What Not To Wear Active Wear
We have worked hard all week and now its time to be a bit Casual
Hello everyone..... is there a beautiful woman under that baggy, shapeless, masculine fleece athletic wear?
Your weekend wear should excite and energize you to have fun, not to mention help you look stunning. You should choose beautiful well fitting activewear that creates shape through the waist, ends around your hip bone, and contains a fabric blend containing Lycra or spandex. As well its just as easy to put on a flattering active jacket as it is one of those unflattering fleece blobs.
Sweatpants with elastic bands at the bottom add bulk to the lower half and look like yuck!!!! Try straight leg yoga or running pants instead. You will get the simple ease of just pulling them on and looking great. The cut of the garment and the lighter weight fabric is a much more figure friendly look.
Whether you pick a track suit or a finely tailored yoga pant or running pant you should pick a well fitting top with some color or with a pattern that just says wow. Great for weekend shopping and great to wear on an outdoor walk or run with a friend. Finish your activewear look with a pair of well fitted runners or a nice pair of walking shoes.
Here are some shopping websites for you to choose some active wear from.

Jeans can be worn for style or if you choose they can be worn casually and when they get old and worn then perhaps a bit of gardening. You should look good whatever the occasion. Here are some helpful tips when you choose your next pair of nice fitting jeans.
The Front of the Jean:
- The waist hits around your belly button without being too tight or causing your tummy to muffin over the top.
- Front pockets lie flat and are nicely angled in and up like an hourglass.
- The crotch ends close to the body without excessive gaping, pulling, or gathering. Check to make sure there is no crotch tent when you sit down.
- The legs offer an elongating line that balances your hips and is not too tight across the thigh. The hem extends at least to the base of the back of your foot.
- Any treatment is subtle. Keep in mind, heavily faded or lighter areas draw the eye and make those areas look larger.
The Back of the Jean:
- The yoke is deep and hugs the body. Bend over and check for the underwear salute or, worse, a coin slot how-do-ya-do.
- Beefy back pockets are bun -centered, tilted slightly. and triangular.
- You see two distinctive cheeks that are separated and cradled by perfectly constructed denim.
I have found you some online stores that feature denim apparel and a footwear and an accessories store for you to shop and enjoy. I have included one of my on line stores as well. EnJoy!

The role of the era called the roaring 20's and today's fashion trends.
A Brief History
After world war one the western world was never the same. We had sent our young men to war and our young women into the factories to assist in the war effort. Many a young man did not return from the war and many young women were without any opportunity to marry. Society was never to be the same. The attitude was eat, drink,and be merry for tomorrow you may die. The 1920's were filled with change and fashion saw a big change as well. The conservative Victorian look was long gone and the attitude of women and their fashion was forever changed. Enter the era of the Flapper, its image and its culture set a course of never ending fashion change.
Flapper Image
The Flapper's image consisted of drastic - to some, shocking - changes in women's clothing and hair. Nearly every article of clothing was trimmed down and lightened in order to make movement easier.
It is said that "parked " their corsets when they were to go dancing. The new, energetic dances of the Jazz Age, required women to be able to move freely, something the "ironsides" didn't allow. Replacing the pantaloons and corsets were underwear called "step-ins." The outer clothing of the flappers is even still extremely identifiable. This look, called "garconne" (little boy ), was instigated by Coco Chanel. To look more like a boy, women tightly wound their chest with strips of cloth in order to flatten it. The waists of flapper clothes were dropped to the hipline. She wore stockings- made of rayon ("artificial silk" ) starting in 1923 - which the flapper often wore rolled over a garter belt.
The hem of the skirts also started to rise in the 1920's. At first the hem only rose a few inches, but from 1925 to 1927 a flapper's skirt fell just below the knee. The skirt comes just below her knees, overlapping by a faint fraction her rolled and twisted stockings. The idea is that when she walks in a bit of a breeze, you shall now and then observe the knee ( which is not rouged - that's newspaper talk ) but always in an accidental, Venus-surprised-at-the-bath sort of way.
The Gibson Girl, who prided herself on her long, beautiful, lush hair, was shocked when the flapper cut hers off. The short haircut was called the "bob" which was later replaced by an even shorter haircut, the "shingle" or "Eton" cut. The shingle cut was slicked down and had a curl on each side of the face that covered the woman's ears. Flappers often finished the ensemble with a felt, bell-shaped hat called a cloche.
Flappers also started wearing make-up, something that had previously been only worn by loose women. Rouge, powder, eye-liner, and lipstick became extremely popular.
Beauty is the fashion in 1925. She is frankly, heavily made up, not to imitate nature, but for an altogether artificial effect- pallor mortus, poisonously scarlet lips, richly ringed eyes- the latter looking not so much debauched ( which is the intention ) as diabetic.

