Best shoes with arch support – comfortable walking shoes to walk in all day!
Women love shoes. However, it gets more important as you get older that your shoes don’t just look good, but that they also feel great on your feet. That’s why you may need to think about choosing arch support shoes.
Unfortunately, for many of us over 40 it gets harder to wear uncomfortable shoes as we age and we do need shoes with arch support. so, if you are looking for the best shoes with arch support, you’ve definitely come to the right place. This article features my own favorite recommendations and those of 40+ Style readers.
SHOES WITH ARCH SUPPORT
In this updated extensive article based on my experience and your own comments and experiences, I will highlight the best arch support shoes and brands.
I also share a comprehensive list of brands that offer shoes with arch support and share some of my favorites with you.
BEST ARCH SUPPORT SHOES
We are always updating this article so if you have a great experience with shoes that offer great support, be sure to add your comments to this article so it becomes the definitive resource on arch support shoes! (more than 100 comments and recommendations already).
Let’s help everyone to be comfortable AND stylish. There’s definitely no reason that the two have to be mutually exclusive!
I know that many women over 40 suffer from foot problems like plantar fasciitis that require shoes with more arch support.
It’s one of the unfortunate annoyances that often come with aging.
Wearing shoes with arch support may actually be a good preemptive step, as it is estimated that over 80% of the population will end up with foot problems, which are largely due to poor footwear.
Beth (above) shows how stylish a pair of comfortable shoes can be by teaming her Rollie flats with a classic jeans and shirt outfit.
Complete her look with this similar oversized shirt and jeans.
WHY IS ARCH SUPPORT IMPORTANT?
A shoe with good arch support reduces muscle strain and helps you to maintain balance. In effect, arch support equals shock absorption.
It can also reduce the risk of plantar fasciitis, which is a painful inflammatory process of the plantar fascia, the connective tissue on the sole (bottom surface) of the foot.
This is often caused by overuse of the plantar fascia or arch tendon of the foot. It is a very common condition and can be difficult to treat if not looked after properly. Another common term for the affliction is “policeman’s heel”.
A good support shoe is rigid enough to support the arch, yet offers just enough flexibility to allow the foot to naturally flex.
COMFORTABLE SHOES WITH ARCH SUPPORT FOR spring and summer
As we are now approaching spring (at least for most of you) this page will now contain many of the best arch support shoes for the spring/summer 2021 season.
Read on for lots of stylish shoes, sneakers and sandals for spring and summer with good arch support, like the snake print low top sneakers (below).
Mel (above) wears a pair of Superga metallic sneakers. Here is a similar pair from the brand.
Check out this dress from Adelyn Rae to complete her look.
Aetrex Blake Leather Low Top Sneaker
Plus, you may like to take a look at the Spring and Summer 2021 shoe trends for even more inspiration.
Don’t worry though, I haven’t forgotten comfy shoes for cooler weather. There are still plenty of boots to choose from if you read on.
WILL ARCH SUPPORT INSOLES OR ARCH SUPPORT INSERTS WORK TO PROVIDE THE NEEDED SUPPORT?
Another way to provide more arch support is to work with shoe insoles like these ones from Amazon (below).
These are very affordable and you may be able to use them with your existing shoes, even though high-quality orthopedic shoes are recommended.
Experiment with insoles to see if they fit in your current shoes and if they provide enough support before changing all your shoes!
Arch Supports Orthotics Inserts
CAN YOU WEAR ARCH SUPPORT SHOES AND STILL LOOK GREAT?
‘Sensible’ shoes do tend to be thought of as more boring and are slightly more aging.
However, more and more manufacturers are paying attention to this problem now and the shoes on this list all look good.
Shoe brands like ECCO , Fly London, Vionic and Söfft have started to create really nice shoes!
The key is to find shoes that are just slightly different, have a hip vibe to them and are just a bit funkier than the regular ‘sensible’ shoe.
Below you will find a list of recommended brands that offer comfortable shoes and shoes with arch support. My personal favorites are ECCO and Fly London.
They all combine comfort with style because I’m sure you don’t want one without the other!
Kimba (above) looks great in her wide-legged pants and gold sandals.
Check out this similar pair of sandals, printed shirt, pants and earrings.
FLATS WITH ARCH SUPPORT
Now, let’s take a look at some flat shoes with arch support, before moving on to heels.
Mo (above) looks stylish in her flat mules and double denim.
Steal her look with this similar par of mules, shirt, jeans, hoop earrings and sunglasses.
1. vionic pointed toe flat
Pointed toe flats are one of the shoe trends for spring and summer 2021, so you can be sure to be on-trend and comfy at the same time.
Vionic is often a good choice for arch support. The pointed toe loafers (below) feature a cushioned footbed with arch support.
Vionic Noah Pointy Toe Loafer
2. birdies flats
Leopard print is one of those perennial patterns that never date. Birdies usually brings out its Starling Flat in different colors each season.
Birdies The Starling Flat
3. ballet flats
If you prefer a rounded toe, a pair of ballet flats could be the way to go. They look great worn with skinny jeans, a blazer and t-shirt.
Born’s ballet flat below features arch support and comes in a choice of pastels or neutrals.
Børn Brin Ballet Flat
4. silver loafers
I love wearing silver shoes to elevate any outfit. Because metallics act as a neutral, they go with any outfit.
ECCO Soft 7 Loafer
5. BLACK WEdges
Wedge sneakers are particularly on trend right now, and are a great way to add a little extra height without wearing high heels.
27 Edit Delphie Wedge Slip-On Sneaker
6. gold flats
Rather than silver, you could always choose gold. The Naturalizer Maxwell Flat is designed with a cushioned footbed and flexible soles, and would look great worn with white during the summer months.
Naturalizer True Colors Maxwell Flat
7. ANIMAL PRINT SHOES
If you already have a pair of leopard print shoes in your closet, how about snakeprint? The L’Amour des Pieds mules (below) have a memory foam footbed, and the strap fastening means you can adjust the fit to suit your feet.
L’Amour des Pieds Baruk Mule
8. chain flats
Chains on shoes were another big trend on the spring and summer catwalks. The chain detailing on the Kurt Geiger mules (below) will add a modern element to existing outfits.

best arch support sandals
Of course, with the weather starting to warm up, you may be looking for sandals rather than closed toe shoes. Let’s take a look at some of the most supportive.
1. birkenstock
Birkenstock, with its instantly-recognizable contoured footbed is renowned for offering good arch support as the footbed is designed to mirror the shape of the foot.
Deborah (above) wears a pair of Birkenstock s and plays around with tonal pattern mixing with her outfit.
Complete her outfit with this similar top, pants, earrings and necklace.
Birkenstock Gizeh Flip Flop
2. Papilio
Papilo, which is a subsidiary of Birkenstock, is another option to look out for with a shaped footbed. The Papilo sandals (below) feature a heel cup for extra stability and come in a classic style that would go with most things in your spring and summer wardrobe.

3. ecco slide sandals

5. naot sandals
Naot is another go-to comfort brand option. You could add a little extra height with a wedge sandal like the Hero style (below).
Naot Hero Strappy Wedge Sandal
6. fly london sandal
I wear my Fly London wedges with pretty much everything. They look a little ‘chunky’ in style before you put them on, but when you wear them, they are comfortable, stylish and edgy. They remain on trend each year!
They come in all kinds of colors too and I know several women who have these shoes in multiple colors.
They manage to be timeless, but on-trend year after year. The Yala wedge is my style of choice. You will always find this style is available season after season.
I find these are a great shoe to transition from summer through to fall as you can wear with summer clothes or pieces for cooler weather.
Fly London ‘Yala’ perforated leather sandal
Below are a few examples of how I have worn my own Yala wedges. .
Below is another pair I love from Fly London, this time in bright red.
Fly London Yoma Wedge Sandal
7. reef sandals
If you want a pair of totally flat shoes for wearing on vacation, it can be tricky to find some with arch support.
The Reef sandals below feature bouncy cushioned soles as well as an on-trend asymmetrical strap.

8. Bettye Muller
For a pair of sandals that are dressy enough to take you from day-to-night, how about the Bettye Muller sandals (below), which are set on a cushioned, arch-supporting footbed.
Bettye Muller Brett Sandal
9. OTBT sandal
Platform styles are particularly on trend right now, and are great for adding some extra height without extra discomfort. The OTBT sandals (below) have spring back technology to prevent stresses and strains as you walk.
OTBT Springer Platform Sandal
10. Camper sandal
A dressier option for you, with a quirky heel that I’m sure will appeal if you have a trendy or an architectural style personality.
Camper Alright Round Heel Sandal
WOMEN’S DRESS SHOES WITH ARCH SUPPORT
If you are heading out to dinner, you have a formal occasion to attend (when you’re able to), or you just love wearing heels, then you may like to take a look below for dress shoes that will add height without discomfort.
Anita (above) shows how just a small heel can look very elegant.
Get her look with this similar pair of slingback pumps, long sleeve top and wide leg pants.
1. trotters black pump

If you want to mix dressy and casual, then the Vionic wedges (below) combine a bit of both. You could easily wear with a dress or with your jeans.
Vionic Jacey Wedge
3. padded mules
Padded styles are particularly on trend now in both shoes and handbags for spring and summer 2021. The heels, at 3-inches, (below) are as high as I would want to go, but they do feature arch support for extra comfort.
Jeffrey Campbell Mr Big Slide Sandal
4. silver heels
Silver should go with everything in your closet. The Naturalizer slides (below) have a small kitten heel, that is below 2 inches, and feature contour technology to hug your feet.
Naturalizer Tibby Slide Sandal

A splash of red always adds drama to any outfit. The Bettye Muller sandals (below) feature a chunky heel and on-trend twisted detailing on the uppers – as well as arch support, of course.

SHOES WITH GOOD ARCH SUPPORT FOR TRAVEL
If you are looking for comfortable shoes for travel, here are a few more options.
Many of the arch support shoes mentioned above will be great choices but if arch support is not your top priority here are a few more.
1. ROLLIE BROGUES
I really enjoy wearing these brogues from the brand Rollie. Although there is not a huge amount of arch support the soles are very soft and I have found these shoes very comfortable. They are ideal for travel as they are super lightweight.
Great for walking around the city. More shoes from Rollie here.
Rollie Derby Punch Flat
For more inspiration, read our article on what shoes to wear with different styles of pants.
2. SUPERGA SNEAKER
A good white sneaker never goes out of style and they are still very current.
The Superga ‘2750 Cotu’ sneaker has long been a favorite as very popular walking shoe that looks good with many outfits.
They don’t have built in arch support as such, but many travellers choose to add an arch support insole.

Could you live with a minimal wardrobe?
When you come to my house you will see a lot of empty space.
In fact I realised that I’m a bit of a minimalist when a new neighbour once came to my house and exclaimed: Wow, I’ve never been to a minimalist house before!
Mind you that house was spacious, so for someone that had always lived in smaller houses before, it was no wonder that there was so little furniture!
Still, my current living room only contains essentials like a few low cabinets, tables and chairs and does not have any display cabinets, book shelves or other decorative items. I control my clutter and can easily store away most items I own in cupboards of other rooms.
Minimal wardrobe?
However, I’m not so good with clothes.
One of the reasons for that, is that I currently have ample storage space so I was not forced to get rid of clothes. Add to that that I get very tempted by each season’s new trends and all the beautiful clothes and accessories in the shops, and clothing cupboards quickly fill up. So when it comes to clothes, I’m definitely not a minimalist.
Yet, it’s possible to live well with only a few clothes. Leo babauta, for example, is a known advocate for minimalism who sticks to a wardrobe of jeans or slacks with a T-shirt or polo shirt and sandals or Docs.
Another famous example was Steve Jobs who usually wore his ‘uniform’ look of jeans and Issey Miyake black turtle necks.
Although I admire these people for getting by with minimal wardrobes, I know that I could never be happy with so few clothes myself.
However, I do believe there are great benefits in getting a wardrobe that is versatile, yet is kept to a small size. One way to do that is through creating wardrobe capsules and editing your wardrobe after each season.
Building your minimal wardrobe with capsule wardrobes
The key to creating a wardrobe that is minimal, yet gives you lots of variety, is to work with capsule wardrobes.
What you are trying to do, is to buy clothes that you can all mix and match with each other, therefore giving you lots of variations with a minimum amount of clothes.
I gave you examples of wardrobe capsules earlier this year when I showed you my brights wardrobe capsule and Nola Johnson showed you a wardrobe capsule for work.
Later I added a whole series on my capsule wardrobe for winter.
In general you would want to create wardrobe capsules for work, leisure time, sport and special occasions.
Read our ultimate guide to creating a capsule wardrobe that works best for you.
How many pieces would you need for each capsule?
Now this is where it gets interesting of course. You don’t actually need very many items.
2 pants and 5 tops already give you 10 outfit combinations. Most of us would find that too basic though and need more variety.
What you will have to find out for yourself is how much you really need to make you happy and keep your closet in a manageable state.
You could start your journey by looking at:
some of the 10 wardrobe essentials recommended by style experts.
My checklist of wardrobe essentials as a start to build your wardrobe
As for me, I’m not ready to have a minimalist wardrobe yet.
I like variety and want to have lots of options for various moods and occasions.
But I DO want to edit my wardrobe since it’s getting too full. I want more visible space for my shoes, get rid of boring t-shirts that I never wear anyway and create an overall wardrobe that is more fun to shop in.
A wardrobe that contains only items I love and feel amazing in. I have already started giving you shoe storage ideas, but expect more articles on this topic coming up at 40+Style and let’s all do some wardrobe editing, organising and wardrobe shopping and look even better in the process!
(Don’t worry, I will still be sharing lots of fabulous fashion and shopping ideas as well!).
p.s. to get clear on your essentials you also need to get clear on your style personality. Find out your style personality here.

| Fitness clothes for women over 40 - some ideas
What to wear at fitness workouts? Here are some ideas for fitness clothes for women over 40!
I focus a lot on ‘regular’ clothing on 40+Style. However, for many of us, myself included, sport and fitness is an important part of their daily routine. Style shouldn’t step as soon as you enter the fitness room so today we will look at some great fitness clothes for women over 40.
With many of us making a New Year’s resolution to get fitter, healthier and stronger during 2019, it’s the perfect time to think about fitness clothing.
If you feel good about what you’re wearing before you hit the gym, take to the courts, hop on your bike, go for a hike, or whatever your exercise of choice is, you’re much more likely to feel motivated once you start your workout.
What is important in fitness clothes?
Here is what I personally find important in fitness clothes.
1. Fitness clothes need to be comfortable
This is very important as these clothes have a clear function. It’s hard to focus on your workout or yoga session when your clothes are too tight. I personally find that many inbuilt bras are too tight and stop me from being comfortable. For that reason, I often choose tops with inbuilt bras 1 or 2 sizes up. They still give enough support but not are not so tight that they prevent me from breathing properly.
2. Light fabrics that are specially created for sports are often better
Although I dislike synthetic fabrics, fabrics especially created for sports often perform better than cotton. They do a better job at keeping you cool.
3. Choose tops that match your climate
As I live in Singapore, I have very open tops. In colder climates, I would choose more coverage.
For my tennis clothes I now always use covered tops during the day to protect me from the sun, while I choose open tops for the evening.
I don’t need a coverup here, but would definitely have one in a cooler climate. Make sure that you have one or two that match your outfits.
4. Mix and match as much with fitness clothes as your other clothes
Although I sometimes buy ‘sets’. I find it a lot more fun to buy tops and bottoms that I can mix and match with each other. Even if I do buy a set, I will often wear the top or bottom with something else.
If you’re just starting out, or getting back into, your fitness journey, you could always start by buying two or three full outfits. Then you will be able to create different combinations.
5. Pay special attention to your underwear!
Hugely important! If you wear pants in stretchy fabrics you can clearly see the outline of your panties. Choose superthin seamless underpants that are invisible. Although you can wear g-strings too, they often create very defined buttocks and I personally don’t like the look of that.
6. Make sure your pants are not sheer!
Leggings can be quite sheer and in clear light you can see everything. Be sure to choose a fabric that is not sheer to avoid this.
7. Think about the type of workout you’ll be doing.
You will need, for example, tightly-fitting clothes if you are doing yoga, so that your top doesn’t ride up while doing the downward dog! But, you will have greater flexibility in what you wear if you are heading for a run or a brisk walk.
8. Durability
You may wish to spend more than you would on a pair of leggings for your workouts as your fitness clothing needs to retain its shape and have durability. You will be putting it through its paces as you bend, stretch or run, and you’ll also be washing it after every workout.
You can opt for a looser style in pants or a choose a leggings style. In the past, I personally always opted for wider options until I recently embraced close fitted leggings. Now I prefer the look of those and they are super practical for both yoga and fitness classes.
I like my neutrals just as much as brighter colors. If you normally don’t choose a bright color for your clothes, you may want to give it a go for your fitness class and have some fun with color!
I never really match my shoes to my outfits as may be clear from these photos. I’m actually due for a new pair of trainers as I tend to use these for everything, both fitness and tennis which is a bit silly.
Here are some of the sneakers I have my eye on. If you’re looking for sneakers for everyday casual wear rather than sportswear, you may also want to take a look at this piece on sneaker styles.
But I always make sure I feel good in the fitness clothes I wear and will mix and match as much as with my regular clothes. I suggest you do too!
Some of my favorite brands include Lululemon, Adidas and especially Stella McCartney for Adidas, although the latter is featured more with my tennis clothes and yoga clothes.
Here are some of the best pieces from Stella McCartney for Adidas. Stella can definitely be pricier than some workout options, but I think it’s a good investment as you feel great wearing her pieces. Plus, workout wear doesn’t go out of style in the same way as some everyday trends can.
Also, if you tend to head straight to a fitness class from work, or like to fit in running or tennis while on the go, you might want to invest in a bag especially for your fitness clothes, so you always have them with you. Here are some of my favorites.
Do you pay attention to your fitness clothes? What do you like to wear?

What is the secret to great style?
#1 I think Audrey had a great understanding of herself and who she was.
#2 She also understood some key concepts about dressing and proportions
Balance is the key word here.
#3 She kept things simple and created her signature style
Do you want help finding your style?
Have you defined or found your personal style yet?
| How to define style? - Style quotes and style icon Audrey Hepburn
How do you define STYLE?
“ Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn .” Gore Vidal
It’s hard to define exactly what style is. So in my attempt to define it and find out exactly what is meant by style, let’s have a look at how some of the most influential people in life and fashion have described it.
“ Create your own visual style… let it be unique for yourself and yet identifiable for others. ” Orson Welles
It is clear that style has a lot to do with confidence and knowing who you are.
“ Style” is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style .” John Fairchild
“ What is style? It is an effortless confidence in being yourself, it is a way of putting yourself together according to your mood and what you want to project. Personal style appears to come naturally for some, but for others it can take a while to find it! ” Diane van Furstenberg
And once you can find that confidence and your own unique personal style that works for you, it can be a magical thing.
“ Fashions fade, style is eternal. ” Yves Saint Laurent
“ Style is a magic wand, and turns everything to gold that it touches. ” Logan Pearsall Smith
Audrey Hepburn
One of the women that often tops the lists of most stylish women of the 20th century is Audrey Hepburn.
How to define style – style icon Audrey Hepburn | 40plusstyle.com
So what made Audrey Hepburn such a style icon?
One of the explanations given for Audrey’s unique and superb style is that she stuck to a style that worked for her body type and her temperament her whole life.
Her style was also timeless and defined by minimalism and elegance. She knew what worked for her and had a very strong point of view.
“ Style is the perfection of a point of view. ” Richard Eberhart
Here is an excellent clip that chronicles Audrey Hepburn’s style and her love of clothes. A quote from the clip:
“ The way she looks was just so much like the way she was. There was just no separation between the women and her clothes. “
Audrey kept her style and her beauty throughout her life. Here is a short clip of Audrey at 61.
What a wonderful woman she was. She certainly is one of my all time favorite style icons.
What is the secret to great style?
I think that there are a few key points.
#1 I think Audrey had a great understanding of herself and who she was.
She understood her style personality and how important it is to to dress in a way that made her feel happy, beautiful and confident.
Understanding who you are and what makes you feel happy is so important when it comes to style.
Getting clearer on who you are, your own body, your figure priorities, your style and accessory personality, your style preferences are all important in discovering your true unique style.
#2 She also understood some key concepts about dressing and proportions
Some tricks of the trade if you will.
Audrey may have received great mentoring from the designer that she often worked with, Hubert de Givenchy.
You may have learned these tricks and learnings from your mum.
But perhaps you never learned them?
These concepts are not widely discussed in magazines and blogs which focus more on fashion or someone’s own style personality. However, sometimes you may see outfits that just look so good and you wonder why. Some style bloggers or online personalities seem to always look sooooo good.
But in many cases it comes down to creating great balance within the outfit.
To create an outfit or a combination of accessories that fits the body well. That creates the right proportions. To achieve the golden ratio.
Balance is the key word here.
You want to create the right balance with your clothes and accessories that suits your body and your proportions.
And you do it both with clothes and accessories.
For example some tricks a pear shaped woman can use to balance out her body include:
Use scarves to create volume up top that will balance the natural volume of your hips.
Crossbody or low-slung bags will fall at your hips and make them look bigger. Instead, try hobos and shorter shoulder bags.
Nude shoes make your legs look longer, which slims out your hips.
Large bib necklaces and statement earrings add subtle volume to your top half, balancing your hips.
There are many more general tips for the pear shaped body type when it comes to clothing here.
#3 She kept things simple and created her signature style
Never one to overcomplicate things her style was simple and timeless. That’s why all her photos and looks still look good today.
Your style doesn’t have to be as simple or as minimalist, but it is a good idea to create a signature style.
Not only to create a clear look that others can recognise as you, but also to make dressing each day so much easier.
You know what you like and what works for you, so you never have to think too hard about what to wear and know what to look for in shops.
Do you want help finding your style?
My course 21 steps to a More Stylish You will let you discover your own unique style. In just 21 steps you will discover which clothes make you feel happy and how you can wear them.
Never feel insecure about your style ever again!

| How long do gel nails last
How long do gel nails last?
A while ago I spoke to you on how I tried out gel nails for the first time and listed all the advantages and disadvantages of gel nails. Below is what my first arty gel nails looked like shortly after application.
Now after a few months and still going strong with my second application of gel nails, I have a good idea how they really work and how easy / difficult it is to remove or maintain them.
Have a look at the gel nails above. They are now more than 5 weeks old and still going strong. No tears, no splits and no sign of the gel loosening at all. What is appearent of course, is the regrowth of my old nails. Still from a distance my nails look long and good and I still get daily pleasure of looking at the nail art. Considering that these nails traveled several countries, rummaged through suitcases and shopped in many shops, it’s amazing that none of them have broken yet or shown any sign of wear (apart from the visible regrowth of course).
Here is what they looked like at the 3.5 weeks point in Berlin.
Gel on your toe nails
There is also a big difference between the gel on my nails and my toes, with my toe nails showing significantly less outgrowth. These will easily last a month.
Removal of gel nails
As I was going to replace my gel nails with some new arty ones I went to the nail salon to get the gel removed. There it is not such a cumbersome process as they have special nail baths which they fill with acetone and I only had to hold my fingers in there for a few minutes. The remainder of the polish was removed by file.
As I got many comments that your nails weaken a lot from the gel, I made sure to test my nails and see how they felt. I did not notiice a huge dfference in strength at all, so I guess that your nails can cope after just one application. This may be different after multiple applications though and may be different for your nails.
Conclusion
My experiment with gel nails has been a huge success. I’m thrilled with how well they look even after a few weeks and how strong your nails become when the gel is on. I love the fact that they look good for multiple weeks and that they are super low maintenance.
Even though the initial expense is higher, you will need far fewer new applications so it works out quite economical. The added benefit is of course that you can opt for bright colors or arty nails without having to worry that they will chip quickly. Although I may give my nails a little vacation, I am certain I will use gel again!
I’m always curious about your experiences so feel free to share below!

How much should I weigh for my height and age?
Have you ever asked yourself ‘ How much should I weigh’?
Or, “ Do I weigh too much ‘?
How much should I weigh for my height and age?
You no longer need to be confused about this. Find out how much you should weigh and measure your BMI with our handy calculator below.
How much should I weigh?
Of course you could just look at yourself in the mirror and make your own judgement, but for health reasons it may be important to know what’s a normal weight and what weight is too high for your age.
Then, if you find out that you are too heavy for your height and age, you can do something about it.
The Body Mass Index Chart
The Body Mass Index or BMI is generally used to measure human body fat based on an individual’s weight and height. Body mass index is defined as the individual’s body weight divided by the square of his or her height.
The weight height Chart
The below graph shows what the normal weight would be (both in pounds and kilograms) for your height (both in centimeters and inches).
Just follow your height number to your current weight and see which box you end up in.
For your weight in pounds look at the top and for your weight in kilograms check the bottom of your chart.
I’m currently 60 kg and my height is 1.73 cm. I end up in the yellow area which means that my weight is in a normal range.
Measure your BMI
Although the chart above is useful to measure the correct weight for your height, it does not include your age which is important too.
For that we can use the Body Mass Index weight calculator. This will show you if you have the correct weight for your age.
Just enter your age, sex and height and you will automatically discover in which weight range you are.
Body mass index calculator
Check below the healthy weight ranges (BMI score) for women.
Women who want to achieve a healthy weight need to have a BMI of 18.5 – 24.9.
Is this information from the BMI calculator reliable?
In most cases, your BMI score will give you an easy and quick indicator of your “fatness” or “thinness”.
However, the results from the BMI test are not always accurate and should not be relied upon as an authority for medical diagnosis.
Some people tend to have a lot of muscles (which tend to weigh heavier) and for those people a completely wrong BMI range could result.
Your BMI score will, however, give you a good indicator and if you have any doubts or concerns, see your physician.
Check below the healthy weight ranges (BMI score) for men.
How important is a healthy weight?
A healthy body weight is not just about looking good, it is actually very important for your overall wellbeing.
Here are just a few reasons why making sure that you are not too heavy is important.
Being overweight puts you at risk of many chronic and potentially lethal diseases, like high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, stroke and gall bladder disease to name but a few.
It often causes you to move less which can lead to other issues (like sitting too much)
It often lowers you self esteem which can influence your mental health
Here are a few reasons why making sure you are not underweight is important
Being underweight is just as unhealthy and can lead to a number of health complications, some of them life-threatening.
It will lead to a lack energy which will influence all areas of your life negatively
It often lowers you self esteem which can influence your mental health
Have a look at some of the comments below, where myself and others give suggestions on how to help with this.
What to do if you are overweight under underweight?
If you are overweight or underweight, don’t panic. There is a lot you can do to rectify the situation.
You are are ultimately the one in control and with the right diet, exercize and coaching you too can achieve your ideal weight.
Here are a few pointers to get you started on achieving your ideal weight
Track your fitness and calories
One of the best tools to do this is a fitbit tracker. It will keep track of your steps and your heart rate and can also track your calories. You can create a plan for yourself to limit daily calories and do the required daily activity.
Fitbit tracker
If you want a fancier version that connects seamlessly with your Apple phone and health app, you can also consider the Apple Watch.

Educate yourself about nutrition and fitness
Here are a few books that I recommend:
Why we get fat and what to do about it. This is a meticulously researched book and will make a strong case that sugars are largely to blame for weight gain and diseases. You can read my full article on it at Why we get fat review.

How to dress a pear shaped body
Do you have a pear shaped body? In this article, updated for spring and summer, learn how to dress for your pear shaped body type and get a complete capsule for this body shape that you can shop online!
Why it’s important to dress for your pear shaped body type
In my article on how to determine body shapeI discuss several general body types.
Knowing which body type you have will help you choose more flattering outfits that will make you feel and look better.
Today, let’s see how to dress for your specific female body type – the pear shaped body.
I’ll be sharing my updated tips for the pear shaped body type, also called the triangle shaped body, with lots of tips on how to create the most flattering shapes for your body shape and ideas for clothes you can buy right now.
We also created a special capsule wardrobe for the pear body shape, which you can see at the end of this article.
What is a pear shaped body?
As a quick recap, you have a pear shaped body when:
Your hips are wider than your shoulders
Fat tends to accumulate on your thighs and sometimes the buttocks
You tend to have an elongated waist and the legs tend to be shorter in comparison to the rest of your body
You have a defined waist
Your aim when dressing your pear shaped body
The aim of dressing for your body type is to achieve a flattering look that accentuates your strengths.
As a pear shape, you may want to downplay your hips. In order to achieve that you will accentuate the shoulders, draw attention to your upper body and waist and elongate the legs.
Please note that these are general guidelines as every body is different. Perhaps you want to celebrate your hips fully and that’s totally fine too.
Always experiment with your unique shape and see what works for you.
How to dress for your pear body shape?
Pears tend to store their weight on their thighs and their legs may be heavy.
Often they have a very good upper body which is why you will see that much of the emphasis in dressing here is on the upper side of the body.
Is a pear shaped body the same as a spoon body shape?
While you are likely to be more familiar with the term “pear shape”, the pear shaped body is also sometimes referred to as a spoon shape.
Think about this shape as if the bowl of the spoon is where your hips are, with the handle being your torso. A spoon is also often used to describe a pear-shape with a little bit of a tummy.
Tips for dressing the pear shaped body in spring and summer
It can be easier to dress during winter and fall for any body shape, because you can use layers in a way you can’t during the warmer months.
However, there are still plenty of ways to dress the pear shape in a flattering way during spring and summer. Read on for lots of ideas as well as well as a capsule wardrobe created especially for the pear shape for spring and summer.

If your goal is to downplay your hips we have some recommendations for you on the best clothing for the pear body shape.
Further on, you’ll find some specific tops, coats, dresses, skirts, pants, shoes and accessories which will work for the pear shape.
But, first, here are some top tips.
1. Draw attention to your upper body
The idea is to detract from your bottom half and draw the attention to your slim, upper body.
Choose bright colors on your top half and darker shades on your bottom half. Choose a top which emphasizes your waist.
You could opt for a bright red top like the ruched top from Amazon(below).

2. Think about your neckline
Several types of neckline can work for you, but to create width across your shoulders to balance out your hips, look out for boat necks and Bardot styles.
You can see how the sweater from Boden(below) for example draws the attention upwards and creates width at the shoulders.

3. Accessories are your friend
To draw the eye up away from your hips and thighs, choose colorful scarves, statement necklaces and hats.
Cindy & Wendy silk scarf
4. Go for darker shades of denim
When choosing your jeans, opt for a dark wash as these will be most flattering. Choose bootcut rather than tapered.
Wit & Wisdom bootcut jeans
5. You will look fabulous in dresses
Pear shapes often look beautiful in a fit and flare style dress which nips in at your waist and then skims over your hips.

Now, let’s move onto some specific ideas for each individual item of clothing.
Tops for a pear shape capsule wardrobe
Since your hips are a lot wider than your shoulders you want to emphasize the shoulders and widen them. So it’s actually good for pears when shoulder pads are back in fashion! Puffy shoulders will work too and are on-trend right now. Always make sure that the shoulders are properly fitted.
To give the impression of longer legs and a shorter torso you can wear a few layered tops with one very short layer, like a short jacket. This will break up your elongated torso and give the illusion of longer legs.
Wear something catchy on top. Either a catchy color or some nice detail on your top. Breast pockets, big collars or a pattern are also good. Horizontal stripes help to widen your upper body to bring it more into balance with your hips as do (subtle) shoulder pads.
It’s best that your tops and jackets end either above or below the widest point of your hips and bottom
V-line tops will draw further attention to your upper half
Wider necks will also work, as will horizontal strips and tops with puffed sleeves.
But good necklines for you are also the boat neck and the Bardot style as these will make your shoulders look wider.
Wear a good bra.
Kylie(above) opts for a pink tie waist top which would be a flattering choice for the pear shape.
Get her look with this similar tie waist top, pantsand flats.

Best SWEATERS AND CARDIGANS for the pear shape
Even in spring and summer, you will still need some sweaters to keep you cozy on cool days. Colorful styles will work very well, as will stripes and boat or Bardot necklines.
Anything with a tie waist is also a good idea. Plus, you could take advantage of the current trend for voluminous sleeves and shoulders to create balance for your silhouette.

For more style inspiration on how to wear your pair of loafers, see our article on the best loafers for women over 40.

Best jackets and coats for the pear shape
Wear structured A-shaped coats of knee length. A great coat for you is the trench. Make sure you get one with lots of details on top (like lapels on shoulders) and that it is plain from the waist down.
Belted blazers are also a good option for the pear shape because they draw attention to the waist. Choose one in a vibrant or paler color to your bottom half.
You can also use a longer top and then add a shorter jacket to give the illusion that your legs are longer than they are.
Long cardigans and jackets that end well below the hip can work really well too
Look out for styles that give the illusion that your top half is wider, to add balance, or which accentuate your waist.
If you want to, you can also think about wearing a longer layer under a shorter jacket. For instance, if you wore a long darker layer under a short jacket, the attention would be on the point the jacket ends rather than your hips.
Anne(above) wears a denim jacket which adds width to her top half, while her skirt skims over her hips.
Check out this similar tee, denim jacket, skirt, sneakersand crossbody bag.
For more inspiration take a look at how to wear short jackets.
Veronica Beard denim jacket– BLANKNYC faux leather moto jacket– Shein open front sleeveless vest– Wantdo trench coat
Best pants and skirts for the pear body type
Here are a few tips and some examples of good pants for this body shape.
Wear trousers that are not too tight or light. Boot leg trousers are very good for pears.
Avoid pants that are too low on your hips. A higher rise is better.
You will look best if your trousers or skirt are the darkest part of your outfit.
Finding a pair of jeans for the pear shape can be tricky because of your lovely curves.
If you find a pair that fits at the hips and thighs, they can gape at the waist, and if you find a pair that fits at the waist, they can be too tight on the thighs.
It can be best to look for a pair of jeans specifically designed for a woman with curves so that they are tapered in from the hips to the waist.
The most flattering style for a pear shape is a dark wash, bootcut with a high waist.
Some of my favorite brands for jeans include:
NYDJ
Kut from the Kloth
Paige
Dahlia(above) wears a bootcut style which can be the perfect choice if you are a pear shape.
Recreate her outfit with this similar top, bootcut jeansand sandals.
Also take a look at the best fitting jeans for women over 40.
When choosing skirts, A-line skirts are a pear-shaped woman’s best friend.
When you wear a well-structured A-line skirt that emphasizes your waist, people will not even notice your wider hips.
Good brands for A-line skirts:
Eliza J
Ming Wang
Anthropologie
Wit & Wisdom bootcut jeans– AllSaints wide leg pants– Lyssé belted skirt– Kate Kasin flared midi skirt
Best dresses for pear shaped body
Women like Kim Kardashian like to emphasize their pear shape with form-fitting dresses and skirts, but most women prefer to downplay their hips and A-line dresses are perfect for doing that.
A-line dresses which fit and flare will always look good on you. Dresses with defined shoulders and a good a-line are particularly good.
Jona(above) wears a fit and flare dress with puff shoulders and accessorizes with a Gucci bag.
Check out these dresses from FLORET STUDIOS, WAYFand Allegra Kfor a similar look.
Two brands to look out for at Nordstrom for A-line and fit-and-flare dresses are Eliza Jand Gal Meets Glam Collection. Below are some of my current favorite dresses and also jumpsuits at Nordstrom.
Loveappella tie waist dress– Club Monaco flare dress– Fraiche by J shirtdress– Eliza J wide leg jumpsuit
Also, take a look at the best dresses for your body shape.
Best shoes and accessories for the pear shaped body
Use accessories to further emphasize the top part like necklaces and scarves.
Waist belts may look good on you as they emphasize your small waist.
High boots are very flattering for your legs
Be careful with high shoes or shoes with ankle straps as they will shorten your legs
Wear medium to chunky heels with a bit of height to further elongate the legs.
Avoid handbags that sit on the hips.
You may wish to avoid big bracelets as, when you have your arms by your sides, they will draw the eye to your hips.
Estrella(above) draws attention to her top half with the tie-up detail at her neckline and the volume on her sleeves. While her shoes do have an ankle strap, because they are similar in color to her skin tone, they don’t visually cut across her ankle.

General tips on how to dress for the pear shaped body
Let’s recap on some of the most flattering options for a pear shape:
Belted jackets and bootcut jeans are the perfect combination.
Put a lot of emphasis on your top part with colorful jackets, stripes and bold accessories.
The A-line skirt and dress is your best friend!
Put emphasis on the waist if you are a pear shape.
Create a column of color. A long vest worn over the top of this column. can make your hips disappear.
What not to wear?
You are always able to wear anything (as the celebrity examples of pear shaped women show above) but if your goal is to downplay your hips, you may want to avoid the following garments:
Skinny jeans (however these can be worn with some tunics, A-line long tops or long cardigans).
Pencil or straight skirts
Very short skirts
Tops with narrow shoulder lines
Pleats and pants with a lot of details
Shoes and booties with ankle straps, very delicate footwear and kitten heels

I am a slim pear or a teardrop shape and since doing the dressing your truth program I have learned what my type 2 style is and I also found that I don’t like wearing any trousers, Jean’s or shorts as they don’t make me feel feminine or womanly, I know only wear skirts and dresses and love my body and style.
Pennyon September 25, 2020 at 12:08 am
Love your posts. I am a pear shape body, I’m 78 years old. I am also very short waisted.
So drawing attention to my waist, just doesn’t work for me. I need suggestions for dresses especially. What do you suggest?

Hi Sylvia
I absolutely love the looks you put together in your capsule wardrobe examples. I am really in love with the striped summer dress in the pear summer capsule. Do you still have the sources for this wardrobe or even just the dress?
Thanks so much!
Jessica
Sylviaon August 6, 2020 at 3:38 pm
Glad you like the capsule! If the link is no longer mentioned it means the dress has sold out. All the sources from the capsule that are still available are listed in the article.
Afomiaon May 25, 2020 at 6:16 pm
Well its an excellent guide which any pear shaped woman must see
My only disappointement is about the aim mentioned .
I am a huge fan of my own shape and praise every inche of me so I do not dress to look more like a hourglass .I do not think that a good aim to start with.
Sylviaon May 26, 2020 at 3:14 pm
I agree and I’ve updated it. At 40+style we celebrate all body types in their full glory. I’m glad to read that you found the guide helpful.
Robinon May 13, 2020 at 10:18 pm
I love your tips. I am in the process of slowly refining my wardrobe so this is very timely.
I must say though that I was surprised to see kitten heels as a shoe to avoid for pear shaped women. It’s actually one of my favorite things to wear! Maybe because I can’t wear high heels. It’s a good option for me.
Sylviaon May 14, 2020 at 8:18 am
These are just general guidelines and don’t apply to all women as we are all different. If something works for you, use it!
Rita Smithon March 26, 2020 at 1:28 pm
Thank you again for these tips. So helpful and it makes you want to get dressed and meet a friend. I’ve asked my daughter to also sign up to your emails. She is so impressed. One question. I’m 70 but love to dress funky. Wear my hair shoulder length and curly messy!! Can I wear long earrings with a bulky necklace? I’m also wearing black frame glasses.
Sylviaon March 26, 2020 at 6:39 pm
So happy to hear that you like my style tips and your daughter too! You can wear whatever you want Rita. Multiple accessories may be too much for some women but if it fits your style personality and YOU feel good in them, then own it and wear it all with confidence. In the end, that’s the only thing that really counts.
Gladys Roman Rosarioon November 10, 2019 at 10:55 pm
Hello!!!
Loved your article and all the GREAT info & tips! I am 72, 5’2″ definitely a pear shape and struggling with what to wear for an All White office holiday party. Leaning on a pant suit but open to suggestions. Please help! Party is December 14th.
Thank you so much!
Gladys
Judyon October 13, 2019 at 6:33 am
Hi Sylvia, these tips are great. I am a pear shape with a high hip shelf so I just wanted to add that all these tips work for me except the a-line shape. Straight skirts are more flattering and pencil is pretty good as long as there is a slight flare at the hem. Also, dresses with the waistline starting above the natural waist and falling softly straight to just above the knee are very flattering. Great blog!
Regards, Judy
Stephanie Weisbart Bellinion July 22, 2019 at 12:43 am
Dear Sylvia,
It is very hot and humid there, but I followed your tips for my pear shaped body yesterday. I wore a simple pair of black shorts (appropriate length for my age!), a black and white tank top with stripes ( B and W is a good go-to combo when one is in a hurry!), a pair of black sandals like the ones you showcased, and something i would never have thought of to do before—an elongated black vest. I added a nice snake-skinned belt over the top (again, I would NEVER have thought to do this before!). It was such a simple outfit, but I felt like a million bucks in it. I am so glad I found your site. Thank -you so much!
Sylviaon July 22, 2019 at 4:18 pm
Thanks for your kind feedback Stephanie. Great to hear that my tips helped you!
Leslieon October 3, 2019 at 6:01 am
I have wide hips but thin thighs. When I find pants that fit in the hips the legs are too baggy except for a few brands. I am a short pear shape at 5′ 2″. I do prefer the boot cut style with a high rise. Thanks for the tips.
Rimpleon April 23, 2020 at 4:53 pm
Hi I have a pear shape body …I wanna to know …how can I dress my official black shirt with black pant?
Sylviaon April 24, 2020 at 11:54 am
The best thing is to make sure that it fits properly. If you can choose your own top and pant in that color, follow some of the guidelines in this article to get the best shape for your body type.
Sonarika sharmaon January 3, 2021 at 6:26 am
Can I wear pleated trousers ? Is it will look good on pear shaped body with short height!
Sylviaon January 3, 2021 at 7:26 am
Pleated trousers usually add a bit more bulk about the belly / hips area so you need to be more careful with them. Of course there is a big difference between all kinds of pleated pants (1 pleat, 2 pleat etc) and it also depends on the shape.
MaryAnn Baldezon August 25, 2018 at 5:38 am
This is a wonderful site! I’m so glad I found it! I wear mostly flats or low heel shoes because my husband is not very tall. I am a pear shape, 5’7″ about 150 lbs. I notice you suggest bootcut jeans which I feel look best with a higher heel…any suggestions for the best jeans for a pear shape that doesn’t wear heels?
Sylviaon August 28, 2018 at 2:12 am
These kind of jeans are still flattering on you if they fit well. Just make sure your tops are short enough so you can get a ratio of about 2/3 legs/ 1/3 top part.
Elkeon August 24, 2018 at 5:47 am
Thanks for the guide Sylvia, it’s much appreciated!
Merielon July 6, 2018 at 7:26 am
This is a lovely guide! I like that there are so many examples of outfits with accessories included. Oftentimes, style guides only include one or two styles. That’s great—if these examples suit one’s personal style. It doesn’t really help, though, when one is still searching for a style–something that resonates. I’m a veterinary technician and wear scrubs all day, which I love because having a uniform is a no-brainer when it comes to work. The problem: What to wear the rest of the time? I have also lost about 55 pounds and have had to get rid of almost all of my clothing. I am trying to be careful with what I get now as I try to rebuild a wardrobe. So thank you for all you do, helping out with style ideas and inspirations.
Murielon June 21, 2018 at 1:47 pm
Hi,
I am a pear shape with skinny, shapeless calves. I hate wearing dresses and skirts because I’m so self conscious. I do wear them because I have to. I hate wearing long dresses and skirts especially when it hot weather.
Any suggestions?
Sylviaon June 21, 2018 at 3:57 pm
Hi Muriel, Use the tips in the article above and make sure that you draw attention to your top half. So wear a brighter color or print at the top.
Melody Wilkinsonon May 23, 2018 at 11:49 pm
I am 44 and shaped like a pear. Is shorts a no no or what styles are good
Sylviaon May 25, 2018 at 5:46 pm
It really depends on what kind of pear you ar and your personal preferences. If you are happy and proud of your hips then wear those colorful shorts. If you prefer to downplay you my want to got for a tighter knee high option. I have many more tips on wearing shorts at https://40plusstyle.com/how-to-wear-shorts-that-fit-and-flatter-the-40-woman-of-any-shape/

Hi
I love High-boots. Are you sure?.Do high boots fit pear shape?
I heard high-boots fits for tall people.
Sylviaon May 5, 2018 at 9:44 am
Pears can wear high boots but in general they look better on pear shapes when your boots are in the same color as your pants.
clareon April 30, 2018 at 10:37 am
love this post. curious on your thoughts of ankle length or slightly cropped pants or cigarette pants for the pear shape. thanks!
Sylviaon April 30, 2018 at 11:01 am
Pears usually look better with longer pants but it also depends on your vertical body type https://40plusstyle.com/how-to-determine-your-vertical-body-shape/Silhouette plays a key role too. All of these topics are discussed in much more detail in my style course https://40plusstyleclub.com/21stepscourseAnother useful article is this one on wearing capris https://40plusstyle.com/how-to-wear-capris-and-cropped-pants/
Lynnon March 9, 2018 at 1:01 am
I love the outfits you put together for us pear shaped women but can you post some less expensive examples? I can’t afford to pay $400 for a dress – looking for something less than $100. Thank you!

