Fashion has to fit

     To me the most important thing to fashion is fit and proportion. Wearing clothes that are too tight or too baggy just make you look heavier than you really are. Don't be afraid of size, if you look fabulous it doesn't matter  what the number on the tag of your jeans is.
      If you have pants that are too tight, you may be a victim of the "muffin top," which is when the top of your pants pushing up your love handles. I see women of various sizes doing this. The solution is simple, GO UP A SIZE. It is not the end of the world, and in fact you will look so much better. The most universally flattering pant is narrow at the thigh and flares out at the knee.
      Skirts, I have noticed, have also become a problem proportion wise. I have seen a lot of people wearing really tight and short skirts and this is a proportional nightmare. Those skirts cut up your leg line making them look thicker and shorter. It does that because the skirt ends at the thickest part of your leg. The best way to go with skirts is either a floaty A-line that falls right above the knee or a slim pencil skirt that falls right below the knee.
       Remember that tailoring is a quick and easy fix to fit problems. For example if your pants are too long, get them hemmed. Personally I have a problem with skirts, because I have a small waist, but a large bum. I always have huge gaps at the waist of my skirt. I always make sure the skirt fits the bum, then I get it taken in at the waist.
        I love winter fashion, sweaters, tights, layering, and suede booties are my favorite things to do. I have found that this winter I love paring a chunky sweater with a pencil skirt, tights, and wedges. For example:                             

     That's my perfect winter outfit! And it wasn't expensive at all! The shoes are Steve Madden. $24.99 at TJMaxx. Tights, $9.99 (3 pack) at TJMaxx. Sweater, was a bit of a splurge at $35.99 at Old Navy, and the Skirt was $13.99 at Target.
