Dear Snapshot Fashion...

This morning I received a comment from a very stylish blogger, Diya.

She asked:
I've been looking for a simple, thin black and white striped form-fitting long sleeve top and you'll think they're everywhere but I can't find one! Can you help?

So I took it upon myself to help out a fellow fashionista. This request didn't sound too difficult because I swear I see these tops everywhere. But, to my surprise this was the hardest thing to come by! Maybe a few months ago before the spring clothing was put out it might have been a bit more common to find. Now Diya, if you change your mind and are fine with short sleeves, cardigans, 3/4 sleeves, or different colors...let me know. Because I came across a TON of those.

Can you believe I found ONE top? ONE! O-N-E!!!!!! And technically it isn't even really a top...but a bodysuit. Personally, I love bodysuits. I tend to wear my tops tucked in most of the time, and wearing a bodysuit just keeps everything neatly in place.

This Printed Cotton Spandex Jersey Double U-Neck Long Sleeve Bodysuit from American Apparel will do the trick for you! And as an added bonus, the back of this is AMAZING! Don't you think? For $36 this bodysuit is a must have. No matter if you wear it with jeans, black pants, or a mini skirt...you'll always look fabulous in it.

Diya, I really hope this helped a little!!!

Dear Snapshot Fashion,

I have recently ventured into the world of online dating....and much to my surprise I am actually going to have dinner with someone i met!!!
WHAT DO I WEAR?!
I'm trying not to panic - I really did not expect to actually have any success with this and now I am stuck in-between paychecks (meaning I have no spending money to buy a new outfit) basically set myself up on a blind date and the guy is cute enough that I do actually want to show up and make a good impression. Scratch that. I want to make a GREAT first impression. So I must admit that it has been a very long time since I have been on any kind of formal date. This, of course, only adds to my panic. I don't know whether to wear jeans or a skirt....heels or flats...hair up, hair down.....my questions are endless...
I'm so nervous as it is....I'd like to at the very least to walk in that restaurant looking great so that even if we don't click, he can at least tell his friends i was cute.
Help me Snapshot Fashion! You're my only hope!

Signed,

Dear Scared of Spinsterhood-

Wow, where do I begin?!?! First let me wish you luck on your date. Secondly, let me say this...CALM DOWN! Snapshot Fashion to the rescue!!! We are going to go over some basic dressing to impress guidelines and show you some outfits and items that you might already have in your closet that would look great for such an occasion.

I always say that it is better to dress up than be underdressed. Personally, I feel that first dates are rather casual. But I am in NO WAY saying you show up wearing sneakers and a ponytail. Jeans are always a great item to wear...but please make sure they fit you well (not baggy or too tight...and NO MUFFIN TOPS PLEASE!). Pair them with a cute top, cardigan, or blazer. I think if you wear jeans you should wear heels with them.However, if you are rather tall you can get away with ballet flats.

If you feel like showing some leg dresses and skirts are always a great option. But remember this is a date...not the office. So just make sure it is something cute and fun...and please keep it classy.

Dear Snapshot Fashion,
I have these boots in brown and I LOVE them...but I always feel like I have nothing to wear with them. I don't have skinny jeans, I hate the way I look in skinny jeans, I don't ever plan on getting skinny jeans, so they are not an option for me. I am a bootcut/boyfriend/wideleg jean girl through and through but alas, does not allow me to show off these boots.
I love skirts though...but it's winter and I feel like brown leggings are too blah....black leggings? I dont know. Help me!

Dear Skinny Jean Hater,
First of all let me start out buy saying that you really should not fear the skinny jean! So many people have such misconceptions of these jeans...thinking that they have to be a size zero to wear them...SO WRONG! Maybe you tried on a brand that just wasn't flattering. I really do suggest going on a skinny jean shopping spree. But, if you are still totally against skinny jeans then skirts are a GREAT option to wear with these boots. I have some similar boots and I wear mine with skirts all the time.

I suggest wearing them with mini skirts. You don't want to wear them with skirts that are too long else you'll look frumpy. If you have a cute denim mini skirt that would be a great option to pair with these boots.

Yes it is cold outside...but that doesn't mean you pack away your skirts for the season. Leggings are a good option if you want to stay warm. Also, thick knit tights will keep your legs extra warm throughout winter. And don't worry about matching your legwear to your shoes. I suggest trying out some colors!

I have put together some looks that I feel would look great with your boots. I hope this helps you get a better grasp on how to wear them!
