Keep classy, hide those straps!


I'll be the first to admit that I have made (and continue) to make some fashion faux pas.
But there are a couple of BIG no-no's I live by - one being to wear the appropriate bra with tank tops and halter shirts; another is dressing properly for the occasion.
I saw both of these rules broken this past week ... and by the same woman.
During intermission for Cirque Eloize Nebbia at the Lutcher Theater Wednesday, I spotted a woman coming out of a bathroom stall in blue jeans, a halter top and BIG, black bra straps.
I think everyone should be comfortable and sport their own style, but club dress is not appropriate for the theater.
If heading out for a night of culture, throw on a pair of dress pants or a skirt and your favorite top. For extra comfort, spice up a comfortable dress with a Pashmina and a cute pair of flats.
S&M Family Outlet on Dowlen Road is currently selling Pashminas for $5.99, so you have no excuse not to look fabulous on a budget.
As for the bra issue, pick up a racerback and strapless bra for the summer.
You are bound to show off your arms and back enough this summer to justify the investment. Remember, you want people to notice your sleek arms or sculpted back, not your FRAYING bra strap!
Target has a variety of hot racerback bras starting at $14.99; Victoria's Secret has a large selection of strapless bras starting at $20. But for one-stop support, pick up Victoria's Secret's 100 Multi-Way bra for $50. You can position the flesh-colored straps any way you like for the perfect look.
