THAT SUPER BOWL PARTY

be brown on brown and the black must be black on black—absolutely, no white or off-color stripes down the side of your tuxedo trousers.

I’d choose sexy skinny cigarette leg jeans jazzed with decorative Rhinestones artistically scattered and placed to accent the jeans perfectly. Next is the shirt, Cami, sweater, leotard or bustier of your choice. There’s such a range to choose from and if you really feel like being risqué you can always wear a beautiful bra only underneath. Just make it classy and keep that single button closed. If select a pair of slacks think about adding a chain belt.

The message is that you must own your look and the feedback you expect to get. So don’t half-step. I mean, don’t wear the bra only and then try to hide the fact that you only have a bra under your blazer. You’d be better off if you chose a leotard or cami, which can be equally sexy if that’s what you’re going for. If you want to bring the shock value . . . I’m just saying, then be ready. As my girls say, “Handlit.” People always talk about ‘style’ or ‘swag.’ You know, something when you see it but can’t quite explain it after you have said everything else, like ‘that’s pretty,’ ‘or she looks good’; ‘she looks confident,’ ‘she looks sassy,’ or ‘now, she’s a head turner.’ Just own it and that means, start with your hair. It should be your crown topping off your look. When shopping, select clothing apparel that looks nicer on you than it did on the rack; choose colors that compliment your complexion and hair color; select dress and skirt lengths that compliment your height, weight, and body shape; choose clothing that accents your best features (eyes, breasts, waist, or legs, etc.). Listen, I don’t care how good you look, if your feet hurt because of the stilettos you chose to wear no matter how fabulous they are, no one will see them if you are forced to take them off. And they certainly aren’t worth ruining your beach-ready toes.

Now go get dressed.

You received that invite you’ve been waiting on and you’re ready to strut your fabulous look at that Superbowl party to show off those wonderful sale buys from your winter holiday shopping sprees. The perfect look to feel relaxed, comfortable yet functional, classy yet fun, jazzy, and cool, cause you want to bring your sexy with swag in this beautifully crafted velvety leopard micro corduroy lined blazer, with micro fringe trim detail on the lapels and a single front button closure. If you’re like me, and pockets thrill you not because you want to fill them up with keys or change, but that fabulous tube of red lipstick fits perfectly in the pocket and so, so accessible for the touchups you’ll need throughout the night to keep it looking good. The silhouette looks great with its 29” from the highest ‘on-shoulder’ to the bottom hem point that frames your body like the inner model you are. Gurrrrl, it looks good on you.

Now you’ve got to choose the right pair of slacks, jeans or a skirt, even the right leggings can work. Seriously you can dress up or down on this. I’m thinking that you want to be comfortable so that you always give off that relaxed look, yet you want to be polished and refined, or do you? Are you going for that casual classic look that Ralph Lauren or Calvin Klein gives you? Maybe you just want that girl next door vibe, that fresh face youthful ‘no fuss’ look. Or finally, perhaps you want to look like the boss lady you are, comfortable with yourself, and just do you! No-fuss tuxedo trousers can take this blazer to the next level. Chocolate or black, either color works. But the chocolate must