Thank you for that idea. I will start looking for scarves to go with my tops.
Pat Connetton February 4, 2018 at 1:49 am
I would like to wear some v necked tops, but I am elderly and have a wattle and lined neck. Also, I cannot stand to wear turtlenecks, or mock turtlenecks. They are uncomfortable around my neck.
Sylviaon February 4, 2018 at 10:02 am
You can also use a scarf to create a similar effect. A colorful scarf will also bring the attention to your portrait area and draw the attention is which is always good 🙂
Liz Costaon January 27, 2018 at 11:09 pm
I have a classic pear shape 5’4″ with smaller shoulders and back but 34DDD bra. I wear a 10-12 on the bottom most of the time but usually an 8 on the top. I’ve read so much about how to dress myself and this article was very helpful. What I struggle with is actually finding the clothes that fit my body even when I know what I’m looking for. It feels like almost everything in stores is for a straight body type. I feel like I should have been born in a different era!
Sylviaon January 28, 2018 at 1:33 pm
Yes it can be tough, but the clothes are out there. Don’t give up.
Joyceon January 27, 2018 at 12:40 am
Being the owner of a pear shaped body, loved the tips and pics. I found the information you shared very helpful and will try to adhere and we shall see how it goes. Loved the outfits you chose

Sylvia, thank you for your posts! How about pear shaped body with bowed legs, shorter than normal legs knee down, skinny calves and generous hips and legs above the knee, also very thin straight hair. What tricks could you recommend? I am desperate…

Hi, I am in my 50’s and want some ideas about wearing cowboy boots with a skirt or dress. All i see in the fashion trends are the short minis that teenagers wear. What can I wear with my boots (I’m from Texas and we wear boots a lot!)
Sylviaon September 1, 2014 at 10:54 am
Hi Tonie, Cowboy boots look the best with a wide a-line skirt or dress. Knee height or longer. You will find that your options this season will increase as longer skirts are back in fashion!
Dr Sneh Thadanion May 30, 2014 at 1:41 pm
Hi. It was very nicely put content. But I am very confused if I am a pear as my upper body is not small.
I am 168 cm tall
Shoulder 32 inch
Bust 36 inch
Waist 30 inch
Hips 38 inches
Could you please advice me as to what shape I am as all sites either tell me I am a rectangle or spoon.
Regards
Sylviaon May 31, 2014 at 10:44 am
It looks to me that you are more a rectangle. However, please bear in mind that we are never just one shape. All of us are different and we may be a combination of several. Use the articles that apply to you as guidance and then start experimenting which clothes give you your desired silhouette. Good luck!
Jayon May 13, 2014 at 7:11 pm

Hi!
I know that pear shaped does not sound like the most beautiful comparison, but it is just easy to remember. (At least easier than explaining you have wide hips, a small chest and waist)
As I noticed myself how difficult it can be to dress a pear shape – I have one myself – I started to photograph my outfits and put them online. If you want some inspiration, check this site out:

carleeon February 2, 2014 at 12:59 pm
I think that water color picture up top is terrible, I mean comparing women’s entire bodies to shapes of fruit, is ridiuculous, apple!?! seriously what woman would want to look like an apple, or pear, or upon looking in the mirror thinks to themselves, “Hey Rectangle, looking sexy today. MMHHMMM”. I think these body shape names are another tool that women can use to compare themselves to others, leading to negative body image and low self confidence.
Sylviaon February 2, 2014 at 1:11 pm
Hi Carlee. I think that you are missing the point of what these names try to do. Of course they are in essence ridiculous and noone is a ‘pear’ or ‘rectangle’. They are just a simple way of describing shape. I don’t believe that they lead to negative body image. In fact I know that understanding body shape and knowing how to dress for it, can give women more confidence. They realise that they are not defined by their shapes and that clothes can emphasize those parts of their body that they like most about themselves. If you can look beyond the names, then understanding body type and looking how to enhance its best features can increase self-confidence.
K. Finnon January 10, 2014 at 10:34 pm
Just wondering…how big of a difference do you think kitten heels really make? Those tend to be my favorite since the high heels are not always the most comfortable. Thanks!
Sylviaon January 11, 2014 at 12:20 am
Not a huge difference K. By all means keep wearing the shoe that you love!
Bienveon November 25, 2013 at 10:38 am
Wow!!!! Thank you for the wealth of information. I am 47 yr old, 4 ft 9 inches, yes I know very short. I hate shopping and now I know why, it takes way too much thinking. According to your test I am a natural dominant style with sporty classic personality style. I have to say that pretty much “nailed me”. This is a pretty awesome website. It was an accidental findings but I look forward to visit it again. I am not sure where to begin. I am a Nurse Educator and I live in scrubs and don’t date much.

Sarahon November 1, 2013 at 6:07 pm
Hello
I’m over 40, I’m 5’1, UK size 8-10 on top and 10-12 on the bottom. I have swimmers’ shoulders but otherwise I’m a classic pear.
I find 1940s styles work really well on me. Neat jackets with well defined shoulders and waist, slightly puffed sleeves, a-line skirts and dresses, wide leg trousers, shoes with a small heel, and accessories around the face area (detachable collars, capelets etc). I collect vintage sewing patterns from the 40s.
Sylviaon November 1, 2013 at 6:29 pm
Great. Thanks for your tips Sarah!
Heather Fonsecaon October 11, 2013 at 1:59 am
I love these posts on body shape and your idea of doing new one’s to reflect the new fashionable shapes and styles. Personally I never know if I’m an hourglass or a pear but I see a lot of styles that would look good on me in the post, especially that short belted jacket. Love it! Wrap dresses and A-line skirts usually look good on me too. Love it and keep it up. I look forward to seeing hourglass shapes soon.
Greetje Kammingaon October 4, 2013 at 3:14 am
That is a clever idea Sylvia, to bring this post up to date and re-use it. There will be many women who have not found it yet. You kill two birds with one stone.
I await the “ruler” instructions haha.

It’s amazing how quickly fashion on these articles dates. It really needed a refresher, so yes expect more refreshing articles in the coming weeks.
Natalieon October 3, 2013 at 11:44 pm
Thank you for updating this, Sylvia!
As a short pear myself I’m always surprised when I see boot cut trousers on lists of items that should flatter my shape. On me, the fact that they usually narrow sharply at the knee and then flare out at the calf makes me feel like the shape of my hips and thighs are even more emphasized.
Sylviaon October 4, 2013 at 12:24 pm
I like the wider legs on pears. But it also depends on the trousers and the particular pear shape that you have. As you know, not all pears are the same. If the pants are too tight and then go wide, it sometimes is not so nice. Straight cut pants can work well as well. In the end there aren’t really any rules that fit all pears. You are your own best judge, so just look in the mirror and see if you like the silhouette you are creating with your clothes.

Great tips Sylvia. Thank you for sharing.
Many greetings Sabine

What i have noticed about pear shaped body is that I actually love the extreme contrast between the top and the bottom. Pear shape usually has a small upper body. I find it really beautiful if the upper is fitted (belted, body con, or peplum) and the bottom is flared (as in A line skirt flare).
It goes against the grain to want to emphasize the wider bottom half but I personally find it very feminine and alluring. I know a lot of guys find it alluring the see a heavy bottom swoosh and swing inside an A line skirt.
Sylviaon October 3, 2013 at 9:53 am
Yes, I like that look too. These tips are just guidelines for creating the best balance but they are by no means the only way to dress this body type. In the end you have to do what pleases you and create a silhouette you like!
Sistergirlon October 2, 2013 at 11:32 pm
Love the ideas, thanks.
aileenon October 2, 2013 at 9:38 pm
Before I found your website it was very difficult for me to dress my shape and feel happy with the result. Occasionally I got it right, but couldn’t figure out why, I just knew when things looked ‘right’. Now I understand my shape so I can dress myself with the knowledge of how to broaden my top half and camouflage the hip area.
I can wear skinny jeans as long as I have a top which comes down to well below the hip line, so anything with an A shape is brilliant and looks modern and stylish.
Thanks Sylvia, you made a huge difference to my shopping experience. It is so easy now I know what to look for in clothes.
Sylviaon October 3, 2013 at 9:50 am
Wow, that is great to hear Aileen. So happy I could help!

Chicatanyageon October 2, 2013 at 2:40 pm
I have a fairly classic pear shaped body. I find that wrap style dresses work well or anything with soft draped material and also trapeze style tops.
Sylviaon October 3, 2013 at 9:48 am
Yes, great tips!
Marlenaon November 1, 2012 at 4:22 pm
I looked over many sites on the subject of fashion over 40, and this is the best one! Lots of pictures, and information to compliment them! Thank You!
Sylviaon November 1, 2012 at 6:46 pm
Thanks Marlena for your find feedback.
JustAskKarenDon July 18, 2012 at 7:43 am
Hi Sylvia,
I, too, will be 47 in just a short couple weeks (5’2″, also) and it is so refreshing to find your post! I hope is NOT lost, after all!
Very tired of leaving malls empty-handed, I decided to take up sewing again after a seven year hiatus. In sewing patterns, I’m a size 14 up top & an 18 on the bottom w/ a high waist. Learning your tips will help me better customized the pieces I spend the time and energy constructing to give me a total knock-out wardrobe!
Thanks so much for the inspiration.
Sylviaon July 18, 2012 at 4:09 pm
Thanks for your feedback Karen. I’m happy you enjoy the site!
diane harrisonon April 4, 2012 at 7:54 am
hi Sylvia,Im 47 next week and 5ft 2 and size 14 on bottom half.I like your pear shape tips,was feeling pretty browned off this morning with looking in mirror so treated myself to a few outfits,very similar to what you suggested so thank you and I feel good in my new items ,I must have chosen well! Cannot wait to wear one tomorrow.x
Sylviaon April 4, 2012 at 11:49 pm
Hi Diana, thanks for letting me know that my article has been helpful to you and great to read that you feel great in your new outfits. Welcome to the site and feel free to upload photos of your outfits to our style forum!
Pamon October 24, 2019 at 11:07 pm
Hi Sylvia, I’m confused. I like the WORDS in this Pear article…but so many of the models are definitely not pears. About half of them (via the pictures) have HUGE waists proportionally…definitely not a characteristic of a pear. I’m thinking that whoever put this article together TECHNICALLY was confused and inserted the wrong photos?
Sylviaon October 25, 2019 at 9:41 am
I understand your confusion. It’s not always easy to find women with exactly the right body shape wearing the outfits we recommend. So we tried to find examples of women wearing the kind of outfits we described (they don’t only work for pear women) and that would work for pear women too.

How to dress after 40 and look hip?
Of course you can dress any which way you like. But i know that some of you worry that you look too young, or you feel that you may be trying too hard to stay young. I’ve also been getting questions on how to avoid appearing older than you are. So here are some of my guidelines on how to dress after 40.
Please note that these are just GENERAL guidelines and some of my own personal preferences. They certainly don’t apply to everyone.
However, I do believe in dressing to your strengths and taking your body shape and style personality into account. So, if you would like to have some guidelines on how to dress after 40, then you can find them below.
HOW TO DRESS AFTER 40 – WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU SHOULD AVOID?
Below are a few general guidelines on what to avoid doing in terms of style after 40, style over 50 or any age above.
1. DON’T BUY CLOTHES THAT DO NOT FLATTER YOU, EVEN IF THEY ARE ON TREND THIS SEASON.
You may be tempted by a new trend but, when thinking about how to dress after 40, it’s wise to be picky. Only choose those that suit your personality and your your body type. You can find guides on dressing all the different body types in these articles:
Hourglass
Pear
Inverted Triangle
Rectangle
Apple
2. TRY NOT TO BE TOO MATCHY-MATCHY OR TOO POLISHED
It’s nice to mix things up and be a bit more playful. A 2-piece suit will quickly look old. Better to mix that jacket with another skirt or pants and look effortlessly chic.
Melinda (above) chooses to pair an on-trend oversized blazer with her black pencil skirt, and mixing formal and casual by wearing with sneakers.
Check out this similar blouse, blazer, skirt, sneakers, clutch and sunglasses.
3. AVOID BUYING FABRICS THAT LOOK CHEAP (OR ARE CHEAP AND POORLY MADE) AS THEY ARE USUALLY NOT FLATTERING OR WILL NOT LAST
As a young woman, you may have looked cute in a flimsy, poorly made t-shirt but as a woman over 40, you need something with a bit more substance.
You can see some characteristics of fabrics here . We also have a list of recommended shops here. Best to buy only the clothes that you love and that have a chance to last.
Look for beautiful natural fabrics like silk, cotton, linen and cashmere and you will enjoy them for years to come. Think about your purchase in terms of cost per wear rather than initial price.
Avoid fabrics that don’t drape well or cling.
Sarah (above) wears a classic wool coat that will be on trend year after year.
Get her look with this similar cashmere sweater, coat, jeans, booties, necklace and tote.
Vince shaped collar silk blouse
4. WEARING TIGHT AND TIGHT TOGETHER
Of course there are many exceptions but in general tighter items like leggings look better when they are combined with wide pieces like a tunic or wider shirt.
That also applies to skirts. Aim to have either a tight skirt with a loser top or vice versa.
Jacqueline (above) opts for a tunic-style top with her leggings.
Steal her look with this similar tunic shirt, leggings, booties and scarf.
Zella high waist leggings

Shorts: choose the ones that are right for you – Find out how to wear shorts
Leggings: find out how to wear leggings the right way
Mini dresses – I prefer these as tops for women over 40. Have a look at how to wear short dress with pants.

Blazers – check our guidelines on how to fit a blazer

DRESSING OVER 40: WHAT ARE SOME OF THE THINGS YOU SHOULD DO MORE OF?
1. KNOW YOUR STYLE!
Nothing is more important than dressing in a way that pleases and represents you. There’s no such thing as one style of “fashion for older women” that suits everyone.
If you know your style and understand your body you can break any of the rules or add items from the ‘don’t list’ as you please. My style guide will help with that.
Doing our style personality quiz will also give you a better idea of your style.
Kim (above) is arguably breaking some of the “rules” of dressing. For example, she wears a loose top over a loose skirt. However, she still looks absolutely incredible, particularly with the addition of a pair of edgy boots – proof that you should stick to your style and not be afraid to experiment.
Check out this metallic top and skirt that you can wear with this similar pair of leather boots, sling bag and hoop earrings.
2. DETERMINE THE WARDROBE ESSENTIALS THAT ARE UNIQUE TO YOUR STYLE.
Not everyone will have the same wardrobe essentials. This will depend on your lifestyle and your style personality.
But having a collection of wardrobe essentials in your closet will make dressing every day so much easier – and more stylish.
Personally, I love to have plenty of asymmetrical items in my closet.
3. HAVE MORE LASTING HIGH QUALITY ITEMS IN YOUR WARDROBE.
These vary for each style personality but some important classics are:
A white button down shirt. Check our tips on how to wear a white shirt
A long coat (could be a trench coat ). Check out tips on how to choose a coat.
A beautiful dress that fits you perfectly. Don’t automatically go for a little black dress. Many women over 40 will actually look better (and slimmer) in a colorful dress. – you may like to get a dress with sleeves
Well fitted long pants. Check out what shoes to wear with different styles of pants
A well fitted blazer.
A good pair of dark denim jeans that fit you well. Boot cut or straight leg is usually the most flattering style. Check all our tips on wearings jeans.
Kylie (above) chooses a classic, white blazer that will go with everything in her closet.
Recreate her outfit with this similar camisole, blazer, skirt and flats.
Club Monaco tuxedo blazer
4. Fashion over 40: MIX AND MATCH DESIGNER ITEMS WITH NON-DESIGNER ONES.
Petra (above) looks classic and classy, teaming her black suit with a Hermès bag and Prada heels. Note, she adds a little edge to her look with her fishnets.
Complete her look with this similar blouse, blazer, pants, pumps, earrings and stockings.
Tory Burch leather convertible crossbody bag
5. LOOK EFFORTLESSLY CHIC
Take a good critical look at yourself before you go out and see if you look too overdone. When thinking about fashion at 50, over 40 or any age above, the aim is to look effortlessly chic so just evaluate and if necessary you may have to add on something a bit more casual.
Sally (above) wears an understated, but stylish outfit. She sticks to a palette of neutrals, but adds interest with her see-through block heels and on-trend ruched bag.
Get her look with this similar blazer dress, sandals, purse and earrings.
6. Don’t neglect your casual wardrobe
It’s easy to be attracted to evening wear on the store rails or online. However, it’s likely that you will actually wear your casual outfits much more.
So, don’t neglect your day-to-day wardrobe. You could choose a drapey cardigan to add style and warmth to a simple jeans and t-shirt outfit. Or add a blazer to casual wear to elevate your look.
Check out some recent articles on casual style:

7. MIX YOUR OWN STYLE WITH A TREND YOU LIKE
Keep updated with the fashion trends and make sure you have a few current items in your wardrobe. For the best style over 40, only pick those trends that work for you!
If you want to know about the latest trends check our article on the latest trends.
8. CHOOSE A SKIRT OR DRESS LENGTH THAT’S RIGHT FOR YOU
For many women dresses and skirts that are just above or on top of the knee are a great length for women over 40. Right now longer dresses are very much on trend as well and can be a great style for older women to choose.
Petite women may want to go a bit shorter with their skirt lengths to get the 1/3 – 2/3 silhoutte. Find out more about this rule of thirds in our article on how to wear capris.
Monika (above) shows how flattering a skirt that is just below the knee can be.
Steal her look with this similar dress, coat, pumps, and match it with a bag from Gucci.
Ming Wang asymmetrical hem sheath dress
For more inspiration, see this article on the perfect skirt length for women over 40.
8. PLAY WITH ACCESSORIES
Wear accessories like belts, jewelries and scarves. They can make a real difference to your outfit.
Patricia shows how accessories can add extra impact.
Check out this similar sweater, skirt, pumps, clutch, belt, sunglasses, earrings and headband.
Karine Sultan gold plate collar necklace
Read our article on how to wear accessories.
9. WEAR HIP AND CURRENT SHOES
These add an instant young and hip vibe to your outfits.
Make sure to choose shoes that you are able to walk in. Mid high heels can look fabulous.
If you need more support I have a great list of arch support shoes.
Suzie (above) wears shoes with an edgy cutout. You could get the same look with a pair of pointed toe loafers if you don’t want to wear a heel.
Recreate her outfit with this similar dress, handbag, earrings, tights and heels.
Franco Sarto flat
10. Invest in a great pair of flattering jeans
Your jeans can be the mainstay of your closet as they go with so many other things, and can be dressed up or down.
Opt for a style which flatters your figure rather than the latest on-trend jeans shape.
Dahlia (above) wears a pair of bootcut jeans, which are back on-trend for this season, and can have a leg-lengthening effect, particularly when worn with heel.
Check out this similar top, moto jacket, bootcut jeans and booties.
PAIGE bootcut jeans
Also, take a look at the most flattering jeans for every body type.
12. OPTIONAL: USE SHAPEWEAR
If you want to hide some of the bulges, then shapewear definitely helps. I personally only wear it on special occasions.
If you don’t like shapewear, then learning how to skilfully hide with the right clothes will be preferable, like these tips in my article on how to hide your belly.
Wacoal shaping shorts
13. WEAR A GOOD BRA
Make sure you wear a good bra and invisible undergarments. A great bra will make sure that there is clear distance between your chest and your tummy!
Wacoal underwire bra
More info in my article on how to find the perfect bra.
14. WEAR WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL AMAZING
The most important style “rule” of all is to wear what makes you feel confident. That way, you’ll have a spring in your step and you’ll be ready for whatever the day brings.
Check out this similar dress, sandals, necklace and sunglasses to recreate my look.
WEAR WHAT FEELS RIGHT TO YOU!
I want to emphasize again that these tips are not set in stone and it’s up to you to decide what works best for you. But if you want to look young and hip, then these guidelines can certainly help.
The more you understand your body and your style, the more you can break these rules as you please.
For all my best tips and a complete style course that will get you looking stylish in no time, I highly recommend my style course.

How to dress the apple body shape
Are you an apple shape and wondering how to dress your apple body shape? It can be a tricky shape to style.
But, in this updated article, adapted for spring and summer, we are going to look at the apple shaped body and how to dress in the most flattering way for you.
AS A QUICK REMINDER YOU HAVE AN APPLE BODY SHAPE WHEN:
You have no defined waist
Weight tends to form on the stomach
You have an average to large bust size
This is a body shape that often develops after 40 when you start to experience symptoms of (peri)menopause and may gain weight around your waist.
WHAT IS FLATTERING FOR THE APPLE SHAPED BODY?
To be honest this is not the easiest body shape to dress as many women with this shape will be well aware of.
Some women tend to cover it all up with loose garments which, in most cases, is not the right thing to do as this can simply make you look larger than you really are.
Winter and fall can be the easiest seasons to dress the apple shape because you can play with layers to create long, lean lines and skim over your belly.
However, thankfully, you can still add lovely layers in spring and summer too. In this article you will find out howto dress the apple body shape, no matter what the season.
YOUR AIM WHEN DRESSING THE APPLE BODY SHAPE
What you DO want to do is to create the nicest silhouette possible.
For many apples, you can do that by creating the illusion of a waist, highlighting your cleavage and creating nice vertical lines.
I also like the look of a straight silhouette, but with the use of lots of vertical lines for a long and lean silhouette.

APPLE SHAPED CELEBRITIES
You probably assume that most celebrities aren’t an apple shape, as this can be a tricky shape to style.
But, the fact is there are lots of female celebrities with the same body shape as you.
They have just learned tricks – or their stylist has taught them – about how to dress to flatter their shape.
These women tend to carry their weight around their middle, but have great legs, so you will often see them choosing an outfit which shows off their legs for red carpet events.
For inspiration, you can look at celebrities including Drew Barrymore, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Amy Schumer and Kate Winslet.
GUIDELINES FOR THE APPLE SHAPE
Below are some rough guidelines of what will and will not work for many apple shaped women over 40.
1. ARE YOU DEFINITELY AN APPLE SHAPE?
First of all, check that you really do have an apple shaped body.
Many women put on a little weight around the tummy area as we age, for all sorts of reasons including the menopause.
But, you can have a little bit of weight around your tummy and still be a pear shape, or an hourglass, for example.
If you aren’t sure, you can check with out body shape calculator.
2. DRAW ATTENTION AWAY FROM YOUR TUMMY
As with dressing for any body shape, the idea is to create balance, so you will want to draw attention away from the widest part of your belly.
You can do this in two ways. Either you can skim over your tummy area completely.
Or you can redefine where your mid-section is. You don’t have to tie your belt at your widest point, for example. You can just belt a little further up where you are slimmer.
Sandra (above) belts her waist at her slimmest point.
Recreate her outfit with this similar striped top, moto jacket, jeans, sandals, tote and a Gucci belt.
3. EMPHASIZE YOUR CLEAVAGE
Okay, you don’t have to emphasize your cleavage if you don’t want to. But my general point is you should draw attention somewhere else other than your tummy.
If you are happy with your cleavage or decolletage, you could draw attention upwards. A v-neck top will be super-flattering on you.
4. OR EMPHASIZE YOUR LEGS
If you prefer your legs – and lots of apple shape women have great legs – you could draw the attention downwards instead.
That doesn’t necessarily mean wearing a mini skirt, but you could go above the knee with your hem length.
Or you can wear a longer plain top, but choose patterned jeans or pants.
Liz (above) wears a tunic style dress that ends above the knee.
Steal her look with this similar dress and sandals.
5. CHOOSE THE RIGHT MATERIAL
Don’t opt for clingy materials which will just draw attention to any lumps and bumps.
Instead, opt for textured materials or draping and ruching.
Clare (above) chooses a top with embroidery on the shoulders which draws the eyes upwards.
Check out these tops from cupcakes & cashmere, Kafeimali and PAIGE, and wear with this similar pair of jeans and sandals.
NOW LET’S GO INTO MORE DETAIL – WHICH GARMENTS ARE GOOD FOR AN APPLE BODY SHAPE?
I’ve already given you a few simple guidelines, but now let’s go into much more detail on what will look good on you if you are an apple shape.
Below, you will find a capsule wardrobe which will work for the spring and summer season for the apple body type.
I’ve been inspired by some of the spring and summer color trends for 2021 including the purples, blues and grays seen on the catwalks as well as monochrome.
TOPS FOR THE APPLE SHAPE
First of all, since a lot of attention is going to be drawn to the top part of your body, get yourself a well-fitting bra. You don’t want your bust and your tummy meeting each other!
Tops that highlight your body at the slimmest point, which is often just underneath your bust are often very flattering. They should have enough space for your belly but not be too wide.
Buy t-shirts that are ruched in the middle. This will confuse the eye and you can’t tell that there’s a big tummy underneath.
Get tops with a V-neck to break up the size of your chest and create a vertical line.
Look for tops with a thicker texture that don’t cling so much. Woven tops can be great.
The best hem-length for tops is just below your hipbone (when worn with pants)
Patterns tend to look very good on an apple shape body as they flatter and camouflage.
Tops that draw attention to your arms with e.g. flares, a slit or embroidery will draw attention from your belly
Asymmetry in your tops helps to create vertical and slimming lines.
Jacqueline (above) looks casual and stylish in a layered top and statement necklace.
Recreate her outfit with this similar tunic top, leggings, sneakers and necklace.
As you are likely to have a larger bust size, also take a look at this article on the best bras for large breasts: bras which are supportive AND stylish.

For more shoppable ideas, check out this article on the best tops to hide a belly, which features plenty of inspiration.
SWEATERS and cardigans
Unless you live somewhere super hot you’re likely to need a cardigan or sweater for cooler days or evenings.
The sweaters below are good examples for the apple shape. The off the shoulder styles will draw attention away from the tummy, while the draped options will skim over any lumps or bumps.
PAIGE off the shoulder sweater – Treasure & Bond one-shoulder sweater – GIBSONLOOK open front cardigan – ACEVOG drape cardigan
COATS AND JACKETS FOR THE APPLE SHAPE
You can layer with a long cardigan or a long sleeveless vest
Make sure the top underneath is not too short
Try to have v-necklines with your long long jumper or tops underneath the layering piece
Longer tops and jackets that skim the body can be worn with leggings or skinny jeans
As an apple shape, you will find a number of jackets can work for you as you can layer to draw attention away from your belly. Just make sure that your jacket does not end at your widest point.
Make sure that the jacket fits the shoulder perfectly, so choose the size for your shoulders, not your belly. If you can’t close the jacket, you can always use a scarf to fill the gap if you like.
Choose tailored jackets that have a nice v shape at the top.
Opt for a single-breasted rather than a double-breasted style.
You can use the clothes you wear to create the illusion of a leaner waistline.
@fashionandstyle.lover (above) shows how you can layer with a sleeveless vest during the warmer months.
Check out this similar tee, cardigan vest, jeans, sneakers and crossbody bag.
Below, I’ve included coats with a flattering drape, or which you can create long lines with. A moto jacket is also a good option as you can wear longer tops underneath and then top with your leather jacket.
A blazer is a classic option for any body shape, while a sleeveless vest is perfect for layering on hotter days.

DRESSES FOR APPLE SHAPE
Dresses should have their waistline just below the bust or at your thinnest point.
You can also choose shift style dresses which skim over your waist rather than emphasizing your thickest point
Another idea is to look for dresses which have ruching, draping or layers
You can also try wearing a shorter tunic style over a pair of skinny pants or leggings. You’ll find tips in this article on how to wear leggings.

DRESSES FOR APPLE SHAPED PLUS SIZE
Of course, many women with an apple shape are also plus size. So which dresses are flattering for the apple shaped plus size woman?
You will find that the tips in this article can work for an apple size no matter whether you are petite, tall, or plus size.
Here are some dresses for the apple shaped plus size that you could wear either alone (in the case of the dresses with a waist) or to layer (the looser shift style dresses).
Halogen brush print pleated shift dress – City Chic twisted stripe shirtdress – Standards & Practices wrap dress
BOTTOMS FOR THE APPLE BODY TYPE
Get trousers that have zippers at the side to avoid adding extra bumps on the front.
Trousers should be flared or straight and not cling to tummy or thighs unless you are opting to create the long and lean silhouette using vertical lines. Avoid pleats.
Also choose jeans that are tailored and either straight or flared. Trouser jeans are ideal.
Pants with a high rise will create a nice silhouette.
It’s best to get trousers with some stretch for extra comfort and a good fit.
Choose skirts that have their zippers at the side.
Structured pencil skirts work well, but keep them at knee length. Make sure to add the focus to the top with the tips above.
Make sure that any pleats of skirts start below the belly to avoid adding extra volume.
Although you probably have lovely slim legs, choosing a pair of skinny jeans is not always the way to go. This is because you might end up creating a top heavy silhouette.
Instead, you may find a better balance by opting for a bootcut or slim style. However, If you are using the technique of slimming layers on your top half, then you can wear skinny jeans on your bottom half.
Julia (above) shows that a pair of slim fitting black pants or leggings are always a great option for the apple shape when worn with a tunic top.
Steal her look with this similar top, denim jacket, pants, sneakers and clutch.

SHOES FOR THE APPLE BODY
You don’t have to worry about your shoes fitting your belly, but you can use your shoes to detract attention away from your tummy area.
Many apple shapes have fantastic legs, so how about opting for colorful shoes to draw the attention to your legs and slim ankles?
Because you are likely to have great legs, you can wear strappy sandals to show off your ankles.
Mel (above) wears a pair of eye-catching gold booties.

ACCESSORIES TO GO WITH YOUR APPLE BODY SHAPE CLOTHES
Of course, you can choose whatever accessories you love as you don’t have to worry about how your accessories fit your waist (apart from your belt!).
But, thinking strategically about your accessories can help you to draw attention from the area of your body you aren’t so keen on (your belly or waist) and either upwards or downwards.
Choosing a statement accessory (scarf, necklace or a pair of earrings) can draw the attention up to your face, while opting for colorful or patterned shoes can draw the eye to your legs.
Kim (above) wears accessories which would be flattering for the apple shape. Her hat draws the eye upwards, while her crossbody bag sits on her hips and thighs rather than the tummy area. Plus, she’s wearing a pair of shoes in a color similar to her skintone, which makes her legs look longer.
Check out these dresses from BB Dakota x Steve Madden and Amazon, and wear it with this similar pair of sandals, crossbody bag and hat.

WHAT NOT TO WEAR IF YOU HAVE AN APPLE BODY SHAPE
I’ve talked a lot about what to wear if you have an apple shape, but how about what you should avoid?
Big puffa jackets – these will only make your midriff look wider.
Big shapeless garments that don’t show any waist or don’t use vertical layers. You can, however, use tunic dresses as a base to create long, lean lines with layers.
Bulky trousers with lots of pockets and zippers at the front.
High necklines. A V-neck will be more flattering.
Tight clingy T-shirts that shoe every lump and bump.
Avoid wearing everything in one solid color. Better to mix color with a texture or to use several layers in different colors to create vertical lines.

How to dress when you are petite?
In previous articles, I discussed how to determine body shape and dress for your vertical body type.
Today let’s go into detail on how to dress when you are short or petite, ie., below the average height of 1.65 m (5’4” ).
Everything you need for dressing when you are petite
In principle, these guidelines, which are now updated for this spring and summer season, will work for anyone who is short in height, or for those who want to appear longer or leaner in their appearance.
These ideas also work well for those whose upper body is almost the same length as their lower body. In that case, the aim is to make the lower body appear longer so that you look like you have longer legs.
This is the ultimate guide for dressing when you are short or petite. In this article, you will find
26 tips on how to dress to make yourself look longer, leaner and slimmer as well as what not to wear.

How to dress for spring and summer if you are petite
It can actually be trickier in a way to dress for spring and summer when you are petite. Let me explain why.
While you can wear elongating layers in winter and fall, you won’t want to add so much warmth during spring and summer.
However, dresses are fabulous for petites and you can create a lengthening effect with a one color dress. You can also try lighter-weight layers such as sleeveless vests.
How to dress when you are petite – what to think about
Petite doesn’t necessarily mean small and slim. It simply means that you are 5′ 4” or below.
You can be any size, which makes it even more important to keep your outfits in the right proportion.
When you are short in height you will usually have the following objectives with your dressing:
Appear longer, taller and leaner
Create a flattering silhouette (using the rule of thirds, so you don’t split your body in half)
Avoid boxiness which will only make you look wider rather than taller.
Most short women will want to appear taller and leaner.
You may also want to take a look at this article how to look taller and slimmer no matter what your height.
This is relatively easy to achieve if you stick to the following guidelines:
1. Stick to monochrome outfits or outfits with few color variations
You would look perfect in simple shift dresses, with little color accents here and there.
Monochromatic looks will create a vertical image and instantly create the illusion of height.
Dark colors are a great choice to create this illusion as they make the wearer look thinner furthering the perception of height. But essentially this tip will work for any color.
Lyn, The Accidental Icon (above) elongates her figure with an all white outfit.
Check out this similar dress, sheer cover-up and mules to recreate her look.
2. Petite dresses: Wear a dress!
Dresses will look great on many short women, as they automatically create the much desired 2/3 – 1/3 look.
If you opt for a form-fitting slim silhouette then this will make you look even taller.
A knee length sheath dress is a great option for a petite frame as the tailored silhouette avoids unwanted bulk.
The end result is a lean look that makes the wearer appear taller. Polish off the look with slingback kitten heels, for a little-added height.
Monika (above) looks fabulous in a blue ruched sheath dress that you could wear for work (if you’re heading into the office) or for dinner.

3. Petite clothing: Get the right fit
Getting clothes with the right fit and size is even more important for short women. Ill-fitting clothes will add extra bulk.
Avoid oversized clothes (even if they are on trend).
If you do really want to wear oversized clothes, make sure to create a good silhouette and that the balance between fitted and oversize is correct.
Make sure not to have both wide on top and below. A belted dress in one color is perfect for petites.
Nikki (above) opts for a classic black cardigan and animal print skirt. If you find the sleeves on your outfits are a little long, you could always push them up. Choosing a similar pair of pumps will help to elongate your legs if you opt for a color in a similar shade to your skin tone.
Get her look with this similar cardigan top, skirt and cap toe pumps.
4. Wear heels with your petite outfits
An obvious way to gain height is to wear a heel. However, don’t go overboard with these. Getting heels that are too high will make you look out of proportion.
For examples on how I wear heels and a full list of recommended comfortable shoes, also check my article on the best arch support shoes.
Rachel (above)opts for a dress which is an elongating column of color, and she adds stacked heels.
Steal her look with this similar dress, heels, necklace and clutch.
Below are more heels you could wear to add some additional height.

5. Wear accessories in proportion
Go easy on the oversized accessories as these may overwhelm you.
Choose accessories that are in proportion with your face and the rest of your body
The bigger you are the bigger your accessories can be.
Choose a handbag that fits your physique. In many cases, oversized handbags are not your best choice as they will make you look smaller.

6. Be smart with belts
For many petites your legs will be relatively short.
To make those appear longer you can wear the same color belt as your pants or skirt as this will make your legs look longer.
Marina (above) wears a belt from Gucci which matches her pants.
Check out this similar blouse, jeans, sandals and sunglasses.

7. Vertical patterns are your friend
Vertical patterns will always elongate and would be especially good for your pants or skirt.
Horizontal stripes are best avoided.
Erica (above) opts for a pair of vertical striped pants and adds high heels.
Check out this similar blouse, striped pants, pumps, earrings and necklace.
SweatyRocks striped elastic high waist pants
8. Find your ideal skirt length
Although a short dress can be very effective for short people when they are young, I would advise against a very short hemline over 40.
Instead, opt for styles that fall just below or on top of the knee. A high-waisted skirt or pants would make your legs appear longer.

9. Wear shoes that keep your ankles free
Avoid straps around the ankle as ankle straps can make your legs look shorter. Instead opt for shoes that elongate. Mules are a great option for petites.
If you want to wear flats rather than heels, pointed toes can also create the illusion of extra height.

1o. Create a vertical line with a buttoned shirt dress
Buttoned shirt dresses that stop just above or on top of the knee will create a nice vertical line as well.
Most wrap dresses work really well for petites too.
The shirt dress below could be worn on its own, as a tunic over skinny pants or leggings or you could wear it unbuttoned as a sleeveless vest.
Bev (above) chooses a belted blue dress and makes her legs look longer by choosing shoes that are close to her skin tone.
Recreate her outfit with this similar shirtdress, heels and sunglasses.

11. avoid double breasted
As a general rule, avoid a double breasted style, as these will add width rather than length.
Abi (above) does choose a double breasted style, but she leaves her blazer open which creates a column effet thorugh the centre of her outfit.
Check out this similar V-neck top, blazer, jeans, loafers, handbag, earrings and necklace.

12. Create vertical lines in your outfit
You don’t necessarily need to feature vertical lines as a print such as a stripe to have vertical lines in your outfit.
Create nice vertical lines with open straight jackets and cardigans.
A great look is to have a cardigan or jacket the same length as your dress.
Long straight cardigans or sleeveless vests are perfect for petites!

13. Create vertical lines with a sleeveless vest
I added one of my own outfits. Even though I’m not petite this could have been worn by a petite woman.
The column of color (the black) creates a lengthening vertical line for the red vest.
Check out this similar long red vest, harem jumpsuit, booties, tote, necklace and sunglasses.
Below, you can see a similar long vest from Amazon, which comes in a variety of colors.

14. WEAR V-LINE TOPS TO FURTHER ELONGATE YOUR LOOK
These open up the neck line and create additional vertical lines.
Adaline (above) wears a v-neck top in the same color as her skirt. Her shoes also create a lengthening effect as they are close to her skin color.
Get her look with this similar tie front top, skirt, cap toe shoes and handbag.

15. avoid contrasting tops
Avoid wearing tops which are in very different colors to your skirt or pants.
This will draw more attention to the fact that your upper body is almost the same length as your lower body.
16. Make sure that your tops stop at the hipline or above
Longer tops may cut you in half and you will not achieve the golden ratio or rule of thirds (see above). They will also make your legs appear even shorter.
However, you can wear longer tunics over skinny pants or leggings. make sure they are about 2/3 from shoulder to shoe.
17. Pay attention to boot length
Choose boots that stop just below the knee and avoid boots that end on the mid part of your shins.
We already discussed the importance of creating a great silhouette and paying attention to the rule of thirds. Here are a few more tips.
Kim (above) wears boots that end at the slimmest part of her ankles, and also chooses a color in the same shade as her legs, so they don’t visually cut across her ankles. You can get a similar effect with a pair of skintone boots or choose black boots with black tights.
Recreate her outfit with this similar tunic dress, booties, necklace and sunglasses.
For more tips also see our article on how to look taller and slimmer.
Blondo waterproof wedge bootie
18. BE careful with cropped PANTS
Avoid short trousers and pants that stop at the ankle. Best to wear pants with straight pipes or wide legged ones with heels, preferably high-waisted.
If you do wear cropped pants be sure to wear a shorter top to give you a nice 2/3 – 1/3 silhouette.
To read more about the rule of thirds, check out our article on how to wear cropped pants.
19. Embrace high waisted pants and skirts
High waist pants paired with heels work together to create a long vertical image. Worn with a short top, the outfit creates the illusion of height.
They will make your legs appear longer. Wide pants with tucked in tops work really well. If you can’t tuck in your top because you want to hide your belly consider getting an asymmetrical top.
Recreate her outfit with this similar top, jacket, pants, sandals and bag.
Freeprance paper bag trousers
20. get a good bra
You want to create as much space between your waist and your bust line as possible. Choose a good, supportive bra.
b.tempt’s by Wacoal wireless T-shirt bra
21. Be Careful With Tucking Pants Into Your Boots
Best not to tuck in your pants into your boots as it will break up the lengthening line. Or keep the rest of the outfit in the same color as that will create a 2/3 – 2/3 effect.
You can also select the boots in the same color as your pants to make your legs look longer.
22. Choose the right size for tops and bottoms
Jona (above) lets her top flow outside of her pants. This works well as she creates a column effect with her topper jacket.
Check out this similar blouse, printed topper, pants, sneakers, bag and fedora.
Your size is not necessarily ‘petite’ top and bottom, so you may need a bigger size on top or vice versa. Making sure you opt for the right sizes for your shape will give you a balanced look.
23. avoid boxiness
You want to create fluid lines in your looks and create a 1/3 – 2/3 silhouette whenever possible.
Julia (above) wears a top which does have a bit of boxiness to it. However, she cleverly counteracts this effect with her v-shaped necklace which has a lengthening effect.
Steal her look with this similar sleeveless top, jeans, sneakers and necklace.
24. Test what the right belt width is for you
Belts are often best kept narrow, unless you belt them very high up your waist, or they are the same color as your pants.
Kylie (above) opts for vertical lines and nude shoes with a pointed toe. She adds a slim line belt.
Recreate her outfit with this similar shirtdress, flats, belt and earrings.

25. Fit is everything!
If you can’t find clothes that fit properly, find a good tailor.

Famous petite women looking gorgeous
If you ever felt that being shorter than average stands in your way of looking absolutely fabulous, think again!
Here are some very famous and fabulous women under 1.65m (5’4”) looking stunning. I chose these women for their style and their choice of dressing that in many cases follow the guidelines above.
These women tend to dress to appear longer. If you like to see great style by women that are even shorter, have a look at the list of celebrities under 1.60 listed below.
Madonna
Madonna is a spectacular woman (over 60 already) short on height. She is 5’3” (1.63 meters) high.
She increasingly favors tight dresses just below the knee which she has no problem pulling off with her svelte figure. You can also see that she wears heels under her wide-legged pants, as well as wearing shoes in the same color as her skirt.
Victoria Beckham
Victoria Beckham measures 1.63 (5’3”) meters.
Above are some perfect examples of how to dress for lengthening. High-waisted pants, a tight fit, heels and one-color dresses.
She goes quite wide with the shoulder on the red dress, which can be risky, but gets away with it, as she combines it with a v-neck and a very lean silhouette for the bottom part. I love all these looks.
Sarah Jessica Parker
Sarah Jessica Parker is 5’2.75” (1.59 meters) and has really embraced the high heel shoes as her weapon of choice to appear longer.
Now 55, she increasingly uses mid-length dresses which I think suit her the best. In the first look, she took a risk with the slightly oversized coat, but she has added heels to elongate her figure.
Her floral dress fits her vertical body shape perfectly, drawing in at her natural waist, while her gray dress and blazer create vertical lines.
Other celebrities below 1.60
For more inspiration on how to dress your short physique, check out other celebrities who measure under 1.60:
Mary Kate Olsen who is 5’0″ (152 cm),
Rachel Bilson who is 5’1.5″ (156 cm),
Hayden Panettiere who is 5’0.25″ (153 cm),
Nicole Richie who is 5’1″ (155 cm),
Kristen Bell who is 5’1″ (155 cm),

Eva Longoria who is about 5’2″ (153 cm),
Fergie, who is 5’1.75″ (157 cm) and A
lyssa Milano, who is about 5’1.5″ (156 cm).

