4 Tips to Choosing the Perfect Necklace
We talk about how to pick the right shoes, the right purse, the right earrings, but we don’t spend a lot of time talking about the perfect necklace. Do you know the different kinds of necklaces? Do you know which necklace goes with which neckline? Do you know which necklace to where for a specific occasion?
Tip #1 – What is a necklace?
We’ll start our discussion of necklaces by defining what a necklace is. There are several different kinds of accessories that are people wear with their clothes. One of these accessories is placed around the neck and is called a necklace.
There are many different kinds and types of necklaces. Necklaces can be gold or silver chains. Sometimes the chains have another piece of metal such as a pendent or locket that will hang down from the chain.
Tip #2 – Kinds of Necklaces
There are a lot of different kinds of necklaces. The following is a list of the different varieties of necklaces:
Bib Necklace - This necklace has several strands of pearls that are stepped.
Choker - This type of necklace is tight around the neck and is found at the base of the neck.
Dog Collar - This kind of necklace has several strands of pearls that are tight around the neck.
Graduated Necklace - This is a necklace that has one strand of pearls. At the middle of the necklace there is a large pearl. Pearls get smaller as the reach the clasp.
Matinee Necklace - This type of necklace is found around the top of the cleavage.
Opera Necklace - This kind of necklace can be found at the breastbone.
Princess Necklace - This kind of necklace has a length between the size of the choker necklace and the matinee necklace.
Rope Necklace - The rope necklace is a necklace that is longer than an opera necklace.
Uniform Necklace - This kind of necklace is also pearl necklace, but in this case the pearls are all close to the same size. The only place where they are a little different in size is around the ends. The manufacturers make them this way so that the pearls are proportioned.
Tip #3 – Sizes of Necklaces
The collar type of necklace comes in a size around 13 inches. They can vary in size but 13 inches is the typical size.
The most classic style of necklaces, the choker is usually around 14 inches.
The chain necklaces also come in a size of 16 inches and 18 inches.
Tip #4 – What necklaces match what necklines?
In choosing the perfect necklace, we have looked at what a necklace is and the kind's necklaces that you can wear and the sizes that necklaces come in. This section will take a look at what necklaces will match the various necklines and outfits.
If your wardrobe includes v-neck sweaters, or any clothing that is off the shoulder, the collar necklaces go well with this type of clothing.
The chokers have been a great type of necklace to use for just about any type of clothing from business casual to the formal evening dress. The necklace will accent the neckline and can be worn with the casual as well as the trendy outfit.
The princess necklace looks wonderful with a pendent or locket. The princess necklace is goes well with clothes that have a crew neck, a high or low neckline.
Another necklace that looks great with a high neckline is the matinee necklace. This necklace goes well with a sundress, or a formal gown

