Singlelista Style: Fundamentally Speaking


Guess what ladies? It's the first Saturday in August, and you know what that means?!

Today we kick-off our new Saturday series, Singlelista Style, where we give you all the info you need to turn heads everywhere you go.  The world is your runway ladies, so be sure to give your fans (and your critics!) all the fabulousness they're dying for!


To help you turn your sidewalk into a catwalk, we sought the  expertise of New York fashion stylist Mia Tucker.  Mia's fashion sensibilities never disappoint and we're so glad that she's decided to share some of the style cues she gives her clients in the magazine and fashion industry to the singlelistas here at The Singles' Salon!  


So, the next time you see your ex and he asks you how you're doing, tell him "I'm doing great. In fact, you know I  have my own personal stylist now!"  

We promised you that you'd always be V.I.P. here at the Salon.  No wristbands necessary ladies, it's just one of the perks of the fab and free life we live!


Today, Mia is starting us with the basics and giving us the 5 Must Haves for Singlelista Style!  Check your closets as you read along, and whatever you don't already have should immediately move to the top of your grocery list (Yes, I meant grocery. Singlelista rule #4327, choose fashion over food- ALWAYS!).


Alright ladies, let's get this fashion show on the road!


5 MUST HAVE’S FOR  SINGLELISTA STYLE!


1. A HAUTE PAIR OF JEANS


Fab fitting jeans are a must-have because of their versatility- they look great paired with a dainty blouse or a casual t-shirt, depending on the occasion. I recommend styles with at least 2% elastane for the best possible fit. What I love about this pair is that they have an 8” rise which will keep all your “goods” covered as you take a seat or bend over. Thanks Habitual!

2. A STATEMENT NECKLACE


A seamless way to make a powerful statement is by choosing the right accessories. A statement necklace can transform a simple blouse (or t-shirt) into something ultra fabulous! This brass fringe necklace has a luxurious feel at a price that you just can’t pass up!

3. A GO 2 BLOUSE

Every pretty girl needs a pretty blouse that will look fab over denim, a pair of leggings or a short, short skirt. This blouse by Karen Zambos Vintage Couture is a must have shade of orange because it will easily transition your wardrobe from summer into fall. Try wearing it with a skinny belt now or layering it over a long sleeve tee once fall arrives!