How to dye your hair roots yourself
If you are still coloring your hair like I do, you will be well aware of the continuous maintenance necessary to keep up with the ever upcoming gray roots. So what is the best way to dye hair roots yourself?
Depending on where you live, many salons are currently closed, or have been closed, as a result of the pandemic. So, you may now be looking at how to color your hair at home so you can dye hair roots without going to the salon.
Even before the current crisis, getting professional root touch ups every 2 weeks, as J Lo famously does, is a luxury in both time and cash most of us simply cannot afford.
Therefore I started dying my hair roots myself. I still have the highlights done professionally every half year but I dye my roots myself every 4-6 weeks.
In this article, you will find the tips I’ve picked up along the way. I hope it helps you, whether you usually dye your hair yourself, or you find yourself wanting a root touch-up when you can’t get to the salon.
I’ve also picked out some of the box dyes I use myself at home, as well as those recommended by other stylish 40+ women. I’d love it if you could let me know what you use in the comments at the bottom. That way, we can turn this into a really useful resource for women looking for the best hair color options.
It may seem frivolous to be talking about hair dye at a time like this, but I really believe the little things can help to keep your spirits up.
Hair color choice to dye hair roots
So, before you get started with the actual practicalities of dyeing your hair at home, you will need to choose the right hair color for you.
Skin tone awareness helps you pick the right color. Warm complexions are perfectly complemented by warm, golden or auburn shades, while skin with rosy undertones works best with cooler shades like ash and champagne tones.
Of course, the safest choice is to choose the color closest to your natural hair shade.
I currently use 7.3 (golden blonde) as my base color.
Choosing the DIY color kit: Should you choose foam or cream to dye hair roots?
Mousse or foam formulas are the easiest to apply. They result in an all-over even color that is less likely to leave a patchy finish.
Application is as simple as shampooing, as the foam texture expands to surround each strand and effortlessly massages the dye into the hair.
Foams will not drip but if you do get the dye onto your skin it will wash off easily with soap and water, where cream dye is a little more stubborn.
Choosing a mousse or foam is often the best option if you want to do a full-head color.
Try these: L’Oreal Paris Superior Preference Mousse Absolue, Clairol Nice & Easy and John Frieda 16204 Precision Foam Colour
Dye hair roots: Root touch up
If you’re transitioning to gray or just want to take a bit longer between hair coloring appointments, you can also use quick grey root fixers to dye hair roots.
I personally use L’Oreal Paris Root Cover Up Temporary Gray Concealer Spray. It helps me cover up my gray roots and I can last much longer between coloring my hair.
Just spray it on and you are ready to go!
Cream dyes are best for root touch-ups
Crème or cream hair dyes need a little extra effort and are perhaps more suited to the experienced. This is what I personally prefer as it gives me more control and I can paint the color on my hair roots.
Careful application is important to dye hair roots. It can be tricky but following the simple steps below will see you mastering cream dye application in no time. I can now do it in 10 minutes!

Quick-drying and easy to apply, Oribe’s airbrush root touch-up spray could be worth a try if you want a quick solution to root cover up before leaving the house.

Best permanent products for root touch up
Of course, you may not be looking for a very temporary option which will only last you until you wash your hair.
Below are the best products I have found for more permanent at-home root touch-ups.
1. Clairol root touch-up
Clairol root touch-up comes in a very wide range of colors so you should find a shade to match, or at least almost match your color. It’s easy to apply, but even though it is a permanent color, it does fade fairly quickly so use a color protecting shampoo.
Clairol Root Touch-Up Permanent Hair Color Creme
2. Revlon root erase
A good range of colors, and easy to mix. Plus, the pump applicator means you can use it two or three times if you don’t need it all in one go.
Revlon Permanent Root Erase
Semi-permanent hair color
You will find that even permanent hair colors fade. But if you want something which sits between a spray or powder and a permanent color, opting for a semi-permanent shade could be the way to go.
1. Clairol beautiful collection moisturizing color
I’ve seen mixed reviews for this one. Some women say they wouldn’t use anything else and others say it didn’t work for them. I guess the only way to find out is to try! A good option for brunettes.
Clairol Beautiful Collection
2. L’Oréal Casting Créme Gloss
A long-time popular hair dye option, L’Oréal’s casting créme gloss comes in a wide range of shades and is designed to last 28 washes.
L’Oreal Healthy Look Creme Gloss Hair Color
3. Dark and Lovely fade resist
A great option if you want a brown, red or black shade, the Dark and Lovely Fade Resist features argan oil to help keep your hair in good condition while coloring.
Dark and Lovely Fade Resist
4. Clairol natural instincts
If you like a dye with more natural ingredients, then Clairol’s natural instincts may be the one to try. It’s kinder to your hair than some other options and creates a lovely vibrant color, but you will need color-care shampoo to make sure it lasts as long as possible.
Clairol Natural Instincts
5. Keracolor color + conditioner
This could be a fun one to try if you want to try something a bit funky. You could try a traditional color like honey or mocha, or go for something different such as this rose gold shade.
Keracolor Clenditioner Color Depositing Conditioner Colorwash
6. L’Oréal Colorista
L’Oréal Colorista is another option is you want to experiment with your color. Good for brunettes.
L’Oréal Paris Colorista Semi-Permanent Hair Color
Permanent hair color
If you are looking for a permanent full-head color rather than a root touch-up, take a look at the options below.
1. Garnier Nutrisse color creme
One of my own favorites, Garnier Nutrisse features plenty of nourishing oils so should leave your hair feeling smooth and silky as well as being freshly-colored.
Garnier Nutrisse Nourishing Hair Color Creme
2. Garnier Olia
Another option from the same brand which is made up of lots of moisturizing oils, Garnier Olio comes in a very wide range of colors.

3. Schwarzkopf keratin color

4. John Frieda precision foam

Highlights at home
Do you usually get highlights at the salon? Highlights can definitely be tricky and time-consuming to apply at home.
But, if you feel confident about trying, or you have someone at home to help, take a look at the two options below.
1. L’Oréal precision highlights
A good option for shorter hair, L’Oréal’s highlights for shorter hair come with a pull-through cap as well as a choice of hook widths so you can decide on whether you want subtle or wider highlights.
L’Oreal Paris Le Petite Frost Pull-Through Cap Highlights
2. L’Oréal glam lights
Another option from L’Oréal, glam lights is easier to apply as it can be brushed on rather than needing to use a highlighting cap.
L’Oreal Paris Superior Preference Brush On Glam Highlights
The best root touch up for highlighted hair
A quick alternative to permanently fixing your highlights. If you want targeted coverage to camouflage a few grays, you could try the Bb Color Stick (below).
Bumble and Bumble Color Stick
Pre-DIY hair care
If you’ve made your color choice, before you think about applying, make sure that your hair is in good condition to start with, otherwise you could get a patchy finish.
The condition of your hair prior to coloring will have dramatic results to your finished look.
Dry/damaged hair takes on a more vibrant color while the risk of further hair damage is strong. A damage repair mask used 3 times weekly for 2 weeks leading up to your dye date will help. I like Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque and Organic Coconut Oil.
Macadamia Natural Oil Deep Repair Masque
For optimal results, dyes should be applied onto dry hair that has not been washed for 1 to 2 days and has little to no hair styling products.
How to apply the hair dye
Coloring your own hair is a lot easier than you think. And if you just dye the roots yourself and then have highlights professionally done once in a while, noone will be be able to tell that you’re doing it yourself. It will save you lots of cash!
Here are the steps to take:
Mix your hair color according to the instructions on the package. I like to empty that in a plastic container. (here is a great brush and container set)
Using a tail comb or a special hair dye brush, and make partings from front to back of head, then paint on the dye (crème formula) with the brush or squeeze the mix (mousse) all along your parting as you go. Take care to avoid too much dye sitting on your scalp. Now make partings from side to side and similarly apply the mix as you go along.
I like to use a hair dye brush that makes it really easy to just color my roots. I separate all the hairs with the brush
If you’re doing all over color, apply the dye fully around your entire hairline
How long to leave hair dye in
Now leave to develop. Developing time will alter depending on the temperature of you room. A warm environment is ideal. If your room is particularly cool then you can cover your hair with a plastic bag and tie a knot to secure in place.
When it is time to rinse, apply a little water then massage your scalp to loosen the mixture, rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear.
Post dye hair care and maintenance
How to get hair dye off scalp
Obviously, you want to color your roots. But, what if you find you have too much color on your scalp? Hopefully, the color will have gone where you want it too, particularly if you have protected your scalp with little vaseline or baby oil before you start.
Not washing your hair for a couple of days before you dye will also help to build up your scalp’s natural oils.
But, if you do have excess color you want to remove, you could try rubbing a little of the excess hair dye onto your scalp. The chemicals will reactivate and you should be able to remove the dye more easily. Other tricks to try include using a little rubbing alcohol, lemon juice, toothpaste, or make-up remover on a cotton swab.
Making sure your color lasts
DIY dye kits contain an after color care conditioner. Apply this after rinsing to lock in your new color and get a glossy, silky finish. Refrain from shampooing for 48 hours to ensure your color settles and does not fade too quickly.
Choosing a shampoo and conditioner specifically for chemically treated hair will help to maintain color and condition. Aveda Color Conserve is a good choice.
Aveda Color Conserve
Sun and Chlorine damage is a higher risk to chemically treated hair, so keep hair covered when out in the sun and tied up and out of the water when swimming.

How to feel confident with your own body: Style lessons from Heather
Heather is one of my favorite 40+ bloggers. Her collaborations with her husband result in creative images and her fabulous clothes always shine. Recently she blew me away with a series of bikini posts. She posed with confidence and showed of her fabulous body in full glory. I wanted to find out the secrets to her amazing style and superb body confidence so I was very pleased that Heather granted me this interview.
Hi Heather. Thanks for taking the time to answer a few questions for 40PlusStyle. Can you tell us a little bit more about yourself?
Fashion and clothing have been a passion of mine since I was very small. I honestly don’t remember a time when I wasn’t drawing clothes and dreaming up outfits. Currently I work as a freelance doll designer in sunny Los Angeles where I live with my husband and two children.
As a point of reference which age group do you belong to or perhaps you are willing to share your age?
I’m 42 years old.
Can you tell us a bit more about your blog. Why did you start a personal style blog?
I started a blog because I was looking for work. For a long time I had a fair amount of freelance projects based on word of mouth recommendations. Then the recession hit and it all dried up. Needing to find a way to advertise my services I created an online portfolio and in hopes of driving traffic to the website I created a design blog. For inspiration I read fashion and personal style blogs. It didn’t take long before I realized I wanted a place to post photos of my outfits and The Style Confessions was born.
You call your blog The Style Confessions. Why did you choose to call it that?
I wanted a name for my blog that conveyed personal style more than fashion, and having a place for personal style confessions felt like what I wanted to do with the blog at the time. Plus I’m Catholic, so I’ve been immersed in the concept of confession since I was small. In the end I wish I had chosen something more lighthearted though. It’s a heavy title for a blog of outfit photos and makeup reviews.
How would you describe your style?
Casual and glamorous.
What would you define as the main components of your style? What makes an outfit truly Heather?
In all my outfits there is always some sexy element: a short skirt, a low cut top, or super high heels. I don’t do this on purpose really. It just works out that way. It’s almost as if nothing looks quite right unless there’s a sexy something involved.
How do you go about choosing your clothes and what inspires your outfits?
I choose my outfits based on the season, the weather, and what I’m going to do in the clothes.
At the moment I’m very inspired by my fellow fashion bloggers. I like the fact that they wear their own clothes and mix them around in new and different ways. I’m also very inspired by street style, both by outfits I see in my neighborhood and what I see on the web. Finally I find magazines a good source of inspiration, but usually what is presented within the glossy pages are beyond my means financially.
Do you take things like colour profiling or body type into account when you dress?
I find color profiling too restricting, but I definitely keep body type in mind when I’m shopping. I have an hourglass shape with a long body and short legs. Although I like my figure I have difficulty with trousers and almost everything I wear needs to have some sort of definition at the waist. Fashion is being good to me right now, but there are times when it seems like there’s nothing out there that looks good on my body type.
Would you say you have a signature style? And if yes, what are the main elements?
I wear a lot of denim. It just works for the climate and culture in Los Angeles, but I don’t think I really have a signature style. I like too many looks!
Has your style changed at all after turning 40?
Yes, I’m more confident now, and I care less and less about the “age appropriateness” of my clothing. (I was very concerned about that in my 30‘s for some reason.) I’m definitely taking more risks and enjoying clothing more now than I have since my early 20’s. It’s a personal renaissance. I love it.
Do you believe in dressing ‘age appropriately’ and what does it mean to you?
No, I don’t believe in dressing for my age. I think women should choose clothes we love that make us feel great, period. There are some trends I avoid now, like school girl looks, head-to-toe neon colors and baby doll dresses, but I’m sure there’s a forty year old woman out there somewhere who can wear them with aplomb.
Would you say that at this stage of your life you are now more, or less interested in fashion, style and the way you look?
I loved fashion as a child, and always knew I wanted to design clothing “when I grew up”. In my early twenties I was a fashion design student who lived and breathed clothing and accessories, though I didn’t have the money to purchase the designer items I loved. In my late twenties and thirties my outfits became more conservative as I moved into a career in a large corporation, and then made a U-turn to stay at home and take care of my babies. My children are older now, and as I move through my 40’s I’ve rediscovered that early love for fashion. I’m as interested in clothing now as I was in my teens.
Why is the way you look important to you?
As a designer I need to portray my abilities and interest in fashion in what I wear, but I love it too, so I would probably focus on my appearance no matter what my profession. I’m also missing the radiance of my youth. This might sound rather pathetic, but I’m sure my obsession with my appearance now has a lot to do with the nostalgia and sadness of losing that youthful bloom.
Which outfit on your site is your favorite outfit and why?
I love the outfit I wore in “ The Denim Jacket at Night ”. It was inspired by one of my favorite designers, Coco Chanel, although there isn’t a real Chanel piece on my body or in my wardrobe for that matter. It sums up everything I like in an outfit. It’s simple but interesting. It includes denim and is simultaneously glamorous and casual.
I have been amazed by your wonderful images of yourself in bikini. It’s so refreshing to see a normal 40+ year old women pose with confidence and panache in such a revealing outfit. How did you find the courage to do that and be so confident with your body?
I lost over 20 pounds last year and now weigh around 150 pounds. That’s what I weighted in my twenties before I had children. The bikini is a celebration of the joy I feel having found my youthful body again. That, and my husband really encouraged me to pose in a bikini. He seems to feel I’m really sexy and beautiful, and that makes me feel happy and confident.
Was it easy for you to pose in bikini and post these images on your blog?
It’s always pretty easy for me to pose for the camera. I started when I was a kid and I’ve always liked it. The bikini was a little harder because I really had to focus on sucking in my stomach and pulling myself up as much as my spine would allow. But you know I only chose photos that I felt were flattering, there were plenty that weren’t! Being able to choose the photos that go on my blog gives me the confidence to at least try some new things. I can always decide not to post the photos.
Have you always been so confident about your body and if not, how did you achieve it?
I was a thin child with a lot of body confidence, but as I got older I started comparing myself to the models in magazines, easy to do as a fashion design student. Although I was as tall as a model I wasn’t nearly as thin. Now that I’m older I don’t compare myself to other women the way I used to. I realize that models are thin because that’s their body type. Experience has taught me a lot. I’m not nearly as hard on myself as I used to be.
I know that you once discovered some unflattering comments about your body on a forum. Yet, I feel that may have made you even more confident and determined to be happy with your own body and show others that they can do that too. How were you able to ignore these comments and continue to post even more revealing images on your site?
When I started the blog I knew eventually someone would say something unpleasant about my style, face or figure. It’s the nature of being visible online. We’re socialized not to be rude to others, but the net creates a screen where we can be honest without anyone knowing who we are. Of course it hurt, but I have to be honest with myself. It’s going to happen. If I can’t handle it I shouldn’t have a personal style blog!
The experience has made me more confident because I want to fight back. I want women to feel like they can wear what they want, and have fun with clothing, even though others might not like it. If the worst that happens, is that some strangers say something unpleasant behind your back, well, that’s not the worst thing in the world is it?
What advice would you give to other women who suffer from poor body image or don’t feel so confident about their bodies?
Over the years I’ve learned to stop looking at my body as a list of likes and dislikes. Instead, I focus on the amazing organism my body is and the incredible things it has done, like nurture two tiny embryos into healthy babies. So if you suffer from poor body image and you want to change that, start by taking good care of yourself. Eat good quality, healthy, nutritious food. Walk or do some other form of exercise daily. Pamper your hair and skin. Have your nails done. I believe it’s only when we respect our body that we can appreciate and love ourselves.
Do you have any other style or body image tips for women over 40 that you like to share?
Focus on the details. When I was younger I didn’t care about my nails or putting on makeup unless it was a special occasion, but now I really enjoy looking my best. I feel like I need more TLC (tender love and care) now that I’m older. I take time picking out accessories and jewelry. It’s the sum off all the little things that make an outfit great. Not that I’m saying I get it right all the time! I don’t. But looking and feeling good is worth the effort.
Do you plan to continue with blogging and how do you see your blog develop over the coming years?
Yes I plan on continuing my blog for many years. I don’t know how it will evolve. Right now I’m just enjoying the process.
Anything further you would like to add?
Thank you Sylvia! It’s so exciting to be profiled on 40 plus style. I’ve learned a lot from your blog and find your articles and posts both informative and inspirational. It’s so great to meet other mature women who don’t want to throw in the towel just because we’re ignored by the fashion media.
Bonus: an interview with Heather on how she got body confident
The weather is heating up and sooner or later you will want to go to the beach or jump into a pool and wear your bathing suit. For many women this is not a pleasant thought at all!
Today I’m chatting to a woman who not only is comfortable wearing a bathing suit but did do so publicly on her blog The Style Confessions. She is not a size 0, but is proud of her fabulous body and had no qualms about showing it off in all its glory for the world to see.
I wanted to ask her in person this time how she got to be so confident about her body and what the secret is to feeling confident in your bathing suit.
We talk about finding the perfect bathing suit, how to be less self-conscious on the beach and where to shop.
Also check our recommendations for bathing suits here.
As I mentioned in a previous video, I believe that women who can wear their bathing suits confidently on the beach (no matter their size or how toned their body is) look beautiful.
The beach is all about having fun and enjoying yourself. Worrying about your body and how you look should not be a part of it.
I’m hoping that this little chat can help you in wearing your bathing suit with confidence this summer. My apologies for the lack mediocre quality and the bad lighting (which makes me look very old and tired) on the video, but I’m hoping you can see beyond that.
Some of the links mentioned in the video include

How to find your style in 10 steps
In my article How to define Style, I made an attempt at defining what style is. In this article let’s take a look at some of the things you can do to find your own personal style. If you’re thinking about how to find your style, below you will find 10 steps you can take.
What determines style?
‘Style’ is hard to define and I’ve made an attempt here, but I think we all know it when we see it. Jackie O is one example that stands out.
She developed her own unique style which was often clearly recognizable by her signature sunglasses.
One of the quotes that has defined style the best for me is this one from Gore Vidal: “Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn.”
Style is as much about knowing about yourself as well as knowing what you want to portray. If you are assured of this knowledge, other people’s opinions don’t really matter.
Have you found your own quotes that sum up style for you?
How to find that confidence in yourself and your style
Now that you’re thinking about style and what it means for you, let’s take a look at how you can really fine your own unique style.
1. Understand your body
Knowledge is power. So the first thing you need to understand is what kind of body you have and what works for you. If you have a good understanding of your body shape and your strengths and weaknesses, you can buy the right clothes to either accentuate or camouflage them. At 40plusstyle.com we work with 5 horizontal body types:
Pear
Apple
Rectangle
Hourglass
Inverted triangle
You can identify your body type by going to this page and then follow the guidelines for your specific body type.
You may also like to identify your vertical body type.
Once you have discovered your body type, you can start thinking about the desired silhouette you want to create and create a balanced outfit.

2. Understand your personality to find your style
Write down some words that describe your personality. How would you currently describe it? Do you feel that your style reflects your personality?
Have a look at various different styles. Which do appeal to you most?
If you still aren’t sure, you could take this fun style personality quiz and see your result.

3. Which colors inspire you?
Colours can also have a huge effect on your style and how you feel. Understand how certain colors make you feel. You may like to read my article on the psychology of color.
If you don’t use much color in your current style, you may start to experiment a bit by adding bits of colors through accessories and see how these make you feel.
You could, for example, simply add a bright colored bag to your everyday outfits, such as the Kate Spade tote (below).
Kate Spade New York large tote
4. Be critical of your current wardrobe
Be honest. Which garments in your closet do you REALLY like? How many of the garments have you not worn for a long time. How many were ‘mistakes’. Again, write down what didn’t work. Which clothes make you HAPPY?
Then donate or swap any items that you know don’t really work for you. They may be great pieces, but if they don’t suit YOU or your body type or create the silhouette you are after, you will not look stylish in them. Have a look at my wardrobe editing series and create a wardrobe that you love!

5. Keep a scrapbook or pin the styles that inspire you
Whenever you see others wearing clothes you admire or like, try to get a picture and paste it in a note or scrapbook or pin it on Pinterest.
After a while, you will see a pattern developing of the kind of styles that you like. Take note of that and remind yourself about this style before going for the latest fashionable trend.

6. Make sure that every item you buy FITS you
I’m sure this happened to you. You see an absolutely wonderful piece of clothing at a rock bottom price. It fits your body, style personality and creates a silhouette you like.
You try it on, but it’s just a little bit too short or too tight. You buy it anyway because the piece is so lovely and it’s cheap.
This is a big mistake. Any clothing that does not fit you properly will never look good on you.
So please beware of sales and only buy new clothes when you really adore them and they fit you properly (or that you can easily alter to fit you).

Steal her look with this similar sweater, trousers, mules and tote.
7. Keep a note book or diary of your outfits or take pictures
You may already pin images or make a scrapbook of clothes that inspire you, but when thinking about how to find your style, you should also try to really understand which clothes you actually wear make you feel GREAT!
If you felt wonderful on any particular day wearing a certain outfit, write it down. Or better even, take a picture.
I have found that taking pictures of myself is a great help in recognising which outfits worked and looked good and which ones didn’t. This will help you identify your style and prevent you from making buying mistakes.
To make the process easier, you could try a tripod so you don’t have to rely on others to take your photos for you.

8. Try to identify the components of your style and only follow the latest trends when they fit your style
True style defies fashion trends.
Although it is nice to add some trendy pieces each season, you should only go for the trends that suit you. Try to wait for a trend that suits you and then buy several pieces.
Oxana (above) adds an on-trend element to her look with her puffed sleeves.
Recreate her outfit with this similar midi dress, boots, belt, handbag, earrings and sunglasses.
9. Make sure your wardrobe contains all the necessary basics for your style
If through all of the above you got a clearer sense of what you like and what suits you, you need to determine if you have the basic essentials necessary for your particular style.
These basics will be different for all of you. Go through your inspiration book and determine the absolutely necessary essentials for your style. Here is also what some style experts have to say about your wardrobe essentials.
Also, take a look at my own ultimate checklist of 28 wardrobe essentials and see if you agree or whether you think I’ve missed anything.
Jona (above) shows how you can stylishly put together your basics by combining a blazer, white sneakers and black pants.
Check out this similar blazer, joggers, shoes, scarf and sunglasses.
10. Make your style extra special with the right statement pieces and accessories
Once you have covered the basics of your style, look for some wonderful statement pieces that are truly unique for you. Try to be creative and mix both high and low end brands together. Create something unique!
Accessories are easier to change and it’s also easier to be very creative with them. Invest in a good pair of shoes and choose the perfect hand bag for your style.
If you understand your style well, it may not be necessary at all to have many shoes or handbags.
Rather, you could focus on getting the perfect ones. One of these accessories may become part of your signature style. Something that uniquely defines you.
For example, if you like comfort but you still want to stand out from the crowd, you could choose a pair of patterned or textured sneakers.
Nikki (above) wears a monochrome outfit, but adds extra pizzazz with her headscarf and sandals.

14 sure-fire ways to hide your belly with the right clothes
Want to hide your belly and still look fabulous? Then read on! This article has plenty of ideas and tips on how to stylishly cover up a tummy.
Why would you want to hide your belly?
Many women after 40 experience weight gain on their bellies, especially after going into peri-menopause or menopause.
Your waist may disappear and you will start to develop more characteristics of the apple body shape
If you are trying to cover up a tummy, it can be easy to do the opposite and make yourself look bigger than you really are.
Thankfully there are many things you can do to hide your belly, so that it doesn’t get in the way of looking fabulously stylish!
Check out my 14 tips below on how to hide your belly with the right clothes.
Hiding your belly in spring and summer
Many of you will be heading into warmer weather now, which is something to look forward to. It can be easier to hide a belly during the cooler months when it is natural to add plenty of lovely layers too create long, sleek lines.
However, that’s not to say you can’t use many of the tricks below during warmer weather too. You can still opt for draped, asymmetrical styles, wrap styles where you can alter the belt for the most flattering effect, or long cardigans and lighter weight ruanas for an elongating effect.
You can think about wearing layers in lighter fabrics like this cardigan from Nordstrom.
Nordstrom drape front cardigan
Now, onto my 14 tips. Read on for more flattering layering tips.
1. Don’t wear tight or clingy garments over your belly and choose tops with ruching or drape
If you want to look stylish and highlight your strengths, it is best not to wear tight tops.
They will accentuate every fat bubble you have and draw attention away from you and your fabulous clothes.
Rather choose tops that have some draping or ruching.
Jenny (above) shows off a great outfit for hiding a belly which you could take inspiration from. Her top drapes over the tummy area, while wearing a moto jacket also helps to draw attention away from a belly because of the difference in lengths between the top and the jacket.
She also wears a pair of sunshine yellow shoes which draw the eye downwards.
Recreate her outfit with this similar top, jeans, moto jacket and flats.
Hide your belly with the right tops
A crossover top is very effective and this one creates asymmetrical vertical lines which is an extra bonus.
Plus, you can choose a top which comes in new season colors. There’s more inspiration in this article on the color trends for Spring and Summer 2021.
Karen Kane crossover top
Below is a draped blouse that is also effective at hiding bellies as it doesn’t cling to your tummy. It also has a flattering v-neck which can help to lengthen (rather than widen) your silhouette.

2. Wear leggings or skinnies with longer, draped or asymmetrical tops
Leggings or stretchy pants that tuck in the tummy will be your best friend.
They will fit comfortably around your belly and tuck it in a bit.
Also, with so many wonderful tunics and long tops to choose from, you will look fabulous. No-one will notice your belly!
Jennifer (above) opts for a loose tunic over her leather leggings.
Check out this tunic top from Amazon and wear it with this similar pair of leather pants, booties and hoop earrings.
For more tips and examples see how to wear leggings.
Choose the right leggings that tuck in your stomach
I personally love the leggings of Stella Carakasi.
The fabric is solid but stretchy and they are high enough so they tuck in your tummy.
You can get them cropped or in full length. The 3 buttons at the knee make them fashionable too! I wear mine for both sports and casual outfits.
Another favorite amongst my readers are the Zella Live in Leggings.
Zella high waist leggings
For a very affordable option that has 1000s of good reviews on Amazon, you can’t beat the Satina high waisted leggings.

Choose the right tunics that make you look good in your leggings or jeans!
Look out for asymmetrical tops and sweaters.
Wearing leggings underneath can let your hero pieces, like this tunic top (below) stand out.
This piece can easily be layered with a longer cardigan or shorter jacket and the pattern distracts the attention from your belly.
Leggings or tummy tuck jeans can work as part of outfits designed to hide your belly during any season.
Caslon high/low tunic
Another good option is the swing tunic top (below), which won’t cling to your belly, and has a flattering handkerchief hem.
LARACE swing tunic top
Also, check out these recommendations for the best shops for women with the apple body shape.
3. Create vertical lines to hide your belly with long cardigans, jackets and ponchos
Layering is very effective to disguise a belly and is much easier to do during fall and winter, when you will want to use layers to stay warm. You can add a cardigan or a jacket.
However, it is definitely still possible to use this technique during spring and summer depending on where you live. Rather than a coat, you could opt for a lightweight cardigan, a sleeveless vest or a kimono.
Waterfall or straight designs can both work and will create a nice vertical line which will create the illusion of length and distract the eye from your belly.
Or you could wear a block color such as navy, black or gray underneath this cardigan style below, thus creating a slimming column effect down the center of your outfit.
Andrea (above) shows how you can wear a long, lightweight kimono over her dress. This is effective in creating, long, lean lines as well as adding impact to an outfit.
Steal her look with this similar dress, kimono, sneakers and crossbody bag.
GRACE KARIN open front long cardigan
Below are more examples of outfits where you create a long lean line and hide the belly.
Layering for any season – use a long cardigan or a short jacket
Creating vertical lines with cardigans (as discussed above) works really well, but you can also wear shorter jackets to hide a tummy.
If you pop a biker jacket over a longer top, you confuse the eye so that the different hem lengths hide your belly.
Layers are definitely your friend when it comes to hiding a belly.
Design by Olivia moto jacket – RAILS button-up shirt (similar here) – AG skinny jeans – OTBT open toe bootie – 153corp crossbody bag
Below, the longline cardigan will create nice long lines and the scarf and earrings draw the eye to your face and away from your belly.
Caslon long cardigan – Made By Johnny swing tunic top – Vince Camuto skinny jeans – Toni Pons wedge sandal – JNB envelope clutch – Meliflous Designed in Spain lightweight scarf – ZENZII acrylic drop earrings
The longer your cardigan, the longer and leaner you will appear, although you usually don’t want to go longer than 2/3 from the height of your shoulders to the bottom.
Short straight cardigans will hide your belly too, but will have an overall more boxy silhouette so you need to be more careful when styling these.
You can layer in summer and winter
You can still layer in spring and summer, you just need to choose lighter fabrics.
Instead of a cardigan you can also choose a vest. A long vest is perfect for creating long, lean vertical lines, but you can opt for shorter waterfall vest too.
Layer your (sleeveless) top with a sleeveless vest. This vest cardigan from Amazon can be combined with many tops and will look great over skinny pants and jeans.
It has the benefit of being asymmetrical too which makes it even more flattering.
MBJ front drape vest cardigan
For more options on wearing vests you may like to check out this article for lots of options on how to wear a long vest.
Below is an option showing how you could wear this, in a slightly different color pathway.
Tonal shades can be great for giving you a longer, slimmer look.
You can see you can still add a layer for your spring and summer outfits.
MBJ front drape vest cardigan – Caslon V-neck shirt – 1822 Denim bermuda shorts – Toni Pons wedge sandal – Mali + Lili woven crossbody bag (similar here) – Kendra Scott tassel necklace – Gas Bijoux cuff (similar here)
Sleeveless vests work well for all seasons.
Read our article on the best shops for the apple body shape.
If you are in warmer climes or heading off on vacation, you could also use a very lightweight cover-up such as the examples below.
Rebecca Minkoff paisley ruana
For a pop of color, how about this long chiffon cardigan (below) which would look beautiful worn over block colors.
SweatyRocks printed kimono
4. Don’t emphasize your tummy by adding accessories like belts right on top of them, rather belt higher
When choosing a coat, top or cardigan, you don’t have to avoid belts altogether.
Simply make sure that the belt sits a bit higher, so you aren’t drawing attention to your belly at its widest point.
Again, patterns can help to take attention away from a larger tummy too and in combination this can do the trick.
Play around with where and how you fasten your belt to see what looks most flattering for you.
Nikki (above) looks great in her striped wrap top.
Check out these striped belted tops from Parker and AOMEI, and wear with this similar jeans, sandals and earrings.
Below are more belted options for you.
Romwe belted peplum blouse
ACEVOG drape cardigan
5. Dresses that hide belly bulge – Choose dresses that don’t cling and/or have a draping element
Make sure that your dresses don’t cling around the tummy area. Dresses with a draping element around the tummy area often work.
Asymmetrical dresses work well too as they draw attention away from the belly and create a vertical line.
Dresses that don’t cling and which also have patterns are also great to hide the tummy area.
Hailey (above) shows lots of techniques you could use to hide a tummy. Her dress has an elongating v-neck as well as pattern to confuse the eye. She belts below her bust and her bright lipstick and earrings draw the eye upwards to her face. She also makes her legs look longer by wearing shoes in a similar color to her skintone.
Recreate her outfit with this similar dress, sandals and clutch.
The dress below is draped just right to draw attention away from the belly and creating flattering vertical lines.
If you add a statement necklace at the top, you will further distract the eye from the belly area as the eye will be drawn upwards.
Karen Kane faux wrap dress

6. Wear tops over your skirts and pants and don’t tuck them
Tucking draws attention to your (non-existing waist again) so better to avoid that.
This is because if you tuck in your shirt, you will create a line across your tummy at its widest part.
Instead, leave your top outside of your skirt or pants.
However, pay attention to overall balance and don’t let your top end at the widest point of your hips, as that may also be unflattering.
A short blouse that loosely falls on your tummy will work really well for many women.
Sarah (above) wears her tunic top over her jeans.
Recreate her outfit with this similar printed top, jeans, sandals and crossbody bag.
HOTAPEI wrap V-neck blouse
Left: Karen Kane tie neck bell sleeve top, blouse Right: cropped top, white cigarette pants, Fly London sandals
You’ll notice that my cropped top ends at my waist drawing the attention there and not at my tummy area.
The asymmetrical hem and the fact that I just wear one column of color underneath further enhances that look.
7. Flattering clothes for big stomach – Don’t wear garments that are bulky around the tummy area
You don’t want to make that area even bigger with pockets or other embellishments.
However, a vertical loose drape like this cardigan below could work as it elongates and does a good job at hiding.
FLORIA open front drape cardigan
8. What to wear to hide a big stomach – Choose asymmetrical tops to hide your belly
Asymmetrical tops create vertical and diagonal lines and break up your silhouette so they are great for disguising tummies.
Deborah (above) wears an asymmetrical maxi dress with a long vest.
Get her look with this similar maxi dress, vest and booties.
You could also add a poncho over the top of your outfit like the one from Amazon (below) which is available in a huge choice of colors.
Fomolom poncho sweater
For summer, you could choose an asymmetrical sleeveless or short-sleeve top.
Karen Kane asymmetrical hem tie dye tank
Great shops for asymmetrical items include:
Nordstrom
Eileen Fisher
Stella Carakasi
You can find many more asymmetrical tops and dresses here.
9. Use pants that tuck the tummy in
The pants you wear can make a huge difference to how big your belly will appear.
Be mindful of not buying pants that end at the middle of your belly and create a huge bulge.
Instead you want to wear pants that have a higher rise and hat are capable of tucking your tummy in.
Fee (above) chooses a well-fitting pair of black pants, and adds impact to her neckline with a statement necklace in bright red.
Check out this similar pair of pants from FRAME, blouse, mules and necklace.
Find out what are the best tummy control jeans in stores now.
I already mentioned some of my favorite leggings that are strong enough to do this under #2 above, but skinny pants can do this job too.
You can also consider tummy tucking jeans. Some of these jeans have an elastic waistband, and some have a regular fastening but are made from stretchier fabric with clever control panels.
SPANX jean-ish leggings

10. Use tops with prints
Prints are very effective in hiding bellies and you should definitely consider adding a few in your wardrobe.
If you combine a printed top with one of our belly hiding tips above, no-one will notice your tummy!
Steph (above) has featured a number of “belly hiding” techniques in her outfit above. Her loose top features a polka dot pattern while her necklace and earrings make sure attention is on her face rather than the tummy area.
Recreate her outfit with this similar top, cardigan, jeans, shoes and necklace.
I’m also currently loving this printed top from Amazon (below). It’s great to wear on its own, doesn’t cling and can easily be layered with a jacket or cardigan too.
LARACE 3/4 sleeve tunic top
11. Use shapewear
Of course, shapewear like these shorts that tuck the tummy, is very effective too in hiding the belly but, as I personally find it uncomfortable, I only use it for very special events.
SPANX shaping briefs
For options on shapewear please read my article on the best shapewear for women over 40.
12. Highlight something else
When you think about how to hide your belly, it’s easy to become so focused on doing that you forget about everything else.
You may not be confident about your tummy, but what about the parts of your body that you do like?
Could you show off some cleavage, highlight your shoulders or showcase your lovely legs?
Venetia (above) shows off her lovely décolletage with a flattering v-neck, stripe dress.
Check out this similar dress, sandals, handbag and earrings.
The top below for example, shows off one shoulder and draws the attention away from the tummy.
Treasure & Bond one-shoulder pullover
If you like your legs, you could place the focus there instead of your tummy. That doesn’t mean wearing a mini skirt, but you could wear some lovely printed jeans to show your legs and a plain top so that the eye is drawn to your legs rather than your belly.
Or, rather than drawing the eye up, you could draw it down (or, of course, you could do both). A pair of bright shoes or on-trend booties will put the attention on your feet and legs rather than your tummy.
It’s all about hiding what you don’t like and drawing attention to what you do like.
Dr. Scholl’s sneaker
Chinese Laundry bootie
13. Think about where your sleeves end
When you are thinking about hiding a tummy, you are probably focused on whether your top or dress drapes over your belly area or whether it clings.
However, don’t forget about your sleeves. If your sleeves end right at the point where your belly is at its widest, you will only draw attention to this area.
Look instead for sleeves which end above your belly or below at your hips. The right sleeve length for you will depend on your arm length and where your belly is biggest.
Jona (above) opts for sleeves which end just below the bust.
Recreate her outfit with this similar top, wide leg pants, booties, sunglasses and finish the look with a Gucci crossbody bag.
Halogen V-neck top
14. Choose flattering brands
It goes without saying that some stores and brands are more focused towards women with supermodel-type figures, while others are better at designing for women who want to skim over certain parts of the body.
Some of my favorite brands which create clothes to hide a belly are.
Chaus
NYDJ
Karen Kane
Alex Evenings
Eileen Fisher
Stella Carakasi
Eileen Fisher dress
15. Use accessories to hide your belly
I’m not suggesting you carry a handbag in front of your tummy to hide it! However, accessories can be a great tool to hide or distract from your belly.
You could, for example, wear a colorful scarf to draw the attention upwards to your face. Or, you can leave your scarf loose so it drapes down and creates a column effect to disguise your tummy. Statement necklaces are another good way to draw the attention upwards.
Kylie (above) adds a bright, colorful scarf to her shorts and sweater outfit.
Recreate her outfit with this similar blouse, shorts, sneakers, scarf and sunglasses.
153corp crossbody bag – JNB envelope clutch – Mali + Lili woven crossbody bag – Lock and Love pashmina scarf – Halogen panama hat – Halogen drop earrings – AllSaints link necklace
You could also draw the eye upwards with your earrings or a stylish hat.
When it comes to your handbags, think about where they sit when you carry them. If, for example, you have a shoulder strap bag which ends at your belly, this will draw the attention there.
Choose a bag which sits further up or further down, or a bag that you carry in your hand as you can draw attention to your lovely legs. Don’t opt for a bag which is too small as this will look out of proportion.

How to wear capris and cropped pants – an extensive guide!
Capris and cropped pants are notoriously hard to wear and they can be unflattering on many women. Yet shops are currently full of these cropped pants and the trend is continuing into summer 2020 with wider cropped pants getting increasingly popular. Should you wear them anyway? And if yes, how can you wear capris?
How to wear capris: Why can capri pants be unflattering?
Capris are cropped pants that stop above the ankle but usually well below the knee. They are different from cropped pants like bermudas which stop above the calf and are less challenging to wear.
First and foremost the give the effect of shortening your legs! For almost all women a silhouette with a longer leg line is more flattering.
They can highlight chunky calves as they are likely to end at this part of your leg. The eye will be drawn to where the hem on your capris ends.
So why are cropped pants so on trend right now?
Gucci – Paco Rabanne – Chloé
Figure flattery is usually not on top of the list of designer’s priorities so here are some of the reasons:
The overall look of capris tends to be quite trendy
They are playful and geeky
They can be sexy too with the revealing of the ankle bone
They look fabulous with booties, which are still very much on trend this year.
They are more associated with fun and style
They keep you cooler in summer
You can see (above) how designers are interpreting the capris trend for spring and summer 2020. Paco Rabanne opted for a 70s feel, while other designers, including Chloé and Gucci chose a wider leg style.
How to wear capris?
If you like the trendy and playful vibe of capris and decide to wear them, how can you do so while maintaining a flattering silhouette?
Here are some guidelines for wearing capri pants for women that will help.
1. Make sure your capris are tapered.
If they follow the natural leg line they will look much better. If you like the look of wide trousers (I do) then go for a full leg, but for cropped pants and capris I stay to a very tight leg line.
2. Wear higher heels.
One way to overcome the leg shortening effect is to wear higher heels. Wide cropped pants especially look better with heels.
3. Try to create a rule of thirds with your dressing.
Your top part is usually 1/3 and your bottom part 2/3 when putting together an outfit which follows this flattering guideline.
But you can also create a 2/3 top 1/3 bottom silhouette.
You achieve the 1/3-2/3 look by tucking in your top of the cropped pants. I also like to wear my capris with a long tunic or dress which creates the 2/3-1/3 silhouette.
4. Think carefully about your shoe choice
If there is not too much contrast between your shoes and your legs, your legs will appear longer. Shoes without straps are more leg lengthening as well.
I don’t always follow this “rule” so much myself as I prefer my high heel shoes with straps. I feel this still works when I wear heels, but if your legs are very short you may want to avoid straps at your ankle.
5. Higher booties are very effective with cropped pants.
This is a good way to prevent the shortening effect of cropped pants, especially if you choose them in the same color as your pants.
Deborah (above) shows the leg lengthening effect of heeled booties in the same color as her cropped pants.
Recreate her look with this similar top (plain option), capris, booties and earrings.
6. Wear a shorter top.
When wearing cropped pants that are flared or wider, be sure to wear a shorter top. High waisted cropped pants look fabulous with tops that end at the waist.
Wearing a shorter top will ensure that your legs look longer.
For more tips read this article on how to wear wide cropped jeans.
Who should not wear capris or cropped pants?
Of course everyone can wear them, but if you like to have a flattering silhouette I would advise on not wearing capris when:
You have very short legs.
Your legs are proportionally short to the rest of your body and you’re not wearing heels or a very short top.
For more information on this type of body shape, look at this piece on vertical body types.
In principle though, almost everyone can wear capris or cropped pants so long as you take your body into account and make adjustments accordingly to create the silhouette that flatters your body and proportions.
The length of your capri trousers is important
There’s no one size fits all when it comes to dressing for you. And, this is important to take into account when looking for a pair of capris. Just a few inches can make a big difference to how flattering your capris look on you.

Where should your cropped pants end?
You need to find a pair which stop at the slimmest part of your leg, as this will be what is highlighted with your capri pants. Effectively, capris draw a line across the leg and draw the eye there.
For you, it may be just below, or just above, the widest part of your calf. You may decide on a pair of capris or a pair of slightly longer cropped pants, depending on what the best length is for you.
The best women’s cropped pants and capris
Now that you are thinking about what will be the most flattering option for you, below you will find some of my favorite capris to choose from this season.
1. Black capri s
If you love the look of a pair of black capris as much as I do, you might like this pair from one of my favorite jeans brands, Eileen Fisher.

2. Jean capris
Skinny jeans have been on trend for many seasons, and they are still a stylish option, but bootcuts and flares are also making a style comeback this year.
A pair of cropped flare jeans is a flattering option, particularly if you wear with heels.
FRAME mini boot jeans
3. Women’s cargo capris
A pair of cargo capris could be a good addition to your vacation closet. You could wear with walking shoes for sightseeing, or heeled sandals for evening. Or, of course, with sneakers and a t-shirt for a casual look.

4. White capris
Do you like the look of white capris? They can be a great style staple for your summer closet.
NYDJ straight leg capri jeans
5. Colorful women’s ankle length pants
A pair of colorful cropped pants in a bright shade such as red can be a lovely way to update your neutrals during cooler weather, and into spring and summer.

Halogen crop pants
6. Wide leg capris
Despite their leg-shortening characteristics, I have embraced wide cropped pants for a few of my own looks. Wearing them is even more challenging than normal cropped pants but what all my looks have in common is that I keep my top short in the front or tucked in.

