Ladies T Shirt Apparel and the Dead Wrong Way to Wear Them

I have listed the top ten ladies T violations that I have personally observed; and honestly have been in violation of myself in the past. We are all guilty of breaking some fashion rules from time to time, so if you think you are alone, your not. Sometimes we just don't know any better and other times we pray that we don't see anyone we know and make a mad dash to our destination only to see the very person we did not want to see. Or we see someone we wish we could get to know, but now we can't even get a second look because we look a Hot Mess in our Tee!

Therefore,

1. Do not under any circumstances allow excess mid drift to be visible while rocking tees. If we have love handles, we must only purchase t shirt apparel that completely covers them. When I am personally feeling bloated in that area, I wear a good girdle and this helps a lot to hide my bulges.

2. Also, never allow excess tummies to peak out of our T's. The same above advice to overcome this applies here. I also suck my belly in all day everyday. I may be perpetrating a six pack for now, but this really works to actually flatten your stomach.

3. Be sure that your T shirt sleeves are not squeeeeeezing the life out of your arms. If the tee is too small give it away. Just let it go.

4. Ladies, just as too little does not work, neither is it sexy to wear oversized tees in public. Arms drowning in sleeves and slumpy necklines do not work for us. Now feel free to lounge in the privacy of your home wearing your man' tee, but just keep that between the two of you.

5. Colorful and patterned bras are pretty, but not if they are clearly visible through your white tee. That's simply not cute.

6. For those who tie the tees, the front knot tie is over. It may come back, but it's gone for now. I've seen some who can still get away with tying them in the back though, as long as the tee is not tied too tight.

7. Spaghetti strap tees are some of our favorites, but a red tee showing green bra straps or any like combination of off colors should be avoided at all costs.

8. Also, spaghetti strap T's deserve the best; Clean shaven underarms coated with clear deodorant.

9. Wrinkle Free T's only. Steaming them works best, but an iron will work.

10. Last, but certainly not least. Everyone loves unique apparel shirts, especially the one's with crafty slogans. When wearing one, ask yourself, "Is this saying truly representing me, what I stand for, what I believe in?"

One time I saw this girl at a baseball game wearing a white tee with a big red kiss and big red letters that said, "Kiss This" and it had an arrow pointing in a very foul direction. I almost gagged on my hot dog and thought to myself, "Now she lacks DigniTee"!

History of Silk Knots and the Silk Knot Cufflink

Silk knot cufflinks are a relative latecomer to the history of shirt sleeve fasteners. The earliest fasteners were pins and draw strings. Buttons emerged first as a purely ornamental device, but by the 1300s were being used to fasten garments in Europe, the idea being brought by returning crusaders. Cufflinks came next in the 1600s, but only became significant in the 1840s upon the growth in popularity of the French cuffed shirt. Cufflinks popularity soared as the stamping process made them more affordable than the highly bejeweled early models. 

But the popularity of the French Cuffed  shirt created somewhat of a dilemma for mid-1800s tailors. To properly display the shirt, the sleeves needed to be held together. But the hand-made highly ornamental cufflinks of the time were too expensive to place on every pair of sleeves in their store. Further these hard cufflinks distracted attention from the finery of the shirt the tailor was trying to showcase. The solution was a single stitch to hold the shirt sleeves together. This eventually gave was to single loop of thread, and finally the silk knot.
 
The silk knot is essentially two monkey's fist knots, tied around a bead to give it shape and thickness. This simple design allowed the tailor to create a clean fastener that is in keeping with the fine construction of a shirt but does not distract. 
 
In the early 1900s as the excessive ornamentation of the past began to be regarded as gauche, the silk knot began to appear on the streets as a simple elegant alternative to the hard cufflink. Variants such as the silk barrel cufflink began to appear and the silk knot cufflink became cemented in men's fashions.
 
Today's silk knot cufflink is largely similar to those of the last century.  Although today silk is rarely used due to it's lack of elasticity and today many cheaper silk knots are no longer made by hand.

All About Celtic Engagement Rings

Among engagement rings, the Celtic engagement rings are the ones laced with so much meaning.

Publicly, a Celtic engagement ring declares the couple's promise to make a new life together and privately the design of Celtic engagement ring can contain many intimate elements meaningful to the couple's lives through the intricate metalwork, engravings or gemstones.

Many individuals are attracted to the Celtic engagement ring art due to its elaborately knotted designs where the knots do not have any beginning as well as no end.

The Celtic engagement ring gives meaning literal to the famous phrase "tie the knot" as the rings are representations of infinity as well as eternal love when crafted unto a Celtic engagement diamond.

Types of Celtic engagement rings:

1. The lover's knot. This consists of two interconnected symbols of infinity and is known to symbolize two people united as one.

Many Celtic wedding bands and rings incorporate the "lover's knot" in their pattern of design. The traditional Celtic design engagement rings usually illustrate the Heron and Creyr, on each side.

Animals, for the Celts were the gods' messengers. Every animal was associated to the earth's natural cycle. Creyr is their creator of "life" and the carrier of babes, as the stork is to the Americans.

2. The Celtic cross. Versions of the Celtic cross differ depending upon the legend, although a common version is founded on the efforts of the Celtic monks' to include Christianity to pagan beliefs.

The cross symbolizes God's eternal love, revealed through the sacrifice of Christ on the "cross".
Celtic crosses possess a circular sign, whereby the cross part of the "crucifix" is enclosed. The halo, as it called, is believed to represent of God's angelic quality thru His endless love for His people.

3. Celtic bands. These vary in intricacy and thickness. A simple Celtic band actually may craft a "metal knot" from thin gold strands, while elaborate Celtic designs are etched or engraved onto wider bands.

Celtic bands can include gemstones, specifically emeralds or diamonds inset unto the metal, although elevated settings are rare.

4. Claddagh rings. These are the most well known and popular Celtic ring types and are a sign of love and friendship.

Because every Celtic ring design possesses a distinct meaning, jewelers often will customize the engagement ring so to include the Celtic symbols and knots that you desire.

The preferences of particular knots hold special importance to the couple, like an heirloom design or family pattern or the designs can simply be matching aesthetic favorites.

Because the Celtic rings' intricacy a made to order engagement ring are more expensive compared to readily available rings, especially if it entails entirely unique knots and patterns.

Jewelers usually choose to create Celtic engagement rings from titanium metal lined with silver or gold. Traditionally, these rings are made from silver or gold only, however, due to their intricate designs and delicate nature of silver and gold, titanium is used today as the base for durability.

Purchase your Celtic engagement ring early

When shopping for your Celtic engagement ring, it is significant to start looking as early as possible, so that if you can not find one that you desire, you can have one custom made which takes a longer time to do.

Furthermore, having your Celtic engagement ring properly sized as well as engraving with your names will take time.
Caring for your Celtic ring

Any engagement ring should be cared for meticulously, however Celtic engagement rings needs special handling and care to guarantee that they remain dazzling for years.

Before selecting a cleansing solution, evaluate first what type of metal is your ring and which choices are best for different types of metals as well as gemstones, because the solution that cleans easily one metal can mistakenly damage another.

Celtic engagement rings necessitate more frequent cleansing because of its design. Use a very soft "bristle brush" for keeping grime and dirt from building up in its tiny scrollwork pattern.

As highly symbolic and detailed rings, Celtic engagement rings are a great choice for couples to announce their engagement as well as the knots in the ring will linger on to be a tangible remembrance of how your love and lives are intertwined all through the years and for years to come.
