Remember that off the shoulder ruffled bridesmaid dress you wore in the 90’s?  The one you swore you’d never wear ago unless it was too a bridesmaid dress party?  Well,  that look is back ….kind of like those bell bottom jeans

 

So here a a couple reasons I like this look:

 

-It’s sexy, in a shoulder bearing way…especially is you don’t feel comfortable showing your cleavage.  My thoughts on cleavage?  If you’d got it, show it, but only appropriately in a classy “non-cougar” way.

 

-It’s flattering to your shape as it gives the illusion of broad shoulders even it you don’t have them.  Broad shoulders are slimming as it makes the rest of your body appear narrower.

 

-It’s can be forgiving.  Most of the off the shoulder tops and dresses are looser and flowing in fit….So If you are having a “fat day”   give yourself a pass to wear this sexy but comfortable look!

 

As I look for dresses on my big day,  I’m certainly keeping this look as an option!

 

Don’t ask me why,  but I used to hate the color green….perhaps it was all the green paint I used in my artist days painting golf courses (yeah,  that’s another story).  I obsessed about the various shades in trying to portray the perfect fairway or tree.

 

But no more!  With St. Patty’s tomorrow and Spring in full bloom….yes the tree’s are finally blooming….I’ve come to love Green.

 

It first hit me when I became obsessed with the emerald as a beautiful jewel stone….hence my engagement ring from my fiancee Tom.  Then, check out April’s cover of InStyle Magazine: Lupita Nyongo totally rocks in deep green cold shoulder knit dress!

 

Keep the green coming, because the grass and trees have just begun!