7. Linen capris
As many of you will soon (hopefully) be heading into warmer weather, a pair of linen capris can be the start of a great outfit, either for casual days at home or on vacation.
Theory crop trousers
8. Denim capris
Just like black and white capri pants, denim capris can be a very versatile option that you can wear with anything from sneakers to sandals.

9. Patterned women’s capris
Of course, you don’t have to stick to plain, block colors. A pair of patterned pants can add interest to your outfit. You could always print mix or choose a plain color top.
J.Crew leopard print chino crop pants
10. Stripe capris
Stripes are always a timeless option when it comes to choosing a print. You could easily style a pair of striped capris in many different ways – with a tee and sneakers, a camisole and sandals, or a blouse and pumps.

When choosing tops to style with your capris, think about shirts you can tuck in, or tops which are fairly short and will make your legs look longer.

Sweaters and cardigans to wear with capris
You could opt for a number of sweater styles with your capris, but be careful about where your sweater ends. A sweater which ends at your hips will effectively cut your body in half, which isn’t usually flattering.
Instead try a cropped style – you could always wear it over a longer shirt – or choose a longer style of open cardigan to create slimming, long lines.

Jackets to wear with capris
Cropped or short jackets can be a flattering style with your capris as they can make your legs look longer in comparison with your torso.

What to wear with your capris? More inspiration
To give you some more ideas on how you can wear capris and cropped pants I will show you some of mine.
These images are older, but I thought I would still include them here as they illustrate how timeless cropped pants looks can be. I still wear many of these outfits.
This outfit (below) is one of my favorite ways to wear capris. I like the 2/3 – 1/3 silhouette it creates and capris certainly make this a more trendy look.
Wear women’s capris with a short or tucked in top
Capris usually look good with a funky top tucked into your trousers.
You can simply tuck it or, if you need to hide a belly, can wear a longer top underneath in the color of your cropped pants. This will still give you a flattering silhouette.

Cropped flare pants
These (below) are my favorite cropped pants right now. They are my cropped flare jeans by Paige. I wear these with longer tops and shorter ones, with jackets and without.
They look great with different types of shoes too.
For more of my favorite jeans brands check out my article on how to wear jeans over 40.
I feel that is essential with wider cropped pants like these ones (above and below) to opt for a shorter top in order to keep a streamlined and flattering silhouette. Cropped pants will always be more challenging to wear than full-length pants and wider cropped pants are even more so.
What you want to do, is to try and achieve the right balance within your outfit to come closer to the golden ratio in dressing and create a balance that comes close to 1/3 – 2/3 (a concept I explain in a lot more detail in my style course ).
That way you can achieve an overall silhouette that is at least flattering enough and will allow you to wear outfits that are currently fashionable or just fun to wear.
Skinny cropped pants
Below are a few more examples of how I have worn capris and cropped pants recently and in the past.
My white Zara cropped pants are still going strong. Here worn with my new Rollie shoes which are super light weigh (highly recommended).
With longer tops
With a simple top
Capris combined with jackets
White capris
Black capris
Cropped leggings
These look best with a wider and long top and can be very flattering. They are perfect for warmer weather.
These Second Nature Capri leggings from Stella Carakasi are super fab. Not too thin and very stretchy and comfortable. They are also great for tucking in your tummy. Take a look at how to hide your belly with the right clothes for more tips on this.
You can pair these leggings with one of their asymmetrical tops and a long camisole.
For more tips on wearing leggings, check the article how to wear leggings after 40.
Some final thoughts about capri trousers
Right now you can wear pants in all sorts of styles and lengths.
Currently in 2020, cropped pants are still very much on trend and many of my pants are now cropped in some ways.
Please bear in mind ladies that all these are just guidelines. Always let your eyes be the judge of whether the outfit with capris looks good on you. Some of you may even be able to rock your capris outfits without following any of these suggestions.
And if you are in a a funky mood or just want to have fun with your clothing and don’t mind forfeiting the perfect silhouette, then that’s fine too. These guidelines will just let you be aware of the challenges of wearing capris so that you can work with those and make it work!
While doing this exercise myself, I actually discovered some fun new combinations in my cupboard as well. Why don’t you do the same and shop your closet to see if you can come up with some great capris outfits!

How to wear red – your comprehensive guide on wearing the color of love!
I often talk about adding more color to your wardrobe. In this article, I will be looking at how to wear red in many different ways with plenty of red outfit ideas.
Red, the color of love, looks fabulous year round – whether heading towards the festive season, wearing for a date, or pairing with fresh colors for a vacation (if you’re lucky enough to manage one this year!)
You’ll find plenty of my own outfit ideas and also how you can find your right shade of red.
How to wear red
The color red is especially good for women with a warm skin tone like myself, as it brightens up your complexion and makes you shine even more.
However, even if you have a cooler skin tone, you can still wear this color and look amazing. No matter what your skin tone, there’s the perfect shade of red.
Red makes an impact. When you wear red, people will notice you. Red is also a very versatile color. Easy to combine with black, white, blue, camel and so many other colors.
I’m growing ever more fond of red and have learned to embrace the color for myself.
You can can wear red in a subtle way by wearing a red accessory or you can make a bolder statement with the color. Whatever your comfort zone with the color red, there is a way to add this color to your wardrobe for everyone.
Let’s explore all the different ways on how you can wear red!
Wearing a bold color like red with just one other color is your easiest option and one of the nicest and easiest options by far is to pair it with white. It’s also one of my favorite combinations.
Red outfit ideas from the runways
Red is always on trend no matter what the season. For winter and fall 2020, there was plenty of red on the runways. You can see more color trends in this article.
Alexander McQueen – Rodarte – Valentino
Red clothes to choose in stores now
Take a look below at some of the most stylish red clothes to choose. Continue reading for red outfit ideas, including colors that compliment red.
The perfect red top
Wearing a red top is my most used choice for wearing red. Nothing brightens my face and makes me come more alive than wearing red close to my face. I have several red tops in several colors that I wear with both pants and skirts.
You could easily wear the red top below with your white or blue jeans.

Colors that compliment red: Red and white

A refreshing red and white look for spring and summer.
You can also wear this color combination during transitional weather.
This is one of my favorite skirts and it combines with a lot of my tops like this white top from CK Calvin Klein.
You can do the reverse if you do like to have red close to your face as I do as it brightens up my complexion. Same sophistication, just slightly different.
White and red works well in a print too.
Red is the perfect color to make a white dress more interesting and vibrant.
Colors that match with red: Red and gold
For more glamour add a bit of gold into the mix!
Red skirt outfit
All red outfits
Sometimes you just want to stand out and nothing shows more confidence to the world than an all-red outfit.
Red and brown
I love red with brown and (animal) print.
Red and blue
Red and blue is another versatile combination. Instead of a skirt, opt for some great blue jeans! A very traditional and always chic combination is red with blue and white. It creates a marine look that is always in style.
Red blouse outfit
A chic color twist on my favorite asymmetric pieces.
Red and purple
More unusual is red with purple, but it is actually a really good combination as this look shows.
Red, white and black/gray
Black and white always works well with red and creates a more graphical look.
Red, fuchsia and gray
A more unusual combination for an arty look.
Burgundy with orange
A beautiful color combination with the colors of fall.
Add a print into the mix!
Adding a third color will often make your outfit more interesting and dynamic. This will be further enhance if you add some print as well. You can do that within your clothing or with an accessory or shoe.
A chic floral jacket with jeans.
Do you find it hard to wear red? Try accessories!
If red is normally not your color or you are afraid to stand out, then opt for a red accessory. It often really brightens up your outfit and adds extra interest.
Wear red sunglasses
Comfortable and chic.
Add a red hat or some red lipstick
Add a red bag as a color accent
Soft green with red.
Look how much more fun and interesting this outfit is with the addition of a red bag!
Adding red accessories is also a great tactic when you want to wear clothes that are not necessarily the best color for you. Wearing the gray without the red would be too bland for me.
Add a necklace with a red color accent
Sometimes all you need is a red necklace or pendant.
Add a red scarf
Add some red shoes
I wear my red shoes a LOT. It’s so easy to make a neutral outfit more interesting by adding some red shoes!
I hope this guide on how to wear red has given you some inspiration to wear this color! Perhaps you like to give it a go if you don’t normally wear it. Or you may try to wear it in a different combination from what you normally do.

How to wear printed pants in a casual chic way
Printed pants are very much on trend this summer. But how to wear printed pants in a way which is chic and stylish rather than being overwhelming?
How to wear printed pants
Printed pants were seen on many of the designer runways this season, and they are fun to wear.
However, I do see these pants as a trend that is not exactly within my personal style personality which is why I only own one pair of patterned pants.
Below are some of the printed pants styles seen on this season’s catwalks, varying from tropical prints, to glamorous florals through to retro styles with more than a nod to the 70s.
Dolce & Gabbana – Dries Van Noten – Paco Rabanne – Marc Jacobs
Choosing the right printed pants for you
You may already love print pants, or you may not yet have a pair in your closet.
But, even if you’ve never worn printed pants, you are sure to be able to find a print which suits you.
If you love florals and have a romantic style personality, you could opt for beautiful flowers on your patterned pants, whereas if you have more of a classic style, you could choose polka dots, for example.
If your style tends to be more contemporary, then a striped or geometric pair might be for you, while if you love your style to have an edgier feel, you could choose an animal print.
There are so many options in so many different prints at the moment. And, the great thing is, they’re all on trend, so it really doesn’t matter which print you pick.
Tips for wearing printed pants
To ensure that you look fabulous in your patterned pants, below are some of the factors to consider when choosing a pair of printed trousers, or putting together an outfit from your closet.
Erica (above) adds color to her look by wearing stripe pants featuring yellow and blue. She opts for a classic way to wear printed pants by choosing a top which picks out one of the colors in her trousers.
Recreate her outfit with this similar top, belted pants, ankle strap sandals, necklace and earrings.
1. Printed pants are fabulous for summer
Of course, you can wear printed pants whenever you want to, at any time of year. But, they are a style which particularly lend themselves to the summer months. Add a pair of sandals and a tank top and you’re ready to go.
2. Color coordinate
An easy way to make sure your bold pants outfit looks coherent is to ensure you are coordinating your colors. Pick one color in your pants and use this shade for you top. You could pick another color for your shoes and accessories.
3. If in doubt, wear with a plain top
If you ever aren’t sure what to wear with your printed pants, the easiest look to create is to wear a solid color top.
4. Keep the size of the print in mind
One of the reasons that printed pants can be tricky to wear is because of the type and size of print you may choose. You can go big and bold, but you could find your pants look like they are wearing you rather than the other way round.
Big prints can also draw the eye across, making you look wider than you are. One print you could choose if you are concerned about this is a vertical stripe, or you could choose a smaller print such as a small polka dot.
5. Pattern mixing
If you do decide to go bold with your pants, you could create a real statement with your whole outfit by pattern mixing. For tips on which patterns and prints go with each other take a look at how to print mix like a pro.
6. Keep your whole look balanced
As with any outfit, it’s important to think about creating a flattering silhouette. Many printed pants come in wide, flowy styles, meaning you are likely to look better with a more fitted top. Or, if you opt for skinny, printed jeans, you could choose a wider tunic, for example.
15 of the best printed pants & trousers to choose from
Now that you are thinking about the type, color and style of printed pants you may like, below are 15 of my favorites in stores now. While I only have one pair of printed pants in my closet at the moment, these may persuade me to add another!
1. Plaid pants
I always think plaid pants come into their own for fall and winter, when they look great teamed with rich autumnal shades and a pair of booties.
But, there are also plenty of stylish summer options out there, as demonstrated perfectly by Psyche (above). I love the way she has added a fresh pop of color to her outfit with her low-heeled pumps.
Get her look with this Gucci bag, similar one shoulder top, pants and sandals.
I would simply choose a lighter weight fabric, rather than the heavier wool-blend you are likely to wear in winter, and opt for softer colors or a softer, more flowing shape such as a wide-legged style.
Rather than a traditional plaid, you could think about a windowpane or gingham check.

2. Geometric printed trousers
If you aren’t one for florals or more romantic patterns, you could always choose a geometric shape, which will sit well with your style if you have a Eurochic or an architectural style personality.
On the other hand, if you have more of a glam style personality, you may like a more flamboyant print.

3. Striped pants
I love the look of striped pants right now. These are a great option if you aren’t keen on florals or swirling prints.

4. Floral pants
Floral pants are a classic style for summer vacations. But, if you opt for a style with a darker background, you will also find your pants are easy to take from day to evening.
You would wear with sandals for day, or you could add heels and a silk tank or shirt with a blazer for evening.
Danielle (above) wears a lovely pair of wide-legged floral printed pants and adds a moto jacket for extra warmth.

5. Printed skinny jeans
If you live in jeans, you don’t have to give them up in favor of printed pants.
There are plenty of jean options right now which have a print.

6. Gingham pants
Sally (above) displays a lesson in perfect print mixing. She mixes checks, stripes and florals. However, her outfit remains harmonious because she sticks to a color palette.
Check out this similar shirt, pants, jacket, slingback pumps and handbag.

7. Summer print trousers
One of the biggest trends seen on the catwalks for summer 2020 was tropical and palm prints. You could always keep the rest of your outfit neutral and pair with black or white.

8. Leopard pants
When you think about using print, leopard print is one of those all-time classics that will always remain on trend.
Jenny (above) teams her leopard print pants with a denim shirt and sneakers for a stylish, casual look.

Polka dots are another print that is always on-trend, so you can be sure you will wear your polka dot pants for many years to come.

Check out this similar denim jacket, wide leg pants and sneakers.

11. Beach pants

There are more flattering beach cover-up ideas in this article.

12. Linen pants
If you’re looking for a pair of printed pants for summer, linen is always a great option.

A pair of printed palazzo pants is a very versatile option for your closet.
For summer, these could be a good vacation buy, but you could also dress them up for a more formal event by teaming them with heels and a stylish blazer.
Arolina wide leg palazzo lounge pants
13. Printed silk blend pants
Silk, or a silk blend is another lovely fabric choice to stay cool during the summer. Melinda (above) chooses a stylish pants/skirt hybrid.
Recreate her outfit with this similar turtleneck top, blazer, printed pants and sandals.
Rebecca Taylor paisley fleur silk blend pants
15. Satin pants
For a more formal look, how about a pair of satin printed pants. If you are looking for an outfit for a special occasion, you would always choose a pair of patterned pants rather than a dress or skirt.
Lafayette 148 New York floral satin wide leg pants
Patterned pants are a versatile option
The great thing about printed pants is that they are such a versatile option to add to your closet.
You could wear a pair of print pants and a blazer to work. Or, you can choose a pair to wear on the beach over your swimsuit on vacation.
Or, you can wear at a formal summer event. You could, for example, choose a beautiful floral pair of pants and team with heels and a silk top to wear at a wedding or a day at the races. They can be a stylish alternative to a dress.
What to wear with your print pants
Obviously, you need a top to go with your print pants. And, there are really two ways you can go. You can either opt for a plain top and let your pants do the talking.
Or, you can choose a patterned top, and have fun with some print mixing.
Kim (above) shows how perfectly a white t-shirt can go with printed pants.
You can try out these satin pants from Lafayette 148 New York and wear with this similar shirt and bag.

the outfits below are past season, but you can see that printed pants are a timeless buy as these would all look just as hip now.
Read our ultimate guide to creating a capsule wardrobe that works best for you.
In summary here are some brief guidelines on how to wear printed pants
Smaller or more one toned prints are easier to wear and combine. These kind of pants can also easily be mixed with other prints on top.
The smaller the print, the more slimming the look.
A great way to wear printed pants is wear a neutral one color top. It is my preferred way to wear printed pants.
Printed pants can easily be dressed up or down. Just wear a t-shirt for a very casual look or a fancier top and blazer for a more chic look.
Cropped printed pants look great with heels to elongate the legs.
If you are afraid of tiring of the print too quickly, buy reversible pants!

How to wear red – your comprehensive guide on wearing the color of love!
I often talk about adding more color to your wardrobe. In this article, I will be looking at how to wear red in many different ways with plenty of red outfit ideas.
Red, the color of love, looks fabulous year round – whether heading towards the festive season, wearing for a date, or pairing with fresh colors for a vacation (if you’re lucky enough to manage one this year!)
You’ll find plenty of my own outfit ideas and also how you can find your right shade of red.
How to wear red
The color red is especially good for women with a warm skin tone like myself, as it brightens up your complexion and makes you shine even more.
However, even if you have a cooler skin tone, you can still wear this color and look amazing. No matter what your skin tone, there’s the perfect shade of red.
Red makes an impact. When you wear red, people will notice you. Red is also a very versatile color. Easy to combine with black, white, blue, camel and so many other colors.
I’m growing ever more fond of red and have learned to embrace the color for myself.
You can can wear red in a subtle way by wearing a red accessory or you can make a bolder statement with the color. Whatever your comfort zone with the color red, there is a way to add this color to your wardrobe for everyone.
Let’s explore all the different ways on how you can wear red!
Wearing a bold color like red with just one other color is your easiest option and one of the nicest and easiest options by far is to pair it with white. It’s also one of my favorite combinations.
Red outfit ideas from the runways
Red is always on trend no matter what the season. For winter and fall 2020, there was plenty of red on the runways. You can see more color trends in this article.
Alexander McQueen – Rodarte – Valentino
Red clothes to choose in stores now
Take a look below at some of the most stylish red clothes to choose. Continue reading for red outfit ideas, including colors that compliment red.
The perfect red top
Wearing a red top is my most used choice for wearing red. Nothing brightens my face and makes me come more alive than wearing red close to my face. I have several red tops in several colors that I wear with both pants and skirts.
You could easily wear the red top below with your white or blue jeans.

Red sweater
As the weather starts to cool, a cozy sweater is one of life’s essentials. Red adds a pop of color even on the dreariest of days.

A red blazer is a great option for adding style and color to even the simplest of outfits. Opt for an open, single-breasted or a belted style.

Also, take a look at how to wear a coat.

Red outfits for women: More examples on how to wear red
Below you will find even more inspiration on how to wear red with lots of my own outfits, including suggestions on the colors that go best with red:
Colors that compliment red: Red and white
A loose cropped red top from Stella Carakasi which you can layer with tops underneath.
A refreshing red and white look for spring and summer.
You can also wear this color combination during transitional weather.
This is one of my favorite skirts and it combines with a lot of my tops like this white top from CK Calvin Klein.
You can do the reverse if you do like to have red close to your face as I do as it brightens up my complexion. Same sophistication, just slightly different.
White and red works well in a print too.
Red is the perfect color to make a white dress more interesting and vibrant.
Colors that match with red: Red and gold
For more glamour add a bit of gold into the mix!
Red skirt outfit
All red outfits
Sometimes you just want to stand out and nothing shows more confidence to the world than an all-red outfit.
Red and brown
I love red with brown and (animal) print.
Red and blue
Red and blue is another versatile combination. Instead of a skirt, opt for some great blue jeans! A very traditional and always chic combination is red with blue and white. It creates a marine look that is always in style.
Red blouse outfit
A chic color twist on my favorite asymmetric pieces.
Red and purple
More unusual is red with purple, but it is actually a really good combination as this look shows.
Red, white and black/gray
Black and white always works well with red and creates a more graphical look.
Red, fuchsia and gray
A more unusual combination for an arty look.
Burgundy with orange
A beautiful color combination with the colors of fall.
Add a print into the mix!
Adding a third color will often make your outfit more interesting and dynamic. This will be further enhance if you add some print as well. You can do that within your clothing or with an accessory or shoe.
A chic floral jacket with jeans.
Do you find it hard to wear red? Try accessories!
If red is normally not your color or you are afraid to stand out, then opt for a red accessory. It often really brightens up your outfit and adds extra interest.
Wear red sunglasses
Comfortable and chic.
Add a red hat or some red lipstick
Add a red bag as a color accent
Soft green with red.
Look how much more fun and interesting this outfit is with the addition of a red bag!
Adding red accessories is also a great tactic when you want to wear clothes that are not necessarily the best color for you. Wearing the gray without the red would be too bland for me.
Add a necklace with a red color accent
Sometimes all you need is a red necklace or pendant.
Add a red scarf
Add some red shoes
I wear my red shoes a LOT. It’s so easy to make a neutral outfit more interesting by adding some red shoes!
I hope this guide on how to wear red has given you some inspiration to wear this color! Perhaps you like to give it a go if you don’t normally wear it. Or you may try to wear it in a different combination from what you normally do.

How to wear white pants: inspiration and ideas
I love wearing white. I find it such a fresh, modern and easy to combine color, that white pants have become the ultimate basic in my wardrobe.
If I don’t know what to wear, I grab one of my pairs of white pants and either combine them with a top, dress, blouse or jacket. Here is my updated overview on how to wear white pants and how I wear mine many different ways!
In this article, you’ll find my favorite styles of white pants, the best white pants in stores now and plenty of outfit ideas and colors to wear with your white pants.
White cigarette pants
My white cigarette pants are my staple. They look good with almost anything and I wear them with short dresses, tunics, short tops, blouses etc. They look good with a variety of shoes too.
I paired my cigarette pants above with a polkatdot top. Want to have lots more inspiration on wearing polkadots? See our ideas on wearing polkadots this summer.

Wide legged pants
Wider pants are back on trend and I’m loving mine. These look particularly good with short tops as you want to make sure to still show your figure in white pants.
A loose wide top going to your hips is not recommended but a longer tunic that is belted at the waist can look really good!

I wear them in casual situations and in the evening.

Don’t be afraid that white makes you look bigger, but instead focus on finding the perfect fit for your body type. Play with different tops and shapes or try wearing tunics or short dress over your pants.
White is such a great versatile color especially in summer. Give it a try and mix with clothes from your wardrobe.

Style icon Iris Apfel
Iris Apfel is in the news so often these days that I thought it’s high time for us all to get to know her better and profile her on this site. She is a perfect example of how you can still be very active and hip at old age. It’s hard to believe that Iris Apfel is already 91 years old!
Born Iris Barrel in Astoria, Queens, New York, Apfel is the only child of Samuel Barrel, whose family owned a glass-and-mirror business, and his Russian-born wife, Sadye, who owned a fashion boutique. She studied art history at New York University and attended art school at the University of Wisconsin. As a young woman, Apfel worked for Women’s Wear Daily and for interior designer Elinor Johnson.

In 1948, she married Carl Apfel who is still her husband. Two years later they launched the textile firm Old World Weavers and ran it until they retired in 1992. During this time, she was involved with several design restoration projects, including work at the White House for nine presidents: Truman, Eisenhower, Nixon, Kennedy, Johnson, Carter, Reagan, and Clinton.
In 2005, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City premiered an exhibition about Apfel titled Rara Avis (Rare Bird): The Irreverent Iris Apfel. Since then her star has only risen with her image being featured in Paper Magazine, Vogue and New York Times.
At the moment Apfel still consults and lectures about style and other fashion topics at he University of Texas where she was made a professor and is busy with several other projects: her Mac cosmetics line, her work for Eye-Bobs and Yoox. She will also be launching her own line of handbags shortly: Extinctions, which will be available in October this year and will include twelve pieces in five colours.
Here are some inspirational quotes of her that I encountered on the web:
Iris Apfel on life
“In my view you can’t go to the future if you haven’t come from the past.”
“You learn as you grow up, if you’re intelligent – or even three-quarter witted – that there’s no free lunch. You pay for things in various ways. Living, loving, everything else is a matter of the same principles: you learn to work with what you have. And there’s nobody today who can’t do something to help herself.”
“Doing your own thing is very good,” Apfel concludes, “if you have a thing to do.”
On aging and beauty
Photo by Into the Gloss
“Aging gracefully is about no heavy makeup, and not too much powder because it gets into the wrinkles, and you know, to not get turtle eyelids, and to not try to look young. You don’t have to look like an old fuddy-duddy, but I believe it was Chanel who said, ‘Nothing makes a woman look so old as trying desperately hard to look young’.
“If you can’t be pretty, you have to learn to make yourself attractive. I found that all the pretty girls I went to high school with came to middle age as frumps, because they just got by with their pretty faces, so they never developed anything. They never learned how to be interesting. But if you are bereft of certain things, you have to make up for them in certain ways. Don’t you think?”
“Getting older ain’t for sissies, I’ll tell you. It’s very funny. I have a dear friend whose mother’s gone, but she was very funny. When I’d say ‘Yuda, how do you feel?’ she’d say, ‘Oh—when I get up in the morning, everything I have two of, one hurts”.
On food
“I like good, wholesome, well-prepared food. I don’t like glopped-up, I don’t eat cakes. Sometimes they say I don’t eat enough, but it’s better to eat less than more. I think more people get sick from over-eating all the wrong things. The body is like a machine—if you don’t put the right kind of fluids into it, it’s not going to work so well, or it’s going to get clogged up.”
On style
“There’s a sad lack of glamour in the world today,” Apfel mourns. “And there’s absolutely no fantasy.”
“I think when I was very young, maybe in my teens, I was experimenting until I found what I thought I liked. Didn’t take too long. I don’t like trends anyway—I like tradition. I’m doing the same thing and liking the same things. Of course, to say I don’t change—that makes me sound like I’m a dimwit. You change as you go along. I mean, you grow—but my basic sensibility is the same.”
“I’m a hopeless romantic. I buy things because I fall in love with them. I never buy anything just because it’s valuable. My husband used to say I look at a piece of fabric and listen to the threads. It tells me a story. It sings me a song. I have to get a physical reaction when I buy something. A coup de foudre – a bolt of lightning. It’s fun to get knocked out that way!”
On her new bag line Extinsions: “I’m a colour person. I’ve never been known to play it safe. Plus I like big bags. My eyeglasses are so big they don’t fit into smaller bags.”
In the below video she shares more of her ideas about style and she talks about the company she ran with her husband for 44 years:
Iris Apfel for Mac Cosmetics
M∙A∙C has recently presented a colour collection featuring lipsticks, beauty powder and eye shadows with as much flair and joie de vivre as Iris Apfel herself. The brand created four limited edition (and one permanent) shades of MAC Lipstick in the Iris Apfel collection.
“When MAC asked me to do a collection, I was thrilled and flattered. I never thought I’d be doing this; it’s like some sort of an insane, psychedelic dream. I worked with them and we picked colors, and I told them the kind of colors I liked—I like bright, intense colors. They showed me what they had and what they could do, and some of them were not quite heavy enough. I need a heavy—for me—a heavy matte lipstick. They were able to change the formulas. They went back and forth, and then we did eye shadows and nail polish, and a couple of other things—very exciting, very sexy. I loved it.”
Iris and the Jimmy Choo shoe
Iris inspired a shoe that carries her name: The Iris shoe by Jimmy Choo. Designer, Sandra Choi and Simon Holloway, took inspiration from her “maximalist style and bold layering of tribal and ethnic jewellery”. When asked what she thought about the shoe she exclaimed: “I’d never wear these!”, which is indeed quite unlikely, considering the immense heel. There is a lower version of the shoe as well, but that does not carry her name.
She earlier said about high heeled shoes: “Those big platforms and insanely high heels. They look like an orthopedist’s delight. I don’t see anything beautiful about them.”
How Iris is changing people’s lives
“People say: ‘You have inspired me, you’ve given me courage…’ They’ve gone so far as to say you’ve changed my life! And I would come back and say to my husband: ‘I can’t understand it – what kind of poor little life did she have if I had to come and change it?'” Her husband said she should ask. And sure enough, the next time someone said she’d changed her life, the fan was a 70-year-old lady in Florida. Apfel thanked her, then took her aside and said: “Would you mind very much explaining that to me?” So the woman did. She said that she’d never wanted to look just like everybody else, but she wasn’t sure how to do that without looking silly. Once she saw Apfel’s show, she knew, and what’s more, she said, “now that I’ve learned I don’t have to look like everybody else, I don’t have to think like everybody else”.
Her book
The book on Iris: Rare bird of fashion: The irreverent Iris Apfel by Eric Boman is still available today. Of course Iris Apfel is also featured in Ari Seth Cohen’s book: Advanced Style.
She is one inspiring woman for sure and a true style icon. Does Iris Apfel inspire you? In what way?

Do you have a problem wearing synthetic fabrics like polyester or is it just me?
I was out shopping with a young Singaporean woman last week, when she noticed me checking the clothing labels.
I explained to her that I always check the labels before buying anything as I’m keen on only wearing quality fabrics and preferably no synthetic fabrics.
I was surprised to learn that she wasn’t aware of all the different fabrics and their qualities.
To her it clearly didn’t matter what fabric a garment was made of (so lang as it looked good of course) and price was a far more important factor.
I also see these fabrics on some of the most stylish bloggers. Unfortunately, many times when I really like a garment from a picture, I’m disappointed that it’s 100% polyester.
This is a fabric I will just not buy in the stores. It certainly limits a lot of my clothing choices as a lot of the bright garments are made from Polyester.
Understanding the different fabrics
Even I don’t always know the specifics of the different fabrics and to be honest I SHOULD know as I once completed certification for the knowledge of fabrics (above an image of my notes from all the fabric testing we did).
I carried out (burning) tests knew all the fabric’s names and their qualities and could distinguish them by smell. It’s surprising how much I have forgotten.
So for a little brush up for us all, here are some of the main fabrics and their qualities (most of the research was done through Wikipedia):
Fabric
What is it
Advantages
Disadvantages
ANIMAL FABRICS
wool
Hair of domestic goats or sheep
Less conbustible than cotton or synthetics, easily returns to original shape, keeps you warm, is breathable, resistant to tearing.
Pills easily, dull fiber, stronger dry than wet, can itch, can mildew/mold, will deteriorate through sunlight exposure.
Cashmere
Hair of the indian cashmere goat
Soft, lightweight and silky.
Can be expensive.
Mohair
Hair of the North African Angora goat
Soft and easier to dye, light, absorbant, non-flammable, absorbs moisture, resistant to creases.
Silk
Animal textile made from the fibres of the cocoon of the Chinese silkworm
Most hypoallergenic of all fabrics, soft and beautiful shine, highly absorbant and lets your skin breathe, durable, light.
expensive, yellows with age, needs special care and dry cleaning, leaves water spots.
PLANT FABRICS
Cotton
A soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective capsule, around the seeds of cotton plants of the genus Gossypium.
Hypoallergenic and dust mite resistant, durable, environmentally friendly, soft, breaths well.
Creases, easily soiled, burns easily, weakens with exposure to light.
Modal
A cellulose fiber made by spinning reconstituted cellulose, often from beech trees.
50% more water-absorbent than cotton, can be dyed like cotton and is colourfast, resistant to shrinkage and fading, lightweight, appearance of silk, soft and smooth.
Prone to stretching and pilling.
SYNTHETIC FABRICS
Polyester
Polyesters include naturally occurring chemicals, such as in the cutin of plant cuticles, as well as synthetics. Used in all types of clothing, either alone or blended with fibres such as cotton.
Easily dyed, strong, light weight, and resistant to shrinking, stretching, mildew and creasing. Sun resistant.
Main disadvantage is that Polyester does not breathe. Fabric shine can be unattractive. Stains are difficult to remove. Not environmentally friendly.
Acrylic
A fibre used to imitate wools, including cashmere.
Woolly feel, durable, soft, colour fast, easy to clean.
Not as warm as wool, can irritate the skin.
Viscose or rayon
Viscose is a viscous organic liquid used to make rayon and cellophane. Viscose is becoming synonymous with rayon, a soft material commonly used in shirts, shorts, coats, jackets, and other outer wear.
Viscose rayon has a silky appearance and feel, breathable similar to cotton, inexpensive.
Not environmentally friendly, creases easily.
Nylon
A tough, lightweight, elastic synthetic polymer with a proteinlike chemical structure. Used to imitate silk.
Very resilient, easy to care, resistant to insects, fungi and mildew.
Not absorbant, can have an unpleasant sheen, environmentally unfriendly, prone to static electricity.
Spandex or Lycra
A polyurethane product that can be made tight-fitting without impeding movement. It is used to make activewear, bras, and swimsuits.
very elastic, good resistance to lotions oils and perspiration, light weight, strong and durable, soft, smooth, easy to care for.
Does not breath very well, slippery on surfaces, sensitive to heat, will show every blub on your body!
COMBINATIONS
Velvet
A closely woven fabric of silk, cotton, or nylon that has a thick short pile on one side.
Depends on the fabric it's made of.
Satin
A smooth, glossy fabric, typically of silk but also nylon or polyester, produced by a weave in which the threads of the warp are caught and looped by the weft only...: "a blue satin dress
Luxurious, smooth, silky, drapes nicely.
prone to water spots.
Organza
A thin, stiff, transparent fabric made of silk or a synthetic yarn.
Lightweight, fine, crisp and sheer.
My main issue with synthetic fabrics like polyester
The main problem for me of synthetic fabrics like polyester is that they don’t breathe. This results in a feeling of humidity all the time and I find it generally unpleasant.
Many synthetic fibers also look too shiny and cheap to me and just don’t give me the same sense of luxury, comfort and happiness as natural fabrics like cotton, wool and silk.
Synthetic fabrics when worn as trousers also hugely irritate my intimate parts and I have learnt never to make the mistake of buying 100% synthetic pants.
So I’m very picky about the fabrics I buy and always check the labels. I’m always astonished as to how few natural fabrics are on sale in a humid country like Singapore.
Even expensive brands like Diane von Furstenberg stock a lot of synthetic materials and charge high prices for it!
Brands that feature a lot of natural fabrics
Here are some recommendations of brands that feature natural fabrics.
Please check the specifications of each individual item though! If you have some further recommendations, please let me know by leaving a comment below and I will update this list.
Eileen Fisher: lots of cotton and silk
Stella Carakasi: lots of cotton, hemp now also silk
7 for all mankind: great cotton jeans
Emerson Fry: uses beautiful natural
What is rayon?
How about semi-synthetic fabrics? Are you happier wearing those?
Rayon, for example, is considered to be a semi-synthetic fabric because it is derived from wood pulp, but it does still use chemicals so isn’t completely natural.
What rayon can do is essentially imitate natural fabrics such as silk, wool, cotton or linen, so it can be a middle ground between natural and man-made, which you may find that you can wear this comfortably against your skin.
Or you might like to consider clothing which is a mix of rayon and other natural fabrics such as wool.
Halogen twist detail top
Rails print shirt
Wit & Wisdom jeans
So I really wonder: is it just me or are you picky about your fabrics as well? Do you check the fabric label before you decide to buy something? How particular are you about fabrics and what are your favorites? How much more are you willing to pay extra for a quality fabric?

You gals are NOT alone! Thank you for the great article, Sylvia!!!
It prompted me to further investigate other synthetics. Wow!! There are 2 links at the bottom of my comment with a wealth of information on [quite possibly] every fabric out there!!
I absolutely DESPISE polyester and have an intense dislike for most other synthetic fabrics, as well.
I get acne type breakouts from wearing polyester especially!! We had company provided polo shirts in the late 80s for Olive Garden bartenders. THAT is when I discovered my sensitivity to polyester. Thankfully, being a good employee, they happily accommodated me with 100% cotton polo shirts!!
The faux fabrics seem to get sneakier by the year. Quite a few feel similar to fabrics I like, and can wear. Microfiber is quite offensive to me as well with it being so widely used in clothing AND furniture – and who knows what else??
“Microfiber (or microfibre) is synthetic fiber finer than one denier or decitex/thread, having a diameter of less than ten micrometres. … The most common types of microfibers are made from polyesters, polyamides (e.g., nylon, Kevlar, Nomex, trogamide), or a conjugation of polyester, polyamide, and polypropylene.”
And most polyesters are petroleum based. Take a look at the links I found that describe many materials and their origins. You DO have to sign up for the newsletter (no cost) of the first link to access the site, but the information is quite detailed!
https://cfda.com/resources/materials/detail/polyester
This is another good article to learn about fabric ‘classifications’.
https://clothingindustry.blogspot.com/2017/12/classification-textile-fibers.html?m=1
Again, thank you for the great article. I really thought I was quite alone in my disdain for certain fabrics, polyester being the worst offender. I guess it makes sense for me to have such at attitude towards these very unnatural fabrics, considering that I use a lot natural things like herbs, flower essences, essential oils, and food-derived nutrients for my pup and myself.
Lynnon October 8, 2020 at 12:23 am
I am on board totally! I cannot wear any synthetics…my skin just does not breathe. I shop a lot online, and check the fabrication of everything I look at. If it says 90% cotton and 10% poly…I won’t buy it. I can only wear cotton and silk…and it is all very expensive! A great place, not necessarily fashion wise…but even for 100% cotton bras…is Cottonique. I have been on the hunt for a silk velvet man tailored shirt for years!
Valerie Con September 19, 2019 at 3:47 am
I recently attempted to buy clothes for my son that were 100 percent cotton — he’s 9, i’m an older mom. The reason was that in the summer, he was wearing his favorite athletic clothes (all polyester or significant synthetic blend; the sporty boys love these clothes) at a sports camp, and he overheated, then broke out in hives! It wasn’t his food, I had packed his lunch and knew what he ate that day. It was the clothes. But I cannot find good cotton clothing for him that is not very babyish. I also prefer natural fibers, but have a lot of trouble finding good-fitting cotton clothing, though I am slim. Thank you for talking about this, and for the links to cotton clothes.
Claireon September 17, 2019 at 1:34 am
I have problems with synthetic fabrics and always look at the labels for primarily cotton in the clothing. With my medicine I take for breast cancer I now sweat all the time and can’t comfortably wear polyester or other materials that makes it worse. Also the so-called liquid knit is clingy, and not flattering on bulges besides the sweat issues. I have had 8 hernia surgeries so unfortunately I have strange bulges from surgeries. Cotton works better for me and I tend to shop in the men’s section because they have more cotton choices. Yes cotton wrinkles and stains easily but I don’t mind if I have to iron something as long as ultimately I’m comfortable. For excessive sweating problems from hormone medicine I don’t know what choices I have that aren’t synthetic besides cotton. All the clothing seems to be made for young women who are thin and don’t sweat.
JCon August 11, 2019 at 5:15 am
It’s been a long, dry spell for me of really hating shopping because there’re so few choices in natural fabrics. I so glad to find this string of comments because when there are enough of us, the manufacturers might respond. Just to let you know, from time to time J Jill carries fashionable linen or cotton/linens items.
Munieon June 7, 2019 at 4:42 pm
Hi, thanks for this article. It has enlighten me on things I didn’t even know before. My question now is that, is nylon fabric as bad as polyester. I just want to know how bad nylon is
Lynn von Furstenbergon May 9, 2019 at 5:52 am
OMG…i would have SWORN that we killed the polyester trend in the 70’s. It was horrible cheap stuff and no reputable designer would have DARED to use it. Well imagine my HORROR to suddenly discover the the BEST designers are now using polyester. No really…Armani, Ralph Lauren….the best of the best are making polyester pants. I am STUNNED!! Not only that but they’re charging the same as the used to charge for wool. I haven’t done any shopping for a couple of years but i hurt my knee a year and a half ago and i’ve put on 15 pounds and nothing fits so i’ve been trying to find some cheap and cheerful FAT pants on ebay. Now i have to look carefully with even the BEST designers to make sure i’m not buying polyester. You really could have knocked me over with a feather….i just don’t GET it. Why haven’t women complained?? At top designer prices you should never have to deal with polyester!!
Claudia bironon May 8, 2019 at 8:28 am
I noticed you did not include linen in your descriptions. Linen can be quite wrinkly but mixed with another fabric cuts down on this. I always look at fabric content first when buying clothing. My friend refers to me as a fabric whore! I’m a fan of most Eileen fisher clothing as she uses great fabrics.
Also I’ve had pilling on all fabrics. Even an Eileen fisher sweater that I returned after wearing it only three times.
Claudia
Nancy Jon October 16, 2019 at 7:55 am
Claudia, yes to your comments about linen. I agree a little polyester will add an easier care garment, but many have got used to the “rumpled effect” of linen and find it stylish. Pilling is often a quality of cashmere, but a good “comb” takes care of that issue. Appreciated your comments.
Nancy Jon May 7, 2019 at 8:08 am
I too, have had training in textiles many years ago and did various tests on different fabrics to learn their properties and the drape and feel (hand) of each. The natural fabrics (animal and plant based) are desired in many cases, but can cause allergy with some people, especially the animal based fabrics (wools and furs that have been made into thread and yarn). Some very high quality fabrics can be made by blending or pairing with synthetics giving them better drape, wearability and easy care properties. So there is something to be said on both sides of natural fabrics versus using synthetics blended with natural fibers. I agree that there are some very cheap synthetics, but there are also some cheaply made natural fabrics. The answer is in the overall quality in the natural fabric, blended fabric, as well as the synthetic fabric. A synthetic alone can be very uncomfortable to wear for all the reasons stated above. Personally, I often choose a good quality cotton and polyester blend (60% cotton to 40% polyester) for blouses for their easy care properties. Also some synthetic blends mixed in with natural fabrics make for very comfortable, easy care blazers, slacks, etc. So, as with everything, there are times the natural fabrics work well. In other situations you might prefer some synthetic fibers in the mix, or all synthetic as in workout clothing.
Debon January 10, 2019 at 11:18 pm
I detest polyester and acrylics but I don’t have the budget for Eileen Fisher – plus her clothes just don’t flatter my petite pear-shaped figure – way too boxy. I find I’ve been buying more modal or microfiber.
Doveon July 8, 2018 at 11:32 am
I was wondering what sort of features a fabric made of 95% polyester and 5% elastane. Does it perish easily? is it see through? how does it go after a few washes?
cassieon April 22, 2018 at 11:36 am
I cannot stand polyester! The man-made materials of all kinds seem to continually cause issues in the world. I am extremely allergic to it. I am always carrying benadryl. If I react I can have hives the size of my head all over my body, eyes swollen shut, lips up to 3x their size. I’ve been reacting for 14yrs now. Olive oil on hives helps with itch, either claritin or zytec everyday has helped with touch all day in places I go and not notice.
A.C. Smithon March 13, 2018 at 3:05 am
Yeah, me too! My initial prejudice is for naturals and against synthetics. However, my extensive wardrobe still includes a few synthetic or part synthetic items and I’d be loath to chuck them, because they do do a turn. Really, it’s a matter of horses for courses. Thus, e.g., while most of my shirts are 100% cotton (including some sea
island quality), there are also a dozen or so polycotton shortsleeved ones that are convenient and were also dirt cheap. Again, most of my tailored suits are 100% pure wool but that doesn’t stop me occasionally wearing the one wool and poly mix one any more than the silk and linen mix one. Such eclecticism leads to desirable versatility. I have all cotton underwear but would wear certain synthetic base layers for their thermal properties.

I recently saw a $230 Prada men’s tie made of polyester. The polyester turned me of more than the price. And then I saw the tie was lined with silk!! Why didn’t they make the tie of silk and its lining of polyester?? Almost comical.
Sueon February 12, 2018 at 5:38 am
I detest polyester – hot in the summer, cold in the winter, and does not breathe.
To me, polyester = plastic. I don’t care what other name it gets called; it’s still plastic. Lived in Houston and polyester in 99% humidity does not work together. Houston women don’t wear hosiery either. It’s just miserable. Ladies — if something says it’s “silky” that does not mean it is real silk. Silky is glorified polyester.
Try real silk (if you can afford it), linen, cotton or a combination of cotton and linen. If it’s 100% linen, you might consider having it dry cleaned — it doesn’t wrinkle as much as washing. I can manage some items with rayon. Yes, you may pay more for natural fabrics, but they usually last longer. Look at it this way — natural fabrics are cheaper than heat strokes.
Damian Lopezon October 13, 2020 at 11:21 pm
Have You ever Thought that many many people Around The World LOVE THE SHINE OF POLYESTER??? Also…So What if Polyester is a Form of Plastic!!! Plastic Saves Lives everyday and Improves the Quality of Life for Hundreds of Milions of People around the World. Plastic Improves People’s Standard of Living all Around The World. Silk Worms Produce Protein based Fibres…and Humans Produce Polymers and Plastics to Improve their Quality of Life. Why Should Humans Not Want To Benefit from Their Technology and Ingenuity???!!! I Tell You Truthfully that My Life Is Richer and Better Because of Polyester!!! My Life Is Filled With More Beauty and Comfort Because of Polyester. Yes…The Same polyester that You so ungratefully label as Polyester=Plastic. To me and Millions of Others…Polyester= Beauty. Polyester=Comfort. Polyester=Affordability and Quality. Polyester=Durability and Softness. Polyester= Convenience. Polyester=Resiliency. I Love It’s High Shine. I find it Extremely Attractive and Lovely. To me Polyester=LOVE. I Will Always Buy Polyester for it’s Beauty and Durability. Stay Well. Stay Blessed.