How To Dress For An Interview

2008-11-23T01:46:00.001-08:00

How to dress for an interviewThe first three minutes of your interview are most critical because you get but one chance for a good first impression. Before you can utter your first word, your appearance has already spoken volumes about you. While it does not speak of your job skills, your appearance will be judged in some respects by what you wear. Therefore, your clothing should not only make you feel good about yourself but also project a professional image matching the requirements of the position and the company.The key to projecting a professional image is, first and foremost, to dress tastefully and conservatively. Beyond that, the guidelines are simple.Guidelines for womenDresses, suits: conservative business suit or dress of a natural or woven-blend fabric in a soft color complementing your skin and hair color -- blue, navy, gray, beige, tan or brown. Skirt length should be at least to the bottom of the knee.Blouses: simple style, white or soft colors. Avoid very frilly styles and low-cut necklines.Shoes: sensible shoes; polished pumps or medium heels in a color that matches your outfit.Hose: natural, beige, or tan; avoid patterns or lacy stockings.Purse: (optional) small or medium size in a color that goes with your outfit.Nail polish: either clear or conservative color.Makeup: moderate.Jewelry: simple, minimal. One set of earrings only. No more than one ring on each hand.Guidelines for menSuits: dark blue, gray, brown, or very muted pin-stripes. A good-quality woven blend of natural fibers looks professional. Suits should be properly tailored and freshly dry-cleaned.Shirts: a good quality, white button-down or white classic collar preferred. Most importantly, make sure the shirt is pressed.Ties: silk or good quality blends only. Conservative stripes or paisleys that complement your suit. The tip of a tie should end near the center of the belt buckle.Shoes: highly polished slip-ons or laced dress shoes in black, brown, or cordovan. Dark socks.Facial hair: no beards; mustaches are a possible negative. If you must, make sure it is neatly trimmed.Jewelry: no chains, bands, or necklaces showing. No rings other than wedding ring or college ring. No earrings (if you normally wear one, take it out.)For both women and menWell-groomed hairstyle.Clean, manicured fingernails.Minimal perfume or cologne. Best if applied at least two hours before the interview. A little goes a long way in a small, closed interview room.Empty pockets? no tinkling change or bulges.No gum or cigarettes.No body piercing (nose rings, eyebrow rings, etc.)Pay attention to even smallest details. Interviewers often consider the condition of your shoes as a way to tell whether you pay attention to detail. To that end, avoid shoes that are not shined or that have run-down heels.Suppose it's a dinner interview?The dinner interview may be a semi-formal or formal function. The written invitation will usually indicate whether the event is semi-formal or formal. For the semi-formal dinner, men's wear is typically a nice, dark colored suit with a white shirt; women may wear a knee-length business suit or a cocktail length dress. For a formal dinner or a black-tie event, men should wear a tuxedo with no tails, and women, a long dress with matching shoes. Low-cut, sexy dresses or colorful, far-out ties are not appropriate for either of these functions.Just use common senseIf you show up for your interview dressed in business attire and your potential employer is not, don't worry. It is far better to be dressed professionally than to be dressed too casually. Employers want people who are broad based in their abilities to learn, grow, and contribute, employees who are flexible. Being dressed in a suit won't hurt your ability to be seen as someone employable.Remember, your competence is not based on what you wear but rather on your business and personal knowledge and skills. Clothing simply allows you to state who you are and helps you to reach your professional goals. Appearance can be a powerful and useful tool in controlling the kind of message you send to others. With a little common sense and attention to details, you can easily make sure that first impression is your best. [courtesy of employment911]

Major Points of Interest in New Zealand
Everybody has an opinion but what I have tried to do is point out the places that are uniquely New Zealand. I have hundreds of other "important" places I like to point out.
The biggest problem I have in creating itineraries for visitors too many want to do the whole lot in 10 days to 2 weeks. Driving in New Zealand isn't through flat ground but in minority areas. It is a country of beautiful mountains and farmland interspersed with abundant lakes, streams and vast beaches. The roads are well maintained but they usually are going up or down while going around a curve let alone the numerous one-way bridges.
This is not a place you can rush though and shouldn't want to.
We have been on the road now 24/7-365 days a year for five years and never tire of the beauty we see every day......a world of natural wonder to be savoured in passing. I have been able to be in the same areas at so many different conditions I have been able to get top photos as sooner or later we are in that spot at a perfect day for the sunshine and shadows...
Way over 10,000 images last count..........and still shooting!

If on the North Island I prefer Rotorua, Waitomo and the Bay of Islands, Taranaki.
If you have limited time when landing in Auckland I always suggest going south to Waitomo and Rotorua on through the high desert country and by the volcanoes of the Central Plateau
and on to Wellington.
Cross over to the South Island on the Bluebridge Ferry (my favourite) to Picton (a magic 3 1/2 hour trip into the Marlborough Sounds).
Then south through our major wine country to Kaikoura to visit the whales, then take the road to the West Coast stopping at Hanmer Springs, our premier hot pools and on to see the scenic West Coast, stoppin at the Pancake Rocks to the arts and crafts town of Hokitika then on th a few days in Glacier Country. On to the end of the West Coast through the Aspiting National Park stopping at Thnunder Falls and the Gates of Haast.
On to Wanaka, Queenstown, Arrowtown(don't miss it) stopping in the Kawarau Gorge at the original bungy jump and the local wine country.
From Queenstown down to Te Anau to visit the fiords then take the southern route to Invercargill and Bluff then up to Dunedin to visit the Albatross and Otago Peninsula.
On north to stop at Moeraki Boulders, the blue penguins at Oamaru then inland to the Mckenzie Country to Mt Cook then around through Geraldine and on to Christchurch and Akaroa........
Just a quickie tour..........................but best done with 3 or more weeks. Lots to do and see in between all this. Remeber the drive is the most important part of the adventure through scenery every minute......
Plenty of excellent accommodations along the way from the holiday parks, B&Bs, motels, backpackers to the DOC camps.

