Perfect Jeans

jeans1 It can be hard to find the perfect fit in jeans. You have to take into consideration jean color, stretch or no stretch, pockets or no pockets, leg width and length, and not too mention how will they look on YOU. I have an easy time finding jeans I like, but a hard time finding ones I like on ME. There are certain jeans I know I have to stay away from because they make me look like…what’s the word I am look for…oh yeah, a sausage Pig…all squished in and way too tight. They will feel fine on…maybe a little snug…but not at all the way they look. There are certain criteria we all should follow depending on body style, height, and age.

     If you are slimmer, you can pull off the low rise skinny jeans, straight or boot cut. Muscular/athletic body shapes look best in straight and boot cut. If you are pear shaped go for a low rise boot cut or flared jean for more visual balance. If you are more curvier (thicker) try a higher waste line or jeans with a built in hidden high waste, these will conceal the tummy and love handles. 

     Jeans look great on everyone, no matter what your age. They are great for casual and more “dressy” occassions. Jeans are so versatile, you should have atleast 2 favorite best fitting jeans in your closet. When shopping for your next pair of jeans, don’t take into consideration the expense, just get a pair of quality great fitting jeans that make you look and feel amazing. You won’t regret it!

Here’s a tip, if you are not in a hurry to get jeans, QVC makes a customized fit jean on your measurements…what a great idea!

The Joys of Shopping Online

Posted by kilohana under My Style, shoes

internet shopping There are many reasons people choose to shop online. One of the main reasons may be the availability of items you can not purchase in your local shopping area. By shopping online, you can purchase just about anything your mind can think up and all it takes is a few pecks on your keyboard. I choose online shopping because it is just plain fun, to me. The searching for bargains, finding coupons and discounts, and then the anticipation of getting something delivered to my door. It’s like bargain shopping without the foot work, who could ask for anything more!

Imagine never having to deal with rude or pushy salespeople. It used to sound like a dream, not anymore. With the development of online shopping and getting great deals from it, we may start to see an end to regular store shopping. Just think, you can actually go shopping in your pajamas and at home, which saves time and energy. No more dealing with trick mirrors and lighting. You try it on when you get it and in the comfort of your home. If you don’t like it, or it’s the wrong size just send it back. Many companies offer free or low shipping and sometimes they even send you a free return label with your purchase.

If you are unsure of what item to buy or what brand, you can simply read the reviews on the items. I hate when I am in a store and am totally confused about what to buy and what brand. Using the internet I can simply do a search of what I think I am looking for or get help selecting a brand, then I can make an informed decision of what I really want to buy. Just the thought of not standing in long lines, getting frustrated with the parking situation and being overwhelmed by too many people all trying to shop at the same place I am, is enough to keep me out of stores.

You can shop anytime you get ready when you shop online because the stores are never closed. They stay open 24 hours and they never close for holidays. Just think, a store open all the time so you don’t have to hurry or worry about finding a parking spot. By shopping online, you get more of a selection and more available sizes. Some sites are taking at home shopping even further and offering Easy-Pays. HSN and QVC, let you use your debit/credit card and pay in monthly installments after you receive the item (easy-pays), I can’t even put my joy into words! Another plus is that many sites will begin sending you coupons once you purchase from them to entice you to keep coming back. Remember that, when internet shopping, browse around and seek out coupons and discounts for the item and for low to no shipping charge. But beware, online shopping is very addictive, just ask my UPS man!
