Are you looking for something fresh to wear this spring?
While there's an array of new spring looks, there's also a sense
of the ordinary in many department store spring collections that
just doesn't appeal to everybody.
Maybe your closet is filled already with flower print dresses,
khaki pants and tank tops in every color. What you need is a
breath of fresh air. Here's three totally updated looks for you
to try out.
1) 80s Wrinkled Cool
1980s fashion style is back in a big way. Not everything 80s is
punk or zippered to the hilt. You can have a totally laid back
look by finding relaxed wrinkled pieces that are easy to care
for, as well as, easy going.
The Cotton Wrinkled Blouse - traditional cotton blouses aren't
supposed to be wrinkled, but this look allows you to wear a
comfortable blouse with built-in wrinkles. Just throw it on and
go.
The Relaxed Wrinkled Skirt - you can go with the long bohemian
skirt here, but there are also short skirt styles with more of a
tailored look that will work great.
The Relaxed 80s Motorcycle Style Jacket - look for a jacket with
an elastic or cinched waist and multiple zippers on the front.
Material will be light cotton or polyester blend. Comes in
vibrant colors.
Wrinkled Trench Coat - the same classic style in a very relaxed
cotton or twill fabric. You'll look great while remaining
casually comfortable.
Two Toned Silk Wrinkled Scarf - wrap this breezy accent scarf
around your neck or waist and add a little pizzazz to your
casual chic outfit. Two colors are better than one.
Chunky Platform Shoes with Ruffles - keep the carefree casual
look going from head to toe with the perfect pair of casual chic
shoes. Look for wooden platform shoes topped by ruffled canvas
or leather uppers.
Slouchy Handbag - finish this look off with a big old slouchy
leather or canvas bag.
2) 20s Jazz Age Casual
Recreate the clean, crisp look of the 1920s country club set.
Sleeveless Pintuck Pleated Dress - this is a nice basic that you
can wear to the office or a casual get together. If you can't
find a pintuck pleated style, then any comfortable, sleeveless,
free flowing style dress, in a solid color, will do the trick.
Length should be just below the knee. Colors: white, black, navy
or tan.
White Pleated Skirt - kind of old, yet so fresh and modern too.
This skirt should drape below the knee.
Beaded Sleeveless Top - Beaded ornamentation on women's clothing
was all the rage in the 1920s so this will look great with a
pleated skirt.
White Cable Knit Belted Cardigan - this cardigan style is the
perfect piece to top off your 20s look. Great looking in solid
white or with a dark colored trim.
High Heel Oxford Pump - the oxford never goes out of style. A
higher heel adds modern flair to an old favorite.
Marcasite Jewelry - Look for marcasite jewelry pieces to accent
this great 1920s look.
3) New Color Combination: Pale Yellow and Gray
Fresh and unexpected color combinations can brighten up old
neutral pieces - in this case the neutral is gray.
Look for the pale yellow and gray combination in: dresses, tops,
shoes and purses. Buy some yellow pieces and do your own
experimenting - it's fun.

A Sleepyhead's Guide To Choosing Pajamas
Author: Mario R. Churchill
Article:
Some of our top favorite wear-to-bed clothing that has never
waned in favor is a good pair of pajamas. Pajamas have been
around for centuries and have remained the top sleepwear in many
parts of the world. Their appeal is so big that they have gone
beyond the limits of the bedroom and appeared as the top
favorite lounging wear of many stay at home moms, dads and home
business owners. Is it any wonder that they remain one of the
top choices when buying sleepwear?
The best parts Pajamas come in sets, so you can buy a top and a
matching bottom. However, there are also retailers that offer
only either the top or the bottom as singles. That should give
you a lot of choices on what to wear and which ones to mix and
match. There's a wide variety of styles to choose from, ranging
from the conventional to the sexy to the ultra-hip.
Fabric Pajamas are made from many different materials, although
the most popular ones are those made from cotton, flannel,
fleece, satin and silk. You can also find materials that are a
combination of both natural and synthetic fibers. Choose the
type of fabric that will be comfortable enough to keep you warm
and give you a good night's sleep.
Gender When it comes to pajamas, women have the upper hand
because they can wear any style, regardless of whether it's
designed for females or for males. When it comes to buying
pajamas, be careful about picking the right size. Pajamas should
fit loosely to give the wear enough room to move and twist
anyway they like, so make sure about picking a size that is
either just right or a little loose.
Color White is still in and many people still prefer the neat
and pure look that white pajamas have, but there are so many
choices in color that you just can't be stuck with just one or a
few earth tones. Pajamas now come in every conceivable color
from the smoothest and tamest pastels to the regular solid block
colors to muted tones to the more outlandish bright hues.
If you think your dream time can use a little adventure, go for
the brightly colored ones, especially those with the wackiest
designs. An advantage of pajamas is that they let you go crazy
without breaking a fashion statement. Sure, there are a few that
you might later on prefer to keep hidden in your closet until
they disintegrate, but when there are so many possibilities on
what to wear to bed, who's stopping you from making your choice?
Buying pajamas for infants and toddlers We trust pajamas to keep
our babies warm in the night, especially those who have a
tendency to kick off their blankets in their sleep. If your
child is the type who often keeps his blankets all bunched up at
the foot of the bed by morning, pajamas are a great choice for
comfort, warmth and yes, style.
Cotton remains a top favorite fabric for pajamas because it's
light and breathable. Many of the more recently manufactured
pajamas are also super soft and cozy, capable of providing
enough insulation to keep you warm and are porous enough to keep
you cool. That makes them perfect even for summer nights.
If you prefer to keep your baby toasty warm, get fleece or
flannel pajamas. Not only are they cuddly soft, they are also
quite durable, able to withstand hundreds of washings. As for
brands, there are literally hundreds to choose from, such as old
favorites like Land's End, Old Navy, Gap and several others.
