Outfitting a Memorable Memorial Day: Swimsuits for All Figures

As we pause to honor historical valour, we bravely step forward into the un-calendared start of summer. And what uniform could be more appropriate for this virginal seasonal tread than white. Parade this shade from optic to oatmeal and celebrate the surrender of winter’s sullying sludge.

Boundaries and distraction-start with a strong center panel or high waisted bottom.  Add some type of embellishment be it a pattern, blousing, ruffles, or ruching.  Finish the set with a wedge sandal which adds height without looking overwhelmed by your center.

A one shoulder angle draws attention above while a sandal sans leg truncating ankle strap offers the legs maximum longitude.  For lower figure’s embellishments always belong on top.  For the bottom there are two leg options: A high cut legline will stretch a swimmer’s skirt will shield.

Tie a bow, draw an outline, block it in color, but ensure that the waist of an hourglass is featured.  Some supporting shirring or wrapping goes a long way in making sure your starring primary curves are not outshone by secondary or tertiary undulations.

First and always, check for underwire and adequate support for the lady eggs.  Second, gain balance by broadening your hips against your bust and shoulders.  Use the visual optics of narrowing lines, lower leglines, and hip centered details to build out your narrower bottom half.

Whitney Port declares her own beauty tips:

Sponsored by


The most essential white accessory to include in  this holiday weekend is your smile.  Get it from the #1 most awarded whitening brand by beauty editors, Crest 3D White Intensive Professional Effects Whitestrips ($59.99).  Turnaround visible results in just one use, as stains are removed from below the enamel surface.  Wear strips for two hours, daily, for one week to enjoy the full transformation that would cost $500 in professional office treatments.

Begin and end your day with Crest 3D White Glamorous White Toothpaste and enjoy strengthened enamel and stain removal.  This glamour paste foams its proprietary micro-cleansing whiteners into every oral nook and cranny, which means your smile will be shinier top, bottom, and between.

Personal Trend: Literature

 
“Dandelion wine. The words were summer on the tongue. The wine was summer caught and stoppered.” Ray Bradbury
Your fashion choices can act like a clandestine symbol for the things and people you love.  Take my all time favorite poetic prose novel, below I’ve assembled two outfits inspired by Ray Bradbury’s classic.

The dandelion print of the skirt echoes the themes of treasuring the common and bottling away happy moments. 
The protaganist, Douglas Spaulding is remembered with a schoolboy fit dandelion yellow gingham.
White sneakers reminisce Douglas’s gazel running Cream-Sponge Para Litefoots.

The time narratives of Colonel Freeleigh and Helen Loomis and Bill Forrester (the precursor to Somewhere in Time) is made tangible by the green wrist watch.

In the hue of fresh dandelions the Peter Pan collar blouse, recognizes the resistance of never wanting to grow up.
Freshly cut, grass green denim celebrates the first day of summer: the first lawn cutting of the year.
Mrs. Bentley is remembered by the trinket ring she “stole” from the young girl she never was.

The shoes are another interpretation of the Cream-Sponge Para Litefoot Shoes 

The glasses speak to the paradigm shifting realizations like Leo Aufman’s Happiness Machine.

And the belt, well it was a cute belt.