From the Far North to Wellington:
Cape Reinga Lighthouse at the very top
Ninety Mile Beach
The Dunes in the Far North
Waitangi Treaty Grounds
Bay of Islands
Tane Mahuta(God of the Forest)
Auckland – Sky Tower, Kelly Tarlton Underwater World
Coromandel Peninsula
Waitomo Caves
Billy Black’s Woodland Park
Rotorua
Mt Taranaki
Wellington – Cuba Street

South Island:
Marlborough Sounds
West Coast (from top to bottom)**
Punakaiki Pancake Rocks
Glaciers**
Kaikoura Whale Watch**
Lewis Pass
Hanmer Springs
Akaroa
Arthurs Pass
Mount Cook*
Mackenzie Country
Oamaru Blue Penguins*
Moeraki Boulders
Dunedin

Dressing Personality Style

2008-10-04T10:13:00.000-07:00

Margarets Pages - Personality Style for Dressin
Your personality dictates your style which is your own interpretation of fashion. Analyse fabrics, textures, prints, details and accessories you like the most, as well as which colours and styles suit you, and aim to build your wardrobe around these. If you ignore your personality and buy clothes influenced by magazines or what looks great on your friends, you end up with a wardrobe that is a muddle of styles. This limits flexibility in mixing and matching to create combination outfits, and you are getting less value from your clothing investments.My pages on Colour Imaging and Image dealt with physical characteristics - your natural colouring and your body shape.As our moods vary, so do the social requirements of our lives. Special and routine occasions, call for different looks -- days when we want or need to be dramatic, classic, natural, romantic, chic or creative.When you dress in styles and accessories that reflect your personality, we notice you first, then your clothes. You look and act yourself. When you feel at ease with your image, you can be more relaxed. The following style personalities are not absolute - you may be dominately one type, but have a strong 2nd preference. Learn more about interpreting your "personality" from the following and follow yourown instinc.
=====================================================================================
DRAMATIC - a bold sophisticated style. You are the woman who walks into the room and knocks them dead with your poise, confidence and individuality.Your colours are strong,and the primaries - red, blue, yellow - when offset against black , create a favourite look. You need only choose the strongest colours from your palette and wear them in contrast.This personality avoids prints, and anything fussy, floral or too feminine.Your choice seems to move towards pop art, geometric or "conversational" prints (such as a cola bottle, or smarties dancing all over your back.Dramatics come in all shapes and sizes and dont wilt with the years. The most obvious are the tall, lean angular types who wear, overscaled striking designs so wonderfully. Petite women with dramatic personalities, can achieve the look by avoiding the obvious -- cute petite clothes and choosing rather their boldest colours in designs suited to their small scale. If you are more curved, and dramatic, let your accessories and hair create your bold sophisticated look.
TIPS FOR DRESSING DRAMATICALLY.
COLOUR - the primaries reds, blues, yellows in your season. Solid blocks of colour with a simple bold accessory. Black is a favourite, but choose the black that suits your colouring.

STYLES - striking proportions; the long jacket and short skirt; flowing culottes with a bolero; oversized shirt with leggings. Avoid the predictable. Dont buy the complete look from one designer. Choose the most striking items, perhaps the jacket or the skirt
to team up with something wonderful already in your wardrobe.
ACCESSORIES. Need to have a modern edge with minimal design. Select one piece as a focal point - large brooch, striking earrings or a one-off belt.Your shoes can not be an afterthought. Go for the opposite of others - the "shoe boot" with the short skirt, flats with trousers, and the brogue with culottes.
MAKEUP must also make a statement. best is the pale, matte foundation, deep natural tone eyeshadow (grey or brown tones) and strong lips ( your red). Always use shades from your correct colouring palette to achieve your dramatic look. (see Makeup)
HAIR - if straight, have it cut asymetrically; keep short and sleek for greatest effect. If curly, an angular wedge is very dramatic. Dont forget to take your face into account. (see Hair)
=====================================================================

