks with a dark classic grey, or any other color of the rainbow for that matter! Just not another shade of black – not okay.

-          Black & Brown are officially colors you CAN mix! I get it, some of you still hate it. I have hated it forever, but once I purchased my new boots that have brown and black mixed. . . I think I am going to start the black and brown trend. It is classy and I believe it will stay a classic look. So when you see people on campus with black shoes and a brown belt – do not shun them, they just have not mastered the correct use of the black and brown fashion-forward look.

Black and Brown = Chic
Adorable Fall look that I am sure you already have in your closet!
It is finally legal to pair them all together. I will finally
have to try mixing my dark colors finally!




























-          Dresses and tennis shoes – never meant to go together. The other day on campus I saw a pink polo dress sported with big ole clunky orange shocks with black socks. GIRLFRIEND. . . do you own a mirror? It is not about picking someone apart – it is a matter of wanting to fix her in order to make her more confident. It is amazing what the right pair of shoes could have done to totally change her look from drab to fab.

-          Toms VS Vans – I love the adorable new grey and purple low vans. However, I am a TOMS fan all the way. Due to the one for one movement. You buy a shoe and another pair gets given to a child who needs a pair of shoes. If you do not know what I am talking about. . . check it out! http://www.toms.com/our-movement/

I own these two and I love them!

Destination - Christmas present from a friend!

Classic Grey










-          BRA STRAPS – one of my biggest pet peeves. When I see a girl who’s is trying to be fashionable yet her bra straps along with tank top straps are hanging all over the place – not the thing to do. There is a cheap and quick fix: Bra stays. You can find them at Walmart, Walgreens, Target – basically anywhere you can find things from info-commercials. 

They make you look classy and hide the mess! INVEST!  

You can purchase in clear, white, black, grey - I am sure there are more colors.
Those are just the colors I own in my bra drawer!


-          White socks with black pants – Really? Three pairs of socks at Walmart are less than $5. If you are dressed for an interview and you cross your legs…your socks show! Either wear stockings or black socks if you are wearing black pants. Keep it classy ladies!

-          Short shorts – I know that these high-waisted shorts are in-style right now. I am not a fan, however they are adorable on the right people and when they are worn appropriately. Nothing is worse than seeing a girl decked out adorably then have her turn around and the bottom of her booty cheeks are hanging out. YUCK! 
MAINTAIN THE MYSTERY!
Wear them the correct way - and it is classy & sassy!

-          Hair covering eyeballs – isn’t it annoying when you are talking to someone and all they are doing is tossing their head to the side to get their bangs out of their eyeballs? Some girls even purposely place long strands of hair in their face. Some people say it’s a low confidence issue. I say, get your hair out of your face!!! Let people see your beautiful eyes and face structure! Do not hide behind your hair!! = ] You are the only you – so let your face be seen!


I hope you enjoyed your read!  Maybe you got a laugh out of it, loved some pointers/new ideas or completely disagreed with some of the points I made in my Tips for Chiks. . . what ever the case may be - leave comments below! 

Make it a great one!

  1. So many great ideas!! Love them all.
    My general rule for tights/leggings are "Make sure your butt and front are covered" and you will never have any showing butt problems.
    I am also LOVING the black and brown mix! Pulled off correctly and it looks so chic.

    Thanks for the post!
