How NOT to Wear a Tank Top

So it’s summer. Obviously you’re not gonna be wearing anymore sweaters for a while. SO! It’s time to yank out those tanks, ladies!! But beware, there are some wrong ways to wear a tank top. Just in case you’ve forgotten from last summer, let’s review:

Numero Uno! Never wear a tank top with your bra straps showing!!! I know it’s tempting to do, but DON’T! It’s soooo unattractive and just sloppy looking. Besides, there’s an easy fix to this tank top faux pas: Just layer a thinner tank top in an vibrant color underneath. This little trick will also hide your tummy area if you’re concerned about that.

Number Two! Steer clear of tanks that are too short. Just in case you haven’t noticed, we’re not doing the midriff bearing thing anymore. A tummy covering tank is much more classy and chic.

Number Three! Check your posture at the door! Slumpy shoulders will give you a slumpy, sloppy appearance. So make sure and stand up straight and hold your head high, you’ll look thinner as well!!

Have a Green Wedding the Chic way

Yes! You can have a green wedding and still have it be beautiful and chic. Check out these tips on keeping your wedding environmentally friendly:

1. Invitations: Go with tree-free or recycled paper, and consider a one piece folded design which can save paper and envelopes

2. Food and Drink: Try sourcing food and drink for your reception from local organic producers.

3. Non-disposable Products: Avoid disposable products wherever possible. Caterers should use real dishes, linens, cutlery and glassware, or rent them if necessary.

4. Wedding Attire: Consider a dress rental or buying a used one and then re-selling it

5. Transportation: Carpooling works for weddings, too, at least from the wedding to the reception

6. Photography: Those disposable cameras at every table are fun but they can be very wasteful
