Ladies T Shirt Apparel and the Dead Wrong Way to Wear Them

By: Flaire' Scott

I have listed the top ten ladies T violations that I have personally observed; and honestly have been in violation of myself in the past. We are all guilty of breaking some fashion rules from time to time, so if you think you are alone, your not. Sometimes we just don't know any better and other times we pray that we don't see anyone we know and make a mad dash to our destination only to see the very person we did not want to see. Or we see someone we wish we could get to know, but now we can't even get a second look because we look a Hot Mess in our Tee!

Therefore,
1. Do not under any circumstances allow excess mid drift to be visible while rocking tees. If we have love handles, we must only purchase t shirt apparel that completely covers them. When I am personally feeling bloated in that area, I wear a good girdle and this helps a lot to hide my bulges.

2. Also, never allow excess tummies to peak out of our T's. The same above advice to overcome this applies here. I also suck my belly in all day everyday. I may be perpetrating a six pack for now, but this really works to actually flatten your stomach.

3. Be sure that your T shirt sleeves are not squeeeeeezing the life out of your arms. If the tee is too small give it away. Just let it go.

4. Ladies, just as too little does not work, neither is it sexy to wear oversized tees in public. Arms drowning in sleeves and slumpy necklines do not work for us. Now feel free to lounge in the privacy of your home wearing your man' tee, but just keep that between the two of you.

5. Colorful and patterned bras are pretty, but not if they are clearly visible through your white tee. That's simply not cute.

6. For those who tie the tees, the front knot tie is over. It may come back, but it's gone for now. I've seen some who can still get away with tying them in the back though, as long as the tee is not tied too tight.

7. Spaghetti strap tees are some of our favorites, but a red tee showing green bra straps or any like combination of off colors should be avoided at all costs.

8. Also, spaghetti strap T's deserve the best; Clean shaven underarms coated with clear deodorant.

9. Wrinkle Free T's only. Steaming them works best, but an iron will work.

10. Last, but certainly not least. Everyone loves unique apparel shirts, especially the one's with crafty slogans. When wearing one, ask yourself, "Is this saying truly representing me, what I stand for, what I believe in?"

One time I saw this girl at a baseball game wearing a white tee with a big red kiss and big red letters that said, "Kiss This" and it had an arrow pointing in a very foul direction. I almost gagged on my hot dog and thought to myself, "Now she lacks DigniTee"!

Finding the Perfect Bra to Wear Under Your Summer Outfits

By Suzi Kern

We've put together some great new outfits for the summer and early fall, and now we need to find the perfect bra to wear with all those sexy little tee shirts and light see-through shirts and tops. Here are five essential bras that every woman needs for summer:

T-shirt Bra
T-shirt bras are the Must-have this summer. With their smooth shaping, t-shirt bras are just the thing to wear underneath those clingy little cotton shirts. Designed with hidden under wire, these smooth, sleek bras practically vanished beneath even the sheerest fabrics. T-shirt bras usually have contoured, molded cups that are lined and lightly padded to prevent show-through. T-shirt bras are available in a broad range of styles, from pushup, plunge, under-wire, wire-free, microfiber stretch and Chantilly lace.

Strapless Bra
No woman's summer wardrobe would be complete without a sexy strapless bra. Today's strapless bras are comfortable, supportive, seamless, and constructed to stay in place. Strapless bras should generally be worn a bit tighter than a normal bra, in order to stay in place. You can find strapless bras in styles ranging from push-up, hidden wire bustier, and lace seamless convertible. For those truly daring, sexy low back dresses or tops, you'll want to try the multi-use, self-adhesive, strapless, backless bra.

Sports Bra
Active gals need to wear a good sports bra! No matter what physical activity you're participating in, you can find just the right style sports bra that will give you the comfort and support that you need. You can find sports bras with support ranging from padded, shaped, under wire cups to an over-the-head, lightweight, microfiber crop top for those less endowed ladies. Sports bras are available in styles that feature zipper front closures, soft cup stretch, racer back, seamless shelf, and even molded sport nursing bras for you expectant mothers!

Racer back Bra
Most of you won't have to worry about visible bra straps under sleeveless shirts and tanks when wearing a racer back bra. The racer back bra was named after those racing-type bathing suits that competitive swimmers wear. The straps on a racer back bra meet in a V type shape on the back, between the shoulder blades. Also known as a t-back bra, racer back bras are designed with front closure, adjustable straps and under wire support.

7 Reasons Why Ironing Is Not Sexy

By Patrick Gunning

I bought a Clothing Steamer and you should too, steam is sexy! Here's why.
1. Sweating over a hot iron with the possibility of severe bodily injury does not turn people on! Nor does the image of a hairy guy with a sleeveless t-shirt at the laundry. Suggestion, avoid the visual here!

2. No one can iron a shirt without leaving some wrinkles. Isn't the whole point to get the wrinkles out? Ironing wrinkle free is not possible, no not even by the pros, just look at your shirts from the dry cleaners. Oh, by the way, wearing a starched shirt that feels like cardboard makes me want to rip it off and go home.

3. Speaking of dry cleaners, they charge $5 to $10 a shirt to iron it. Now, let's face it, you can teach a monkey to push an iron with almost the same results. Here's my question: who would choose ironing as a career path?

4. Burn, scorch, shiny marks, starch clumps; get the point?

5. Solving an advanced mathematics problem is easier than trying to figure out how to get the shirt on the ironing board so you can iron it wrinkle free! Definition of frustration in four words: ironing collars and sleeves.

6. You have 7 shirts to iron. For most people this is so depressing that you would rather be driving on a Los Angeles freeway at rush hour!

7. I tried a clothing steamer. 7 shirts, a few minutes, no ironing board, steamed right on the hanger, no wrinkles, no back ache!

8. Bonus point to my readers: Steam is sexy!

I'm glad I got that off my chest, thanks for listening! Oh, before I forget, get a clothing steamer!
Disclaimer: A clothing steamer is safe for all fabrics and not to be used on your body! ...or anyone else's!
