Can I blog to lose weight?--Day 14

You know you're on a diet when...
You click on Delicious.com thinking it's all the food that's been forbidden on your diet.

Well, if you are like most of the industrialized world, you've watched at least the highlights of the Royal Wedding of William & Kate. Her gown, beautiful. It looked like her, befitting a future Queen. We had no problem recognizing her. Her dress was classic with a modern tweak. Lace, lace lace, which is is really big this year.  It will definitely stand the test of time.
This is a good reminder that when you develop a personal style, it makes everything easier. Also, when you tend toward the classic, you won't regret those pictures in the future.

There have been a lot of pictures of the late Princess Diana in the news (naturally), and it's been fun reliving the fashion. It makes me feel better that I wasn't the only one sporting huge shoulder pads and a lot of fabric in the 80's. I blame Diana. Yeah, it was all her fault, the fashion icon that she was. Her fashion did evolve over time. She moved more toward the classic, but never boring. Of course fashion changed, as it always does, but I think Diana discovered what was right for her within the trends of the time. This is key. When you choose what is right for you: your body type, your personality and lifestyle, you will look great. You will feel great. And, if you are not completely trendy you won't regret those pictures.

I heard some great fashion advice a while back that I think is worth passing on... When it comes to the trend of the moment: pick the hot color or a the hot style, not both in one piece. So that means if today's hot color is orange and the hot style is a bell bottom jean. Don't wear an orange bell bottom jean. Well, you can, but be prepared that it's a one season item (And you'll always be known as the girl who wore the wacky orange clown pants). If, instead, you buy orange in a classic style, or a bell bottom in a classic blue denim, then you can probably get more than one season out of the item. Mix trendy style in a classic color with a trendy color in a classic style. Makes sense, right?

So back to Kate, the obvious fashion icon of the present and foreseeable future.  Seems like she has already mastered the rules of looking great. A fashion media darling. Words of advice: watch it Kate, stay true to yourself, don't go too trendy (no orange bell bottom jeans--you'd start a trend that I just don't want to see on the average person) and for heaven's sake don't gain weight or they will crucify you.

Weigh in: I decided to change this to weekly--reasons will be explained tomorrow.