Can anyone help me?
I have a casual jacket manufactured by SOHO UNITED, that does not have a Washing or Dry Cleaning instruction label. There IS a tab that identifies the material as 50% Poliester (not Polyester), and 50% AL6ODON (or something close to that, it is not totally clear) and I need to determine how to clean it. It was a gift to me and unfortunately I am unable to determine a way of contacting the manufacturer, or the establishment it was purchased from. I have searched extensively for information without success, and hope some kind caring person can advise me.

Your garmet was likely made in Turkey or Mexico and colored with synthetic dyes; they mis-spelled both ingredients which are POLYESTER and ALGODON (cotton). Do a first cleaning at home with DRYEL and if the garmet does not bleed onto the dry cleaning cloth, you can chance cleaning it the next time with gentle washing in lukewarm water.
Tessaon November 6, 2017 at 11:31 pm
Sorry for the correction by Viscose is manufactured from naturally occurring polymers so it is classified as a semi-synthetic fabric, not a synthetic one as you have put. Because although the fibres are naturally-occurring, the Viscose process used to make the fabric is very much man-made. It is defined as a ‘re-generated cellulose fibre’. Also, Rayon is the generic name used for any fibre using regenerated cellulose and subsequently the yarn and fabric made from this. Viscose however, is the process that the wood pulp goes through to make the Rayon fabric, there are other processes used to make Rayon fabrics, such as Modal or Lyocell, again these are given their names after the process used to make them. Both Model and Lyocell are more environmentally friendly processes than the viscose process, but they are still a cellulosic fibre that makes a rayon fabric. The viscose process is also called the ‘Cellulose Xanthate’ process!
Yes, I look at clothing labels and won’t wear certain things. I am also studying a masters in fashion futures and sustainability and read a lot about fibres!

Thank-you! It’s frustrating shopping when the vast majority of clothes are made from those itchy, fake fabrics! I’m actually put off working in an office because I cannot stand the thought of all the polyester shirts and trousers; I feel itchy, sweaty and gross just thinking about it! They’re always the wrong feeling, like when it’s hot they’re sweaty but when it’s cold, they’re freezing. Like reverse thermals. It’s so distracting when your clothes just aren’t right and it’s so difficult to find anything made out of a nice, breathable fabrics. I don’t even shop with my friends now because I wind them up feeling all the fabrics first. Don’t even get me started on how badly women’s clothes are designed too, they’re uncomfortable, impractical and mostly made of sweaty sandpaper lol! Give me strength. Please do a separate article on where to buy well made clothes online because I think everyone is done with the high street and I’d be so interested in finding a store/ brand I can finally trust! xxx
Lauraon August 28, 2017 at 8:04 am
I don’t have a problem with natural vs synthetic necessarily. I just go by the look and feel of the garment. Some 100 percent cotton garments can also look and feel quite cheap, for example, if the fabric is too thin or coarse. I have no knowledge of garment manufacture, but I usually look at the stitching to see if a garment is higher or lower quality. Messy stitching or crooked seams are a dead giveaway. I also like to see that that the patterns match up along seams or at least don’t look obviously misaligned. I would like to know if there are some fabric blends that are considered higher quality than others or are more durable.
Lisaon July 13, 2017 at 11:10 pm
Who cares, most people can’t afford to buy all their clothing in natural fibre fabrics. I see something I like, I try it on and if it looks good and feels good and I can afford it then I buy it. I hate it when people are so laadidaa and picky about everything. Some synthetic wools and fabrics feel nicer than the animal fabrics.
Meganon June 27, 2017 at 4:51 pm
Hey There,
I love the breakdown of these fabrics as I am always explaining the differences to people after I took a textiles class in college. My biggest fabric beef is with rayon, not so much woven raton but the rayon spandex blends because even if you dont dry them they shrink to much over time. My favorite is linen..obviously because its breathable but also because it can get a little baggy throughout the day whih I actually like. I hate when people complain that linen is too sheer or shrinks, like no sh**t do your research before buying fabrics.

Well I just read all the comments and then went and checked all my clothes and was shockingly surprised that most of my best looking shirts and pants are 60% cotton and 40% polyester.
On the other hand all my 100% cotton clothes looking dull just after a single hand wash. I don’t know about the rest of you but I want to look good and wool, linen and cotton doesn’t do it for me.
There is a reason why there is so much polyester and nylon out there. Cause it looks good and very durable.
In my view girl will sacrifice a bit of discomfort in order to look amazing rather than look like a granny in a wrinkled, cheap looking dress.
Sylviaon May 27, 2017 at 7:58 pm
Combinations of polyester with another fabric can look good. But many polyesters actually look cheap and don’t look good in my opinion. As with anything it depends on the quality. However, the main reason why there is so much polyester and nylon is because it’s cheap to produce and brands simply make more money from it.
Kateon May 17, 2017 at 8:06 pm
I definitely avoid polyester, it gives me an awful rash. Also, it makes you sweat smell much worse. Once I slept in a hotel with 50% polyester sheets and I got all itchy.
Last few years I find it more easy to find cotton jeans without polyester.
But now I’m shopping for a summer dress and it seems 90% is polyester!
Viscose is ok, it breathes, no humid feeling and no rash. (I thought it was natural)
Simone Altmannon March 24, 2017 at 6:44 am
An interesting and informative blog. I too am a label looker as I just can’t tolerate synthetic fibres. Mela Purdie an Australian fashion designer uses a fabric called mouseline tec polyester. I can’t seem to find any information on this fabric. Although it sounds synthetic it is a fabric that I can wear. Can anyone shed any light on this fabric?
Fiona Blairon November 23, 2016 at 3:33 am
Hi
Please check out my good friends facebook page – she is of the same opinion as you with her clothing line and will never make anything out of polyester!

Hello, I am searching the net for women that share my concern about polyester and synthetic clothing across the board especially in women’s fashion. I am one of those women who cannot wear polyester and nylon and depended on cotton clothing my entire life. Not just when we are 40+, synthetic clothing irritates younger women as well. I got so fed up with the industry, specially in the legging market, that I developed my own brand of colorful cotton leggings. I opened my company Just for Colors in August 2016. It took almost a year to develop the company and my product to design and perfect the fit and the cotton fabric for my leggings. My leggings are designed with the mature women’s body in mind with a design that doesn’t squeeze us into shape but pants that give us flexibility and breathing room while conforming perfectly to our natural bodyform.
I found in the last 20 years that polyester and nylon kicked out cotton in the entire industry, including leggings, I was unable to find cotton leggings anywhere in the stores or online that where colorful and cheerful. I did find them for my daughter and was always mad that there is nothing for us older girls out there in cotton. Blacks and grays are dominating the market.There is nothing wrong with a black or grey legging, but if that is all there is than there is a problem. I don’t want to wear blacks and grays, I love color and I love fun designs and prints. Leggings for everyday wear, specially as a stay-at-home mom, who just wants to feel dressed and comfortable in functional clothes, that can be washed with ease and thrown into the dryer without feeling static. I have suffered my younger years with eczema and still have a tendency to very dry and easy irritable skin, thus I avoid synthetics at all cost. The same can be said for women’s bras, there is nothing , absolutely nothing out there in cotton, just very unfashionable sport bras, that look terrible after a few times in the wash. Accommodating bras and panties are next on my designer heart. I also would love to experiment with other sustainable fabrics, specially with clothes that directly touch the skin.
I am asking for help in introducing my cotton leggings to the market in finding women who encounter the same issues that I have in a world that has put plastic in our daily lives and has taken over the clothing industry and convinced us women that we have to wrap ourselves in plastic to be fashionable. My skin needs cotton, it cannot breathe without it. I am a women over 50 and I want to be fashionable and wear fun clothes that won’t compromise my health.
vixon November 13, 2016 at 1:57 pm
I am more concerned about how a garment looks and feels than fabric content, but I, too, have trouble wearing polyester. I have a couple tops that are labeled as polyester, but feel more like rayon. One is woven and the other is light knit. I have a couple other light knit items that are polyester but are very light and soft. I can wear these, too, but they are not very cool in summer. I have no problem wearing rayon, although it does not hold up as well as most other fabrics. Rayon feels cool in hot weather, but tears easily when wet. This means it does not hold up well for wearing during strenuous activity when you sweat. I have been having a lot of trouble finding night gowns. I absolutely cannot wear polyester or poly-cotton blend nightgowns. Polyester is usually made of short fibers that pill after a few washings. Pilled polyester feels like steel wool against my skin. There was a company that made the best cotton nightgowns until about ten years ago when they started selling 60 percent cotton, 40 percent polyester gowns. Soon nearly all the nightgowns sold in better department stores were made of poly-cotton. I am very careful at looking at fabric labels when I shop for nightgowns. It does not matter how careful I am. Sometimes I see a gown that says 100 percent cotton, but the “hand” of it feels just like polyester. Designers are also using more short staple cotton. That too will pill just like polyester. Unfortunately, I think that in the future we will be seeing more short staple cotton in our clothing because long staple cotton is very expensive to grow. Growers need to use a lot of pesticides on it. Short staple cotton is not as susceptible to the pests that can ruin long staple cotton crops.
Anabelaon October 10, 2016 at 3:04 am
It’s nice to learn that it’s not just me that looks at fabric labels! What’s also upsetting is that active wear/ sports where your skin should breathe because your sweating, a lot of Sports wear is polyester and expensive! They cheap out on quality but still sell it pricey!
I just don’t like how polyester feels on my skin and knowing that it’s not environmentally friendly makes it worse.
Ainun Najwaon August 11, 2016 at 1:01 am
Thanks for writing this article!
In the recent years, human have known how to make their own fibers by synthesizing the cellulose like molecules from oils example are polyester and nylons. The synthesizing forms are quite flexible and often very poor in breathing and hence they should always be mix with cotton.
Maureenon July 9, 2016 at 3:43 am
I agree for the most part. I much prefer natural fibers in general, but every once in awhile will find a polyester blend that works for me and wears well. I like that I can grab it in the morning without having to iron. I recently brought a beautiful poly/spandex dress which I have never done before and I was pleasantly surprised how comfortable it is. Possibly manufacturers are improving the quality a little these days.
Aaronon May 28, 2016 at 5:37 pm
I landed on this page while looking for advice about electric blankets — they all seem to be made of synthetic fabric. I wanted to know the difference between “non-woven polyester”, and, well, ordinary polyester. Until about 9 years ago, I slept between sheets that where a blend of polyester and cotton. When I got my first pure cotton bed sheets — WOW! — the increase in comfort was AMAZING. I actually slept more peacefully, woke up well-rested and in comfort. Now I can almost say I’m allergic to polyester. But I guess there’s no such thing as a cotton, or wool, or even silk electric blanket. I’m thinking that the cotton sheets I use will shield me from the dreaded polyester, but I know polyester to generate a lot of static electricity. In my case it’s especially bad because I have long flowing hair, which itself sparks when I comb it (which I rarely need to do anyway). Any info & advice would be most welcome.
Meon May 28, 2016 at 7:43 pm
Non-woven is most likely a fleece like material.
Lauraon May 8, 2016 at 12:09 am
Thank you for this fabric information. I always question polyester because I’ve been told it’s changed from when it first came out years ago, but I still find that it does not breathe unless it is a lower percentage combined with another fabric such as cotton with exception to polyester and spandex. Many times I find something that I really like with beautiful colors and learn it is 100% Polyester. I pass. In regards to Mohair which should be soft and comfortable I don’t understand why I find that it itches.
Charlieon April 12, 2016 at 4:53 pm
Viscose syntetics? Absolutely wrong. Viscose/Rayon is made from cellulose. Cotton is also cellulose. It is breathable which is impossible for a syntetic fiber. Modal is also viscose but a little stronger.
You better check your sources.
Sylviaon April 13, 2016 at 8:51 am
This is what Wikipedia says: Viscose is both a semi-synthetic fiber, formerly called viscose rayon, or rayon and a solution of cellulose xanthate. The latter is produced by treating dissolving pulp with aqueous sodium hydroxide and carbon disulfide which is used to spin the viscose rayon fiber. Although a large part of it is cellulose, it’s still very much a man-made fabric. It’s actually declining in popularity due to its high pollution levels.
Karianneon March 26, 2016 at 5:22 pm
Thanks for writing this article! For me synthetic clothing is a no-go to, mostly because of the static shocks you get when wearing these fabrics. In The Netherlands it’s cold quite often so the heating is on at home and everywhere you go. The air gets very dry because of it and synthetics will give me shocks with almost everything I touch.
Danon March 18, 2016 at 11:28 pm

Markon March 18, 2016 at 4:25 am
I am also with you. I will not wear anything polyester, period.
I find it astounding that a company like Underarmor is so successful. Their clothing is almost elusively polyester.
Valerie RJon March 16, 2016 at 4:18 am
As many have said, it’s nice to see it’s not just me.
One issue for me is, fabrics with a high polyester content (heaven forbid 100%!) not only don’t breathe, but a lot of times they don’t give. Especially when you’re talking a button down shirt.
The primary issue is, polyester (and most manmade fibers) make my skin crawl. I seem to have skin that is sensitive to touch. I have the same problem with wool, cashmere, and angora. Feels great when I touch them with my hands, but I put it on and it makes me swat at whatever is trying to touch me. Especially my face.
If I wear it too long it will actually cause my skin to hurt…
LiLion February 19, 2016 at 7:22 pm
Nice read overall. Be careful listing above fibers. Modal and Viscose/Rayon are artifical fibers (a mix of chemical and natural materials)
Karen Griffinon February 18, 2016 at 1:06 pm
Thanks for these comments. Since I started menopause I have had such trouble keeping my body temperature regulated and finding comfortable clothing. Cotton without polyester is becoming harder and harder to find. I buy only 100% cotton sheets and cotton or wool blankets. Otherwise I’m miserable. It makes it hard to go somewhere – I usually travel with my own bedding, which makes me seem ungrateful as a guest when I use my own bedding. I’m glad to hear that I’m not the only one who notices how polyester makes you so uncomfortable. Even when signs say “cotton” they might not be more than partly cotton. Keep reading labels! I especially love the comments about the babies. I see these babies wearing the most outrageous get-ups sometimes in the name of fashion. Poor little guys!
Leola Kieltyon February 14, 2016 at 12:50 pm
I am 83 years old and cannot wear polyester and other similar fabrics. My entire body gets very cold and sweaty all over. In recent years I find lots of fabrics made of cotton with some polyester which I can usually wear. However, for many years starting in 1950 thru 2010 it was impossible to find cotton blouses and shirts. For years I didn’t realize what was causing me to be so uncomfortable and clammy all the time. I would advise everyone to only put cotton clothes on their babies. When my son was born (1951) I didn’t understand about fabrics and I am sure he suffered from the fabrics I put on him. He was a sweaty and fussy baby. Please mothers, only put clothes on your babies that are cotton or at least 50% cotton. Carter makes lots of them.
Danon February 8, 2016 at 4:22 am

Andrewon January 16, 2016 at 12:53 am
I have to disagree; A poly-spandex blend such as in activewear is almost exclusively all that I’ll wear. The colors don’t fade, the fabric is taut and durable, it’s supportive, looks vibrant, much easier to wash, less expensive to wash (cold water, gentle cycle, low heat dry), doesn’t hold onto water and sweat like cotton and similar fabrics do, stretches and conforms to the body, more resistant to shrinkage, and is not a source of nutrition for bugs or other pests.
Plus, what difference does it make if a cotton shirt or a polyester shirt is out in a landfill? It’s still gonna take years and years for either one to decompose.
Jeannieon October 9, 2016 at 9:50 pm
It’s true that a polyester shirt could take up to 200 years to decompose, but a cotton shirt takes less than one year to decompose, often less than 6 months.
Mabelon February 9, 2018 at 12:01 pm
Ummmm …. exactly!!! less than one year – which basically means they dont last. At all. i wear designer clothing – i want it to last longer than just 1 year!! completely agree andrew – synthetic fabrics are more comfortable, hygeinic and durable.
Seraphima Shagouryon June 5, 2020 at 9:44 am
What kind of story are you trying to spin, Andrew? Everyone knows poly/spandex on people who do athletics (you) are going to absorb sweat and smells like any other material next to your skin. It doesn’t matter whether you ice skate, wrestle, play basketball….you probably haven’t taken a whiff of yourself lately. (Hint.)
Annon January 14, 2016 at 6:54 pm
I don’t know where you live Valerie, but it is well known in Australia that Merino sheep produce the finest wool. It may have been used for carpets when you were young but years of careful breeding have reduced the micron reading so that it can now be used for all-season wear, even summer. I do agree with you about the synthetics though—horrible and uncomfortable.
Valerieon January 14, 2016 at 10:20 am
Its such a relief to find someone who thinks like me …. I really hate all of this synthetic fabric that seem to be everywhere these days. Polyester, nylon and spandex are the worse ones for me. I know of many women who shop in ‘second hand clothing’ stores for just this reason where they can pick up items with quality natural fabrics.
AND … whats with the use of Merino wool ??? When I was young this was only used for carpet and the like because it was so tough. Why are we not using the softer wools – you would think Merino was the only sheep that roamed this planet.
Anyway Vickie, thanks for publishing … its a very interesting read .
VICKIEon November 30, 2015 at 6:21 am
Your list failed to mention the most wonderful fabric for clothing or home furnishings, and that is natural flax linen. As I have grown older, comfort is my number 1 issue in clothing, due to health and other concerns. I began making my own loose style of clothing with linen because I could not find the style and fabric I wanted in the stores. Linen is the way to go for all clothing as it is breathable, antibacterial, and comfortable in all seasons. I suggest that anyone dealing with health issues, menopause, or just want a more organic way of living to try linen. I wear nothing else!
Sylviaon November 30, 2015 at 1:57 pm
Thanks for letting us know Vickie!
Rosie the Grouchon May 13, 2016 at 8:53 pm
I also couldn’t help noticing that linen was missing from the list. Two other plant fabrics missing are hemp and bamboo 🙂
Maryon November 11, 2016 at 8:42 pm
I agree, Vickie, this past year I’ve been hit hard with Perimenopause, and I’ve been searching for clothes that are breathable. Linen has been the best, but I still have not found a bra I can comfortably wear.
Sue Runyonon May 8, 2019 at 10:17 pm
I love linen. It would be a great addition to your list. Please mention that linen quality varies greatly. The longer the fiber used the better the quality – just like cotton. Good linen is perfect for classic pieces as it can last a very long time.
Jessicaon November 19, 2015 at 12:31 am
I love the look of polyester shirts and love that they last longer than other materials like cotton. However, all of my polyester shirts stick to my skin which cause a very unattractive look (shows my stomach) and is obnoxious. Any advice on how to help this issue would be very appreciated! I have thought about a cotton undershirt? I have polyester undershirts and that makes everything stick together.
Sylviaon November 19, 2015 at 9:26 am
Yes a cotton underskirt could help. Of course this issue is one of the reasons I avoid polyester skirts myself.
Carlaon October 24, 2015 at 12:35 am
I am a label checker also, polyester makes me sweat. It also affects my deodorant. 100% cotton or silk for me.

Hi, im a graphic designer living in rarotonga, cook islands. I found this blog because of my research on buying a sublimation that print designs on fabrics for display and hoped of printing on a variety of fabrics but to my dismay it will only on POLYESTER, the thank you for the info its important for us to use breathable and environmentally friendly fabrics and in the last 15 years we have been seeing an increase in polyester sarongs and fabrics not suited to our island climate…puzzling? Like why? I almost was going to purchase this amazing printer but only by cause the colours looks so hood and vibrant. Thank you:-)
Mavison August 25, 2015 at 5:05 pm
Hi there – I could not agree more – I cannot wear synthetic materials as I get so hot and water really does run down me (perspiration)! Why are so many garments made of it. Even expensive clothes. Don’t they realise it causes so many problems and is so bad for the environment. What can we do apart from not buying the goods but others do not see it and just buy all the time.
Cindyon July 21, 2015 at 11:08 am
I find polyester hot, and I am upset that it is almost all the jeans I have shopped for including Gap, Old Navy and Loft.
If anyone knows of jeans that are cotton only with some spandex maybe, let me know.
Kateon July 22, 2015 at 10:00 pm
Hello Cindy,
I don’t know what type of jeans you like, but when I wear denim, which doesn’t happen very often, I choose Seven for all Mankind. Mine are 96% cotton with a bit of spandex. I also have a pair of J. Crew jeans that are cotton with just a bit of stretch, and Banana Republic still makes 98% cotton jeans with a hint of spandex for better fit.
jenniferon September 28, 2015 at 10:54 pm
Hi there. For jeans and t-shirts that are mostly cotton with a bit of spandex try American eagle outfitters! Infact I found very few with polyester and I look very carefully as I appear to have a sensitivity to polyester.
Many of aeo have viscose as well which is so soft and comfy.
T-shirts are 100% cotton. Check out the yoga pants as well .
I hope this helps. Their prices are agreeable too.
Jen.
Nikki Franklinon June 4, 2015 at 7:16 pm
I also always read labels anything cotton silk linen mix are good for me. I have also recently tried viscose & does seem to breathe quite well. I find assistants in shops seem a bit mystified when request what fabric contains & wish sometimes the writing was a big bigger as very hard to decipher. Thanks for the list of fabrics & their qualities
George Kiamaon May 26, 2015 at 6:27 pm
I am also concerned about Polyester because it is hard to clean I have some few Polyester clothes.I normally don’t look at the fabric when buying.In Africa many people are not aware of fabrics and their qualities.
Annon April 23, 2015 at 7:34 pm
Couldn’t agree more about polyester and other synthetics. I too am an avid reader of labels. I have to disagree about wool however. I have sensitive skin (made worse by chemotherapy) but I wear woollen underwear in winter—I have some which feels like silk. It all depends on the right wool. Superfine merino is the way to go, not cheap stuff from China. And I have to also disagree about other fibres keeping one just as warm as wool. The only ones that do that are other natural fibres such as alpaca or cashmere —which can be obtained for a reasonable price if you shop around.
Rosie the Grouchon May 13, 2016 at 8:48 pm
Hi Ann,
I’m very curious to know where you find (soft) woollen underwear? I have never seen that. In fact, even just 100% cotton underpants are hard to find where I shop (Northern and Central Europe).
Paulineon February 14, 2015 at 4:58 pm
Im With You. Cannot Wear, Or Wont Wear, Synthetics.
K. Louise, Spoonie Styleon February 3, 2015 at 4:37 am
I have a facebook page and fashion blog for people living with chronic illness and/or chronic pain–a common side effect for many medications is sweating for no reason, in addition to the fact that many chronic illnesses come with a “broken” personal thermostat and/or extreme skin sensitivity. This makes polyester a very difficult fabric for my readers to wear, and probably 2/3 of the research I do on clothing is spent just checking fabric content. I make a point of including plus-size items (weight gain being another common side effect of maintenance meds and limited physical activity) and about 97% of plus-size clothing, including very high-end items, is polyester. I do allow, with some caveats, clothing made of nylon or occasionally acrylic, since these at least have slightly better moisture permeability….and since virtually every bra in existence is made of nylon or polyester, it’s an important distinction at times. For the commenter Jessica, looking for a mother-of-the-groom dress, you may want to look into Rent the Runway–an option which allows you to rent extremely high-end gowns for an event rather than purchasing them outright. Soft Surroundings is a nice source for highly embellished pieces and items in quality fabrics that come in regular and plus sizes. For simple basics, J. Jill is perhaps the best at reliable quality and timelessness–their fit model is very boxy, however, so sizing down or having small alterations made may be advisable for some who prefer a more curve-skimming fit.
Rasnaon January 31, 2015 at 12:20 am
Hello!
I am very picky as well! It is nice to see that I am not the only one. It doesn’t matter how beautiful a garment is, if it is polyester or rayon I don’t buy it. I stick mainly to cotton and silk, and sometime cashmere if I can afford it.
Thanks for this great article.

Nancyon September 21, 2016 at 8:54 pm
Ever try girlease bra liners , they are great ! Company is in San Diego CA. Found them one line . This is a step up from when grand ma used to put tissues in bra ! LoL. Also try gold bond powder or other anti fungal powder or OTC anti fungal cream after clearing with your doctor of course.
Christianeon December 4, 2016 at 11:13 pm
I just wanted to suggest to take corn starch instead of Gold bond because it’s the same stuff but they had chemicals in it for preservation (apparently It helps to preserve but corn starch is one of the best and versatile product that ever exist with many anti-bacterial, anti-viral and fungal and so on in it… I also wanted to add that I too i’m very picky with the material i wear and always check the label. Cotton, bamboo is new to me and i love it, wool, leather etc… even my household has to be as closest as possible to true material like wood. I’m sick of finding plastic in everything and everywhere. Today i was actually looking up for a pillow i saw on FB. The filling inside is call Fossflakes so i want to know what the flakes are made up of and that’s how i fell on your site… This is the ingredients i found… The filling material of the Fossflakes Superior Comfort-U Body Pillow Senior is a unique blend of 70% Fossflakes Essentials (polyethylene) and 30% Fossflakes Clusters (siliconized polyester fibers)…. How good is that? Completely turned me off… too bad it was a nice body pillow.
Connie Andersonon December 14, 2014 at 7:21 am
I am a highly sensitive person. It was near impossible to find school clothes as a kid. Acrylic must not breathe. I get so hot in it. It would be good for park as. I usually stick to cotton with a hint of something else so it won’t shrink. I couldn’t stomach polyester. But I love microfiber in blankets, etc. It is just impossible to find clothes that don’t scratch, don’t make me feel like I am in a sauna, pinch, bind, etc. I love to dress nice for work, outings, etc.. But, like you said: too many synthetic materials and very cheap sewing from third world countries (WomanWithin).
Jessicaon November 22, 2014 at 2:08 pm
I, too, wear predominantly natural fibers. Pretty much all of the observations made in others’ comments are why synthetics don’t work for me. (My body does seem to do fine in rayon, although I did not know it was so polluting to create). I especially like bamboo–it is so soft and silky, but I don’t know if it, too, requires a creation process that is not environmentally friendly.
In less than two months my son is getting married (a winter wedding in Houston). His bride really wants me to wear a formal mother-of-the-groom dress to conform with her mom’s and stepmom’s choice in wedding wear. I’ve been urged NOT to wear black, but after hours of searching, I am not finding natural fibers in formal wear (except black). Does anyone have a suggestions as to where to look? I have olive skin but could wear deep teal, forest or sage green, deep plum, some browns–like chocolate, navy. I’d like 3/4 or long sleeves or a jacket if dress is sleeveless. I’m about 5’7″, (38AA), 140lbs. (Size 8-10.) The bride’s desire is that I wear tea-length or maxi hem. I’d prefer to spend $250 or less (so probably no silk), and want to be able to use the dress again.
Thanks for any leads.
Sylviaon November 22, 2014 at 3:00 pm
Hi Jessica. You may like to look at this article for inspiration https://40plusstyle.com/how-to-dress-mother-of-the-bride/even though prices tend to be quite high for this store. Other than that it will be a matter of trying every store. I found this dress https://40plusstyle.com/the-blue-green-party-dress/at Cos, which is a (brushed) pure cotton, but you will need to lucky to find something like this. You can also check my selection of dresses here which come in a variety of fabrics: https://40plusstyle.com/fabulous-dresses-and-tunics/Good luck and enjoy the wedding! (By the way, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event; I once made the mistake of not spending enough on a major event so I do believe in spending more for special events like this. Perhaps you could consider a silk dress after all).
Ninaon November 23, 2014 at 1:39 am
Hi, Jessica. I second Kate’s separates suggestion. I chose separates for my friend’s wedding who had a similar request. Her wedding was held in the middle of summer. She had a 3-color scheme that flattered most skin tones. I wore an olive linen ensemble – maxi skirt, tank, collared jacket – and it turned out great!
Kateon November 22, 2014 at 11:29 pm
Hello Jessica,
I firmly believe that formality exists on a continuum. I completely understand both your future daughter-in-law’s wish that you dress formally and avoid black (it really is overrated and overdone), and your desire to find something in a natural fibre and flattering, rewearable cut. My advice is separates! Separates can look as formal as you wish them to be – a full, floor-length ball gown skirt and matching bustier can be white tie appropriate – or the very same skirt can be more casual when paired with a blouse or a simple cashmere jumper. You can also select a sleeker skirt silhouette. I will post some image links later. I am currently on my Ipad which makes switching between windows very difficult.
Lalaon November 11, 2014 at 10:59 am
Hi 🙂
Yeah I’m the same too. It seems as though here in the UK,people don’t pay much attention to materials when buying clothing and are sometimes ready to fork out £100 on a polyester dress which cost £10 pounds to make just because of the brand name. Quality is often forgotten. However I’m French and in France ,people pay much more attention to those kinds of things. You’ll often see people asking the shop assistants what material the clothing is made out of just as you do.
The following rule tends to be true over there: The more high market the shop,the more natural materials they use and when they use sythetic it can be a mix of very good quality stuff.
I however, CANNOT wear polyester or acrylic for more than an hour or 2 as it makes me sweat soo much and for some reason it also tends to make my sweat smelly which is something I don’t get from cotton or wool. 🙂 Makes me itch too. BUT I find that good quality gymwear is almost always synthetic and I prefer it to cotton sports wear which just seems to absorb all the humidity. Pretty interesting contradiction really 🙂
Lauraon October 31, 2014 at 7:59 am
I agree with you that I avoid buying synthetic fabrics whenever possible. My body seems even more sensitive to breath-ability because I find even synthetic athletic fabrics that say specifically that they are breathable are not breathable enough for my body. Does anyone else out there find athletic garments that say they are breathable not breathable enough? I can wear something from cotton or wool and feel comfortable but when I put on something synthetic in the same environment I am suddenly hot and uncomfortable. I can wear a mix of the two fabrics and depending on the percentages, I can feel comfortable. A little synthetic material (<20%) is usually fine for me.

I also shop by looking at labels due to the lack of breathability for the synthetics. It is really tough to find natural and breathable clothes that are stylish and available locally.
One Berton October 5, 2014 at 12:10 am
Polyester is superior to cotton. All Nike Dri-fit and Adidas Climate Control apparel is made of 100 percent polyester. It fits better, keeps you dry, keeps it’s size, retains it’s color, and doesn’t stains easily contrary to what the writer would have you believe. This article is nonsense when it comes to that fabric…
Sylviaon October 5, 2014 at 2:16 pm
For sport yes as it needs to do different things. Here in Singapore I also prefer the dryfit sportswear to cotton but for normal wear polyester is definitely not the way to go.
Kateon October 8, 2014 at 2:08 am
No, One Bert, this article isn’t rubbish. Polyester is not superior at all. I suggest not buying into the marketing hype, but studying the actual science behind the making of polyester. Feel free to wear your plastic, but don’t tout its superiority to others who know more about fabrics.

I have respiratory reactions to synthetic fabrics; polyester and rayon being the worst. (Even washing the item doesn’t help). I am able to wear a small amount of cotton clothing with spandex content below my waist but cannot wear spandex above my waist – again the respiratory reactions, including a headache. I wear 100% cotton tees, and tank tops when exercising. Cotton and small amount of spandex content for the bottoms. I don’t have any trouble finding cotton tops and I shop online often. For dress selections I am limited to cotton and silk and the search for dresses is challenging. Fabric content is first thing I check. It is a comfort to know that I am not alone in this difficulty of searching for synthetic free clothing.
Sylviaon October 4, 2014 at 2:22 pm
Hi Shirley, Wow I never realised reactions to synthetic clothing could be so severe. Thanks a lot for your feedback.
Lauraon September 20, 2014 at 4:57 am
I will not buy anything with any amount of polyester in it. I sweat a lot as it is. UGH. Even stores like GAP are now adding a lot of poly to their tees, etc. Fabric content is the first consideration after looks for me.
Heatheron September 19, 2014 at 6:51 pm
I hate wearing anything synthetic and living in the tropics means I need natural fibres. I found it really hard to find anything made of natural fibres when I first came to Singapore years ago so I started making my own clothes again. Now I think there is a little more available in natural fibres but I have more selection and control of what works for me with going to the fabric markets and sewing. I do not mind the creases that natural fabric give, and yes polyester fabric does not crease and always looks good but it is not a fabric for the humid weather. I always check the fabric labels before I purchase anything. I wish they were easier to find on the garments as sometimes there are none.
Sylviaon September 19, 2014 at 7:01 pm
Yes you’re right that details are sometimes hard to find here. I don’t think there are specific regulations here (as I know there are in Europe). Well done for creating your own clothes!
Jeanette Ballon September 19, 2014 at 1:44 pm
Totally agree about synthetics – here in Australia where it is hot and most of the population live on the coast (read:humid) our stores are filled with polyester garments.
lizon September 2, 2014 at 5:39 am
Yes!! I ALWAYS look at fabric type. Polyester is a total deal breaker for me, too. Bummer as it seems to have replaced cotton in a lot of clothing lately. I, too, have noticed that higher end stores are selling garments with poly, and for an arm and a leg. They would have to pay ME to wear such things.
Thanks for this article.
caton August 11, 2014 at 7:48 pm
I always check the labels, hate buying polyester for the same reasons – it looks cheaper and makes me feel ‘damp’. Why are manufacturers ignoring more natural products? Why aren’t designers using more viscose, which still breathes and can look like jersey, silk, or cotton? I find shopping incredibly frustrating, as most dresses are either entirely polyester, or a polyester spandex mix. I have heard about higher quality polyester having more breathable properties, but not yet found it, even by feeling the material. I am not a pure material fanatic, as viscose or rayon is fine with me, but having a wider choice of materials available would be nice.
EmiyAnn Frances Mayon June 6, 2014 at 6:07 am
Keith, well thought out comments based on your own experiences. For me, some natural fibers are also very disagreeable since I’m allergic to goats hair and certain woolens make me itch. I once worked with an interfacing that contained goats hair (I think it was Armo hair canvas) while making a dressmaker suit. My hands began to itch and turn very red. I had not checked the content of the interfacing before buying. Although Armo gives a lovely shaping to a woman’s suit for someone like me it would result in a very costly visit to the dermatologist.
What I’m trying to say is that we all have different needs and different responses to fibers. There should always be a variety available. What needs to be done is find a way to creatively recycle all kinds of fibers when our clothing is no longer serviceable as a garment for ourselves or as a give-away to others.
If I have a year end bonus I could splurge on something lovely but the hard cold reality is that luxury items during this prolonged recession are the province of those who can afford to buy them without having an impact on their other responsibilities. If one can do so they by all means enjoy your shopping and spending. make your choices and respect the choices others make.
Keithon June 1, 2014 at 9:48 am
I just looked at all the shirts I love the most and they are either 100% polyester or a high percentage mix. To me, when polyester is turned into the right kind of fabric, it is the coolest, most breathable, and no unsightly sweating color change when outdoors in some nice hot sun. My exercise wear is all polyester, and I have grown to hate cotton for all it’s flaws in the heat. If I want to keep warm, then I’ll use cotton. Wool is an itchy nightmare. Hand or gently washing my synthetics, and hanging to dry, keeps them so perfect compared to cotton. I wonder why women’s polyester clothing isn’t as wonderful as I think it is.
I got here looking for more info about fabrics, so surprised to see dislike for synthetics.
Kateon September 12, 2014 at 10:01 pm
Keith, I apologise for being blunt, but polyester really isn’t a wonderful fabric. As polyester is essentially plastic (it’s a petroleum-based polymer), science has proven over and over again that it does not breathe at all. I really don’t know why you would call your polyester shirts breathable, when every chemist will confirm that polyester fibres do not possess breathability unless you cut holes in the fabric. When wearing polyester you are essentially wrapping your body in a plastic bin liner (from a chemical persepctive): http://www.essentialchemicalindustry.org/polymers/polyesters.html
Also, cotton doesn’t really keep you very warm at all. It is a breathable fibre with a high water absorption capacity (polyester repels water, btw). Cotton is a fibre suitable for warm climates. It’s not good for cold, wet weather as it has quite poor insulation capabilities. This is a fibre characteristic, and not dependent on the weave.
I don’t really understand why you would call wool an itchy nightmare unless you are perhaps allergic to lanolin. Merino wool is well-known for its heat retention and insulation abilities, and has been used by outdoorsmen for centuries. The shepherds and farmers in the mountains of Bavaria, Austria, and Switzerland still wear specially woven woolen jackets, cloaks and coats because they protect so well from the elements. Essential in an area where the weather can go from a pleasant 20 C with clear blue skies to a snow and hail storm within 60 to 90 minutes.

Hi all! I am ALSO trying very hard to avoid polyester in my wardrobe….but its REALLY difficult! Any suggestions of North American retailers that do a good job of staying away from synthetics, and still offer stylish clothes?
Arielon April 14, 2014 at 11:06 pm
The thing with polyester textiles is the wide variety of types of fibers that are not included in the tag. Polyester is a polymer, basically plastic. That means that you can mold it into whatever you want, and there are polyester threads of widely different properties. In most cases, the more noticable difference comes in the filament count. There are many polyester fabrics that are indistiguishable in comfort and properties to cotton, because of a high filament count and a good quality texturizing process (not to mention microfilaments, which have great properties). But it is harder and more expensive to make than polyester with a higher filament count, so most clothing made from polyester is of the lower-grade. The thing is, in the cases where higher quality polyester is used there is no mention of it in the tag, because, in essence, it’s still polyester. You can also give the textile all kinds of inherent properties, from flame-retardancy to impermeability. My point is, don’t hate on polyester because most of is low-grade, and don’t rely entirely on the tag; feel the clothing first, usually it’s enough to tell.
Sylviaon April 15, 2014 at 1:44 pm
Yes very true Ariel. But as you say it’s not easy to determine how good the polyester is when you’re in the shops….
Lauraon September 20, 2014 at 5:03 am
There would be no way to know how hot a garment will feel in the summer without buying it first, so I just do not buy it. Feeling it by hand is not enough. It all feels awful to me anyway.
Ninaon February 17, 2014 at 2:49 am
Tired of suffering through scoring desert summers, I jumped on the not-polyester train with gusto in the fall of 2012. My closet is now cotton, linen, silk, and rayon. It’s heaven.
Sylviaon February 17, 2014 at 7:26 am
Yes it can make a real difference!
EmilyAnn Frances Mayon February 14, 2014 at 5:39 am
I agree with your commenters about the quality and beauty of natural fibers. I want to add a different point of view concerning the price of clothing and affordability. Given the ongoing difficult times many are having in this economy, many people are obtaining necessities like clothing by buying the lowest price items possible. Synthetics and blends are widely available for many lower income people. Consider how much money a wardrobe for the office would cost a secretary making $30K per year. A pure wool suit would be at least $200. A wool blend much less and a polyester suit would cost maybe $50. When rents consume over half the monthly take home pay, there are many considerations to make when purchasing things like clothing.
For those who can afford natural fiber clothing and fabrics for sewing one way to help out is to donate these high quality garments to charities that help outfit women who are re-entering the workforce after completing an educational program. Or pass the clothing on to people you know who need some helping out.
I think some solution can be reached by finding ways to recycle synthetic fibers like they do in Japan.
Sylviaon February 14, 2014 at 1:31 pm
Yes very good point EmilyAnn and great suggestions!
Omkarion December 31, 2013 at 2:06 am
Not only are synthetics (especially polyester) uncomfortable to wear, they are not healthy for you or the environment. They off-gas in the landfill, take years and years to decompose (if ever) and don’t allow your body to naturally release toxins. People who have to manufacture this “textile” and make garments from it are at a great health risk. Studies have proven that these workers are showing higher incidents of breast and lung cancer. Don’t buy polyesters!! This is the only way the clothing industry will listen…. when their polyester, health risk garments remain on the racks and the natural fibered ones are purchased and adorning our beautiful, healthy bodies.
Sylviaon December 31, 2013 at 6:09 pm
Thanks for the feedback Omkari. I hope many women will read this and stop buying less polyester. Sofar the amount of polyester only seems to increase in shops….
Delaneyon April 30, 2015 at 1:02 pm
Hi, I don’t know how old this article is since I can’t find a date on it so I’m sorry if I’m beating a dead horse. I just wanted to correct you when you said that polyester is bad for the environment. Sure, it’s not the best, but it’s more or less the same as cotton as far as impact is concerned. The extra energy needed to create polyester is about equal to the energy saved from laundering polyester in comparison to cotton. In addition, polyester is recyclable and can thus be turned into a new blouse, skirt, or whatever after it’s been soiled whereas cotton is turned into insulation or other uses. Also, if reference to the scientific process, yes you are wearing plastic when wearing polyester, but you are wearing plastic textiles which naturally have holes in them as a result of being woven together. The size of the threads can be determined giving polyester textiles all different feels to them, which is why in my experience I’ve never felt like I was wearing a plastic bag on a hot day, in fact many of my summer blouses are made from polyester. It’s quite a versatile fabric, and while certain pieces of clothing aren’t suitable for a hot day, it’s because that’s not what it was made for.
Crissyon December 8, 2013 at 5:03 am
I recently became aware of the natural feel of wearing 100% cotton clothes. I haven’t purchased anything synthetic this entire year and I’ve never felt better in my clothes. I also switched all my bed sheets, blankets and towels to 100% cotton as well. The feel of natural fibers in your life is so worth it, i recommend it to anyone!
Sylviaon December 8, 2013 at 11:08 am
Yes, it makes a real difference. Thanks for your feedback Crissy!
Sheilon April 28, 2013 at 3:27 am
I’d add my voice to everyone who doesn’t touch polyester with a barge pole. It’s both uncomfortable and ugly, cheap looking. I can spot it at 100 metres. I don’t mind viscose since it seems breathable and keeps well. I’m ok with buying mixed garments – cotton or other natural fibres with man made, as long as there’s not too much in it. I find in the right proportion, they help each other and can make for a good product.
I won’t buy acrylic products either because they degenerate very quickly and find it an inferior ‘wool’.
In a tropical climate, I would certainly want to buy natural fibres. I don’t know how people manage to wear anything else. I can only assume they are made into very loose garments(?)
I do prefer natural products, but can’t always afford them, and some/many are often of inferior quality. Some linen garments are really itchy. I don’t know if it’s just me. A good linen product is a thing of love, to me. It is cherished.
Sylviaon April 28, 2013 at 8:29 am
Thank you for taking part in this conversation Shell and giving feedback!
Aliceon March 11, 2013 at 5:50 pm
I’ve enjoyed reading the comments on this. I live in Brisbane, a sub-tropical climate with usually hot, humid summers. The only way I can keep cool is to wear cotton garments. I’ve been dismayed lately at the amount of viscose clothes in the cheaper clothing shops recently. I bought a couple of viscose tops (one woven, the other knit fabric) to see how I went with them but they wrinkle badly after hanging in the wardrobe, even when they came off the line fairly wrinkle free after drip-drying; and I’m sure they’ve also shrunk – so I think these will be heading for the bin soonish – a waste of money. So back to reading labels on garments in the search for cotton. Good quality cotton, knit or woven, can have very good wearability properties, but it’s hard to find. So the shops won’t be making much money out of me buying new clothes as I’ll be on my perpetual search for cotton. I find it great even in winter – as well as allowing your skin to breathe, it insulates your body to the temperature you need.
Something new that has appeared lately are garments made of knit linen. I’ve bought a few and find they’re very comfortable to wear, don’t wrinkle and don’t need ironing like woven linen.
Has anybody had any experience with clothes made from bamboo, which also seems to be around?
Sylviaon March 11, 2013 at 7:11 pm
thanks for your feedback Alice. I’ve personally not experienced bamboo yet, but hopefully others will see it and give you your feedback..
Greetjeon March 12, 2013 at 2:04 pm
No sorry, I don’t have any experience with bamboo either. Am intrigued by the knit linen. Should be lovely, linen and not creasing. Wow. Have not seen that in the shops yet.
Carmenon September 24, 2014 at 11:33 am
Most of my casual blouses are made of bamboo. I purchase them from Chicago’s Merchandise Mart during a once a year One Of A Kind Christmas shopping featuring different designers in the USA and Canada, sometimes Asia. I love this material. I was not careful with washing them the first time, now I treat them with TLC as I replenish them. Gentle wash cold and delicate or no heat dry process. Hang to completely dry, no need to iron.

