Fun & Flirty Tops For All Occasions
A great solution for creating a many looks within a simple wardrobe
is the addition of a few well-chosen flirty tops. Think fun. Add
a well-crafted V-neck sleeveless top in bright orange to a 5-pocket
white jean with strappy sandals for a casual date night. A baby-doll
silhouette with conservative solid black slacks can add a flirtatous
shape, and cover some stomach gains. The empire waist visually
extends your height, and the V shape of the neckline adds to the
illusion of a longer neck. Just make certain the top length extends
below your natural waist line, ideally resting just above your
hip bones.
The Magic Jacket for Cooler Evenings
One terrific solution: pair the tops with a sleek jacket.
This creates a slimming silhouette, and the pop of color can help
you create a look that flatters any figure and looks up to date
and modern as well.
How does it work? Find a flirty little top that you love and
check the length. It should be at least four inches below your
belly button and end about about an inch above your jacket's hemline.
The side benefit of wearing youthful tops with a sleek jacket
- hiding those trouble spots that would have otherwise been out
there for the world to see.
- Work: Black Jacket with a splash of color and high
quality fabric.
- Evening: Replace your jacket with a fabulous wrap.
- Everyday: Pair your denim with a fabulous top and strappy
sandals.

New fitness plan: a tailor
As we get older and our bodies begin to change, the fit of our clothes matters more. Most off the rack styles are made with a pre-set proportion in sizing, which may or may not match your body.
Our suggestion: make friends with a skilled tailor. Baggy items or clothing that clings too tightly never looks quite appropriate and can be fixed.
- Invest in a high quality basic wardrobe. The pieces may cost more, but they will last longer and provide a wonderful basic canvas for updating. Think little black dress, straight leg jeans and a classic trench coat.
- Invest in good undergarments: the foundation affects the fit.
