Today's Topic: FASHION

Option 1: Wear mostly black. Throw in some white/beige/gray for some variety. It is a very slimming look and really narrows down what you're wearing for the day.

If you are a girl, wear lots of opaque black tights. Especially with skirts, even in the summer. Especially with skirts and knee high boots in the winter. Bring this outfit out as soon as temperatures dip below 50 degrees. Wear black and brown together. It IS OK.

If you are a boy, wear very skinny jeans. The kind that are legging tight. Preferably very acid washed if possible. And a snug sweater with a scarf. Don't forget your man purse. And if you are wearing a suit, make sure it is FITTED.

Option 2: Wear color. Any color you want. The brighter, the better, especially if living in Texas.

If you are a girl, flip flops are king and can be worn with anything. Workout clothes can be worn to the grocery store if need be. Think - casual, comfortable - Gap/Jcrew/BR.

If you are a boy, wear slightly baggier jeans with tennis shoes. If dressing up, khakis and a short sleeved polo is the required uniform. Suits are worn to be cut very wide. Think Brooks Brothers or Jo S Banks.

WHAT WOULD YOU PREFER?

Me, I am undecided. I am a bit of both.

The Houston city girl in me likes to dress up. Been doing it my whole life so I like the slimming look of black and looking nice. But the Austin lover in me loves wearing flip flops and being casual. Working out and being able to shop for dinner without people staring at you for being in workout clothes at Franprix.

Brian: For casual clothes, he's definitely American. But for dressup clothes, he's getting to be European. He is starting to like slimmer cuts (including the pants), which makes for a challenge for his *slight* pear shape. :o) Brian, don't be mad at me for saying that. I am pear shaped too.