AOon February 12, 2013 at 7:59 am
As someone who sews I have a passion for fabrics and can tell what a cloth is by the feel and so understand the pros and cons of synthetic fibers. The cons are many the pros are few. Why anyone would want to wear a cheap synthetic fiber I can’t understand. Especially as underpants – eck. People forget we are ourselves organic creatures. Wrap smoked ham in plastic wrap and it will sweat and smell yet if you use a ham cloth it will last a while. Common sense. Ego overcomes sense and the desire for fashion at an affordable price dictates & guides the ego. I do own some synthetic items (its almost impossible to avoid them now) yet I look at the quality feel and weigh it against the price, however in some case they make sense as in quality outdoor and protective clothing, and women’s bras have used synthetics for years but are still able to be comfortable and long wearing. What most people don’t understand is that its all about price and making a buck. The almighty bottom dollar. Natural fabrics take time and money to produce. Synthetics quick and easy. The price of cotton world wide has risen and so producers are adding synthetics to make it stretch out and cut their costs. Bottom line is if people buy they will continue to use it. Its is the consumer that dictates. I personally have spent big money on gorgeous silk and natural fiber items. In turn I look after my garments and they last. I’m not adverse to a bit of viscose/acrylic but the items don’t last and end up in the rag bag. I’m sure many readers have been devastated when they have to throw out a cherished silk, linen or cotton item, not because it looks like a dish cloth or has little lumpy bits, or even lost its shape but because after years and years of wear it just simply wore out, yet it still managed to look and feel great right to the end – and I bet compliments have been given on it as well. Think quality over quantity. But the world of fast food fashion is brain washing the masses.
Antheaon January 22, 2013 at 10:44 pm
I loved reading your comments here – I’ve often thought I’m alone in the irritation I feel – physically – if I try to wear polyester or acrylic – and mentally, when I see shops full of these fabrics. But now I’m noticing how many garments say that they’re viscose, when they look and feel like polyester. I’m wanting to buy some summer clothes to head off to Africa: it’s only when I reach the heat that the acid test hits I you know the truth of what I’ve bought [it’s snowing now where I live so little chance of finding out at home]. Does anyone know a way – prior to reaching the sunshine – of telling whether something truly is viscose or polyester?
Sylviaon January 22, 2013 at 11:28 pm
In school we always did burning tests. Viscose, being cellulose, would burn rapidly, leaving an ashy residue that smells of burnt paper. Polyester melts and has a more oily smell, with black smoke. All this will not be of much use in shops though, so all you can do is trust the label…
Marlenaon September 12, 2014 at 2:12 am
Yes, there is a good way and that is to feel the fabric. Viscose has a cool feel to it. When you touch it you will know what I mean, it just does not seem to warm at all even if you have warm hands. It always seems cooler. It also has a more “meaty”, or “weighty” feel in your hand.
Polyester on the other hand feels more rough and unbreathable. It feels like plastic, as if you can wrap your hand in it and it will almost be waterproof. Feels like if you rub your hair against it it will be static.
If you do not feel this way about the fabric then it ia probably a blend with cotton or similar, and the bad effects will not be as strong and I would say it is safe to buy.
Hope it helps! Please check out my blog as fabrics and accessible quality fashion is the topic as I am so passionate about it!

I have long held a passion for quality fibres and, if selected carefully, they can be a fantastic investment.
The first myth I would like to dispel is that they need to cost a lot more than man-made fabrics. Yes, they can be extortionate, but shop around and you can find some very good items which are realistically priced. The initial outlay for man-made fibres may be less, but in all likelihood, the product won’t last as well or look as good.
Secondly, I couldn’t agree more with Sylvia about the qualities of nature fibres versus man-made fibres. A scarf made of 100% acrylic may be a bright splash of colour on a dull winter’s day, but it won’t keep you as warm as one with cashmere or silk.
Additionally, a beautiful silk scarf needn’t been reserved for cold days – it can still be worn on a summer’s evening because, as Sylvia points out, it allows the skin to breath. You’d look pretty daft with an acrylic bundle wrapped around you, so that scarf is going to stay in your drawer for half the year unused! Doesn’t seem quite such good value now, does it?
As a retailer of pure silk scarves, I come across a percentage of ladies everyday who simply wouldn’t spend the money on this sort of item. They love it, they stroke it, they covet it – but they won’t buy it because they consider it too extravagant. Sure, we all have a budget. However, spending a few more pounds on something wonderful can make us feel top of the world.
Kateon August 13, 2014 at 8:27 pm
Dear Sophie,
How very true! I, too, pay lots of attention to fibre composition and details such as stitching. You are spot on in your assessment that most people only look at the purchase price. I have a formula that I use when buying clothing: purchase price divided by the number of times I wear the item. I have a lovely Diane von Furstenberg silk wrap dress that I bought at Harrods (fellow Brit here 🙂 ) for full price several years ago along with a Burberry jacket.
Both items together were quite expensive indeed (almost 800 quid), but this is a dress that I can wear all year long. I probably wear it 25 times in an average year — with tights and a woolen coat in winter, and with bare legs and open-toed shoes on a cool summer day. I handwash it and put it on a towel to dry. The same is true for my Burberry jacket — lots of wear and washes (despite a dry cleaning only label), but it still looks great. I figure that my “cost-per-wear” for the DvF dress, which was roughly £275, is little more than £1.
The lesson is to not just look at the price on the shop’s tag, but to calculate how much wear you’ll get out of it. You may be surprised to find that the seemingly high-priced designer item is less expensive than a £25 dress from Primark or Matalan that falls apart after two times in the wash.
Elizabethon October 18, 2012 at 7:16 am
This becomes a problem when you are into vintage clothing……. 😛
In any case, I start itching if I so much as LOOK at acrylic.
Melinda Nowerson April 23, 2012 at 10:53 pm
So glad I found your blog….and yes, I am picky. Although every once and awhile, I do break my own rules. I am a stylist and explain this every time to my clients.

I am so happy I read your opinions! I was in London this weekend and I was shocked to discover that about 95 percent of clothes in the shops was from polyester!!!! I would never buy it, it’s disgusting, you immediately sweat, it’s full of static electricity and it looks cheap… At the end I didn’t buy anything which never happened to me in LONDON! I stilll wonder who wears it? And why is it so widespread this year?! please STOP IT!!!!!
Sylviaon April 16, 2012 at 6:31 pm
Hi Tania, I think it’s because people want more clothes for less money. I think we have to get the focus back on quality again and getting people to buy less clothes but higher quality. This is one thing I will try and do more this year.
Kateon April 24, 2014 at 4:23 am
This is very true: fewer clothes and more quality! I love vintage shopping, and thanks to growing up with a hobby seamstress mum, I know quite a bit about fabrics and sewing techniques. Most modern clothing — even in the middle to upper price ranges — cannot hold a candle to vintage items.
I don’t know if you are familiar with Marks & Spencer, a British retailer in the lower-price category — what I’d call typical high street. They’ve been around since the 1880s and used to have all their clothing made in the UK. Their house label was called St Michael. Two years ago, I bought a 1950s tweed skirt with box pleats from that label. The fabric is amazing: thick wool tweed woven in Scotland; ample seam allowances, finished edges, hand stitching (in the pleats, buttonholes), darts in the lining to prevent bunching, etc. The attention to detail is amazing, and is only available in couture clothing these days.
This skirt was made for the average woman, not a society lady, and it is almost 60 years old, but it still looks great. I am almost certain that most of our clothing won’t be around anymore in 60 years as it will have fallen apart.
Kim,USAon April 13, 2012 at 12:53 am
I do have a problem with polyester. It sticks on my skin when I am sweating and just don’t have any flow or body. I also feel very uncomfortable it hug the bulges on the body, lol! I love cotton. ^_^
Sylviaon April 13, 2012 at 1:57 pm
Exactly why I don’t like it!
Robinon February 18, 2014 at 7:30 am
Kim-What do you wear for exercising? Almost all workout wear is made of polyester or poly blends. It’s purpose is to wear while sweating.
Kateon April 24, 2014 at 4:08 am
I am not the one you asked, but I wear cotton leotards with a bit of lycra. I used to dance ballet at a professional level (3 hours of training 5 days per week for 20 years) and am very fit. The problem is that an athlete’s body sweats more than average people, because their bodies are so efficient. I sweat quite a bit.
Of course, cotton absorbs sweat, and I just live with the fact that my leotard or other clothing will be soaked after 15 to 20 minutes. I’ll just take it off when I am done, shower, and put it in the wash. I went for a 10km run with my husband the other day, and wore cotton shorts and a tank top. It was okay. I just don’t like the feel of artifical fibres.
Nanneon April 10, 2012 at 3:37 pm
I try to stay away from some synthetic fabrics, and I won’t buy for instance acrylic knits. I don’t like polyester either, at least not anything that’s 100 % polyester, but some blends can be ok, like in blazers which is not worn in direct contact with my skin. And I do like milano fabric in pants and dresses for winter, which I think contains a small amount of polyester. I like wearing viscose garments too, too bad that it’s not environmentally friendly. And of course I totally agree when it comes to sportswear, as I’m a jogger and need moisture wicking clothing for that.
Sylviaon April 10, 2012 at 6:01 pm
I think they CAN make it environmentally friendly if companies are just willing to make the investment of getting the proper filters. I agree polyester can fine in blends or for blazers. I have succumbed to a blazer with a blend as well. Will see how it goes…
Greetje Kammingaon April 6, 2012 at 5:45 pm
I like your list. Now I finally know what “Modal” is. Always wondered about that.
Synthetics don’t bother me at all. Not even during my hot flashes period (which, thank God, are over). They might bother me a bit more when it is really hot. But when you live in Holland you don’t really have to take sunshine into consideration. LOL.
Therefore I never look at the label. Which sometimes gives me a nasty surprise: like a white shirt that calls for dry cleaning only….. And I know you are right Sylvia, that manufacturers put these things on labels for no reason other than to avoid claims, but I don’t dare to take the chance of washing it myself.
Wool is difficult for me. It irritates often, which I feel immediately when I put it on. And it pills quickly which means it looks shabby in no time. Exceptions to that rule are cool wools and cashmere. And then we are talking serieus money.
Sylviaon April 6, 2012 at 8:07 pm
You are lucky. Unlimited choices in the shop!
Greetje Kammingaon April 6, 2012 at 8:17 pm

Heather Fonsecaon April 6, 2012 at 9:37 am
WOnderful post! I love that list of fabrics as I’ve forgotten so much as well.
On polyester, I think I dislike the idea of it more than the reality. I do have polyester garments and they don’t bother me at all physically. Wool, on the other hand, is impossible on my skin as I have a lanolin allergy. I do really dislike acrylic sweaters though and I won’t buy the,m as they tend to pill. Wish I could afford more silk! And cashmere!
Sylviaon April 6, 2012 at 10:47 am
I usually wait for the sales to snap up the silk. It’s just the most perfect fabric for dressy blouses and tops in Singapore!

I am 48. I avoid polyester in most cases. Though I will buy something in polyester if it is lightweight and “breezy” and for just a season or two. Now that I am having hot flashes, synthetic fabrics are harder for me. But I do love a ponte knit pant or skirt in the Winter.
I do however, not like cotton for exercising. It is just too hot and sticky to work in AND get approriate coverage. So I do tend to go toward synthetics for excersing.
Sylviaon April 6, 2012 at 12:04 pm
Thanks for your comment Issy. I too use sportswear for exercizing. Should probably have mentioned that in my article!

I always prefer natural fibers because my skin can breathe more freely in them. However, today the quality of the synthetic fibers are much better that what they used to be so once in a while if I love something I’ll pick it up. As far as evening gowns go, I don’t have much of a choice because silk can go for a thousand or more.
Sylviaon April 6, 2012 at 10:46 am
Yes, you will need to be creative with evening gowns. Lucky I don’t have many black tie events!
Kateon April 24, 2014 at 3:57 am
As a lady who attends many white and black tie events, I cannot agree that silk dresses will go for that much money. I’ve been able to find wonderful dresses and gowns made of pure silk at incredible bargain prices. I don’t shop in designer boutiques, but rather on-line, in vintage shops and dress agencies. Also, I am a decent seamstress and that certainly helps.
I loathe synthetic fibres, and avoid them at all costs. I am dismayed that so many clothing manufacturers offer polyester, nylon, and other man-made materials. Is it my imagination or was there lots more silk clothing in shops just a few years ago? I seem to remember that not even 10 years ago many dresses were made of silk. I have some Ann Taylor Loft dresses from that time, and they are 100% silk. Now, even Ann Taylor offers more polyester than anything else.
The first thing I do when looking at a garment is checking the label for fibre content. If it doesn’t meet my specifications I won’t buy it. I don’t care how pretty it is. I do make an exception for viscose, which, although it wrinkles easily, is fairly pleasant to wear. I find that viscose can be handwashed and dried on a towel without losing its shape or shrinking too much.
Anne @ the Frump Factoron April 6, 2012 at 12:45 am
I buy a lot of cotton/polyester blends, which (in my view) give me the best of both worlds while avoiding the pitfalls of both. I also like viscose and some rayons. Mostly, though, I don’t go by the label; I go by the look and feel of the garment. If it looks too shiny, feels scratchy, or doesn’t breathe, I probably won’t buy it. And even some all-natural fabrics fail this test.
Synthetic fibers have come a long way. I don’t think it’s quite true any more that all polyesters don’t breathe. (Isn’t athletic wear often made of polyester fabrics that actually wick sweat away from the body?) So I really just go by look and feel. Do I love well-made garments created exclusively from high-quality, natural fabrics? Yes, of course. Can I afford to buy them all the time? No.
Anne @ the Frump Factoron April 6, 2012 at 1:37 am
Oops — one of your alert readers already pointed out the athletic wear issue. Sorry! 🙂
Sylviaon April 6, 2012 at 10:44 am
A cotton/polyester blend can work well. I guess I have just become extra sensitive to polyester as it really is too hot for Singapore. Synthetics are definitely great for sports!
Cynthiaon April 5, 2012 at 9:50 pm
When the hot southern summer sun hits polyester, it is NOT a pretty thing. I have a whole Pinterest board called “Too Bad It’s Polyester” for things I like the look of but will never buy.
I learned in lampworking class that many synthetic fabrics basically conduct heat into your core. I made the mistake of wearing a cotton/rayon or maybe cotton/poly blend tee to class one day and could feel the fabric heat up and heat me up. Had to change so I wouldn’t heat stroke. Sun on any kind of high poly blend has the same effect at a lower intensity.
For day wear, I can do viscose/rayon, although I notice that it heats up in the sun more and doesn’t breathe as well as cotton or linen. Microfiber exercise wear and woven technical fabrics are a totally different animal and don’t seem to cause the same issues as poly. My Athleta capris are comfortable in the summer.
Sylviaon April 5, 2012 at 11:09 pm
What a great idea to make such a pinboard! I might consider doing that as well. Perhaps it will make manufacturers more aware that we DO care about fabric quality.
Krison April 5, 2012 at 9:23 pm
I agree totally. I will occasionally buy blends, and like Ana, I don’t mind a bit of spandex to make things more comfortable, but totally polyester- no way! As “hot flash Hannah”, I have to be cool and comfortable, or I am not a nice person! As a bit of a contradiction, however, I am finding that exercise-wear made of microfiber are comfortable, and I even sleep in “long johns” made of poly microfiber, because they DO seem to breathe, and I have found that keeping my body temp relatively constant helps to stave off night sweats. I think that is because they are knits, and not wovens, and they are a far cry from my grandmother’s bright green polyester doubleknit pants. Microfiber feels ok on my skin, and in athletic weaves, it seems to wick the perspiration away pretty effectively. Maybe manufacturers are actually using their brains for a change!
Sylviaon April 5, 2012 at 11:07 pm
Good point Kris. Most of my sportswear is synthetic too. Special fabrics that keep you drier when you sport. For some reason I can tolerate those and specially made dry-fit fabrics do help with sport!
Anaon April 5, 2012 at 6:28 pm
No, it’s definitely not just you. As a general rule, I absolutely detest completely synthetic fabrics. I’ve accepted that a lot of times, I’m going to get something with a pretty low synthetic mix — say 5-15% — and I can live with that. I don’t mind a tiny bit of spandex in a pair of otherwise cotton jeans, and such, but pure polyester or acrylic just gives me the shivers. Very much a case of too-often being cheap and shoddy-looking, and also, I just hate the way it feels. Borderline synthetics like Modal and Viscose are basically OK with me, because they breathe.
If I lived in a climate as hot as yours, I’m sure I’d hate it even more than I do.
Sylviaon April 5, 2012 at 11:04 pm
Yes, I’m ok with Spandex too and if the fabric looks decent and I really like the garment, I sometimes go for mixes…
Chicatanyageon April 5, 2012 at 2:21 pm
Interesting. I do try to avoid polyester. Thought viscose was more natural and made of wood pulp. I find it a lot in quite expensive clothes
Sylviaon April 5, 2012 at 10:56 pm
You are right, that is why viscose is still breathes like cotton. But there are chemicals involved with the creation and apparently it’s very polluting. Here is what wikipedia says:
At first wood pulp is dissolved in caustic soda and after steeping it for a specified period of time it is shredded and allowed to age. Aging contributes to viscosity of viscose. The longer the ageing time the less viscosity it will have. The aged pulp is then treated with carbon disulfide to form a yellow-colored cellulose xanthate, which is dissolved in caustic soda again, but of a lower concentration. This is the starting stage of viscose formation. During the process an acetate dope is added to alkali cellulose which is necessary for the yarn lustre. Viscose currently is becoming less common because of the polluting effects of carbon disulfide and other by-products of the process, forcing some factories to close. One way to comply with sulphur emission standards is to install a wet sulfuric acid process unit which recovers sulfur compounds to sulfuric acid or use the Lyocell process which uses N-Methylmorpholine N-oxide as solvent.
Let’s hope they do that.
Tangobabeon April 5, 2012 at 2:12 pm
I understand where you both are coming from. For me too, certain fabrics just are too (what I call) ‘plastic’, so I skip those. For underwear, like Sylvia writes, I definitely want cotton to avoid irritation. And for socks cotton and wool, to avoid sweaty or cold feet.
If money was no issue and if my favorite articles would be available in fabrics like cotton, silk or wool, I would choose for that if I consider the feeling, the breathability and sometimes the look.
For me, there is however one other important aspect besides cost and comfort and that is maintenance. The first thing I check in the labels is the wash prescription. My preference is ‘machine washable’: a cheap and easy method. ‘Handwash only’ is not handy, but still acceptable. ‘Dryclean only’ is something I will try to avoid, except for coats. Way too expensive in maintenance and too complicated.
This criterium unfortunately often contradicts the one of comfort and breathability, since fabrics like wool and silk are usually not the ones you just throw in your machine ;-).
And since my style is more one of loose, sheer layers, then of body hugging clothes, breathability is not such a big problem, in general.
Sylviaon April 5, 2012 at 11:02 pm
Totally understand that as well. But the labels are not always reliable. Afraid of claims, labels will always be rather safe than sorry. I find that my silk tops can be washed in water, but yes, they do take additional work…
Tanyaon April 5, 2012 at 9:25 am
I am very picky about fabrics and refuse to buy anything made of polyester, mainly because it doesn’t breathe. I completely agree with you on the disappointment of finding out that designers charge an arm and a leg for polyester.
I used to work in technical sales and picked up some advice about dressing/looking like I don’t need the sale, which meant selecting richer-looking fabrics for my suits. I started with polyester suits due to budget, but after reading that piece of advice, switched to wool and the occasional cotton or cotton blend. What surprised me was how much cooler light-weight wool pants are, even lined, in the heat than polyester.
I also take a note from men’s clothing. Although synthetics are becoming more prevalent, their clothes are still mainly made of natural fibers.
My budget is still limited, so I usually wait until the end of a season to pick up pieces in wool and silk. I’ve been giving viscose/rayon some thought as that fabric is prevalent in the fast fashion stores, but after reading your note on its environmental effects, I may have to reconsider.
Sylviaon April 5, 2012 at 11:00 pm
You are so right about wool. When buying a suit I always went for (cool) wool. Cooler and so much better looking. However, I no longer work in an office and since Singapore is hot, I tend to go for cotton more now.
Andrea Son March 5, 2019 at 4:00 am
So good to realize I am not alone. Although I would love to hear a scientific explanation regarding this. Why are our bodies prone to this and others not? I also check labels. ANY Polyester, forget it. Unfortunately, so many clothing is made from this fabric as it is cheaper than natural fabrics. I was once in a summer wedding when I was in my mid twenties, and wore a long dress with long sleeves, and a high neck. 100% polyester. Back when we still wore nylons and slips, to top it all. One of the most miserable days of my entire life. My nylons had actually bled through and stained my slip by the end of the day. Thank goodness for the slip. Had I understood my problem with polyester then, I would have bowed out as a bridesmaid.

What is the perfect skirt length and skirt type for women over 40?
Let’s talk about skirts today. Getting the right skirt length, but also the right fit and shape, can make all the difference between looking fabulous or looking frumpy between young and hip or a bit old lady.
What is the perfect skirt length for women over 40?
One skirt length that will always be flattering for women over 40 is knee length. I now like my skirts best when they either finish at the top of the knee or just below. However, just above the knee is good too.
What is so flattering about this look is that it shows of your full calve. It creates a slimming elongated look. Avoid getting skirts or dresses that end at the middle (and thickest) part of your calves. The 4 skirts picture above are all either top, middle or just under the knee.
As always, this is just a guideline and certainly not a ‘rule’ set in stone. I still wear my black skirt seen here which is a lot shorter and also my animal print dress which is a lot longer and I wear a mini dress on a summer holiday to the beach. See a few examples below of considered ‘imperfect’ lengths for my age.
I think I can get away with most of these looks. Partly due to the styling and partly due to the type of skirt and how well it fits me.
When you buy a skirt in these more challenging lengths, do have a critical eye and look in the mirror. If you are short, you may actually prefer slightly shorter lengths.Test out several lengths and see what works best for your body and your personality. Then ask yourself these questions: Does it look good on me? Is the skirt length too aging or unflattering? Does it make me look too young? Trust your own instinct!
However, if you want to play it safe then you can never go wrong with knee length skirts. I’m personally aiming for my new skirts and dresses to be exactly knee length, but every now and then I will break that personal rule as the examples above testify. Especially when I see a nice asymmetric cut like my silk red dress.
What type of skirt is best?
The type of skirt that is best for you depends on your body type. However, I can offer some general guidelines.
You will look more sloppy in skirts that are too wide. It’s nice to fit your skirts around your hips and then have a slight A-line or bias cut, rather than having a skirt that is wide all round. I’m a big fan of that the A-line skirt as I showed you in this black and white outfit and this A-line wide pleads skirt. I find that these slight A-line skirts look the most flattering on me. They are very flattering for many women, especially if you have wider hips, bigger legs or wider shoulders as they balance you out.
Straight skirts are considered a more hip option by many. I personally find them harder to wear because I find them less comfortable and often too body-conscious, but if you are comfortable in those areas, they can be very flattering on many women over 40.
Another skirt that looks good on many women is the trumpet skirt. Fitted at the hips and a flare at the bottom.
And, of course, you all know that I’m a big fan of an asymetric skirt like this blue one. This skirt is not really trendy, but more unusual and will never really go out of style.
Other types of skirts
Pleated skirt: This will look best when the pleats do not start at the waist. Be careful with small pleated skirts though as they can age you.
Denim skirt: Can look good but be sure to dress them up a bit. Best not to wear them too short and knee length is best.
Balloon skirts: great for people like me who are relatively straight and have a flat bum. This skirt will give you more shape.
Peasant skirt: needs to be worn with care. Make sure it’s not too wide and too long.
Full skirt: A trickier look to wear for women over 40. I still like my silk pink skirt which is at a perfect length. It’s usually best to wear with a tight top but can also look really nice with a blazer with a hip belt around your waist.
Long skirt: can look nice but may also overwhelm you. In general it’s nicer to show a little leg over 40.
It’s all about the fit
Whether or not a skirt looks good on you or ages you, is all about the fit. I remember an episode of “How do I look”, where a woman was asked to rate 5 outfits in terms of how expensive they were. She got them all wrong. What she had scored as the most expensive outfit was actually the cheapest. And the only reason she had rated that outfit as the most expensive, was because it fit the model perfectly (the most expensive outfits were not fitted that well).
If something fits you well, it not only looks good, it also looks more expensive and will give you more of a young and hip look. So fit in any garment is hugely important. Of course, as mentioned before, pay close attention to your body type to decide which type of skirt is best for you.
Make use of a tailor
When you read the above guidelines and discover some skirts in your wardrobe that just don’t suit your body or don’t fit well, you may be able to take them to a tailor. They can turn A-line skirts into straight ones, lift your waistline or make your really wide skirt more fitted.
Here are some of my favorite skirts in stores now
Please remember, these are just guidelines that will hopefully be of help to you and help you create a young and hip look after 40! Apply them when needed but don’t be afraid to experiment and bend the guidelines whenever it suits you. Trust your own instincts!
Another important factor whether or not your skirt will work or not is to create the right balance within the outfit and apply the rule of thirds. We will discuss that in more detail and lots more in the 40+ Style Course!

What shoes to wear with different styles of pants
In the first part of this two-part series, we tackled how long and short the hems of 9 types of pants should be. The other side of the equation is the constant challenge of what shoes to wear with what pant style. Exactly what shoes should you wear with different styles of pants?
In this updated article featuring shoes you can shop for online right now, we demystify the most flattering shoe-pant combinations. How do you match your shoe styles with your pants?
Shoe options
Below are shoe styles ranging from peep-toe booties to brogues, sandals to slip-ons, which can all be combined with a number of pant styles.
The shoes you have in your closet will very much depend on your style personality.
Rollie derby lace-up flat shoe – Fly London ‘Yala’ perforated sandal – Naturalizer ‘Vera’ ankle strap sandal – Sole Society ‘Candrah’ bootie
Sam Edelman ‘Felicia’ flat – Steve Madden ‘Gemmy’ loafer flat – Marc Fisher LTD ‘Yulunda’ pump – Naturalizer ‘Everly’ pump
Sam Edelman ‘Laurna’ mule – Ted Baker London ‘Mhalil’ slingback pump – Clarks ‘Un Capri’ step platform wedge sandal – JSlides ‘Hippie’ laser platform sneaker
You can also wear long boots with your pants
Given that we are heading into winter, you may also want to consider pants you can wear with knee-high boots.

What to consider when choosing shoes to wear with different styles of pants
Now that you’re thinking about different shoe and boot styles, and which ones you are drawn to, what should you consider when putting these shoes together into a stylish outfit with your pants?
Are there right and wrong options when you choose shoes to wear with different styles of pants?
Think about balance
Just as with the rest of your outfit, matching your shoes to your pants is all about balance. For example, if you are wearing wide, flowing palazzo or wide pants you can wear chunkier shoes, while if you have narrow pants, you may wish to mirror this with your shoe or heel style.

Recreate her outfit with these similar pants, flats, shirt, blazer, clutch bag and earrings.
Start from the bottom up
You may find it easier to think about your outfit in a different way. Start with your shoe selection and think about which pants will go best.
Rather than considering what shoes to wear with different styles of pants, you’ll then be looking at it from the other way around.
This can be a great way to think of different outfit combinations if you find that you’re bored with everything in your closet and you’re looking for outfit inspiration.

The best shoes to pair with every type of pants
Below you will find plenty of examples of which shoes will go with the pants in your closet.
There isn’t only one style of shoes which will match each style of pants, so there are a selection of options for you to choose from.
Ankle pants
It’s important to remember that ankle pants look best when worn immediately above or right on your ankle bone.
When selecting the right shoes, pairing ankle pants with high vamp shoes (booties, loafers, etc.) is the most flattering approach.
Whether flat, medium, or high-heeled, we certainly recommend trying a diversity of styles, as ankle pants tend to work well with a number of shoe styles.
Nuria (above) styles her ankle pants to perfection with a pair of classic pumps.
Steal her look with these similar pants, pumps, top, cardigan, handbag, belt and necklace.
Wit & Wisdom plaid ankle trousers – Sam Edelman ‘Laurna’ mule – Ted Baker London ‘Mhalil’ slingback pump – Rollie derby lace-up flat shoe – JSlides ‘Hippie’ laser platform sneaker
Bootcut pants
Bootcut pants are one of the most versatile styles of pants. They look best when they almost touch the floor, yet do not completely cover the entire shoe.
Depending on whether or not you’re going for a dressed up or casual vibe, you have a diversity of options with bootcut pants.
Pointy-toed pumps tend to look very chic when paired with bootcut pants, as do mid-heel height boots and loafer style flats.
Petra (above) opts for pointed animal print shoes with her bootcut jeans.
Check out this similar pair of jeans, leopard printed pumps, belted coat and handbag.
Joe’s high waist bootcut jeans – Naturalizer ‘Vera’ ankle strap sandal – Steve Madden ‘Gemmy’ loafer flat – Naturalizer ‘Everly’ pump – Sole Society ‘Candrah’ bootie
Boyfriend style pants
The epitome of chic comfort, boyfriend style pants look best with a cuff that hits at mid-calf.
Though the pants can be loose and relaxed, you can create a well-tailored look by selecting a more structured flat or heeled shoe. Jennifer Aniston, for example, often wears her boyfriend jeans with high heels.
Oxfords create an on-trend menswear inspired look and dress up the look. We also recommend pointed toe flats and low key sneakers.
You can wear your boyfriend jeans with heeled sandals and a blazer to elevate a casual look.
Check out this similar pair of boyfriend jeans, sandals, shirt and blazer.
AG boyfriend slim jeans – Naturalizer ‘Vera’ ankle strap sandal – Naturalizer ‘Everly’ pump – Rollie derby lace-up flat shoe – JSlides ‘Hippie’ laser platform sneaker
Cropped flared pants
The right fitting cropped flared pants should hit anywhere from mid-calf to right above your ankle bone.
When selecting shoes to wear with these pants, we recommend ensuring that you go with a lengthening look (best done with a monochromatic tone) and/or select a shoe that minimizes the flare to create a leaner bottom.
Our top shoe selections are block heels, mules, ankle boots (make sure your pants hit right at or below the top of the boots) and pointed toe heels.
If you go with boots for this look, a matching boot (black-on-black, nude-on-nude, etc.) is the best option to create a streamlined look.

DL1961 high waist crop flare jeans – Steve Madden ‘Gemmy’ loafer flat – Fly London ‘Yala’ perforated sandal – Ted Baker London ‘Mhalil’ slingback pump – Clarks ‘Un Capri’ step platform wedge sandal
Cropped wide leg pants
Cropped wide leg pants (like cropped flared pants) are quite on trend this season.
Though they can be a challenge to style, the payoff for getting it right is great. The goal is to avoid adding more volume to your bottom.
It’s usually best not to wear ankle straps with this pant style, as it may shorten the leg further. But, if you want to draw attention downwards or you have beautifully slim ankles, this could work, particularly if you choose shoes in the same color as your pants or your want to go for a more edgy look.
Select more dainty looks, such as structured pointy toe pumps, a loafer, and minimal mules.
Monika (above) styles her wide crop pants with heeled pumps.
Recreate her outfit with this similar pair of pants, pumps, blouse and clutch.
Halogen wide leg crop pants – Fly London ‘Yala’ perforated sandal – Naturalizer ‘Vera’ ankle strap sandal – Clarks ‘Un Capri’ step platform wedge sandal – JSlides ‘Hippie’ laser platform sneaker
Shoes for skinny jeans and skinny leg pants
The key to selecting the right pair of skinny leg pants is to remember that the less they bunch around the ankle, the easier it is to create a well-tailored look.
Go for a pair that hits right around or slightly above the ankle bone. Once you have the perfect pair selected, you also have the option of pairing skinny leg pants with a countless number of shoe styles.
Some of our favorite options are strappy sandal heels, pointed toe heels, flats, shorter ankle boots (make sure they fit a bit snugly around the ankle, and you could also opt for knee-high boots).
Sallyanne (above) shows how skinny jeans can be worn with knee-high boots.
Steal her look with this similar pair of skinny jeans, boots, blouse and sunglasses.
rag & bone high waist skinny jeans – Sam Edelman ‘Felicia’ flat – Sam Edelman ‘Laurna’ mule – Sole Society ‘Candrah’ bootie – Sam Edelman ‘Kerby’ knee high boot
Straight leg pants
Most shoes will flatter the straight leg, so the choice ultimately falls on the tone of the look you’re going for and the type of top you are wearing.
They are fuller than bootcut style pants, and some styles can cover the shoe more so than bootcut style pants.
Our favorite looks are strappy sandals, pointed toe pumps, boots (keep the shaft a bit taller to avoid a bunching look), and low key sneakers.
Psyche (above) opts for multi-colored strappy sandals with her straight navy pants.
Check out this simila pair of trousers, top, sandals, belt and earrings.
BOSS straight leg wool pants – Steve Madden ‘Gemmy’ loafer flat – Ted Baker London ‘Mhalil’ slingback pump – Marc Fisher LTD ‘Yulunda’ pump – Naturalizer ‘Everly’ pump – JSlides ‘Hippie’ laser platform sneaker
Wide leg pants
Wide leg pants will always look best below the ankle bone and/or skimming the floor. Completely flat shoes can be paired with this pant style, but we definitely recommend ensuring that if you go that route you keep it well tailored.
A very slouchy look is not flattering on all body types, and the casual chic vibe can quickly turn into a sloppy and unflattering look.
Whether you select a very minimal 1-inch heel or 3-inch heels, a bit of height will help create a longer silhouette.
For this look, we recommend block style heels, chunky heels, wedges, and strappy sandals. Pointed toe pumps can work great, as well, just make sure the pants are not so long that the toe of your pump continuously gets caught on the material.
Ashley (above) opts for a stylish pair of slightly-rounded toe silver loafers with her wide-legged pants.

Faherty paperbag wasit linen chambray pants – Fly London ‘Yala’ perforated sandal – Naturalizer ‘Vera’ ankle strap sandal – Rollie derby lace-up flat shoe – JSlides ‘Hippie’ laser platform sneaker
Utility pants
If you prefer a more casual look, you don’t have to opt for jeans. A pair of utility pants could also give you the look you want.
You have lots of shoe choices which will go with utility pants. You can choose a casual shoe such as a sneaker or chunky boot. Or you could opt for a dressier shoe to contrast with your pant style.
Abi (above) styles her utility pants with sneakers and mixes formal and casual with a Chanel-style bouclé jacket.

Wit & Wisdom utility pants – Marc Fisher LTD ‘Yulunda’ pump – Naturalizer ‘Everly’ pump – Naturalizer ‘Vera’ ankle strap sandal – Rollie derby lace-up flat shoe – JSlides ‘Hippie’ laser platform sneaker
Leggings
It’s hard to find a more comfortable pant style than a pair of leggings.
There are plenty of ideas here on how to wear your leggings.
But what shoe style should you opt for?
Statying within a sporty style with sneakers and brogues often works well.
Booties are also a great option with leggings as are ballerinas.
Nic (above) opts for a classic casual look styled with white sneakers.
Steal her look with this similar pair of leggings, sneakers, shirt, jacket, crossbody bag, hat and sunglasses.

Best shoes to wear with jeans
How about the types of shoes you should wear with jeans? Do you need to think about this any differently to wearing shoes with pants?
The short answer is ‘no’. You’ll see above that I’ve featured both jeans and pants. The key is to consider the shape of your jeans in the same way as any other pair of pants. So, think about whether they are skinny, straight, bootcut, boyfriend, wide or cropped and then apply the shoe guidelines to the shape.
You can wear anything from formal shoes with jeans to more casual shoes for women with jeans. The looks you can create are endless.
You’ll find more jeans inspiration in this article on the most flattering jeans for women over 40.

What to Wear as Mother of the Bride (or Groom): Pants
Can the mother of the bride (or groom) wear pants to their child’s wedding?
While tradition suggests wearing a dress, the most important piece of advice I can offer is to wear what makes YOU feel most comfortable and beautiful.
For more of our tips see our article on how to dress as at the mother of the bride (or groom)
The key is to make sure the look best fits the formality of the occasion. From flowy pants sets to draped luxe jumpsuits, in today’s article I show you how to best wear pants as mother of the bride or groom.
It is important to remember that the same rules when choosing the perfect dress still apply:
Take your style cues from the bride’s dress and the style of the wedding party in general, e.g., lace as a running motif, or a 40’s theme.
Match the outfit appropriately to the venue, i.e., covered arms for a church wedding, but more flesh-baring outfits for a beach wedding.
Wait until the bride has chosen her dress before you start shopping so that you can plan for any last minute changes to the overall look of the wedding party
Preston and York silver jacket – Preston and York v-neck blouse – Nina Parcy silver clutch – Sandro blue trousers – Badgley Mischka heels
Look 2: Emporio Armani Crinkle silk pants –
Awake sheer draped top – Tory Burch silver sandals – Diane von Furstenberg leather clutch – Canvass knot earrings
Look 3: Armani wide leg pants – St. John crinkle shirt – Karl Lagerfeld jacket – Karl Lagerfeld box clutch – Linea pump
Jumpsuits
A number of jumpsuit options are available that provide a dressy look, while still maintaining the cut and styling pants. Consider wearing a sleeveless pair with a cropped jacket (as shown above) or with a blazer to both (a) keep you warm if you happen to be indoors in a cold space and (b) add another chic dimension to your look.
Ted Baker London off shoulder jumpsuit – Tahari metallic faux wrap jumpsuit – Chelsea28 bow shoulder jumpsuit – Eliza J sleeve jumpsuit
Pant sets
Pant sets are another fashionable approach to take when deciding how to wear pants for your mother of the bride/groom look. They come as a set and are often made of chiffon and silk material. The pants are generally flowy, which creates a more dressed up look. Certain pant sets are also quite formal (a number of less formal options are also available). Make sure you get this properly tailored, as fit is absolutely essential to making sure you look your best in these sets.

Separates
For less formal weddings, putting together a jacket and trouser combination is a great option. The key here is to opt for tailored pieces with some contrasts in color to make it look less like office attire and more appropriate for a social occasion. Consider wide leg trousers, as well, as these can create bit more of a dramatic look that pairs well with the event.
Look 1:
Max Mara chiffon jumpsuit – Nine West black pumps – Badgley Mischka black clutch – Simone Rocha pearl drop earrings – Alex Evenings lace jacket –
Look 2: Ted Baker London tweed jacket – Majestic Filatures silk tank – Milly Hayden wide legged trousers – Klub Nico black sandal – Eric Javits clutch bag
Look 3: Dilliards white jacket – St. John ankle pants – Badgley Mischka clutch – St. John lace tank – Bella Belle gold sandals

Work clothes for women to keep cool and look professional all summer
1. Choose a lightweight and light color suit
2. Wear a dress in a suiting fabric to add polish
3. Choose looser, relaxed fit work clothes for women
4. Skip the jacket
How do you look and stay cool at work for summer?
| Work clothes for women to keep cool and look professional all summer
Work clothes for women to keep cool and look professional all summer
Wearing shorts and flip flops when it’s hot is a great way to keep cool. But this is usually not acceptable when you work in an office or professional environment, even on Casual Fridays.
How can you adjust your work outfits to be lighter, cooler and more comfortable even if it’s 90 degrees outside? Here are 4 ideas on work clothes for women to survive the summer.
1. Choose a lightweight and light color suit
There are times when a suit is unavoidable; even if it’s really hot out. The right choice of fabric and color can make a world of difference!
Look for suits with minimal lining to them. Choose suiting in lighter fabrics like cotton, rayon or a blend of both cotton and synthetic. Linen is wonderful, but choose a linen blend that minimizes wrinkling.
Lighter colors tend to feel cooler, especially when outside and in the sun, so consider wearing more whites, pastels and beiges.
Suit in image above is from the Ann Taylor summer suiting collection.
2. Wear a dress in a suiting fabric to add polish
A shirt dress or wrap dress is a perfect office look for career women in summer. The easy silhouette is flattering because it’s fitted in the right places (like waist and shoulders) and loose and flowy everywhere else, for good air circulation.
To keep the look professional, choose a dress in a traditionally masculine suiting fabric like a pinstripe, herringbone pattern or other type of suiting material.
The featured fit and flare shirt dress above is by Michael Kors and can be found here.
3. Choose looser, relaxed fit work clothes for women
The key to staying cool for summer is to allow for maximum airflow so that your body keeps cool. A looser, relaxed fit will be more comfortable in the summer. Some great ideas for work clothes that are summer friendly include:
Cropped, wide-leg pants
Larger-cut blouses
A boxy, boyfriend-style jacket or cardigan
An unstructured dress with some interest to it, like lace detailing or an interesting pattern
Replacing a suit jacket with a loose cardigan, oversized vest or a wrap
The work outfit on the left is from Eileen Fisher.
The middle work outfit is by Jones NY.
The look on the right is by Club Monaco.
4. Skip the jacket
Although a jacket often completes a professional office look, you don’t always need one. Choose to pair a nicely tailored pair of pants or a slim pencil skirt with a lightweight summer sweater or well-tailored blouse instead. This simple look is just as professional, especially when you add some accessories like a statement necklace, fashionable shoes and a structured handbag.
Both work outfits: JCrew.
Here are more summer-ready work clothes for women, in stores now.

The Bickersons
This was a thirty-minute comedy series featuring the quarrelsome husband and wife, John and Blanche Bickerson, played by Don Ameche and Frances Langford. The bickering usually began when Blanche could not sleep because of her husband’s incessant snoring. She woke him constantly to tell him off, turning domestic bliss into all-out warfare! There were actually only around 18 episodes broadcast named the Bickersons although that is the name by which most people remember all three shows, previously called Drene Time and The Old Gold Show

Researchers consistently find that virtual worlds provide positive outcomes that equal or exceed face-to-face activities. Virtual worlds offer an excellent way for students to learn about the phenomena that form the basis of science and engineering. Join us for an exploration of how virtual reality and virtual worlds can improve STEM learning and teaching.
The 2017 Virtual Worlds Education Conference organizers invite attendees to present outcomes of their implementation of virtual worlds in STEM courses, research concerning teaching and learning in virtual worlds, and best practices for designing these virtual worlds. The conference agenda provides for in-depth research presentations, hands-on technology demonstrations, engaging panel discussions, and activities that enable attendees to explore and develop new ideas about virtual worlds in STEM education. The 2017 VWE Conference is hosted by Florida Institute of Technology (Florida Tech) in beautiful Melbourne, Florida.
We plan for in-depth presentations by about 25 practitioners, education researchers, and industry representatives. Experts in curriculum design and assessment will help STEM educators understand how to develop research programs and projects with achievable, measurable learning objectives. Industry experts, such as programmers and representatives from companies developing virtual reality hardware and software, will share their technical knowledge and learn about the needs of educators who use their services and products. Attendees can demonstrate their virtual worlds used for education and view those of others in a technology showcase. Panel discussions will explore the potential future directions of virtual world technology and ways that we can overcome the challenges of teaching in this environment. Speakers will join teams to develop a mock project proposal based on ideas developed during the conference. See the Speakers page for more information about this innovative activity.
Who Should Attend
• STEM educators using virtual worlds (including virtual and augmented reality and virtual learning environments),
• Researchers and vendors developing education-related tools and products for virtual worlds, and

Wade in the Water
Fig.8. Harriet Tubman, a well
known escaped slave, resting her
arm on a chair (Lindsley)
"Wade in the Water" was published in 1901 by Fisk Jubilee Singers (“Wade in the Water”).
Throughout the years, many variations of the song have existed and therefore have been interpreted in more ways than one. The most common message is clear and remains in many variations of this famous slave song. Harriet Tubman was known to sing this song to fellow slaves.
"Wade in the Water" was used as a freedom song as the lyrics gave geographical hints for a safer travel. “To escaping slaves, the song told them to abandon the path and move into the water. By traveling along the water’s edge or across a body of water, the slaves would throw chasing dogs and their keepers off the scent” (Wade in the Water).
The lyrics also show a spiritual connection as terms like "God", "Moses", and "Jordan's Stream" were lyrics in most of the renditions of the song.
“What are those children all dressed in White? God’s gonna trouble the water. Must be the ones of the Israelites. God’s gonna trouble the water” (“Wade in the Water”) was a religious verse in the song. “Wade in the Water” also remains a contemporary gospel song.
"Harriet often sang spirituals-religious folk songs-so nobody thought much about this one until the next day, when she was missing. Then everyone who had heard her realized that her song had a double meaning. The Promise Land was the biblical land of Israel, to which Moses led the Jewish people, but Harriet also intended it to mean the northern United States, where she hoped to be free" (Fradin 186).
Without this song many slaves would have been caught on their way to reaching a safer place or to their destination of freedom. This song remains one of the most significant encoded slave songs in history. "Wade in the Water" was one of the many songs that held messages to fellow slaves to find a path to freedom. (“Wade in the Water”).

