ATTENTION COMFORT MAY LEAD TO A DOWNWARD FASHION SPIRAL!

FIGHT THE FRUMP PEOPLE!!!!!!

Ok, so the thing is I like clothes. There I said it. I am addicted to cute clothes and shoes. Now I am not knocking anyone who loves there comfy sweats, I mean I have been know to wear them too. I am just saying that if you make a habit of it well you know what happens. Pretty soon you will be going to the grocery store in your pajamas. (Editors note: If you have done this, please don't do it again.) I have lots of friends who like to just wear whatever’s comfortable. You know what, that’s just fine, but keep it in check.


So here are a few of Valarie's thoughts on fashion:


You may not realize it but you can be just as comfortable in a cute pair of jeans, some cute heels, and cute little top. Now I don't want to hear the following: "Valarie I can't wear those heels like you do, why I'd break my neck." People give me break. You don't have to wear 3" heels all the time; as a matter of fact I have on flats today. Cute little ballerina flats. (Editors Note: I am short, I have to wear heels with most of my outfits, or the pants drag the ground. I know I could get them hemmed, but the heels look better and make your legs look longer.)

Also, have you heard of a guy named "Clarence" AKA "Clearance"? If you keep looking he has some good things. When going to see "Clarence" be very careful. He may try to lure you into some thing horrid just because its $3.00. Don't let this happen!!! If you are strong and hold out you will find some good deals. Go for classics.

Remember how old you are. I do have a slight problem in this area. I have two teenage daughters, and with all their clothes around sometimes the lines get mixed. Now I don't wear anything that is teeny bopper, I mean I am not that crazy. There are the occasional times that I put on something and look in the mirror and say to myself, what were you thinking and then I go and cry on the bed because I have no clothes, because I have bought everything for two teenage daughters. Oh my I am so sorry about the little emotional melt down I just had. Let’s go on shall we. :)

I suggest watching "What no to Wear." I think it should become part of your Friday schedule. I just love, love, love Stacy and Clinton.

(Editors Note: I will not be mad at any of you if you want to secretly film me and send it into them. Also if you want me to film you just let me know ;-))

Remember we are not all made the same way!!! God made us all very different. Dress your body, not Cindy Crawford’s. If you wear clothes for your body type you will look and feel good. If you have some jiggly spots and hail damage like me, it will be ok. You don't have to wear big ole’ clothes to cover that up though, but please, please , please don't wear skin tight clothes either. Find clothes that fit, I don't care that you don't like the number on the tag. If it fits properly you will look awesome.

Now go out and look fabulous, and remember PJ’s and grocery stores do not mix.