CLASSIC TYPE. The timeless elegance of this style is best reflected by women who value quality more than quantity, style more than fashion.You dont want your clothes to scream "look at me", rather they are understated. You like to blend your colours in a way that is never contrived. A real Classic Woman chooses uncomplicated, simple designs that look superb.
The fabrics you choose are never extreme; too much texture makes you feel uncomfortable. So rather than a large overscale bulky jumper you go for the tightly woven, well-fitted style. Anything too fussy, frilly, silky or slippery is out; quality natural fibres are for you rather than beaded, emboldened, trimmed or dedazzled anythings. You remain unswayed by fashion trends or pressure, and can create a wardrobe that will take you anywhere.Your styles combine beautifully, so the business suit can easily and effectively be transformed for evening by a simple change of accessories.
TIPS FOR DRESSING CLASSICALLY.
COLOUR - the mid tones (blue, greens, purples) and the neutrals (cream, stone, mushroom, pewter, grey or brown) form the foundation of your wardrobe.
Many classic types also like the richer toned pastels, as the pale ones tend to make you loose the classic elegance.Traditional combinations of navy and white are great.

STYLES - nothing extreme. Your elegance relies on you looking great.Your proportions are balanced and you pay close attention to a good fit.The Classic Look gets lost if a skirt is too short or too tight, or if the jacket length is unflattering. Buy a co-ordinated look from one designer to achieve your most successful classic balance.MAKEUP. Your goal is an elegant polish so dont skip the complete routine of foundation, powder, blusher, shadow, mascara and lipstick.
ACCESSORIES - keep it simple but never ignore the importance of earrings, your key accessory. Classic Women avoid loud, dangly, excessive styles and look best in simple current designs, such as the large button gold/pearl earrings, the string of pearls and a quality watch.HAIR is never unkempt and uncontrollable, and the style doesnt demand excessive daily attention.You rely on great cut to suit the face shape, with a sleek rather than a frizzy finish.
===================================================================================== NATURAL TYPE. This type has a relaxed style that begs ease of movement and fun. Your instinctive style draws you to nature, which inspires most of your colour. Nothing neon for you, you are attraced to to vegetable dyes like sienna, ochre and indigo. For prints, you prefer paisleys, checks, plaids and stripes (but not too bold). You love texture,and can wear woolly woollens and nubby fabrics. Mistakes in your wardrobe would include frilly blouses, silk dresses and exaggerated designs.Your styles require movement, so suits can not be too form-fitting and skirts must allow you a generous stride. Even though you are probably slim, you prefer eased waistlines. Inverted pleats or soft gathers give you the freedom you need.

