Consumers tend to make straightforward New Year resolutions: Spend less, save more and pay down debt. This year, it appears retailers want to change just one thing...their bottom line. The tried-and-true methods aren't working anymore as consumers learn to resist the urge to buy, so merchants are starting their own trends. According to Bloomberg, consumer spending stalled in December, with a rise of just 0.1 percent, as Americans took advantage of last...

Cut the Cougar Crap

Liz Tuccillo
Writer, Sex and the City

Through the ages, women have never had a lack of complaints about the inequalities between men and women. Particularly when it comes to romance, dating and age, there's always been a lot to complain about. I wish I could say that I am not about to contribute to that litany of gripes, but oh no, I'm about to jump right in. So, this whole "Cougar" thing. I wouldn't mind if that term got lost in the Bronx Zoo and was never heard from again. Or was shot...

Sheer dresses hit the redcarpet running, but can you sport them?

25 August 2009

Oh Megan Fox, how we loathe your flawlessness. As if we weren’t jealous enough, Megan Fox struts down the red carpet wearing a little black that fades to sheer at the top. It looked amazing, but can we copy? Strapless or skin-showing dresses often forgive not so smooth arms, a few lumps and armpit bulge. Sheer dresses, however aim to show what is usually covered by fabric, but rather than having some space to move around and breathe, the sheer dresses cut confound your skin, cutting it off in ways that may not flatter. leighton Meester sheer

So if you wouldn’t normally show your belly, then a dress with a sheer belly - albeit, I haven’t seen one to date - is a no no. Megan Fox, may not have a stitch of her she’d be afraid to bear, but using her dress as an example, if you wouldn’t wear a strapless dress as low as this one, then don’t do the sheer. The sheer stripes would be hell for tummy rolls. Choose wisely. Feeling brave, Leighton Meester covered and uncovered her favorite parts in the (right) Emilio de la Morena sheer paneled number she sported down the MTV Movie Awards red carpet. A non-celeb feeling frisky enough to expose their right rear? We can’t fathom, but hey, if you got it, flaunt it.

Then there are some celebs we just can’t measure up to, in style, in attitude, in talent. In short, some sheer is best left to the professionals.

[…] What does an average working woman do with barely there textile and pieces that reveal? I’m guessing that in the Spring, people will have to wear pants and shirts, but sheer stuck. YSL’s autumn leather pieces carried over. Candy colors and lips that pop were as frequent as toque toppers and tall platforms. Continue to accessorize with belts, headbands, earrings, sunglasses. Allow these accessories influence your fall purchases. As for businesswear, there were plenty of knee length skirts and safe for work jackets. Just because the models aren’t wearing shirts with their suits, doesn’t mean you should! […]
