There are countless fashion pieces that you can mix and match in order to create professional looks for work. It is all about knowing the right fashion piece to wear as base, and the rest would be easy.

A shirt dress – or shirtdress – can be perfect for work indeed. The button front and collar are universally flattering. All you need to add is a nice belt that suits you perfectly depending on the shape of your body. Make sure you also choose the right color and pattern to achieve the flattering look you want.

If you want to look rather sophisticated for work, a wrap dress would be a rather interesting pick for you. This classic fashion piece can really flatter you no matter what body shape you have. Pair the gorgeous wrap dress with a nice pair of shoes and you will be ready for work in an instant.

My personal favorite is certainly a nice sheath dress. This dress is also very universal and can look good on almost any career woman. You can add a nice blazer for a professional look or simply wear a coat or jacket on the outside to look rather sophisticated.

No matter which fashion piece you choose as base for your look, you need to keep in mind that the look is for going to work. Avoid adding too many fashion accessories and always make sure the fashion piece you wear is comfortable enough for the entire day.

Fashion Term: Shirt Dress http://www.theinspiredwoman.net/fashion-term-shirt-dress/ http://www.theinspiredwoman.net/fashion-term-shirt-dress/#comments Thu, 19 Aug 2010 11:06:09 +0000 admin http://www.theinspiredwoman.net/?p=9 One of the keys to understanding the world of fashion is being able to understand the lingo used frequently. Shirt dress is one of the fashion terms commonly used to describe a certain type of fashion pieces. What is a shirt dress actually and how can you wear it and look gorgeous? That is what we are going to discuss in this article.

A shirt dress is basically a dress with a lot of shirt’s features on it, mainly men’s shirt features such as sharp collars and a button front. You can actually find a lot of shirt dresses at top retailers and online stores, because this type of fashion piece is very popular.

In order to wear a shirt dress perfectly, you need to first understand your body shape. A shirt dress usually enhance no parts when worn solely, buy that is what makes this dress perfect. You can wear it with a nice big belt wrapped around your waistline, and leave the top and bottom two front buttons open to create a nice silhouette. Add a nice tank inside for a more subtle look. You can also add a pair of leggings if you don’t want to look that sexy.

When picking the right shirt dress to wear, make sure you pay close attention to three things: length, color, and accents. Length is important; you don’t want your shirt dress to be lower than your knee because then it will create a rather unflattering effect. Accents and color are also important; simply pick the right color and simpler accents to make the shirt dress suits you perfectly.

How to Wear Patterned Tights http://www.theinspiredwoman.net/how-to-wear-patterned-tights/ http://www.theinspiredwoman.net/how-to-wear-patterned-tights/#comments Fri, 30 Jul 2010 11:04:00 +0000 admin http://www.theinspiredwoman.net/?p=7 When worn properly, patterned tights can actually enhance your look and create that nice, rather balanced, accent right away. However, you need to be extra careful and pay close attention to details when wearing patterned tights if you want to make them work. Here are a few tips you can use to make patterned tights work for you.

Choosing the right pattern is essentially important, and it can be the perfect place to start when you want to wear patterned tights. Make sure you go for smaller uniformed patterns to achieve the gorgeous look while still stay on the subtle side. Wearing larger patterns can be too risky, since it will create rather unflattering effects when paired with the wrong fashion pieces.

Never pair pattered tights with complicated dresses or too many fashion accessories. You should keep everything simple in order to achieve that balanced sense that will make you look stunning. Stick to simple dresses – mini dresses are preferred, especially when they are black and simple – or tunics and you will have patterned tights work to your advantage for sure.

You don’t have to worry about selecting the right pair of shoes, because most pairs work with patterned tights as long as they have heels. Even your favorite open-toed high heels will work just fine with patterned tights. Do pay close attention to the color of your shoes though; stick to the same color as your dress if you want to play safe. You will certainly look gorgeous wearing patterned tights.