TIPS FOR DRESSING NATURALLY
COLOUR - nothing electric for you, and the best are the ecological tones of browns, russets, greens, yellow golds and hues from the sea - deep blues and sea-greens and sand.
For best results, blend tones and add a flash of colour, with a scarf, collar or waistcoat.STYLES - nothing too fitted, with enough room to layer. The natural loves to pile on layers, adding and subtracting as weather dictates.Woollen shawls and opaque or ribbed tights are more your style than chiffon scarves and fine denier hosiery.MAKEUP - just the bare minimum. Try a
tinted moisturiser, neutral earth-tone eyeshadws, brown or black mascara and a natural lipstick or gloss. Be honest with yourself - you really do need more than a scrubbed clean face and a touch of lipstick.
ACCESSORIES - you are best enhanced by accessories that are rich yet rustic. Handcrafted leathers and rough stone beads blend with suede, knits and corduroy. Best investments would be a quality leather- braided belt, bronze loop earrings and an antique-styled stick pin for your lapel. For chains, choose nothing too shiny or delicate.HAIR - you dont want to devote too much time fussing with mousses, gels, hair-dryers or curlers in the morning, so choose a short style or a long one that looks wonderful when easily pulled up or back with a clip.
ROMANTIC - a true Scarlett O'Hara who can create an alluring outfit from anything in your wardrobe. You are a woman who hates jeans and prefers a flowing feminine skirt and pretty blouse - even to do the gardening in !You pay great attention to detail, from your choice of earrings and the collar on your blouse, to the colour of your tights. You wouldnt dream of dashing out in any old thing - you take your time to get ready.You love colour and avoid dusty, dark shades, preferrring to accent your eyes, hair and skintone with better hues. Fabrics are soft, fluid, and rich. Velvets, lace, silks, and jersey are favourites.
TIPS ON DRESSING ROMANTICALLYCOLOUR - passionate pinks, reds, plums, purples and violets worn with delicate pastel or light coloured lace and soft blouses. If you are blonde, redhead, brunette or grey you will need to adjust colours and complement your skin, and eye as well as hair colour. You avoid neutral browns, greys, navies and black.STYLES - for work the Romantic Woman should avoid classically tailored styles, which make you look, and feel boring. Opt instead for softer cuts, which are more feminine but still professional.You will love the dresses and shawl alternative to the suit as a way to express your Romantic style, but remember not to be too frilly or silly at the office. Off duty, blouses and skirts are your favourite.ACCESSORIES - your baubles are fine, delicate and detailed. Antique gold and pewter mixed with stones complement your style along with Grannys well-worn and well-loved cameo.You love shoes, but keep the styles useful.
MAKEUP. You already know that a few minutes spent on your face completes the look. Dont get stuck in a rut, by using techniques and colours from your school days. Keep up to date.HAIR - no crisp cuts or functional bobs for you. If you don't have natural curls, waves, or enough body to give a sensuous style, get your hairdresser to advise. A true Romantic can not be happy with sharp or limp hair.
===================================================================================== EUROCHIC TYPE . The keys to chic is simplicity. Your attitude is assured, elegant and relaxed. Your style reflects all that and more. In the morning you dress confident that if you were whisked off to some unknown venue or unexpected meeting you would be well-dressed. You may have been a Classic type in the past, but extensive travel has made you realise there are ways to look timeless and chic. You may have been a Dramatic who tired of uncomfortable "fashion-forward" styles though you still can exude a very personal drama yourself.
TIPS ON DRESSING EUROCHICCOLOUR - blended, elegant combinations, never shades that are too bright, garish or clashing.Staples will include ivory, charcoal, taype, stone and pewter, which team well with monochromatic pieces or are enlivened with a dash of rich colour - olive, jade, slate or crimson. Whatever your "season" you can select your favourite neutrals and blend them with complementary tones.
STYLES - relaxed, soft and fluid, never too severe or too body hugging. An elegantly loose fit is your goal. Knits, jerseys, and quality wool crepe are terrific for cooler days, with stone-washed silks and linen for warmer ones. Opt for good quality versus bargains. The wardrobe will be lean but the possibilities will be endless.
ACCESSORIES - hunt for quality junk jewellery, avoiding extreme styles. Chanel-style costume jewellery is a good bet to complement the EuroChic look. Accessories are important but shouldn't overpower your clothes or you.
MAKEUP - no garish or bright shades. Choose natural tones to complement your elegant polish and always use matte eyeshadows, never frosted or pearlised.HAIR - whether short or long, keep it in good condition. If grey is showing get advice on options for a tint, rinse or henna treatment. Avoid frizzy perms or fussy styles.
===================================================================================== CREATIVE this covers the individual stylist who refuses a packaged look.The more mature of this "type" has an original look which to others is artistic. At work, you look professional but never stuffy because of the unpredictable way you mix separates and accessories. A true Creative probably nevers wears the same look twice because you image always reflects your moods which, having an artistic nature, are rarely certain.
You are an expert at scouring charity shops and dress agencies for rarities passed over by others, but spotted by your discerning eye.Pressure is always there for you to be more conforming and conventional. Resist, because if you dont express your creative style, you wont be able to flourish in your personal and professional pursuits.
TIPS ON DRESSING CREATIVELYCOLOUR nothing predictable, here. Clash, astound
or blend in a way no one else would dare try. Experiment with fabrics and textures that creat different effects with colour, from neon lycra to luxuriant rich velvets and tapestries. At work opt for eclectic separates, using layering and accessorising to express your innovative style.
ACCESSORIES - from your glasses and hair clips to your belts, buttons and boots, you will want to do what isn't being done by everyone else. If you wear spectacles, go for a fun, bold colour instead of conventional neutral coloured frames. Hunt for unusual buttons to transform ordinary shirts and jackets and use a favoured leather belt with rich details to interpret an outfit in your own way. You can wear shoulder dusting earrings with great panache; never little pearl studs. Pile on beads and bangles when not working, but remember to cool it for the office.
MAKEUP - make your eyes the focus. Define and deepen with kohl pencil liner in a colour (never black) to enhance your eyes. For lips, start with a neutral base in your colour palette, then accentuate the centres with your richest wearable red.HAIR - no holds barred. If you hair has good body and texture, show it off. Severe controlled styles contradict your creative style. Take risks with colour (within your seasonal guidelines). If your hair is straight try a perm for a wild carefree look. Just remember to control your creative tendencies for work.

