STYLE YOUR SUCCESS, LIVE YOUR DREAM...


The FocusOnStyle Blog
Helping You + Your Business Get Out There!

Make it your business to live your dream…

 

I inadvertently started my blog during my infant son’s nap time back in 1999… before the term ‘blog’ was even popular.

Through it all, I believe…

Your style is your fingerprint in all that you do… it’s how you see the world + how the world perceives you.

 

The blog archives go back to the beginning and are updated regularly.  You’ll find 1,000’s of posts about modern business, branding, positioning, marketing, photos, fashion, style, beauty, lifestyle… and most importantly, how to do anything authentically. Enjoy!

Wear the trend: Sequins for day… How to carry off glamour and glitz before sunset

Wear the trend: Sequins for day… How to carry off glamour and glitz before sunset Where ever I look someone is pushing wearing shiny fabrics and sequins during the day. My best friend, and fashion coach says sequins are a really hot trend for any time of day, but for me, I feel like my clock is inside out. Is it appropriate to wear a sequin dress when it's still light out or should it be reserved for a big night out or special occasion? (Salt Lake City, UT) You've heard the expression, don't let your clothes wear you, well here you go… Yes, this season the glimmer of sequins and all that glitters and gleams is a 24-hour fashion

Fall fashion tips to stay on trend…

Fall Fashion - Wardrobe Tips to build a chic wardrobe with the latest fashions: Build a chic wardrobe with the latest fashions Dear Sharon: I follow your fashion advice and tips regularly, but never thought that I would write in. I've been looking at all the fashion magazines and it seems that last season's fall fashion has really changed. I bought a bunch of new things for fall last year, but I'm not sure that they will fit in to this year's fashion trends. I'm not terribly interested in looking trendy, I prefer to look more up-to-date and stylish. I bought a couple of bubble skirt dresses last year and some oversized sweaters that I'm afraid will now look dated.

Scratchy Clothing, sequin dress relief… Taking the ouch out of uncomfortable clothes

Scratchy Clothing, sequin dress relief... Taking the ouch out of uncomfortable clothesI recently purchased the most adorable dress for my high school reunion. The top eighth of the dress is decorated in sequin trim which gives it a bit of sparkle, without being overdone or matronly.However, the sequins really scratched up the underside of my upper arm just from trying it on in the store! Unfortunately, I didn't realize this had happened until AFTER I got home.Do you have any advice on how to prevent the sequin trim dress from scratching me? I really don't want to return the dress because it's so looks so flattering on me. (Lebanon, OH)Sweetheart, clothing is not supposed to injure us, no matter how

Diana Style…

The allure of the People's Princess Diana Style by Colin McDowell; Forward by Manolo Blahnik. Princess Diana's Style - her life as a fashion icon.A decade later: Diana's style evolution from frumpy to fashionable to fantastic! I cried when I heard Diana, Princess of Wales died. I don't really understand why. Even when photographed in one of those ghastly hat horrors that we have come to accept as de rigueur for British royalty there was always something so compelling, so visceral, so natural about the Princess of Wales that you absolutely could not resist taking your eyes off her. And when she did get the royal boot and or fell mercy to the public humiliation of her fair prince reportedly
