Transforming Women from the Outside In

In this issue: Olympic Fashion Spring Dresses Everything Old is New Again

Olympic Fashion

I have noticed quite a number of news articles and mentions of various fashion statements the winter Olympians have been making these past two weeks in Vancouver. Did you know the U.S. Snowboarding team wore waterproof Gore-Tex pants made to look like worn jeans with holes in them? Several athletes personalized their team uniforms with tiaras (U.S. skier Julia Mancuso) and painted helmets (Canadian skeleton participant Jeff Pain). Team mittens and hats are hot items.

Even in the Olympic Games, fashion and clothing get noticed. Is your clothing getting noticed for the right reasons? Here is a great athletic-inspired, but flattering and stylish outfit. These Champion Yoga Pants look put-together enough for athletic activities or casual errands, when worn with a fitted athletic jacket.

Dresses for Spring

After months of covering up and keeping warm, spring brings more opportunities to wear dresses, as well as occasions to dress up a little more. This Macy's black and white dress is a classic style that flatters almost any woman.

Trends - Everything Old is New Again

In the last month, I have seen fashions from three past decades that are supposedly coming back in style: Desert boots and calico floral prints from the seventies, tapered, pleated pants from the eighties, and leggings from the nineties. Of course, they have some updated features, so something you kept from those days probably won't work (although the desert boots I've seen look exactly like the ones I had in eighth grade!) Remember, you don't have to wear every trend that comes around. I'm certainly not planning on re-living eighth grade by wearing desert boots.

Don't forget the finishing touch on your outfit--jewelry! It can really enhance and stretch your wardrobe. On Friday, March 5, I will be hosting a Cookie Lee Jewelry Show to benefit my local high school's drama program. Go to www.cookielee.biz/jackiedales to look at an online catalog.
