What You Should NOT Wear To A Ball



When you hear that someone is hosting a ball what do you picture? Do you picture the host standing on speakers waving his hand back and forth with amicrophone in one hand and a cup of alcohol in the other? Do you picture strippers sliding down poles and giving lap dances? Do you even picture a bar? If you visualized any of these images you may be confused. So are the people who wear short cocktail dresses that are very revealing. There is a huge difference between club attire and ball attire! A ball is meant to be a formal and calm event. So where is the proper etiquette?? Many people are so used to dressing in clothes that are revealing they do it any and every where! The ideal ball attire for a woman would be a long glamorous halter dress with glass shoes...simple jewelry maybe some long diamond dangling earrings. Her hair is most likely to be in an updo. This is more traditional and classic. Not the stripper heels with the short dress, back out and cleavage hanging out. Gowns are the classic ball attire that is where the word "ball gown" originated from.



Some Clothes Should Not Be Made In Plus Size

Being over weight of course has it's limits. Your ability to be active and energetic...limited... Your ability to fit into spaces that average weight people can fit in...limited....The amount of greasy and unhealthy foods you can continue to consume before your arteries get clogged and cause a massive heart attack...limited.... But what about the length of clothes you wear and what about the tightness of clothes you wear? should this also be limited? There are clothes that I just believe shouldn't be made in plus sizes. For example, leggings. Leggings are meant to be tight and fitted to the body but what if you have too much body? Some things just appear to be disgusting. Some overweight people rather dress to be revealing rather than appropiate. Some things that are initially made for an average weight person wear will take away from the fashion sense when it is made to fit an overweight person. There is nothing at all wrong with being confident and loving your body but when it comes down to things such as fashion, there should be a limit. Another example is short pants. Short pants, of course, are not made to be lengthy at all. But when are shorts too short? Even average weight people can some times wear short that are too revealing but what about the things that others don't want to see. Such as loose fat swinging when someone over weight struts around in them? Shorts should be made lengthier for plus size women just being considerate of themselves but especially others. Dresses should not be made where it reveals too much fat and are too short. As long as these clothes are being made the more plus size people buy them thinking that it's okay to rock these clothes; which can be a disgrace to their own body. Some fashion should be limited with it comes down to over weight people. In reference of this blog, I am not discriminating against any sizes this blog is completely opinionated. Thanks for reading!!!

Designer VS. Average Fashion; What's Really Better?

Does a Logo with the name "Gucci" on a wallet make it more qualified than a basic wallet from Family Dollar or K-mart? Does the "Gucci Wallet" make the money that you obviously wasted buying it with reappear inside of it? The answer...is...no! Does buying a nice-looking wallet out of Family Dollar meets it's purpose AND save you money to keep in it?...Yes!! Does a pair of shoes with a nike logo eliminate the pain and discomfort of walking long distances? Do the shoes make you eager to walk to class or motivate you to go for a run when you need to lose some weight? Does a Baby Phat watch with diamonds sorrounding the time speed time up when you're bored some place you rather not be? Or does it freeze time when you get stopped by a police for speeding so that you can relocate and forget that it happend? My point exactly, designer fashion does not make that fashion piece any more qualified than the average fashion piece. Spending more money is also wasting more money especially if you are trying to keep up with the Joneses. I can go out a buy a beautiful purse that isn't name brand like on my left and spend less money but also take pride in it! Keep it clean neat and organized and take care of it. It will keep it's value. Or I can buy a 250$ prada purse like the one to my right and sit there looking at it just like you are, wondering how it can better my life because I just wasted about 210$.
