Thursday, May 12th, 2011

365dg older woman choosing clothes in closet for web “Um, is THAT really what you’re wearing to school today?”

My mom got me to think critically about my tops and bottoms. With questions like the one above I came to understand how my outfits needed to work. One of the best educations I’ve received from her involved looking my best when I went out into the world. Thanks to her timely advice I stopped dressing like a spaz so I can be taken seriously.

Fashion Friday: Online shopping at Lady Umbrella

This my lovelies is the t-shirt appropriately titled “Lady Umbrella is away with the birds” which I thought was a perfectly “tweetable” fashion piece to purchase online at www.ladyumbrella.com. It was a snap to buy and a breeze to wear. For those of you who would also like to make fashionable online purchases here’s a few tips:

Fashion Tip 1: T-shirts are a low-risk, easy way to start purchasing clothes online. T-shirts are effortless to wear and usually found at an affordable price. Just make sure to get a color that compliments your skin tone & features. *I’m a brunette with pale skin so this bold true blue looks wonderful on me. Blondes would look stunning in the peachy pink “Lady Umbrella likes to strut” while dark and olive skinned girls would rock the cheeky yellow “What came first the chicken or the umbrella?”.

Fashion Tip 2: Check out the unique accessory options either from the same store or from another online store to add to the look. Scarves, bangles, & earrings can all be easily paired with your t-shirt and won’t cost a lot either. If you are really bold look at some hats or shoes! Or if you are really on a budget just look in your own closet for some fun accessories that can freshen up your look. *I choose pink instead of blue to add some punch as you’ll see below!

Fashion Tip 3: If available before you check out and put down payment information look at any reviews that are listed by other shoppers who have purchased the garment. You might save yourself some heartache or a wrong size choice. At Lady Umbrella though you can trust you’ll get a great garment since Rob & Elena have given all their shirts rigorous testing.

So are you ready to make your own awesome purchases online! Let me hear about it by commenting below. Also feel free to share your own tips for shopping online & off. And stay tuned for more fashion awesomeness next week ;)
