A Closer Look At: Jennifer Hudson

It's hard to find Jennifer Hudson dressed casually.  She seems to really like a good dress.  As she has slimmed her figure, she is wearing more form fitting ones, but even when she was a bit heavier, she rocked dresses.  One of her more relaxed, summer dress looks below is one of my favorites.  Happy Styling!

Style Rules NOT to Break

1. Sunglasses
Not just in summer months, but year round.  They are not just a fashion statement, they are protection from harmful sun rays.  I have learned to have several pair so I keep one in my bag, my car, my husband's car etc.  Then you never have the excuse of leaving them at home.

2. Mixing Navy and Black
While I do think it's OK to mix blues and blacks, I don't think a true dark, navy blue should not be mixed with back.  I am talking the kind of navy where it's hard to tell if it's black.  Once it's next to black, trust me, it will be very obvious and stand out like a sore thumb.  It just comes off  like you thought you were wearing all black...oops!

3.Baseball Caps on Women over 30
To me this is a college student kind of accessory.  It's not cute or "sporty" once you're ten years out of your college days.

4.Wearing Fashion You Cannot Afford
 If you're wearing clothes you had to go into debt to purchase, it won't look nearly as good.  There is plenty of affordable, stylish fashion out there.  There is no need to break the bank for an outfit or an accessory.  Besides, chances are you will have more pride and confidence if you stay within your budget, and that is sure to shine through when you step out in that wardrobe.

Happy Styling!