Flapper Attitude:
The flapper attitude was characterized by stark truthfulness, fast living, and sexual behavior. Flappers seemed to cling to youth as if it were to leave them in a moment. They took risks and were reckless. They wanted to be different, to announce their departure from the Gibson Girl's morals. So they smoked. Something only men had done previously. Their parents were shocked.
I was sure my girls had never experimented with a hip-pocket flask, flirted with other women's husbands, or smoked cigarettes. My wife entertained the same delusion, and was saying something like that out loud at the dinner table one day. And then she began to talk about other girls. "They tell me that the Purvis girl has cigarette parties at her home," remarked my wife.
She was saying it for the benefit of Elizabeth, who runs somewhat with the Purvis girl. Elizabeth was regarding her mother with curious eyes. She made no reply to her mother, but turning to me, right there at the table, she said: "Dad, let's see your cigarettes." Without the slightest suspicion of what was forthcoming, I threw Elisabeth my cigarettes. She withdrew a fag from the package, tapped it on the back of her left hand, inserted it between her lips, reached over and took my lighted cigarette from my mouth, lit her own cigarette and blew airy rings toward the ceiling.
My wife nearly fell out of her chair, and I might have fallen out of mine if hadn't been momentarily stunned.
Smoking wasn't the most outrageous of the flapper's rebellious actions. Flappers drank alcohol. At a time when the United States had outlawed alcohol (Prohibition), young women were starting the habit early. Some even carried hip-flasks full so as to have it on hand. More than a few adults didn't like to see tipsy young women. Flappers had a scandalous image as the "giddy flapper, rouged and clipped, careening in a drunken stupor to lewd strains of a jazz quartet."
The 1920s was the Jazz Age and one of the most popular past-times for flappers was dancing. Dances such as the Charleston, Black Bottom, and the Shimmy were considered "wild " by older generations. As described in the May 1920 edition of the Atlantic Monthly. flappers " trot like foxes, limp like lame ducks, one-step like cripples, and all to the barbaric yawp of strange bedlam." For the younger generation, the dances fit their fast-paced live-style. For the first time since the train and the bicycle, a new form of faster transportation was becoming popular. Cars were fast and risky - perfect for the flapper attitude. Flappers not only insisted on riding in them; they drove them.
Unfortunately for their parents, flappers didn't just use cars to ride in. The back seat became a popular location for the new popular sexual activity, petting. Others hosted petting parties. Through their attire was modeled after little boy's outfits, flappers flaunted their sexuality. It was a radical change from their parent's and grandparent's generations.

The End of Flapperhood
Though many were shocked by the flapper's skimpy attire and licentious behavior, a less extreme version of the flapper became respectable among the old and the young. Some women cut off their hair and stopped wearing corsets, but didn't go to the extreme of flapperhood.
If one judges by appearances, I suppose I am a flapper. I am within the age limit. I wear bobbed hair, the badge of flapperhood. ( And, oh, what a comfort it is! ) I powder my nose. I wear fringe shirts and bright-colored sweaters, and scarves, and waists with Peter Pan collars, and low-heeled "finale hopper" shoes. I adore the dance. I spend a large amount of time in automobiles. I attend hops, and proms, and ball-games, and crew races, and other affairs at men's colleges. But none the less some of the most thoroughbred superflappers might blush to claim sistership or even remote relationship with such as I. I don't use rouge, or lipstick, or pluck my eyebrows. I don't smoke ( I've tried it, and don't like it ), or drink, or tell "peppy stories." I don't pet.
At the end of the 1920's, the stock market crashed and the world was plunged into the Great Depression. Frivolity and recklessness was forced to come to an end. However, much of thr flapper's changes remained.
In the 1920's, flappers broke away from the Victorian image of womanhood. They dropped the corset, chopped their hair, dropped layers of clothing to increase ease of movement, wore make-up, created the concept of dating, and became a sexual person. They created what many consider the "new" of "modern" woman.
