Proper Underwear for your Summer Clothing

I was inspired to write this blog post as I have seen SO MANY girls and women wearing the wrong type of underwear with this outfits for this summer. It seems like all the rules go out the door as soon as it gets hot. But no! Not for me at least! Keep in mind these are just my opinions of how I think girls/women should be wearing their underwear with certain outfits.

Note: All pictures are from Forever21 and Victoria's Secret. It's just easier to refer to.

White Fabric/Light Coloured Fabric

You must wear a nude coloured bra for any white piece of clothing. If you wear a white bra, it will accentuate what you are trying to hide in the first place (your bra). For light coloured fabrics, it is best to wear a nude bra or a bra that is of very similar colour to that fabric.

Loose Flowing Sheer Tops

I personally would wear a camisole or tank top underneath these kind of tops. Some girls like to wear just a bra underneath these tops. To each their own though. If you are planning to wear just a bra underneath, I suggest wearing a bralette as they are must prettier to look at than a normal bra. There are different lengths of bralettes. I personally would go for the longer kind.

Muscle Tees/Open Side Tops

I would definitely wear a fun coloured bralette for these. You can wear a bra but I feel like you can have more fun with a bralette underneath peeking through the sides. There is more lace so it's more fun and girly as compared to wear a normal bra with it. Unless it was an all lace bra then go nuts!

Spaghetti Strap Tank Tops

 

I would wear a bra that would be of the exact colour of the tank top or I would wear a strapless bra. You can also wear a nude bra with this top if you choose. I would try to make sure the bra has very minimal lace as it will show through the tank top if it is form fitting. Bras without lace will be the best option.

Racerback Tank Tops

I would opt for a racerback bra or a strapless bra.

Backless/Low Back Tops/Dresses

These types of tops/dresses needs special attention when it comes to bras. You can attach a bra extender to your current bra to allow you bra to have a low back. You can also choose to wear the stick-on bras to allow you to wear backless pieces of clothing.

Strapless Bras

If you have trouble wearing a strapless bra, try wearing a bustier. It will make you feel more secure especially if your breasts are on the small side.

White Bottoms

 

Any time you are wearing white bottoms such as shorts, skirts, bottoms and also dresses. Please wear a nude pair of panties. If you wear white, we can see everything! Especially if the material is sheer or slightly see-through in the light. You can wear either a hip hugger or a thong type of panty. It all depends on the cut of the bottoms and how tight the piece of clothing fits on you. The tighter the fabric, the smaller the panty.


That is all I have to say about underwear and how to wear it. If you have any additional questions, please let me know in the comments below. I will be happy to answer.

Also! Please DO NOT show visible bra straps unless it is the same colour as the top AND please DO NOT show any visible panty lines. We all know that it's not sexy or cute at all.

Oscars 2013 Best Dressed and Worst Dressed

I am a huge awards show person! Mostly for the fashion but I do enjoy watching the awards show itself. This year I have only watched two of the nine films that were nominated for Best Picture. I watched Les Miserables and Silver Linings Playbook. During Les Miserables, I was crying for a good majority of the movie. That scene where Anne Hathaway was singing "I Dreamed a Dream", I couldn't even look at the movie screen or I would ball my eyes out uncontrollably. I was staring at the theatre wall and I was still tearing up. Silver Lining Playbook was Oscar worthy but they ending was not. It was had a very predictable ending. I was expecting Bradley Cooper to take off his shift sometime during the film but it never happened!

So now onto the fashion!!

Best Dressed

Stacey Keibler dress is amazing!
I love the metallic detailing!

Amanda Seyfried. I love her. That is all!

Jennifer Lawrence was amazing
the entire show! Her dress is a little
too stiff for my taste but I still love it!

Reese Witherspoon! I love everything
 about her outfit, especially her
 hair! It makes me wish I had blonde hair!

Worst Dressed

I love Halle Berry
but this dress made her look like a statue.

Anne Hathaway is mainly in the 

worst dressed category because of 

the high neckline and the fact

 that you can see through her

 dress. I thought the darting was 

just making her nipples pointy

 but it was in fact her nipples

 showing through. The back of the

 dress was amazing  though!

Helen Hunt wore a dress
designed by H&M.
I like how she is trying to be thrifty
but the material is all wrong!

My New Winter Coat

This past week I have decided to finally purchase a new winter jacket. My old winter jackets have either been not warm enough, too short, damaged, etc. My dream winter jacket would be a black knee length down jacket with gold detailing, a belt with a gold buckle and a faux fur trim hood. I have seen some girls wearing it but I don't know where they got it. I should ask! So I did settle for this jacket. I first saw this jacket on my friend in college. She worked at Jacob and that is how I first discovered the jacket. I love that the neck area is puffy so you don't need to wear a scarf with the coat. You can also leave it untied so you will just have puffy lapels on your coat. I like the length of the coat. It just hits me at the knee so it's not too long. It is also filled with down feathers so it is warm! I love that the sleeves are cuffed at the end so no cold air can go up your arm. Now that winter is hitting Toronto really hard, I need to keep warm. These past few days the weather has been really cold! It was -18 degrees celcius with a wind chill feeling like -25. Now that is intense! How are you keeping warm in these cold months? Let me know in a comment! If you are interested in purchasing this jacket, click on the jacket!