Discover your dressing style. Have you found out?

Dressing Your Personality

What’s your Dressing Style?By Cathy Neich – Colour & Style Consultant

Over time almost everyone develops a preferred style of dress, this style is usually a reflection of their inner personality. It’s important that the clothes you wear make you feel happy, express who you are, fit with your personality, goals and lifestyle. You must wear your clothes, they must never wear you. Feeling self-conscious destroys any hope of style. Dressing in a way that pleases others and not you leads only to inner confusion and discomfort with yourself and your situation.
Finding Your Own StyleBy the time most women are in their 30s, they have discovered a dressing style that feels comfortable. Dressing to be fashionable gives way to more important aspects of life and a sense of self has made life less stressful. Most women are essentially on the ‘right track’. However, this track can often become a rut. When this happens, a style, image and colour consultation can raise you out of the rut and set you back on the style highway and open up an incredible landscape of fantastic choice.
If you are unsure if you have found your style, first take a good look at the clothes in your wardrobe. Ask yourself:• Do you feel happy and comfortable in them?• Do they project a look that you feel gives a true impression of your personality?
If your answer is ‘yes’ then you are probably well on the way to having your own style. Maybe all you need to finish the picture is an understanding of how to put everything together on a daily basis. Or maybe you just need a little help with understanding fashion trends and how to use trends wisely within your budget and lifestyle.
If your answer was ‘no’ you need to undertake a journey of style discovery starting with a study of the different fashion looks in shops and magazines. Then try on as many different styles as you can, including the classics, until you start to get an idea of the styles that not only look good on you, but that feel right with your personality.
Buy a scrap book and fill it with pictures of clothes, accessories, hairstyles and make-up looks that make you say ‘wow’. Look at the pictures after you have collected about fifty and compare them to the following 7 dressing styles described to see which two or three style categories they fit into. No one will be just one style, rather a blend of a major style and one or two minor influences.
Great style doesn’t require lots of cash. A limited budget will force you to be disciplined and make you think more carefully about every purchase you make. Does the piece you are about to buy work with a majority of your other garments or is it a fad buy (a look that will be outdated in a few weeks or months)? Rather than going all out on strong short-lived fashion items, choose accessories that will turn existing items of clothing into the fashion look of the moment. This is a far less expensive way to remain fashionable. If you are going to go out and buy a fashion fad, try not to spend too much money on it as it will most likely be a short-lived look.
There are 7 main style personalities. Classic, Feminine, Dramatic, Natural, Creative, Elegant and Sexy. While most women have one particular style that they feel best in, many will combine two and sometimes three styles to suit the different environments that they find themselves in. One such example is a business woman who likes to dress in a feminine style with pastel colours, lace and fluffy sweaters. While this is great for home and entertaining, when in the office, to gain posture, authority and the confidence of others, she will need to dress in a more classic manner.
1. CLASSICVisual Impression: Tailored and Business likePsychological Impression: Credible, Conservative, Practical and TrustworthyGreatest Positive of Style: Appropriate in almost any situationGreatest Negative of Style: May end up with a look that is too safe and conservative - even BORING. This will result from the wearers complacency, shopping only when absolutely necessary, at the last minute and often with a frugal attitude. This can lead to some women looking dated, boring, unimaginative, and even older. To combat this, it is imperative that they regularly restock their business and casual wardrobe with good quality, current, classic garments
2. FEMININEVisual Impression: Soft and RomanticPsychological Impression: Warm, Youthful, Caring and CalmGreatest Positive of Style: Inspires co-operation and opennessGreatest Negative of Style: The wearer may be judged as immature or weak and not able to cope with difficult or complex tasks
3. DRAMATICVisual Impression: Confident and CommandingPsychological Impression: Independent, Influential, Strong, Aggressive or ExcitingGreatest Positive of Style: Star recognition, gains attention quickly, memorable, automatic respect Greatest Negative of Style: May alienate themselves by appearing unapproachable or superior
