Is there nothing worse than having a wig that looks like the cat slept on it! Do you want to turn heads for the right reason?

A dead give away will be your wig and make up.

Today we talk with Monica about some of the mistakes that many T-Girls make when starting out. Get the look…make it classic, classy and make it yours.

How you behave is an integral and important part of being stylish ahead of your clothing, makeup and jewelery. This is your etiquette and manners.

Perhaps the most important ‘manners’ are those for which there are set of simple time honoured rules.

Our habits and mannerisms in daily living (the most automatic things we do) define us as refined individuals, sensitive to the rights of others; or as thoughtless, ignorant and rude.

As in life, it is often the small things which make the biggest impact on how people perceive and experience you.

Sometimes we take it for granted that everyone is taught these simple rules when growing up. It never ceases to amaze me how many people don’t follow them. Consequently they seem ignorant and rude, despite the fact that they may look fabulous.

We often think that being stylish is all about what we wear, but it is just as much in how we act and treat other people. We all warm to people who show us genuine kindness and respect, and tend to avoid those who don’t.

One way to continue on your path to femininity successfully is to dress for your body shape. Dressing for your body shape allows you to look great, feel great, and understand your body. Understanding your body is the best way to dress your best and look your best, especially when shopping. So many t-girls get stuck buying the wrong things when shopping, just because it looks good on the hanger, doesn’t mean it looks good on you!

The first step is to find out exactly what body shape you have. There are four common body shapes, pear, apple, hourglass and rectangle. Many t-girls are rectangles, however because of hormonal therapy; t-girls come in every shape and size, so it’s important to know which category you fit in.

If you are a pear your upper body is smaller than your lower body. When pears gain weight, they gain it in their hips and thighs. Pears look great in fitted tops in lots of patterns and colors paired with solid colored bottoms, to make those hips and legs slimmer. They also look great in a-line and flared skirts. When wearing jeans, dark denim it is best and always accessories your neck and ears to bring attention to the top portion of your body.

Apples have upper bodies that are larger than the lower, and unfortunately, when they gain weight it goes directly to their tummies! When it comes to jeans flat fronts and pockets help you look curvier, and a-line skirts that are short also flatter this shape. As far as tops, keep it simple with less patterns and don’t forget the right bra is the most important part of flattering this shape.

Okay…if you are one of the lucky t-girls that have a curvy hourglass figure, that’s great for you. This means your hips and shoulders are proportioned and you can wear patterns galore. But remember, you look the best in V-necks and stretch denim. Also, because of your small waist, be wary of jeans that gap in the back. And remember, don’t hide your body, baggy clothes are not flattering to your shape.

If you have a rectangle figure, like most t-girls then you have amazing legs. Show them off by wearing low rise jeans. Because your figure is straight up and down, you shouldn’t wear anything with vertical patterns, because you’ll look thinner. Wear scoop neck or v-neck tops to give you a curvier silhouettes. Other than that, have fun with colors and patterns.

What shape are you and what challenges have you had with your figure?

There are so many different brands, styles, types, and colors of underwear to choose from, that’s it’s hard to decide which ones to wear; especially if comfort and taste are important to you. Here’s how you can make sure you make the right decision when it comes to choosing underwear for a special occasion or everyday use.

The Thong
The thong is perfect for women who want to wear tight fitting clothing or clingy fabrics while avoiding visible panty lines. Many thongs can be uncomfortable, so it’s smart to choose a pair that is molded and not sewn for a smooth fit. Also, remember that a thong disappears from the back but can easily be seen from the front, so be sure to wear a pair that doesn’t have lots of print, especially if you are wearing light colored clothing.

Full Cut Briefs
These comfortable companions are perfect to help you shape your tummy while fitting great under loose fitting dresses and skirts. The are a favorite by women because they provide full coverage and support; however they don’t have to be granny panties! There are many styles that are flattering yet functional.

The T-Shirt Bra
The t-shirt bra is perfect for t-shirts. They provide a smooth finish, full support and comfort even underneath the tightest of t-shirts. Many call this bra the “everyday bra” because it’s so comfortable making it ideal for 9 to 5 jobs.

The Convertible Bra
The convertible bra is a girl’s best friend because it can change from a hater to strapless in a few clicks and can support various styles in your wardrobe. Every t-girl should own a convertible bra to ensure that those visible bra lines and straps stay at bay.

What underwear issues have you had that you’ve always wanted a solution too? Do you have any embarrassing underwear stories that you’d like to share?

Look forward to your comments!

Dear Julie,
I am looking for a new wig until my hair grows out. I want to find something that is natural and fits my facial structure. How do I know what my face shape is?
-Hugs and Kisses, Monica

Great question Monica! When choosing the right wig, knowing your face shape is the single most important deciding factor. To determine your face shape stand in the mirror and pull all hair away from your face. Trace the outline of your face in the mirror (use a bar of soap for easy clean up) and then compare your face shape to the following illustrations:

Now when you go shopping for wigs, you know exactly what to tell the sales person or your consultant!