Pericarditis Symptoms
June 5, 2017 wolfericj
It is also common for a person to experience chest pain as one of their pericarditis symptoms. The inflammation puts pressure on the heart, which makes it uncomfortable and sore. One might feel pain in the region of the heart if they press on their chest there. The constant soreness can be scary because someone might think that they are having a heart attack.
This is usually how pericarditis is diagnosed. The chest pains become severe enough that they warrant a trip to the emergency room. And when the emergency room doctor does an x-ray to check the heart, they can see the inflammation and infection that is present. Blood tests will confirm the diagnosis since there will be a considerable increase in the amount of white blood cells present as the body attempts to fight off the infection. It is also common for someone to have a low grade fever and low blood pressure readings.

Treating pericarditis is not easy because the body is already in such a weakened state from fighting the infection for so long. A round of the strongest antibiotics available are given for about three weeks. Usually, antibiotics are only given to someone for only about ten days because their body will be left in a weakened state from them if they are taken any longer than that, and this means that they are more susceptible to other infections or illnesses during this time.
However, the infection in the lining of the heart does not go away easily. Even after taking the antibiotics for such a long period of time, a person still might not be free from the infection. It can take several months for someone to get better. Sometimes, a person must be admitted to the hospital, so they can receive further treatment to ensure their survival.

Symptoms Of A Bulging Disc
June 8, 2017 wolfericj
The structure of the spine is made up primarily of bones called vertebrae and soft discs made of cartilage between each vertebra. In a healthy spine, the discs act as soft cushions to protect the bones from damage and keep pressure off nerves. Discs are susceptible to deterioration over time, as well as damage from high-impact sports and accidents. When the disc is compromised, the softer cartilage contained inside the disc’s harder outer shell can push out through a weakened wall causing a bulge, and can also herniate or rupture, causing the softer material to leak out.
Some bulging discs can cause no symptoms at all, but for many people they can be very debilitating. Bulging disc symptoms include:
Localized constant dull pain in the area of the bulge. In many patients, this pain is present at all times, but may get slightly better or worse throughout the day.
Sharp pain brought on by sudden movements, or by prolonged sitting or standing.
Numbness or tingling radiating down a leg or arm, caused by a pinched nerve root in the spine in the area of the bulge.
Radiculopathy, where the nerve root has been pinched in a way that has permanently damaged it, causing weakness in hands and feet where the nerve terminates.
Bulging discs are most often treated with physical therapy and chiropractic care. If these options don’t improve bulging disc symptoms, surgery is an option. Unfortunately, the only surgery for a bulging disc is replacing the disc with a prosthetic disc. At this point, if there are no symptoms other than pain, a doctor may recommend pain management through non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, narcotics and corticosteroid injections.

Symptoms Of H Pylori
June 8, 2017 wolfericj
Chronic gastric problems plague millions of people, but they can be very difficult to pin down. Food allergies often manifest as gastric upset, as can a simple intolerance. Unfortunately, many people may actually be suffering from helicobacter pylori– the bacteria partially responsible for stomach ulcers.
H pylori is a bacteria that can live in the digestive tract. It’s extremely common, and about two thirds of the world’s population is or has been infected by it through food, water, or dirty utensils. It’s also possible to be infected for years before developing any h pylori symptoms. When symptoms develop, they are usually directly related to the sores that this bacteria causes in the lining of the stomach.
H pylori symptoms generally consist of:
Gastric pain.
Gas.
Bloating.
Loss of appetite.
Nausea.
Unintentional weight loss.
If the infection advances to the point of eroding sores in the stomach, symptoms may include:
Pale skin.
Vomit that looks like fresh blood or coffee grounds.
Black, tarry stools.
Fatigue.

Andre the Giant’s Daughter Says Her Dad Wouldn’t Have Made it in WWE Today
October 9, 2015 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas
– Robin Christensen Roussimoff, the daughter of the late Andre the Giant, spoke at New York City Comic-Con promoting the new graphic novel based on the WWE Hall of Famer’s life. Here are some highlights ( via Reddit ):
* Roussimoff sayd her relationship with WWE today is purely professional and they simply pay her royalties without making any other sort of contact. She said, “They don’t really like me. I don’t know why” and said that Vince McMahon Sr. “was a better guy than his son is”
* She added that Andre would have had problems making it in WWE today because of the amount of focus on promos. She said that she thinks the company is becoming too soap opera-esque and that today’s wrestlers aren’t that good outside of high-flyers. She added that she would like to see the spirit of the Attitude Era return, particularly TLC matches.
* She said that her first memory of Andre was seeing him come to the doctor’s office for a blood test to confirm that he was her father. The last time that she saw him was at a court hearing over child support payments.
* She talked about Andre’s filming The Princess Bride, saying that he loved it and that “It was probably the calmest point of his life.” She said the cast treated him like a normal guy and that he memorized a taped recording of his lines for the film. She didn’t know Andre was in the movie when her mother took her to see it for the first time.
* According to her, Andre had a bad side if he didn’t like you, and wrestlers feared it. Randy Savage got on Andre’s bad side when he was caught with steroids, and never got off of it.
* Andre had “no tolerance” for steroids and talked about his drinking. She confirmed the legend that he drank close to 150 beers, saying he would stack cans atop each other when he drank. Drinking became his self-medication; “He learned how to function without being in a wheel chair.” She added that he took a horse tranquilizer before a surgery.
* She said that her mother allowed no wrestling in the house and wanted her to form her own opinion about Andre. She said her favorite wrestler was The Ultimate Warrior but doesn’t know how Andre viewed him, as he never talked about wrestling. However, she says that he loved Hulk Hogan and were legitimately friends.
* Roussimoff also talked about the previously-published graphic novel, which is unauthorized and which she is unhappy about. She’s also extremely unhappy about Shepard Fairey, who uses Andre’s image in his “OBEY” and “Andre the Giant has a posse” works. She is open to anyone that wants to use Andre’s image as long as they approach her about it.
* She noted that people find out she’s Andre’s daughter, people either back away or try to use her. She doesn’t date because of her dad’s lasting fame.

I have to strongly disagree. I mean, they put the world title on the Great Khali and he couldn't talk or wrestle for crying out loud...

Jeremy Thomas Mod Ryan • 6 years ago
Yeah, but Khali brought in the huge India market, which matters for a lot. And even then, putting the World Title on him was a desperation move after they had to take it from Edge due to injury.

You're right. But I think it would be obvious too that Andre would have brought in the France and French Canadian markets.

Jeremy Thomas Mod Ryan • 6 years ago
No doubt and that's not an insignificant number, but we're still talking a matter of 70 million (67 million in France, 7 million French-Canadian) vs. 1.3 billion people in India.
I'm not saying that those markets are exactly equivalent because I don't know how much each contributes to WWE revenue, but based on sheer potential audience Khali would represent more "market value" in that respect.

Ryan Jeremy Thomas • 6 years ago • edited
Yeah you bring good points, hence the reason you are a MOD I'm sure lol. Perhaps it's not the same as it once was, but I do think one of the reasons Khali got more over was exposure too. I mean, back in the territory days it didn't always make TV. When Khali came in you had Raw, Smackdown, WWECW, and I'm pretty sure Heat was still a thing too. Or maybe Velocity. At any rate, not only did it help Khali's exposure to be seen on TV in his own country, but that's a prop Andre never had.
I guess my point is, we won't ever know if Andre would have brought in such a market now. But I don't think his daughter was right in the assertion he wouldn't work in today's WWE.

I think that this is "potential" market value. This is a number you quote to potential and current investors to increase your angel/venture capital investment. Professional "wrestling" has a different meaning for pan-Gallic as opposed to pan-Indian markets.

Khali had more unique look and brought a different market. Big Show is about 100 times the talker Andre is, at his peak was more athletic, and still never was anywhere near what Andre was in his heyday.
Andre was a guy you heard about or saw on tv and the mystique of their never being anything like him is what got him over, then protective booking extended his career and viability.
Since 1985 Andre's career would have been like this if he debuted at that time. Comes in. Kills a bunch of midcarders, gets in the main event scene, Hogan/Undertaker/Bret/Shawn/Austin/Cena beat him. He loses a three month fued with them, goes down and kills midcarders again but nobody cares anymore, they eventually use him to build a midcard babyface, he eventually becomes a comedy act.

Ryan Joe • 6 years ago
The progression and chain of events kind of mirror that of the Great Khali no? I mean, Khali debuted in the WWECW and killed mid card jobbers like Shannon Moore and then was elevated to Smackdown where he won the world title in that battle royal. Then he stays atop the card until he's turned into a good guy. Surely then he got little to no traction, but he put people over and, like Andre, became a comedy act. Only he danced. Andre was just generally goofy.

unami218 🥴 Jeremy Thomas • 6 years ago
Nope, not buying it - based on everything she said above, I'm more inclined to believe she tells people she's Andre's daughter too early, possibly to get their interest, and then things go badly. If she doesn't want people to know who her dad is, she doesn't have to tell them until the time is right.
She said her mother allowed no wrestling in the house, yet her favorite wrestler was Warrior.
She said Andre never talked about wrestling, so she doesn't know how he felt about warrior, yet she knows Savage got on his bad side because of roids and never got off it, and that andre and hogan were legit friends.
This sounds like her trying to make the most of her 15 minutes.
Not saying it's out of the realm of possibility that she's had bad experiences after telling people her dad was Andre, I just don't think she's portraying it 100% truthfully.

Do you know her?
No I don't believe you do, so you would have no idea about her life.
Also if you Google "Andre the giants daughter" it shows her real name so saying that she must introduce herself that way is stupid.
If she wanted 15 minutes of fame why would she have refused for so long to make appearances? Only finally backing a project that did the research that needed to be done. That was actually approved by his estate?
As for watching wrestling, maybe she watched it at friend houses. Also if you did any research you would know that her mother was a wrestler too, maybe that's how she knew all about his relationships with other wrestlers. They were together for seven years, pretty sure her mom knew him well enough to tell her some good stories.
You shouldn't talk down about someone you know nothing about to get internet attention, it's sad

Taylor unami218 🥴 • 6 years ago • edited
Yes in fact I do know her personally. I could answer every question about her and be correct without a doubt.
I've been her best friend for 23 years this year and can tell you that the only way I found out about this thread was because she read it and told me...
So I don't need to know you to know you're wrong.
Your opinion was on her character as a person, which you know nothing about. You take people with their "15 minutes of fame" and feel that that gives you an intimate look into who they are, that you have earned the right to judge them. Well you haven't, you want to state facts you go for it, you want to state opinions and tell me not to discount them then take your time to think before you type.
I've read your comments on other peoples posts and you admit that you run your mouth, you are antagonistic and a bully. Positivity is not your strong suit, and though most "celebrities" won't defend themselves I will. I will defend Robin until my last breath.
People like me don't make the comment section horrible, people with your ignorant opinions do.

Jeremy Thomas Mod jball999 • 6 years ago
Look at Frances Bean Cobain. She is pretty much never acknowledged as being anything other than Kurt Cobain's daughter. And while (considering her parentage) she has somehow managed to become an incredibly well-adjusted young woman with a good perspective on life, she acknowledges that she has a difficult time with most people because they don't see her as her own person.
When you're the child of a famous parent, especially someone iconic who has passed like Andre or Kurt, to a lot of people you cease becoming your own individual, even if they don't intend to do that to you. There's a whole psychology around being the child of a celebrity and the struggles of living in that shadow, and in the case of someone who is known around the world and is dead, that situation is severely exacerbated.

You know why Andre wouldn't make it in WWE today? The fans. Same reason warrior, hogan, and every other major wwe talent that people idolize and worship wouldn't make it. If they can't accept reigns, how could you accept ultimate warrior? If they can't accept big show, how can they accept andre? If they can't accept Cena how can they accept Hogan in today's wwe? It'd be the same complaints bitching a whining if those guys existed in todays wwe instead. The only difference, and why these guys warrant the respect they have is b/c they established themselves during a time where kayfabe wasn't killed by social media, dirtsheets and armchair critics. You can't disregard these people b/c their legacies were etched in stone before these people could taint the business with ridiculous internet self interest.

In 98-99 he was cutting group promos with DX where he would get the mic for a few minutes and say something funny. In 2000 is when he started getting more mic time but a badass character like Rock, Undertaker, Foley, Jericho, or Austin would pop up and rip him to shreds which would be entertaining. Unlike now where he talks about how smart and great he is and along with his wife, they neuter every man that steps in the ring with them.

Michael L Mark • 6 years ago
It depends on what aspect of the Attitude era you're talking about. For most of 97-99, the wrestling was pretty mediocre outside of the main event scene. It wasn't until the WWF got Jericho, the Dudleys, and the Radicalz that the midcard was bulked up to match (and in some cases exceed) the main events.
However, what was good about the attitude era was that the WWF actually gave a damn about the midcarders, allowing them to cut promos and to get the audience behind them. Just about every wrestler had something interesting to do--even if it was garbage at times (Just about anything Bossman did in 1999).
These days, unless you're in the main event or on NXT, the angles and the rivalries are thrown together, with minimal thought. The overall wrestling is better when it's allowed to flourish, but fans just don't care since they don't bother to build up a decent reason for them to.

I disagree about the 97 - 99 period being horrible wrestling wise but everything else is spot on. 97 had two 5 star matches (Bret vs Auatin & HBK vs Undertaker) the first time that's happened on American soil. 98 had the most famous match of the modern era (Undertaker vs Mankind). 99 had some of the most revolutionary matches ever (I quit match Rock vs Mankind, Hardys vs E & C ladder match at No Mercy). Your mid card consisted of Ken Shamrock, Val Venus, D'lo Btown, Jeff Jarrett, X pac, Taka, and Owen Hart.

Michael L Harveyd • 6 years ago
Did you even read the entire post? I said outside of the main event scene. WIth the exception of the last sentence and the hardys/edge & Christian, all of the matches you mentioned includd main event wrestlers.
There was some passable midcard stuff here and there, but for the most part, it was mediocre in terms of in-ring work, made tolerably by decent booking that made the fans care more than they might today under similar circumstances.

Harveyd Michael L • 6 years ago
I read the post and disagreed. 97-99 had very entertaining Hardcore matches in the division. The European title scene featured excellent matches with the series between D'Lo and X Pac, X Pac and Jarret, etc. Taka Minchinoku had great matches with everyone including Christian and Essay Rios. Vader had prerty good matches woth everyone from Bret Hart to Kane. Ken Shamrock was a stud in the IC division having great matches with The Rock, Owen Hart, and Val Venus. The matches were all realistic and high impact. You didn't just have a bunch if giusto doing the same moves, it was all different styles.

Booker T Says James Ellsworth is Getting Old
November 9, 2016 | Posted by Larry Csonka
– On the latest edition of his podcast (transcript via wrestlezone.com ), Booker T spoke about his run as WCW TV Champion, his thoughts on James Ellsworth, and more…
On Raw Talk: I think that is what is really cool, to get the real side of what these people are going through. It’s easy to talk about nothing, it’s easy to make up something to talk about, but when it’s something that already there, it’s nice to be real. When I asked Charlotte on the show last week, and talked about Reid, it’s real talk, it’s stuff people out there really want to know about, and want to know how they deal with it and how they cope with it. Me, myself, personally I’ve gone through a whole lot, people can talk to me about anything, and I believe I can relate with them in some form of fashion.
On His Run as WCW TV Champion: I had a chance to wrestle all the Cruiserweights. Ultimo Dragon challenged me for the TV Championship. It was good, going against Finlay, guys like Disco Inferno, Rick Martel, Chris Benoit in the Best of Seven series for a shot at Finlay for the TV Championship. I mentioned Disco Inferno in my Hall of Fame speech because he’s not only a good wrestler, but a good friend. That time in my life, and I encourage young people, if you don’t think you can do it, still go out there and try. You don’t know how well you’ll do unless you put yourself in that situation. You have to sink or swim. I put myself in a situation where my brother got hurt and I stepped up, and had a couple of singles matches. I didn’t only want to be in singles matches, I wanted to be the best. A springboard to take my career off was going through the TV Title run. I challenge guys to be that way; be a leader and not a follower, raise your hand to step up, and I believe that the TV Title run was the launching pad to my Hall of Fame career
On One More Harlem Heat Match: Man, I’m going to tell you. I think you can see it now on 2K17. I’ll tell you, to actually put the boots on one more time to go inside a WWE ring, the only thing it can happen would have to be with my brother. It would be awesome, they’d have to give me a six month advance because I have to get in shape for something like that. My thing is I’m a flavorful individual, I like to wear new stuff, so definitely I wouldn’t mind going back in there for one last match with my brother Stevie Ray, but it’d have to be at Wrestlemania. Put us up against the Headbangers or something like that, or the Spirit Squad, or James Ellsworth and anybody else.
His Thoughts on James Ellsworth: It is old. I’m tired of seeing James Ellsworth. This kid had one hell of a run, but send him back to the independents. I’ve seen this guy at a convention, I was appalled, but this guy is going to live this run for quite some time. He’s probably getting a good price out there on the Indy show. They’re probably bringing him in as an attraction, but the thing of it is, me personally I’m not a hater, but you must ride it for as long as you can. Look at Hornswoggle, he worked with WWE for 6-7 years, you can’t hate people like that, but you wonder how James Ellsworth fit into the WWE mold? It just makes you wonder. There are people in my Reality of Wrestling just scratching at the door, so when I see Ellsworth, there’s just gotta be a way, but you have to wait your turn, but it’s definitely getting a little old.

He is right though. Just like Hornswoggle and Santino, Ellsworth will become boring very fast.

Ellsworth is still the lovable loser who sells like a champ. Give him a Tomoaki Honma run and he'll get over in spite of losing all the time
Dr Wiki • 4 years ago
Meh depends on how featured he is. Having him be a weekly fixture kinda kills his appeal in a lot of ways. Some weeks off or only showing up in one backstage segment would help keep him fresh.
Rasslin Fan • 4 years ago
I think there's certainly more Honma fans than Ellsworth fans. Honma also has good size and great charisma. Ellsworth has neither.

AG Awesome • 4 years ago
I think until the angle is done he can stick around. Then have either AJ or Ambrose destroy him and send him packing. He can pop in here and there for the occasional laugh match/spot basically for the next ten years. But no more angles/programs after this thing is done.

Booker's gripe sounds like he is angry his students aren't in WWE. Listen, the gimmick Ellsworth has a shelf life. But the guy got super over on his own. He went from a jobber vs Braun to more over than the dude he was putting over. Either he has skill or dumb luck. He has something thats for sure.
Hellboy • 4 years ago
It's a combination of having a unique look as well as selling himself. Because he believes he has a fight chance, the crowd believes in him.
JC • 4 years ago
The dude has a definite shelf life, but ultimately Ellsworth delivers his lines better than most of the roster, has supported the Styles/Ambrose main-event programme better than many of the roster who were given similar shots, and seems to handle his business backstage better than many on the roster. So as much as it confuses me to say it, there's something there to work with, whether that's due to good luck, good planning or raw talent.
Jack Squat • 4 years ago
They could let Elly have his momentary spot and let that run its course... and then let him settle into a different role that isn't over done... I think that will be okay. But as long as he's popular, why not?
Booker T is somebody that if wrestling was huge again, somebody would sign him and he would be a big deal right now. He would be like the Curt Hennig of the nitro era.
He still has alot to give, and personally, I wouldn't mind him along with a few others to be main stars right now. WWE is letting alot of sure bets just ride off into the sunset, when they would be utilized if there was a ratings war... Personally, I want me some Booker T.

They also brought out Daniel Bryan to give him even more of a rub so I'm guessing they're not done with him yet.

Its not old when he's your most over guy on both rosters. If its "old" then that doesn't say much than every guy he's morel over than. Which is like everyone. And the important part is the crowd doesnt think its old He's getting Daniel Bryan like pops. Something Booker never did. Ride that Ellsworth train until it fizzles or keep bringimg him back sporadically. But everyone is convinced the crowd will give up on him soon and that he has a shelf life. I'm not too convinced on that. The pops he is getting is unreal.

I love King Booker, but this old cat with the podcast is a bit hypocritical. He says he's not a hater, but he proceeds to throw major shade on Ellsworth. Comparing Ells to anyone else is not fair nor is it relevant.
Hornswoggle had his run and fans were split down the middle regarding his final run with the WWE. And Booker's ROW guys will have their opportunity to get to the WWE if/when they are meant to.
I hope this is actually some type of angle that will play out during the Survivor Series. | msmarco_doc_00_25373894 |

Electric Water Heater Red Reset Button Tripping Troubleshooting Guide
Many people even plumbing and electrical professionals have trouble figuring why the red reset button on the upper thermostat of an electric water heater trips. The red reset button or, high limit known as the Energy Cut Off or, ECO is designed to trip when the water in the tank becomes too hot cutting off power to the elements. The ECO is only a manually reset thermostatic switch that shuts off the power to the water heater when the water in the heater reaches 180 Degrees F. The ECO has no other function.
There are a few different things that can cause the ECO to trip all of which involve the ECO getting too hot.
A bad thermostat that does not shut off allowing continuous heating of the water even after the set temperature has been reached is a possible cause of ECO tripping. Your water heater has 2 thermostats, an upper and lower under the two access panels, as well as two elements. Either thermostat sticking in the on position could cause the element it serves to continue heating the water until the water in the tank is heated to 180 Degrees F when the ECO opens cutting power to the water heater.
A loose electrical connection either where the wires connect to the upper thermostat or an internal loose connection can generate heat caused by high resistance inside the thermostat causing the ECO to sense the heat of the bad connection rather than the temperature of the water in the tank causing the ECO to trip.
A bad element that is shorted to ground near the center of the element may also cause the water in the tank causing the ECO to trip. Because the element is shorted to ground near the center of the element the short does not have a high enough current draw to trip the circuit breaker and it continues to heat. However, the way the water heater electrical power is switched the power still is applied to the element even when the thermostat shuts off. The water heater is supplied with 240-volts which means both of the power leads are hot leads. Only 1 side is switched and in normal operation that is fine. But, when the element is shorted to ground there is still the power on the unswitched side available, which will flow through half of the element to ground as 120-volts continuing to heat the water until the ECO trips.
Wiring diagram typical to residential 240-volt non-simultaneous operation water heaters.
Your residential electric water heater is wired for 240-volt non-simultaneous operation where the power is initially applied to the upper element, then when the upper thermostat is satisfied it switches power to the lower thermostat for heating the lower section. Once the lower thermostat is satisfied the power to the element is shut off until either thermostat calls for heating again.
Troubleshooting is relatively easy with basic electrical knowledge and skills with a screwdriver and a basic multimeter. Caution is needed as the electrical voltage is 240-volts AC and severe injury or even death can result from electrical shock. The ECO is also a critical safety item of your electric water heater. If the water in the water heater was allowed to continue heating uncontrolled the one remaining safety device before a water heater explosion is a T&P valve functioning properly. If you do not have the skills required to safely and properly test your water heater please call a Licensed Plumber. 411Plumb assumes no liability for this advice or your ability to accomplish it safely.
Testing The ECO
Under the upper side access panel measure for voltage passing through the ECO switch to the thermostat section of the upper thermostat. If the voltage is present and being supplied to the thermostat section then move on to testing the thermostat and elements. If voltage is not present then the ECO switch requires resetting. If the water in the tank is still to hot it must be cooled down to allow resetting the ECO switch. Run hot water from a faucet to cool the tank. If the ECO switch will not reset replace the upper thermostat. If the Eco switch resets then move on to testing the thermostat and elements.
Testing the Elements
To test the elements turn off the power to the water heater and remove both the upper and lower side access panels. Disconnect both wires off the screw terminals on each heating element. Measure across the two screws with a multimeter set top resistance and the resistance should read about 12.8 Ohms for a 240-Volt/4500-Watt element. Then measure resistance from each screw to the water heater tank. This measurement should be an open circuit or infinite reading. If there is any connection from either screw to the tank the element is shorted and needs replacement.
Testing the Thermostat
With the tank cold turn on power to the water heater and measure for voltage from the top thermostat to the upper element, it should read 240-Volts. Check for power being fed to the lower thermostat and element, in this case it should read 0-Volts. Once the upper thermostat is satisfied the power supplied to the upper element should be 0-Volts and the voltage supplied to the lower thermostat and element should read 240-Volts. Once the lower thermostat is satisfied the lower thermostat should shut off power to the lower element.
Note: If testing reveals a fault of the internal wiring of the water on a water heater with foam insulation the wiring is generally not repairable and the water heater should be replaced. | msmarco_doc_00_25385912 |

How To Attach A Toilet Flapper Chain
The toilet flapper chain connects the toilet bowl handle to the toilet bowl flapper. When you push on the toilet bowl handle the chain then pulls the toilet flapper up and water will rush inside of the toilet bowl creating the toilet flush. If you are installing or replacing a toilet flapper you will need to know how to attach and re-attach the toilet chain to the flapper. Sometimes the toilet chain might even come loose from time to time if the chain is not adjusted correctly. Often when people install the toilet flapper or toilet chain they do not leave even slack causing the chain to be to tight and then when someone flushes the toilet bowl handle to hard the toilet chain will pop off or disconnected from the toilet flapper.
If your toilet bowl has a plastic flapper chain you will want to replace it will a metal chain for a number of different reasons. The plastic chain can tear a lot easier then a metal chain. The plastic toilet bowl chain can stretch out and the cause your toilet not to flush correctly. So you will want to replace your plastic toilet flapper chain with a metal toilet chain. Before you can change the toilet chain you will need to shut the water off to the toilet bowl. There should be a valve to the left of the toilet bowl tank around 6″ inches from the floor. You can turn the water supply valve to the right to shut the water off.
Once the water is off to the toilet bowl you will want to remove the toilet tank lid by lifting it straight up. Place the toilet tank lid off to the side so it does not get in your way while you are doing the toilet bowl repairs. Now you should flush the toilet with the water being off so the toilet tank empties and you can work on the toilet chain and the flapper. You first will want to remove the chain from the toilet handle. After you remove the chain from the toilet handle you will want to remove the chain from the flapper. Once both ends of the toilet chain are disconnected you can remove the old toilet chain from the toilet bowl tank.
You now will want to attach the new metal toilet bowl chain to the toilet handle and the toilet flapper. You will first want to attach the toilet chain to the flapper and then you will want to attach it to the toilet handle. You will want to make sure that you leave around 1/2″ inch of slack in the toilet chain so if someone flushes to hard the toilet chain will not disconnect or come loose from the toilet handle or the flapper. Once you have connected both end of the new toilet chain you will want to turn the water back onto the toilet bowl. Once the toilet tank is full you will want to push the toilet handle and make sure the toilet flushes correctly. If the toilet flushes correctly you will want to replace the toilet tank lid. | msmarco_doc_00_25391922 |

How To Check The Bladder In Your Well Pressure Tank | How To Check The Bladder In Your Well Pressure Tank
How To Check The Bladder In Your Well Pressure Tank
Checking the bladder in your well tank is important if your well pump is running frequently with only a small amount of water being used. The well tank is used to store water for use between pumping cycles. When the well pressure tank is not working properly the pump will run frequently on short cycles and burn out.
There are two basic types of well pressure tanks, which you may find in your home, the first being a tank, which does not have a bladder and the second, which has a bladder. The non-bladder is easily recognized by its typical galvanized steel construction, lack of an air valve on the top of the tank, and an air control valve mounted on the side of the tank which controls the air/water level in the tank. Non-bladder pressure tanks require more frequent maintenance and replacement with a bladder type pressure tank should be considered. The bladder type tank is easily recognized by its painted steel construction, and having an air valve on top of the tank similar to an air valve on a tire. The bladder tank will have a single pipe into the tank and will not have an air control valve mounted on the side. Some of the typical names you will see on the tank are Amtrol Well-X-Trol, Well-Rite, Flexcon, WellMate, and Sta-Rite, but there are many others as well. I personally favor the Amtrol Well-X-Trol, and the Flexcon and there are many that I would avoid such as Flo-Tech.
Bladder tanks have two separate sections of the tank separated by the rubber bladder. The air section should be pressurized when there is no pressure on the water side of the system to 2-psi less than the pressure where the well pump turns on, if the system has pressure the tank will read only the system pressure and not the air pre-charge. When the well pump turns on the pressure on the water side of the tank increases and water flows into the tank and to wherever you are using water, until enough water has flowed into the tank to allow the system pressure to reach the pressure at which the pump cuts off. The water then flows out of the tank until the low-pressure setting is reached, and the pump turns on again. If the air pre-charge is not high enough the tank will over fill with water or, become waterlogged, and the water will not push out of the tank, this will cause the pump to short cycle, turning on virtually every time water is used, and cause the pump motor to overheat and burn out. If the tank air pre-charge is set too high not enough water will enter the tank and the pump will also short cycle.
To check the pressure on your well pressure tank and refill the tank you will need a tire pressure gauge, and an air pump. The first thing you should do is make sure that you know the pressure at the point where the pump turns on. Make sure the pressure gauge on your well pump system is working correctly, I like to lightly tap on the gauge with my fingers to make sure the gauge is not sticking giving a bad reading. Your air pre-charge will be 2-psi less than the pressure where the pump turns on. While the well pump system is at its maximum pressure I go to the air valve on the top of the tank. Sometimes the air valve might have a plastic cover that has to be removed first to see it. I press the pin in the center of the valve and see what comes out. If air comes out the bladder in most cases is good. If water comes out the bladder has failed and the tank requires replacement. If the bladder is bad it is not an emergency where you are without water, you may wait for a weekday or, until payday, or even a little longer. But the tank does need replacing, once the bladder has failed the air pre-charge will be absorbed by the water, making frequent recharging necessary to avoid damaging the pump. The air section of the steel tank will also start to rust and water quality will start to suffer. If the bladder has failed simply pump enough air into the tank that the cycles are normal length and get the pressure tank replaced as soon as possible.
Once you have checked the tank air valve, made certain the bladder was okay, and noted the low pressure where the pump turns on, you are ready to pressurize the bladder. Turn off the well pump and open a faucet at the lowest point in the house. Allow the water to run until it stops coming out of the faucet, leave the faucet on. Once the water stops coming out of the faucet use the air gauge to take a pressure reading at the air valve on the top of the tank. The air pressure should read 2-psi less than the pressure at which the pump turns on. If the pressure is low attach the air pump to the air valve on the top of the tank and pump air into the tank until the pressure reaches the correct pre-charge setting. Once that is done place the cap back on the air valve and turn the pump back on then close the faucet. If you cannot get the pressure in the bladder to increase and air starts coming out of the faucet the bladder has failed and you should follow the instructions in the paragraph above. If the air pre-charge is high when you check the pressure you should press the center pin and allow air to escape until the proper pre-charge pressure is reached then replace the cap on the air valve, turn on the pump and turn off the faucet. | msmarco_doc_00_25395029 |

How to Fix a Clogged Bathtub Drain
In this article I will give you clear easy to follow instructions on how to clear a slow running or clogged bathtub drain. Before you call a plumber to unclog a bathtub drain there are a few easy to do things that you should check yourself. Most tub clogs are caused by hair and in many cases the hair is within easy reach for the Do It Yourself homeowner. A few simple tools and you can often restore the drainage to its full potential. All you need is a screwdriver, pliers, and a piece of fairly stiff wire bent into a hook shape. A mechanic’s parts retriever pictured near the bottom of this page and costs about $5 at auto parts stores also works quite well if you have one or, can get one. The first thing you need to do is gain access to the area of the drain where the hair is most likely to accumulate. Find the type of drain you have pictured below and follow the instructions for that drain. Following the simple steps for removing the hair from your drain in many cases eliminates the need for calling a plumber to clean the drain. Periodic cleanings can keep your drain flowing free and eliminate those disgusting ankle deep showers while half an hour of your time can save you a hundred dollars or more.
Drain Cleaning Chemicals
Drain Cleaning Chemicals are a waste of time and money, and often are corrosive chemicals which can damage the finish and the piping of your tub drain. Since most tub clogs are caused by hair the only permanent effective solution is to remove the hair from the drain. Drain Cleaning Chemicals cannot dissolve hair no matter what they claim in their ads. At best they can strip the soap and conditioner slime that builds up on the hair and allow the tub to drain marginally better for a short period of time.
Pop-Up Type Bathtub Drain
Probably the worst type of drain for catching hair is the pop-up style of drain stopper. There is nothing to stop the hair from leaving the tub and getting into the drain and there is lots of stuff in the drain for it to catch on. The first thing to do is grab hold of the pop-up stopper and lift it out of the drain. It is hinged and bends at the hinges to allow removal and reinsertion into the drain. After removing the pop-up take the 2 screws out of the overflow plate and lever up high on the side of the tub under the spout. With some wiggling and pulling the plate and its attached linkage should pull out of the overflow tube. On the bottom of the linkage there is a wire shaped like a spring and it is almost certain that there will be a large amount of hair wrapped on this. Using the hooked wire or, the mechanics parts retriever, check to see if you can remove any more hair caught in the tub shoe which runs from the tub drain to the tee. Then check down the overflow to the p-trap below. Once you are certain all the hair has been removed reinsert the pop-up stopper into position. It should go in and land in the closed position. After the pop-up stopper is in place reinsert the linkage into the overflow and screw the plate and lever back into position.
Grid Type Bathtub Drain
The grid type bathtub drain is probably the least likely bathtub drain to have a clog. The grid stops a large amount of the hair from going down the drain keeping it right on top of the grid where it can be picked up after using the tub. Some hair may make it through the grid where it then usually accumulates on the screw that secures the grid in place and on the crossbars that the screw threads into. Simply remove the screw securing the grid in place and clean the hair from the cross bars and screw using needle nose pliers, the hooked wire, or, the mechanics parts retriever. Also take the 2 screws out of the overflow plate and lever up high on the side of the tub under the spout. With some wiggling and pulling the plate and its attached linkage should pull out of the overflow tube. On the bottom of the linkage is a barrel shaped piece, this barrel is what blocks the flow of water coming out of the tub. Seldom is this barrel shaped piece a problem but clean it if needed. While the overflow is open check the drain down through the overflow to the p-trap using the hook shaped wire or the mechanics parts retriever to see if there is any hair that is further down in the drain. Once you are certain all the hair that was in the drain has been removed reinstall the parts you have removed back into place.
Lift and Turn, Toe Tap, and Flip Lever Bathtub Drains
The lift and turn, toe tap, and flip lever bathtub drains are just about as notorious for being hair catchers as the pop-up type. Once again there is nothing to stop the hair from leaving the tub. Just like the drains above the stopper will need to be removed to clean the hair out from the drain. With lift and turn drains they are removed by either partially closing the stopper and turning it to unscrew the drain or, removing the knurled knob from the top of the stopper and then unscrewing the screw underneath. Toe tap stoppers remove by just gripping the stopper and unscrewing it. Flip lever stoppers are usually just a push in friction fit device so pulling them out is usually a matter of pulling along with some twisting and rocking. Once the stopper has been removed the hair will be usually caught on the crossbar underneath the stopper where it can be removed with needle nose pliers, the hook shaped wire or, the mechanics parts retriever. Also take the 1 or 2 screws out of the overflow plate and lever up high on the side of the tub under the spout and remove the plate. Check down the overflow tube to the p-trap using the hook shaped wire or, mechanics parts retriever to see if there is any hair further in the drain. Once you are certain all the hair has been removed reattach the overflow plate and stopper back on place.
Cable Controlled Bathtub Drains (Not Pictured)
These drains have a lot of variables as to how they disassemble, but, in most cases the pop-up will just lift out of place. Underneath the stopper there will be a grid with a guide for the stopper and some type of linkage that lowers or raises the pop-up. Lift the stopper out and remove the hair using needle nose pliers, the hook shaped wire or, mechanics parts retriever. Methods used to get into the overflow to remove hair from further in the drain will vary depending on the manufacturer and I would recommend consulting the manufacturer’s instructions to avoid breaking anything.
Additional Information
Most of the bathtub waste and overflow drains are in the configurations shown in the drawings on this web page. However, there are a small percentage of waste and overflows in use that may drain out to the rear horizontally or, may drain straight down from the tub drain, if you have one of these drains some adaptation of the above procedures will be required.
Once you have cleaned the hair out of the drain and reassembled the parts back into their original configuration you are ready to test the drain. Run water into the tub and make sure the stopper is working correctly and the drain is draining properly again. A rule of thumb for a tub drain is that it must keep up with the flow of water from the shower. If you can run the shower and not accumulate water in the tub it is draining okay. If the water continues to build or is completely stopped up after attempting these steps your best bet is to call in a drain cleaning professional to clean the drain line. By following these steps you have cleaned the drain from the tub to the p-trap and cleaning the balance of the drain after the trap is best left to the pro with his professional grade equipment. In many cases you will find success in following these steps and you will save money. | msmarco_doc_00_25400683 |

How to Replace your Toilet Fill Valve with a Fluidmaster 400A
If you have a toilet fill valve on your toilet that is not shutting off and is wasting water or, not refilling the tank properly, or making noises in many cases the Fluidmaster 400A is the ideal replacement choice. The 400A fits into more applications, is less expensive, and works better than many other fill valves, making it the ideal replacement choice in many toilet makes and models.
The first thing you need to do is lift off the tank lid and look inside the tank at the fill valve that is there. You need to look at it and make sure that the Fluidmaster 400A will fit in your toilet. The height is adjustable from 9” to 14” and it has a small diameter that usually does not conflict with other toilet tank parts. There are some toilets that have proprietary fill valves that mount in the corner of the tank, some incorporate parts of the flush valve with the fill valve, and some like the Toto G-Max have a special fill valve that has a higher bowl refill rate. Take a look at your fill valve and see if the Fluidmaster 400A appears to be compatible with your toilet. If you have a proprietary fill valve that is very complicated, that usually goes along with “expensive,” I would seek the advice of a plumber, often these valves cannot be replaced with a Fluidmaster 400A.
Common Fill Valves
Most fill valves are quite common, these fill valves or, ballcocks as we call them in the trade are stand alone devices and not tied to other components in the tank. The tank mounting hole is far enough out of the corner of the tank where the Fluidmaster 400A can be installed without interference from the tank or, other components. In some cases The Fluidmaster 400A will work with low profile toilets but in other cases the valve height cannot be adjusted low enough or the operational range is insufficient in which case a proprietary fill valve would be required.
Proprietary Fill Valves
On a few toilets there are designs which require the use of a special fill valve. Sometimes it is a low profile tank where the Fluidmaster 400A cannot be adjusted low enough or, be set to turn on and off in the right range. Other times the manufacturer just puts the hole in the tank to close to a corner or side so the float will hit against the tank not having the clearance it needs to operate. Sometimes they also have unusual tubes that flow water to the bowl at different times triggered by the water level in the tank or, different bowl water level replenishment rates. Many of these fill valves that cannot be replaced by a Fluidmaster 400A. Some of the proprietary fill valves such as the Kohler Float Valve / Fill Valve Kit # 30668, Kohler Toilet Fill Valve / Flush Valve Combination # 30669, older Case toilets, and the American Standard Vent-Away, are in the $2 – 400 price range. A knowledgeable plumber may be able to rebuild them if parts are available.
How To Change A Fill Valve Step By Step
The following steps should be followed to replace the fill valve:
1.) Shut off the angle stop valve supplying the toilet. This is usually located under the tank on the left side where the supply comes out of the wall or, floor. Flush the toilet and hold the lever so the tank empties as much as possible. Open the tank lid and place it on the floor out of the way. Placing it on the floor ensures it does not fall and break. Tank lids can be quite expensive. Remove the rest of the water from the tank using a sponge, wet vac, or, just be ready to catch the rest of the water with a bucket when the fill valve nut is loosened. Verify that the water is off completely.
2.) Place a small tray to catch water under the angle stop valve if it comes out of the wall or, if it comes through the floor place rags around the pipe. Using a small adjustable wrench unscrew the nut on the supply line securing it to the angle stop valve. Then using channel lock pliers remove the nut securing the supply line to the old fill valve shank. A small amount of water will come out during this process.
3.) You are now ready to remove the nut on the old fill valve shank. This is what secures the old fill valve in place. Use channel locks to loosen it. If you have removed all the water nothing will leak but if you haven’t you will need to get a bucket in place to catch the water that is remaining in the tank. Once the nut is removed the old fill valve will lift out of the tank. Unclip the bowl refill tube from the overflow tube and discard the whole assembly.
4.) Remove the new fill valve and parts from the box. Cut the cone washer from inside of the shank washer. Place the shank washer on the fill valve shank with the smooth side facing up, the bottom of the shank washer has a ridge near the threads that helps the valve line up properly to the hole through the tank.
5.) Place the new fill valve in the tank to check its height. Look at the picture to the right which you may click on to enlarge and note the critical level mark on the ring of the valve. This ring must be at least 1” above the overflow tube for the valve to work properly. The proper operation of the anti siphon valve depends on this height to protect your drinking water from the toilet tank back-flowing into it. The valve body has 2 pieces that adjust the height by screwing the bottom shank while holding the top of the valve body still. Once the height is correct place the refill tube on the fill valve then place the valve in the tank in a manner that does not conflict with the other parts in the tank and the refill tube points towards the overflow tube. Secure the fill valve in place with the nut provided. Do not over tighten as the tank and or, plastic shank of the fill valve can crack and leak. Make sure that the float does not hit the walls of the tank or the trip lever.
6.) I recommend using a braided stainless steel supply line of the proper length to connect the water supply. They come in 9”, 12”, & 16” lengths. It is better to have one that is too long and loops rather than have it strained or, kinked. I do not recommend using the Watts Floodsafe closet connectors as I have seen some issues with them. I have seen them false trip and shut off the water supply to the toilet. But far worse I have seen a few that blew apart and caused a tremendous amount of water damage to the home. The connections on the braided stainless steel supplies are rubber gasketed and no Teflon tape or thread sealant is needed.
7.) At this point remove the cap of the overflow tube if there is one present. Insert the refill tube into the overflow tube and hold it in place with your right hand. While holding the overflow reach down with your left hand and turn on the water supply at the angle stop valve. The tank should fill to the water line marked on the tank or, overflow tube or, if there is no mark to 5/8” below the top of the overflow tube. Turn the water level adjustment screw until the water level is set properly. If the float hits the stops on the adjustment screw without the water level at the correct height the height of the valve is wrong. At this point the valve can no longer be turned to adjust height, so a different method is used. Turn the water back off at the angle stop valve. Pull the locking collar up towards the float. This releases the screw so the valve can be raised or lowered by pushing and pulling. When the correct height is reached push the locking collar back down to again secure the valve in place. Failure to do this will cause the top half of the valve to launch and a resulting geyser. Make sure the collar goes all the way back down into the locked position.
8.) Once the water level is set correctly pull the refill tube back out of the overflow tube. There are 2 ways to secure the refill tube to the overflow tube. The refill tube must fasten above the overflow tube and direct its flow into the tube. If the refill tube is down inside the overflow tube the water from the tank may siphon into the bowl causing the tank to keep refilling only to leak into the bowl again. The refill tube angle adapter can be used if there is room for the refill tube to feed it without stress or, kinking. Quite often I use the other method which is to remove the metal mounting clip from the angle adapter. The tube then goes over the round part of the metal clip and the clip secures to the overflow in the same manner. Trim the refill tube so it runs nicely without kinks or excessive loops.
9.) Check for leaks and proper flush. Place the lid back on the tank and cleanup!
As you can see this job is not difficult in most cases, if the fill valve was leaking and was not shutting off, this simple repair will often save you hundreds of dollars on your water bill. | msmarco_doc_00_25408932 |

