Fashion will allow you to break the rules!!

A tall lady with a long torso would look fabulous in this cropped cardigan when it is worn with the longer style baby doll top as pictured on the right!
This model is tall but she looks even taller wearing this long boyfriend style cardigan! Just think about what it could do for a petite lady!

Look at how pretty this curvy lady looks in this dress that fits close to her body rather than something over sized!


Ladies, ladies, ladies. What am I gonna do with you!!!!! I run into so many women that think just because they are short they can't wear anything too long, or tall ladies who think they can't wear a cropped jacket, or larger ladies who think they can't wear anything too close to their body, or a skinny minnie who thinks she can't wear..... well, I don't know what you skinny minnies can't wear but anyway, you get what I am saying I hope. I am so tired of ladies thinking these thoughts without even trying! Yes, you might be short and you think you can't wear a boyfriend cardigan because it will make you appear shorter. Well of course it will make you appear shorter with those baggy pants and flat shoes you have on!! You HAVE to know HOW to wear the boyfriend cardigan. See how TALL it actually makes a shorter lady appear when she puts on some skinny black jeans and heels!!! It is all in HOW you wear it in fashion. It is all about styling yourself. To some women this can be confusing. For me it is fun!! There are so many body types out there. Ladies with a long torso would look FAB in a cropped jacket paired with some modern pleated wide leg pants! Ladies who are curvy will be surprised at how slim they look when they try something on that actually fits closer to their body than in something over sized! Yes I have to agree that there may be some types of fashion trends that really are not for you. But I believe that there are more than you think that you might want to give a chance. Don't rule anything out, unless it is a look that you really don't like. Just experiment, and break the rules a little. You will be surprised at what you come up with! Here is just a little tip from me, the stylist. It is actually one of my secrets that I am going to let you in on. Try to think opposites attract in every aspect of your body in respect to what you are trying to put on it. It usually works! Do you follow me??? If not, please become a fan of Laura's Style on Facebook and ask me any questions you might have! I promise I will answer:-)

Fashion Is For Models. STYLE Is For Real Women.

The fashion world has always favored skinny models to show off the latest trends. But it's the real women who actually buy them. Why does this make sense? Well I guess when it comes right down to the brutal truth, people buy things that look good. And lets face it, clothes look better when they are smaller. It's kind of like when I go into a store to try on shoes and the one on display that I am attracted to is a size 6 or 7 and then the sales clerk brings out my size (9 or 9/2) and I'm like "That's not the same shoe, is it? The one on display looks different!" The clerk tells me that it is in fact the same shoe. Suddenly, I don't want to try it on anymore. So, I just want to tell all you ladies out there who are not a size 4 in a dress that I get it. But we can't let it bother us.  Fashion is everywhere and marketing is everywhere and the majority of it is big beautiful pictures of skinny people. Keep in mind, models in magazines have the b...

FALL for Flowers!

{Leifsdottir Alegrias tiered floral skirt} Totally unpredictable and completely cool. Flowers for fall are exactly what you need to take your "I miss summertime" blues away. There are no rules in fashion. It's just about achieving a look that is your best and that you feel good in. Who says plaid is the only print you can wear in the fall? Now, don't get me wrong. Plaid is one of my favorite patterns. So maybe we can mix them together! {See below} Flower patterns are fun and so glamorous during any season. Just make your floral skirts a little more fall like by wearing a pair of colorful tights! Can you say FLOWER POWER?! And we are going to need some major FLOWER POWER especially when the temperature begins to drastically drop. {Christopher Kane ~ garden leather mini skirt} {Carolina Herrera}

The Necessary Black T-Shirt

I have to admit, I have not been getting dressed up much these days. I think it has something to do with just wanted to be comfortable. I have been sewing a ton of masks at The Maine Square   and it just feels better to not be confined in my clothing as I am cutting fabric and sewing. However, I do have to go out of the studio occasionally. Mostly it's to the mailbox, but sometimes it's to get more supplies and of course food. I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, but I do think about how I look even when going out to do these quick errands. It makes me feel good to look half decent! Lately I have been opting for a simple black tee shirt and a pair of semi faded jeans. All I need to do it pop on a camel colored blazer and some ballet flats and I am good to go! Oh yeah, and I ALWAYS wear a mask when entering a public facility these days. I think it's just common courtesy with all that is going on with the corona virus.  Here are some of my all-time favori...
