fashion & diversityFashion magazines such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar are not what they used to be. By that I am referring to "woke" material such as diversity, equity, and inclusion propaganda (see Home Page for more on this). Check one out online or visit the website to see what I’m referring to. Haute Couture continues to "push the envelope" in terms of outrageousness. Modern designers also incorporate LGBTQIA+ models. Most women will not be interested in their creations due to eccentricity and cost.

Lifestyles have changed somewhat since 2020; for example, more people now work from home, shop online, etc. That said, comfort is key. Fashion has reflected this recently; its focus is on what feels good to wear (soft, warm, stretchy, etc.) and less on “making an impression.” See fashion trends websites for what designers are doing currently.

What Is a Color Wheel? A color wheel is a circle diagram that illustrates the relationships between different colors. In 1666, Sir Isaac Newton created the first color wheel, asymmetrical and consisting of seven colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. In 1810, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe developed a symmetrical color wheel with just six colors (eliminating indigo), similar to the one we use today. Artists and fashion designers use color wheels to create color schemes that produce a desired aesthetic effect.

What is Color Theory? Color theory is a set of guidelines for mixing, combining, and manipulating colors. It studies how colors work together and how they affect our emotions and perceptions. 1. Color harmony: Color harmony describes color pairings that are visually pleasing and provide a sense of visual harmony. Color schemes based on complementary and analogous colors are generally viewed as harmonious. This can depend upon personal preference. 2. Color temperature: Color temperature involves breaking colors down into warm and cool colors. 3. Color context: Colors appear to behave differently when viewed in different contexts; various factors such as light source and surrounding colors influence color.
Shop Your closetSurvey your wardrobe to determine what items you already own. Chances are, you have a myriad of outfits ready to put together. Don't be afraid to mix and match! You set the rules. Try boho or romantic with grunge, classy with masculine. Having an extensive wardrobe accumulated over many years, below I share some examples of how to do it.
Notes: Not showing off footwear here, so pardon the casual slip-ons on some photos. Although not photogenic by any means, I do like to try on/model clothing.

Stay tuned! favorite beauty productsI purchase my products from amazon.com; however, you may wish to purchase from the company websites.
Burt’s Bees This brand contains mostly natural ingredients. They offer a wide variety of products, including lipstick, lipliner, cleansers, etc. Honest Beauty This brand is the best lipstick I’ve discovered thus far; and the products are not loaded with dangerous chemicals. Palladio Botanical and vitamin-infused cosmetics are offered by this company. I feel better using lipliner without the harsh chemicals. It’s the best lipliner I’ve discovered thus far. e.l.f. Cosmetics My favorite product here are their eyebrow pencils. I use taupe, and the slightly darker color.
makeup tips
#1 Rule for those over 60: LESS is more! Do not overdo it unless you want to look older! For day-to-day wear, I’d suggest lipstick/liner, under-eye coverup, eyebrow pencil, and facial moisturizer. Pretty simple, right? Save the eyeliner, mascara, and blush for special occasions. Foundation is optional; I don’t use it as a general rule. It’s good to let your skin “breathe” as much as possible. Neutrogena face self-tanner in Light is a nice, natural application for summer months. my beauty routine
