When Life gets you down
Due to recent events we're going to go grim
i'm going to help you dress for a formal occasion such as a funeral
now there are plenty of places that you can rent a suit from
but! Purchasing your suit will ensure that you are ready for all occasions.
The best way to do this is to start where your comfortable. In your own home
you want to make sure that for this specific occasion your not getting white (of course).
Subtle tones on men look much better than they think being really flashy in a suit
is just annoying! Please don't do it you are not "pimp-sleezy" So please don't pretend to
be a ladies man because those are not the ladies that you really want to attract.
So, you want to do the simples
Brown
Black
Blue
this is pretty new territory for me so i'll be giving you the basics and learning from life events that will soon occur
white suits are for weddings lets just leave it there.
for a funeral most people want to wear black always black and i disagree with this because not everyone looks as good in black as the "fashion rules" tell them they do, they say black is slimming this is also a myth in my opinion. So you want to pair greys and black. a nice light grey blazer with a pair of black slacks maybe throw some colour in your tie and your good to go.
More on this as the story develops. (heehee)

Accessories Accessories Accessories
Lets talk about accessories and how important they are to your look!
A lot of women (and men for that matter) look at accessories as something just to make the outfit you wear more expensive and of course there are common overdone accessorizing which entirely to many people do and it makes your outfit look awful! So, there are great ways to accessorize around your outfit. i'm going to cover a simple outfit today and if requested i will go into detail later :) so we'll go with a very plain outfit, lets say a plain shirt and some cute skinny leg jeans. I love crazy colors so lets say that the top is blue and your jeans are a medium wash denim. with the medium wash denim you have a lot of options!! you can do just about any color belt i personally would go with a black belt so, with the black belt you don't want a brown handbag/shoes and the same goes vice versa. I like to be funky so i'd go with a neon pink purse however a subtle cream will be beautiful with your outfit black pumps makes for an easy win as far as accessories go, now remember we're working with skinny leg jeans here, black pumps go with everything so it's kind of like a safety shoe (similiar to the little black dress which also goes with the pumps *hehe*) alright so were going to move up. The days of matching your makeup to your clothing color is over for the modern business woman so, keep it subtle ladies! Now we're going to assume that the shirt is a very low neck U showing a lot of clevage. you may not think it's important but if your anything like me i kind of lack in the chest area so a nice push up really fills out the neckline add a necklace that sits around your collar bones, you can make this necklace as flashy as you want as long as it's short. If you do decide to do a necklace with a lot of danglies you want to steer clear of dangly earrings that is over accessorizing and it makes your outfit go from "hot" to "not" very quickly. Don't forget your shades! While sunglasses are just one more way to accessorize they are also something you should wear everyday no matter where you go! Protect the beautiful eyes you have no matter whether your going out, going shopping, or just going running. With this outfit i'd suggest a cream frame however (as always) black goes with everything :). One last thing! if you live in a chilly area this outfit is more based around warm climates however a cute short black coat suits this outfit great!
MEN: you can pretty much follow this exact thing except you don't want the necklace and earrings it'll be an either or (depending on which you choose to wear) i know most men don't wear earrings or necklaces but there are some that do. So just don't do both a simple stud will work just fine if you feel like you MUST please also be smart and wear an undershirt, whether you think your chest hairs are sexy or not is your perogitive but we're talking about dressing smart :) throw a watch on and your good to go.