How to Select and Change a Toilet Flapper
Leaking toilet flappers can waste an enormous amount of water without you realizing it. The water goes quietly down the drain often without you noticing the fill valve refilling the toilet then one day you receive the water bill and wonder why it is hundreds of dollars higher than it used to be. Often a flapper costing less than $10 is the culprit. If dye testing reveals a leaking flapper you need to replace it.
Unfortunately it is not a simple matter because there is no universal fits all toilet flapper. Today you are faced with a bewildering array of flappers for different manufacturers and models. Quite a few are proprietary and difficult to get if you are unlucky enough to have a less than popular model. You are also faced with flappers that are for older toilets that allow the entire tank to empty before closing, and flappers that close after allowing a certain amount of water into the bowl before closing.
You will probably need to know the make and model of the toilet as well as whether it is a full flow or, low flow toilet. It is also not a bad idea to shut off the water to the toilet and bring the flapper with you, so that a knowledgeable salesperson can identify the flapper. Researching on line and knowing the manufacturer part number is not a bad idea. Interestingly enough there are also times when the OEM part works best, and others where an aftermarket part manufacturer has a better part, this is an area where a plumbing pro will often have an edge from the experience of replacing many over time and knowing what works best. Another factor in determining if a flapper is good is whether or not the rubber it is made of is resistant to chlorine and chloramines. Those are chemicals that are used in water treatment of municipal water supplies to sanitize the water and keep it safe to drink. They are detrimental to the life of rubber when used in high amounts.
Conventional Flappers
Older toilets before the days of low flow toilets had flappers that allowed the water level to drain completely to the bottom of the tank. Also some low flow toilets use this type of flapper because the flush valve was raised off the bottom of the tank so less water was available, or a device was placed around the flush valve to hold the water back from reaching it. If you were to put a low flow flapper on an older toilet you would probably end up with a toilet that flushes every other flush. Some of the flappers that allow the toilet tank to drain to the level of the flush valve are shown below. There are indeed many more that aren’t shown and if you will note many look very similar but are not interchangeable.
Low Flow Flappers
Low flow flappers are designed to only let part of the contents of the tank to flow into the bowl before closing. Through a variety of designs such as floats that hold the flapper open until the water level drops to the set amount. Or, parts that turn to different positions so an air vent takes longer or shorter amounts of time to allow water into the flapper controlling buoyancy and when the flapper can close. Or, different discs that have differing orifice sizes controlling the speed water can enter into the flapper air camber again controlling the buoyancy and when it is allowed to close. If you put an older style flapper on a modern low flow toilet you will often see the toilet flush multiple times and sometimes the incoming water will actually prevent the contents of the bowl from leaving properly. Some of the more modern low flow toilets have an extra large diameter flapper that allows the water to flow from the tank to the bowl extra fast resulting in an extremely powerful flush. Some of the flappers for low flow toilets are shown below again you will note there are many with subtle differences and also some of them are the large diameter models.
Tank Balls, Flush Discs, and Flush Tower Seals
If the differences in the flappers I discussed above aren’t enough there are other types of devices other than flappers used to control the flow of water into the bowl such as triple seal tank balls, discs, and seals that screw or snap onto parts that are reused. Some of these are pictured below.
Success is often determined by research and knowledgeable sales persons at where you shop for the parts. Selecting the right part and installing it correctly is the difference between a job well done and failure. When you are finished the toilet should flush one time completely by just pressing and releasing the handle, and not leak water from the tank to the bowl when you are not flushing. If that doesn’t happen something is wrong and you need to fix it. | msmarco_doc_00_25418254 |

| How You Can Save $100 On Roto Rooter Drain Cleaning
How You Can Save $100 On Roto Rooter Drain Cleaning
You can save about $100 on a Roto Rooter drain cleaning or, sewer cleaning by following a few simple steps. When a Roto Rooter drain cleaning technician arrives at your home to clean a clogged drain he will first look at the problem to diagnose what is going on, and what he needs to do to fix the problem. The next thing he will do is quote a “Flat Rate” price to fix the problem and ask you to sign the estimate to get started. This is when you need to “Put The Brakes On” and start saving money. It is important to realize the the “Flat Rate” you were quoted has some hills in it that can be smoothed off lowering your Roto Rooter invoice by about $100.
Get Rid Of Hidden Costs and Unnecessary Add Ons
The first thing to do is remove the unneeded add ons from your bill. The Roto Rooter technician more than likely said he would “Clean and Treat” your drain line or, may have offered a gallon of Roto Rooter Pipe Shield along with the work. The “Clean and Treat” is the way the technicians are trained to sell their “Quota” of “Pipe Shield” without coming right out, and saying they are selling it to you. This product costs $52 for a gallon at this time, and the technician receives a commission of around $13 for the sale. The technician has a quota where he has to sell at least 4 gallons of Roto Rooter Pipe Shield each week. As a former employee of Roto Rooter I can assure you this product is not an easy sell on its own, and the company offers no substantial data that it even works. Most technicians will quote a “Clean and Treat” with vague references to the product, and hope the sale occurs. Make sure that you ask questions about what the “Clean and Treat” is, if that is what was offered, and decline the offer saying you only want the drain snaked, and do not want to buy the “Roto Rooter Pipe Shield.” Once you do this the price should decline about $52 and when the final bill is printed out a separate line item on the bill under drain care products for “Pipe Shield” $52 should not appear. Make sure to examine the final bill, and make sure it was not added onto the bill.
Discount Coupons
Roto Rooter routinely offers discount coupons on their website for a percentage off or, a set dollar amount. Make sure that you visit the Roto Rooter website and print out the coupons. Hold these for a “Trump Card” after negotiating additional discounts outlined below. You may get them to reach even deeper into their pocket.
If You Are A Senior Citizen Make Sure You Get Your Discount
The next thing you need to do is realize the “Flat Rate” that you were quoted off of the “Price List” has some wiggle room. If you are a senior citizen, the company policy states, that you are to receive a 10% discount off the price. Some technicians will automatically do this, and others will not ever mention this unless you ask for it. If you are a senior make sure that you get your discount! The discount should appear as a discount on the final bill printed out by the technician.
Additional Discounts Off the Flat Rate Are Available
The next thing about the “Flat Rate” you need to know is that the Roto Rooter technicians are routinely allowed to offer a discount of 10% to a customer that has a price objection, in order to close the sale. Some may be able to discount even further on their own, and almost always can go further with a manager’s permission. Simply said, Roto Rooter’s prices are on the high end of the scale, and the technicians are under the gun to keep a high enough close rate to avoid scrutiny by the company. When you play hardball the “Flat Rate” is negotiable! Everyone should negotiate even seniors that already have the 10% discounted off the price. When you make it known to them that you know other companies will do the work for less than their price, they will negotiate in order to keep the job from going to another company. Be aggressive and try to get even 15 or even 20% off the “Flat Rate!” You want the discount and a full guarantee of 6 months on the drain cleaning.
Don’t Feel Guilty!
Do not feel any guilt at pursuing the discount! Roto Rooter’s prices are on the upper end of the price scale because of their own choice to have high overhead costs. It’s not your fault, Roto Rooter opted to buy 2 full page ads in every phone book known to man, and have an abundance of managers. Even when the technician removes the Roto Rooter Pipe Shield and discounts the flat rate by 10% very little will be lost by him. If you figure the Pipe Shield was $52 and the drain cleaning was $360 for a “Clean and Treat” price of $412, which you then lowered $52 by cutting off the Pipe Shield, and an additional $36 by getting 10% off, you only lowered the technicians commission by $23.80 while lowering your cost $88.
Times are tough and you should always try to save what money you have, who knows what tomorrow will bring? You owe it to yourself to save money by removing expensive unnecessary add ons, and negotiating the “Flat Rate” price structure of Roto Rooter. | msmarco_doc_00_25423369 |

Niagara Flapperless Toilet Review | Niagara Flapperless Toilet Review
Niagara Flapperless Toilet Review
Niagara Flapperless Toilets are manufactured by Niagara Conservation which was started in 1977 by William Cutler, like many American businesses it had humble beginnings in the garage at his home. In the thirty years since its start in that garage it has grown providing many innovative products that conserve water and energy. Today the Niagara Conservation is headquartered in Cedar Knolls, New Jersey and has many satellite offices across the US an affiliate company in Toronto, Canada. Their products have gone global and they are sold throughout North America, South America, the Caribbean, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia.
The Niagara Flapperless Toilet is a unique design unlike any other toilet made today. At first glance it looks like any other toilet, there is a bowl and a tank, with a handle on the side of the tank to activate the flush. But when you lift the tank lid and see what it’s got under the hood you will see a radical design that changes everything. This “Flapperless” toilet is exactly what the name says it is. There is a unique fill valve that comes up high in the tank over a “Tipping Bucket” the fill valve fills the “Tipping Bucket” to the prescribed level either 1.6 gallons or, 1.28 gallons depending on the model. When you use the Niagara Flapperless Toilet you simply press the handle on the side of the toilet and the “Tipping Bucket” overturns spilling the prescribed amount of water into the tank where it flows through where a flapper would have been in a regular toilet, down into the bowl causing the toilet to flush. The “Tipping Bucket” then rights itself and refills for the next flush.
This unique Flapperless design effectively cures a toilet maintenance problem that wastes vast amounts of water every year. Flappers on toilets are under attack by chemicals in the water from the first moment they are put into service. Water suppliers use Chlorine and Chloramines to sanitize the water keeping it safe to drink. These chemicals attack rubber components in the toilet tank and typically give them a service life in the area of five years. When a flapper degrades it usually starts to leak and the leaking often goes unnoticed because the water flows through the toilet and into the drain quietly. Only people that change out a worn flapper ahead of time, notice the fill valve refilling the tank without being flushed, or dye test their toilets to detect flapper leaks manage not to waste water.
Niagara Flapperless Toilets are offered in 1.6 and 1.28 gallon per flush models. The 1.28 gallon per flush models meet EPA WaterSense Certification Requirements and are eligible for government and water company rebate programs in many areas of the US and Canada. Check in your area for rebate availability and the program requirements. The Niagara Flapperless Toilets come in round and elongated bowl models, and also many models meet ADA height requirements. In addition the “Tipping Bucket” can be reversed to allow the handle to be on either the right or, left side. The tank to the bowl connection is adjustable so each model’s rough in dimension (distance from wall to the center of the bowl outlet) is fully adjustable from 10 to 12 inches. All models have a large 2” diameter trapway that is fully glazed to help prevent sticking and clogging and they have a large 10” wide X 20” long foot print to provide a stable base and cover the footprint of your old toilet without having to redo the floor because of stains under the base of the old toilet. The large tank should also cover the wall that hid behind your old toilets tank as well avoiding the need for wall repairs. One of the neat things about the Flapperless design is that the tank sweating in periods of high humidity is eliminated because the cold incoming water never touches the tank long enough to make it sweat. All Niagara Flapperless Toilet Models come with a Lifetime Warrantee on the vitreous china parts and a 10 Year Warrantee on component parts. The simplicity of this design should make this toilet a reliable performer with the only parts that wear being the fill valve which is made for Niagara Conservation by Fluidmaster and the pivot points of the tipping bucket. Other than those 2 items there is nothing that moves and can wear.
The Niagara Flapperless Toilet performance has generally been good with MaP Report Testing coming in between 400 and 1,000 grams of solids per flush depending on the model. Niagara makes quite a few different models of Flapperless Toilets under their own name and Home Depot’s names where they are sold as Glacier Bay, and Pegasus Flapperless Toilets. When selecting a toilet, checking the MaP Testing on the specific model is a good idea to ensure that you get a flush performance level you can be happy with.

About The Author: This article was composed by Joseph from WeThead’s Pump Repair. Joseph has been repairing pumps for over 20 years. Please note this information is provided as a reference to help you, Enjoy!
If your pool pump is starting to make some noise like a squealing sound or maybe even a loud screaming, you may be think that the only way to fix this is to go out and buy a new pump. This is in facet not true, you can repair the pump yourself or have someone do it for you for less then half the price of a new pump.
Inside your pool pump is a few parts that can easily be changed if you have the time and then right tools. Many pump shops would love to have your business and would welcome you with open arms if you were to bring your pump in for repair. Many repair shops usually have rapidly fast turn round time because they realize that this is the heart of your pool filter system if you are in facet bring the pump in for repair during the pool season.
Electric Motor Pricing: The Last 10 Years
In the last 10 years the price of electric motors whether they are used for pool pumps or not have gone up very high. Back in 1994 the price for a replacement 1.5 HP electric motor was way under the $100 mark. Today in 2011, the price for some replacement electric motor have exceed to the tune of $300+ and up.
If you rebuild the pool pump motor yourself you can do so with about $40 dollars in replacement parts and a few hours of your time. if you are not handy, it is still cheaper to have a pump repair shop or an online pump repair service rebuild the pump and motor for you. The average price of a pool pump rebuild is around $149.00. The repair shop will change your electric motor bearings, replace your seal and then also check your motor windings, clean and spray paint the pump.
So what you want to ask yourself is, “isn’t it worth it to repair or have someone repair my pump for less then half the price vs spending all that money?”
Tools You Will Need To Repair / Rebuild Electric Motors
You will need some basic hand tools and also some specialty hand tools as well to rebuild your electric pool pump motor. Some of these tools are expensive but also can be rented or borrowed from a friend or neighbor.
Specialty Tools Needed:
Bearing Puller
You will need a bearing puller to pull the bearings from the motor armature / pump motor shaft. You can either buy one or rent one from a tool rental store.
Arbor Press / Bearing Press Tool
You will either need an arbor press or a bearing press tool to replace the bearings. Most local auto parts stores will have a bearing press tool you can either buy or rent. You can also stop by a local machine shop and ask then to press on the bearings for you. You may even know someone with an arbor press. Ask around.
Hand Tools Needed:
Hammer
You will need a basic hammer to bang the end bells free from the motor casing. If you have a ball peen and a rubber mallet that would be a perfect set up for the electric motor repair.
Screwdrivers
You are going to need both a Philips head and a flat head screw driver, in the #2 (medium tip ) and #3 (large tip) sizes.
Nut-drivers
If you have a nut driver set that would make your life so much easier when repairing the pump Vs trying to use quarter inch sockets to remove the motor through bolts. i would suggest that you go out and borrow or buy a nut driver set because sometimes if you use brute force like with a socket you may snap the through bolt. If you snap the through bolt of in the end bell, you still will be able to repair the moor but you just created more work for yourself because no you will have to drill that bolt out.
Open End Wrench Set
You are also going to need an open end wrench set. Just a basic set sizing from 3/8″ to 5/8″ will work most of the time.
Preparing For The Pool Pump Motor Rebuild / Overhaul
If your considering rebuilding your electric motor and pump you should also think about the amount of time that your pump is going to be removed from the filter system. If the weather is hot and your pools chemicals are not balanced correctly you could wind up with a green pool.
The best thing to do is to make sure that your water chemistry in your pool is all in the proper ranges.
As a quick tip:
Your ALK should be between 80 – 120 PPM , Your PH should be between 7.2 – 7.4 PPM and your Chlorine should be around 2.3 PPM.
Then you will also want to run the pool filter system continuously for 24 hours before you remove the pump.
Electric Motor Repair Checklist
Here is a quick checklist to see if you have enough time and tools to rebuild your electric pool pump motor.
Basic Hand Tools
Specialty Tools
Ball Bearings
Mechanical Seal
Pool Has been chemically treated
Have enough time to rebuild the pump
Parts Are Available & Affordable
So now that you have been educated and realize that it it was economically sound to have your pool pump rebuilt rather then buy a new once, you should head over to get some new bearings and a mechanical seal for your pump. | msmarco_doc_00_25434505 |

When a toilet flushes slowly there are really on two possible causes. The water is either slow going out through the trapway of the toilet bowl drain or, the water is too slow going from the tank to the bowl and the siphon of the water out the drain never occurs. The siphon is the process that rapidly clears the bowl and its contents with the gulping of air down the drain at the finish. When the water enters the bowl to slow the water just slowly runs through the toilet and doesn’t effectively remove the waste. Sometimes the waste just swirls around and only part of the waste leaves with each flush.
Siphon Flush
If you look at the side view of many toilet bowls you can see the outline of the trapway which sweeps up from the bowl then curves downward along the back of the bowl then continuing downward curves again towards the front of the bowl and goes out the outlet at the bottom between the two bolts that secure the bowl to the floor. The initial upward sweep and then the downward curve is what controls the water level in the bowl, and the trap way is a couple of inches in diameter. When the toilet is flushed a large volume of water should enter the bowl. Some toilets have a siphon jet which is a hole at the bottom of the bowl pointing into the trapway which water pours out of helping to push water into the trapway. The large volume of water should completely fill the trapway setting up a siphon, which sucks the water and waste out of the bowl ending with the air gulping into the trapway. If the water volume entering the trapway is insufficient to set up the siphon action the water just flows over the top of the trapway like water over a dam, this action is what results in the slow flush.
Bucket Test
When a toilet flushes slow, one of the first things you can do is the bucket test, which will test the function of the bowl. Get a pail and fill it with the amount of water that your toilet is designed to flush with. Quickly pour the water from the pail into the bowl, and see how the toilet flushes. If the toilet flushes poorly then you should suspect a clogged trapway and have the toilet augured to remove the clog. If the toilet flushes well then you know the flow of water from the tank to the bowl is the problem and you should direct your efforts in that direction.
How To Improve Flow From The Tank To The Bowl
When faced with a tank to bowl flow problem one of the first things I look at is if “in tank bowl cleaners” are being used. The bowl cleaners often clog the internal water passages of the toilet causing problems. I remove the bowl cleaner from the tank before doing anything else and in some cases this alone fixed the problem. I check the level of the water in the tank to make sure that the tank fills to the water level line on the tank or, the overflow tube. If there is no mark then 5/8” below the top of the overflow tube should be used. Check the flapper to make sure that it stays open long enough when flushing and does so consistently. Replace the flapper if there is any doubt. Make sure the fill valve has water going through the bowl refill tube attached to the overflow tube and the bowl is refilling to the proper level. Slowly pour water into the bowl to see if the water level in the bowl increases. If part of the water from the flush is devoted to filling the bowl to the proper level it can cause a weak flush. Finally take a piece of coat hanger wire into each of the holes under the rim of the toilet bowl and make sure that the siphon jet is clean as well. Frequently mineral deposits can clog the holes around the rim and the siphon jet causing water to flow slowly into the bowl. Checking these items on your toilet may restore good flushing to a slow flushing toilet. If these steps do not improve the flush then the toilet may require replacement. | msmarco_doc_00_25440225 |

Why My Water Heater Makes Noise
Your water heater can make noise in a variety of ways ranging from hissing, popping, tapping, banging, and even jackhammer sounds. Some are indicators of problems while others are just age and improper maintenance that really are not much of a concern but will go away when the water heater is eventually replaced.
A hissing or, popping sound when the water heater is reheating is one of the more common sounds a water heater makes. When water is heated the water molecules expand taking up more room leaving less room for other things in the solution. The hardness minerals dissolved in the water such as lime feel this molecular expansion and precipitate out of the solution falling to the bottom of the water heater. The minerals build up on the bottom of the water heater and if you do not periodically flush the water heater will eventually coat the bottom of the water heater and may even cover the lower element in an electric water heater. This thick layer of minerals acts as insulation and keeps the water from having direct contact with the element of bottom of the tank. Water entrapped in the blanket of minerals being heated by the element on an electric water heater or, by the bottom of the tank on a gas water heater actually makes a series of small steam explosions as it is heated making hissing and popping sounds. If you have waited this long to flush your water heater the build up is probably quite hard and will not break up with just flushing. With gas water heaters the efficiency of the units will suffer, as the heat does not pass through the blanket of minerals as efficiently. With electric water heaters the build up covering the lower element will also affect heat transfer and many times will cause the element to overheat and burn out. With electric water heaters it is possible when changing a lower element to reach in through the hole for the lower element and break up the minerals so they may be flushed out.
A tapping noise or, buzzing noise when water is flowing can be caused by heat traps installed on the inlet and outlet of your water heater. Heat traps are basically small automatic valves that seal the inlet and outlet of the water heater when water is not flowing keeping the heat inside the insulated water heater instead of allowing the heat to escape into the pipes where it would be lost. Some manufacturers use heat traps that use a mechanism like a marble to seal the heat in. When water is flowing the “marble” moves in the flow making a tapping noise. Other manufacturers use heat traps, which have a flexible flapper type valve. This flexible flapper may vibrate at certain flow levels causing a buzzing sound when water is drawn. These sounds are generally harmless and will seem loudest at the inlet and outlet although the sound may transmit some distance away.
A banging noise when the water is shut off is usually water hammer. Water hammer is caused by the momentum of the water moving in the pipe coming to a sudden stop. The noise will often be a series of bangs louder at first and tapering off then stopping. Pipes that are not properly secured moving from the momentum can be a cause as well as excessive velocities of the flowing water in the pipes. Undersized pipes, and or, excessive pressure can cause the higher velocities. The pressure of your water supply should not exceed 80-psi and if it does a pressure-reducing valve should be installed in most cases with the pressure-reducing valve a thermal expansion tank should also be installed. Excessive velocities in a pipe may cause erosion of the pipe material resulting in leaks. Water hammer is a problem that may cause damage to components of your water supply system and should be addressed.
Jackhammer sounds are almost always accompanied by pulsations in the flow of water. This is usually caused by something loose in the stream of water, which in a sense is turning the water on and off rapidly making a constant series of water hammer type noises. These noises will often vary with the flow volume and may often disappear or, appear only within a certain flow range. Many times the loose debris may be a rubber washer on a valve that has come loose often from recent use. This is something that should be addressed as often it indicates a valve that will no longer function.
In any case while some noises may be harmless and not require any attention some may be serious and require repairs. For your safety it may be best to have a plumber check the noise out for you and determine its cause and if repairs are needed. Some noises particularly those relating to a gas burner operating on a water heater may be very serious and it is better to be safe than sorry. | msmarco_doc_00_25446309 |

Cain and Abel | Tithing Before Old Covenant Tithes and Offerings - Robbing God - Giving - Tithing - Bible Truths
Tithing before the Old Covenant also called and known as the Law of Moses:
By Evangelist Ron Davis, Minister of Christ
When we look at the very first recorded act of giving an offering to God - we see God respecting Abel’s offering of the firstborn of his flock and fat; yet God did not respect Cain or his offering of the “fruit of the ground” (notice its not said the first fruits of Cain fruits but only some)
Cain and Abel
Genesis 4
1 Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, "I have acquired a man from the LORD." 2 Then she bore again, this time his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. 3 And in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground to the LORD. 4 Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And the LORD respected Abel and his offering, 5 but He did not respect Cain and his offering. And Cain was very angry, and his countenance fell. 6 So the LORD said to Cain, "Why are you angry? And why has your countenance fallen? 7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it."
Note they were making an offering not tithing 10% of their increase. "Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground", not the first fruits as required when making an offering to God - and it must be the choice of the flock or herd , if the firstborn is defected. This story here actually shows us today what God really require of us is an offering of sacrifice to Him; and this was in effect before the law of Moses. So, what do I mean by this well it means as Romans 12:1-2 and Hebrews 13:15-16 says, God want an offering from us, a sacrifice freely given of our own freewill, and this today comes in the form of us obeying God will our whole body, mind and spirit.
Abel gave a better sacrifice than Cain, and God testified of Abel's gifts (note a gift is freely given and not compel by someone to give to them).
Hebrews 11
4 By faith Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts; and through it he being dead still speaks.
Today, we as Christians are called upon to present offerings of sacrifice to God also; however, these offerings are of a spiritual nature, as seen in:
Romans 12
Living Sacrifices to God
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Hebrews 10
4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins. 5 Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: "Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me. 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure.
Hebrews 13
15 Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. 16 But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Mark 12
32 So the scribe said to Him, "Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He. 33 And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices." 34 Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, "You are not far from the kingdom of God."
But after that no one dared question Him.
Next, we have in Genesis 14 the first time in the Bible where tithing is mentioned. These peddlers of the word of God like to use this Scripture because it involves Abram later renamed by God as Abraham (Genesis . The most surprising thing will be that what these gospel peddlers have not told you concerning what this Scripture really says, take for instance the phase "he brought back all the goods" (v.16); meaning Abraham had goods with him that he had captured in battle. Abraham also brought back "his brother Lot and his goods" (v. 16) that were taken by those who attacked the king of Sodom and those with him. It also says, "the king of Sodom went out to meet" Abraham after he had defeated those kings who attacked Sodom and captured Lot (v. 17). Now, these verses says, "Melchizedek King of Salem brought out bread and wine" (v. 18), and he blessed Abraham; then it says Abraham, "gave Him a tenth of all" (v. 20). Now, the question is where did Abraham get this "tenth of all" from? Whose goods did Abraham give Melchizedek a "tenth of all" from? Did Abraham run home to get some of his goods to tithe on? If Melchizedek and the king of Sodom met Abraham returning from battle did Abram make it to his household?
These are questions I want you to ponder because these ministers who preach the gospel for financial gain will not ask you these questions, but I want you to test all things that come into your mind. After receiving "bread and wine" and a blessing from the Melchizedek King of Salem, Abram said to the king of Sodom who was also there when he gave a tenth of the goods to the Priest of God, Melchizedek King of Salem, "I will not take anything that is yours, lest you should say, 'I have made Abram rich'". Abraham said this because the king of Sodom had offered him all of the goods to him for bringing back the persons captured from his city. Therefore, we see the goods that Abram tithed on was not his - read it for yourself in context - and I say again these gospels peddlers will never say this or read these verses in context - Abraham is only recorded this one time as giving a "tenth of all", and this all was what he captured in battle - and not his but Lot and the other kings of Sodom who met him before he arrived at his household!
Abraham
Genesis 14
16 So he brought back all the goods, and also brought back his brother Lot and his goods, as well as the women and the people. 17 And the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley), after his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him. 18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. 19 And he blessed him and said: "Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; 20 And blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand." And he gave him a tithe of all. 21 Now the king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give me the persons, and take the goods for yourself." 22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, "I have raised my hand to the LORD, God Most High, the Possessor of heaven and earth, 23 that I will take nothing, from a thread to a sandal strap, and that I will not take anything that is yours, lest you should say, "I have made Abram rich'-- 24 except only what the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion."
Notice Abraham gave the Priest of God Most High a tithe of all the goods that he captured from the kings who took Lot and his family into captive. He did not give a tithe of his grain and livestock nor did he keep any of the spoils for himself but allowed his men who went him to free Lot to have a portion of it. Now, these self-appointed tithe collectors claim these verses proved Abraham tithe; however, these verses actually proves Abraham did not tithe from the increase of his produce and livestock but he tithed with the king of Sodom goods which he had captured in battle. Furthermore, there are no other passages in the Bible mentioning that Abraham regularly tithed to any priests (not that there were any priests Abraham would have tithed to other than Melchizedek, King of Salem) - who claimed they were due tithes and offerings. Yet, these gospel peddlers will never tell their flocks this truth - which can be plainly seen by those with eyes to see, and heard by those who here the sound of my voice with ears to hear - all these ministers have to do is read these verses in context - whenever someone such as I point this out - they always like to say “I need to see the context of that”, they say this because they do not want nor do they wish to believe or do what God's word say.
Another part of the Scriptures that these self-appointed tithe collectors’ may use is Jacob's vow to God at Bethel. Again, once we read these verses in their proper context we see Jacob agreed to give God a tithe only if God blessed him first - now there's a blow to these Balaam’s who are peddling the word of God for tithes and offerings - try asking your minister about these verses and see what line they feed you concerning what's being said here - tell them when you get a blessing you will give them tithes out of that - and see how long they let you remain in ”their churches”.
Jacob
Genesis 28
Jacob's Vow at Bethel
10 Now Jacob went out from Beersheba and went toward Haran. 11 So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep. 12 Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13 And behold, the LORD stood above it and said: "I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants. 14 Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed. 15 Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have spoken to you." 16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it." 17 And he was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!" 18 Then Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it. 19 And he called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of that city had been Luz previously. 20 Then Jacob made a vow, saying, "If God will be with me, and keep me in this way that I am going, and give me bread to eat and clothing to put on, 21 so that I come back to my father's house in peace, then the LORD shall be my God. 22 And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God's house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You."
Now, we know already that God my Father and your God honored this vow because Jacob was blessed along with all his descendants, and God brought Jacob back to his father’s house safely; and God reminded Jacob of this vow when He brought Jacob back safely to his father’s house. I wonder what these self-appointed ministers who claim they are pointed by God to extort tithes for God would say to these verses. Notice, Jacob said he would tithe to God if God would bless him with food and clothing and keep him in the way and bring him back to his father's house in peace. Now, if Jacob is vowing to give God tithes of all that God give him then it must be assumed that before this he did not tithe on his increase nor did he tithe on anything else he may have own; otherwise, he would have said, "I will continue to give You a tenth of what You give me or I will increase my tithes and offerings to You".
Notice, God first promises Jacob He would bless him then Jacob says if God will do what He has promised him then Jacob said, "all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to" God the Father of Abraham and Isaac. So Jacob promised to give a tenth of what God gave him back to God, but no temple of priests were around for Jacob to give to so you must ask yourself to whom if anyone did Jacob give this tenth or tithe to? Reading the story of Jacob again we do not see it recorded anywhere where he ever gave this tithe to God (assuming God at this time was represented earth by some priest or someone - because we see Abraham tithing with someone else goods to Melchizedek, king of Salem, the priest of God Most High, but no one is mentioned in Jacob’s time).
Now, we see and know God blessed Jacob and those who were with him were blessed also because of Jacob (Genesis 30:25-43 and 31:1-21). In Genesis 31:13, God reminds Jacob of the meeting in Bethel where Jacob "anointed the pillar" and God says to Jacob "where you made a vow to Me". Here God reminds Jacob of his vow to Him - yet still there is no recording by the Holy Spirit that Jacob gave a tenth of his blessing to God at this time - however he did give Esau presents. In verses 31:24,29,41-42, God insures Jacob return to his father's house in peace. When we get to Genesis 31:53-54, "Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain, and called his brethren to eat bread". Jacob (performing the duties of a priest of God) offered sacrifices to God on the mountains of Gilead. So, here we see the man of Jacob performing the duties of a priest by offering his own sacrifice to God.
So far, we see that the only time a man of God gave a tithe to a priest representing God was Abraham tithe to Melchizedek, the Priest of God Most High. Up until this time only the men of God (I say men because only the men were allowed to offer sacrifices - no women are recorded offering sacrifices). Therefore, we must conclude that the men of God made sacrifices to God and ate it themselves or used it as a burnt offering as Jacob did in Genesis 31:53-54. Jacob even struggled with and prevailed as it is said in verse 32:28 "Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel" (meaning Prince with God), for Jacob had "struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed".
In Genesis 32, the angels of God met Jacob just prior to him meeting Esau his brother, and Jacob called the place “double camp” and divided his household into two camps. Jacob then prayed to God reminding God what He said to him in verse 32:12 of Genesis. Afterwards, Jacob sent presents by his servants in droves meaning each servant drove a herd or flock with distance between each other (Genesis 32:13-21).
Genesis 32
13 So he lodged there that same night, and took what came to his hand as a present for Esau his brother: 14 two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams, 15 thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals. 16 Then he delivered them to the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, "Pass over before me, and put some distance between successive droves." 17 And he commanded the first one, saying, "When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, "To whom do you belong, and where are you going? Whose are these in front of you?' 18 then you shall say, "They are your servant Jacob's. It is a present sent to my lord Esau; and behold, he also is behind us."' 19 So he commanded the second, the third, and all who followed the droves, saying, "In this manner you shall speak to Esau when you find him; 20 and also say, "Behold, your servant Jacob is behind us."' For he said, "I will appease him with the present that goes before me, and afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me." 21 So the present went on over before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
Then in Genesis 32:26, Jacob would not let God go until God blessed him with another blessing. Again, when Jacob finally meets his brother Esau, he says to Esau who asked Jacob about the presents he sent and the little ones with him; then Jacob replied these are the "children whom God has graciously given your servant" (Genesis 33:5). Notice here that Jacob refers to himself as Esau's servant; and again Jacob says in verse 33:8 speaking of the presents he sent Esau, "These are to find favor in the sight of my lord" (speaking of Esau, his brother, Jacob calls him lord). Jacob tells Esau he wants to find favor in his sight. Esau not wanting to accept the presents Jacob offered to him says, "I have enough, my brother, keep what you have for yourself". Now, please take note as to what Jacob says next, Genesis 33:10-11... "No, please, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present from my hand, inasmuch as I have seen your face as though I had seen the face of God, and you were pleased with me. Please, take my blessing that is brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough"... Now, these verses tells us that Jacob saw Esau as standing for and representing God to him; and Jacob confirmed his willingness to fulfill his promised to God through giving to Esau with this statement “God has dealt graciously with me”.
Notice, here also that Jacob says to Esau "inasmuch as I have seen your face as though I had seen the face of God"; Jacob says that seeing Esau was like seeing the face of God - he confirms that giving to Esau was like giving to God. Then Jacob urged Esau to take the gifts (offerings), and he took them. This was the fulfilling of Jacob promise to give God a tithe of all that God gave him and for bringing him back to his father's house in peace; even though it do not say tithe but presents. We must see how Jacob counted the livestock and donkeys and camels he gave his brother in Genesis 32:14-15. I mean why would Jacob carefully count out the livestock and donkeys and camels he gave Esau unless he was taking a tenth for Esau - think about what I am saying here. Jacob (or shall we say Israel because God gave him the name Israel in Genesis 32:28) is counting off God's tenth of what God had gave him for Esau. Notice, Jacob included the unclean animals, that is camels in this gift which could not be given as an offering but could be given as a tithe under the Deuteronomy law (remember Jacob left Esau on bad terms - for he had stolen Esau's birth right, yet he really didn't steal it for God had already given the birth right of the firstborn to Jacob - see Genesis 25:19-28).
Even more proof is in Ecclesiastes 5:1-7, where God speaks about making vows to Him hastily; God required this vow of Jacob because He reminded Jacob of it just prior to God bringing Jacob back safely to his father’s house. For those of you who would deny this, I ask these questions, why would God bring up the vow at this time? When God reminded Jacob of this vow, did this mean God required it from Jacob (I speak as a fool in light of Ecclesiastes 5)? If God did not require this vow from Jacob then what about Eccl. 5:1-7? I mean don’t you think God would require His servant, Jacob to keep a vow made to Him? Or did God just say no problem I kept My end of the bargain, and you don’t have to keep your end Jacob. Notice verse 4 of Ecclesiastes 5 below where it says, God has no pleasure in fools who make vows and do not pay it or they delay in paying; either way God says, don’t come to His messenger saying you error in making a vow. After reading Ecclesiastes 5, think of what these so-called bible scholars are saying when they claim Jacob never kept this vow.
Ecclesiastes 5
Fear God, Keep Your Vows
Fear God and Keep Your Word
1 Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil. 2 Do not be rash with your mouth, and let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; therefore, let your words be few. 3 For a dream comes through much activity, and a fool's voice is known by his many words. 4 When you make a vow to God, do not delay to pay it; For He has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you have vowed - 5 Better not to vow than to vow and not pay. 6 Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse [literally voice] and destroy the work of your hands? 7 For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity. But fear God.
Notice in Exodus 25 where God commands Moses to ask the children of Israel just before making the tabernacle to bring their freewill offering of the things needed to build a sanctuary that God “may dwell among them” (please remember here that God dwells today in the believer and He never needed a place built by man to dwell as the Scripture says but this was done for our learning and understanding of those things which of but a shadow of the things in the heavenly realm) - see the Scripture below:
Exodus 25
Offerings for the Sanctuary
1 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 2 "Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring Me an offering. From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering. 3 And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, and bronze; 4 blue, purple, and scarlet thread, fine linen, and goats' hair; 5 ram skins dyed red, badger skins, and acacia wood; 6 oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and for the sweet incense; 7 onyx stones, and stones to be set in the ephod and in the breastplate. 8 And let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. 9 According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it.
Now, if the people were already tithing as these self-appointed ministers claim Abraham tithed; thereby, proving as they say (for the word of God do not say this nor was tithing commanded by God before the law of Moses) tithing was in effect prior to the giving of the law of Moses. Yet, these gospels peddlers do not nor can they explain why no other references in the Scriptures prior to the giving of the Law mentions tithing, nor do they show any of the former men (or women for that matter) of God who were tithing prior to the Law of Moses. Jacob did not tithe either, and the vow that he made to God in Genesis 28:20-22, he made it with an "if" God blessed him first and brought him back to his father house in peace (however, he did give his brother Esau gifts which he counted out - this was Jacob way of keeping his promise to God).
I say again, you must ask these questions, and think about what I am saying here? If Abraham tithed on his produce and livestock then to whom did he give it to? If Jacob tithed then to whom did he give it to? Did he give it to Laban while staying with him? Why is it not recorded that Isaac tithed or any other person of God prior to the Law of Moses? If God commanded the people of Israel who had land and livestock to tithe to maintain the tabernacle and later the temple of God then what would Abraham and all the other men of God tithe to maintain if as these gospel peddlers claim they tithed?
You see how many strange questions we must answer when we entertain this twisted view of the Scriptures (tithing outside of the Old Covenant is only a tradition of men, a doctrine of Satan and his followers). God always asked only for offerings and sacrifices from His people prior to the the Old Covenant (nor can these gospel peddlers point to any Scripture where God commanded anyone to tithed prior to the law of Moses) - see verse 2 and 3 above in Exodus 25. God never said to the people of God to give tithes to no one until the law of Moses; and then God only commanded the land and livestock owners to tithe (those who had the means to tithe) not the poor, needy and widows. If you did not own land you did not tithe or if you did not own at least ten animals of livestock you did not tithe.
The New Testament or new covenant reminds us that the old covenant and its ordinances and regulations were only shadows of the things to come under the new covenant and the age to come (the things in heaven):
Colossians 2
16 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, 17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ.
Hebrews 8
4 For if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts according to the law; 5 who serve the copy and shadow of the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He said, "See that you make all things according to the pattern shown you on the mountain." 6 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is also Mediator of a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
Evangelist Ron Davis, a Minister of Christ, of the Kush Edifying Ministries proclaims the whole counsel of God. This ministry believes in the command of Jesus to His disciples in Matthew 10:7-8 “As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near.' Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give” (NIV). Jesus commands us to “freely” preach the word without demanding those preached to give to you.

What does it mean to be "in the world, but not of the world"? How can I live like Jesus wants me to?
"Be in the world, but not of the world" is a phrase that's heard a lot in Christian subculture. It refers to what Jesus said as recorded by one of His close friends in John 15:19 and John 17:14-16. This concept is also talked about later in the New Testament by the famous convert Paul (see: Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:22-24; 1 Thessalonians 4:1 ).
Who rules the world?
When the word "world" is used in the New Testament, it's a translation of the Greek word cosmos. (No, we're not getting all astrological on you.) "Cosmos" most often refers to the planet earth and its human inhabitants who live their lives with their backs turned toward God. Satan is the Prince of this "cosmos." Even Jesus called him that in John 12:31 (also John 16:11 ). The Apostle John mentions that the "whole world is under the control of the evil one" ( 1 John 5:19 ).
Basically, the system of the world is ruled by Satan. We really don't want to be a part of that, right? Awesomely enough, Jesus says that those who believe in Him are no longer a part of that cosmos—sin has no power over us, and we don't have to be trapped by the evil principles of the world. Even more awesome is that belief in Christ causes us to change. Our hearts will be less interested in the things of the world as we strive to be more like Jesus.
So if we aren't ruled by Satan and sin anymore, that's great, but we still live here! Yeah. Not so great. But Jesus has given us freedom from that evil, remember? We may be physically present ("in the world"), but we don't have to be a part of its values ("of the world"; John 17:14-16 ). We're set apart from the wickedness of the cosmos as we seek to live a holy, righteous life.
Don't start worrying. You DO have a choice!
Before you start worrying about measuring up, stop and listen (or read, rather). Believing in Jesus doesn't mean that you will automatically stop sinning. Sorry, but God didn't design humans to be robots with no ability to choose. We can still make our own decisions. But with Christ, we don't have to be a slave to those bad choices—we have the power to choose NOT to do the sinful stuff the world loves.
We can choose not to keep the corrupt darkness in our minds that the world wants to shove into our eyes and ears. We have the freedom to choose Jesus now ( Romans 12:1-2 ). It's a daily thing, a commitment, but remember that you have power in Christ ( 2 Corinthians 12:9 )—you're not alone.
You are a Representative of Another World
That said, we don't want to get all self-righteous, either. We are like Ambassadors for Christ's Kingdom, visiting a world that is not our home, showing people how amazing our real home-world is, and inviting them to come back with us. We're lights of hope to those who are stumbling around in spiritual darkness. How do we shine like hope?
Live your life in such a way that those who don't believe can see that there is something you have that is good and wonderful—something different, something they'll be curious about, something they'll want for themselves, too.
Don't Hate This World
Keep in mind that just because this world is not our home, that doesn't mean we should despise it. We can still enjoy the world , such as the beautiful creation God has given us. However, there is a dangerous darkness here that we must avoid. The world's values are not the things Jesus values. The world's pleasures are not the pleasures of an Ambassador of Christ, tempting as they may be. Personal pleasure is no longer our goal in life, as it once was, but rather the worship of God and living our lives as light in the dark.

Medicaid Asset Protection
In addition to setting up proper estate planning, nursing home planning, and Medicaid asset protection may be necessary. In Missouri, what was previously named Medicaid is now known as MO HealthNet. In most cases, some of a person’s assets can be saved when a family member is going to a nursing home. However, this is a very complex area of law, and no two people have the same set of circumstances. A consultation with an attorney practicing in the area of Elder Law can save you time and money. Generally, there are two different types of Medicaid planning: planning in advance and crisis planning. Crisis planning refers to what assets can be protected after a person has already entered a nursing home.

Protecting Assets for a Single Person
Planning in Advance:
Because Medicaid (MO HealthNet) has a 5-year look-back period, to protect all of your assets from being spent on nursing home care those assets would have to be transferred out of a person’s name 5 years prior to entering a nursing home. This can occur by actually gifting property and money to family members. However, an Irrevocable Medicaid Asset Protection Trust can be used instead of direct gifts.

How does an Irrevocable Medicaid Asset Protection Trust work?
Medicaid, known as MO HealthNet in Missouri, has a 5-year look-back period for gifting. That means if you gift away all of the assets today, in five years you would qualify for Medicaid to assist with paying for a nursing home without being penalized for the previous gifting of assets. With proper planning, it would give a person the ability to shelter their assets for their family instead of paying for all long-term care costs themselves. However, there are other valid planning techniques, and irrevocable trusts are not always desirable to some people. When you gift assets to a Medicaid compliant irrevocable trust, it works similarly to simply gifting assets away to another person. You would lose control of the assets. The trustee or trustees of your trust would have sole control. Placing assets in an irrevocable trust does have benefits over a direct gift to a person due to the creditor protection clauses contained in the irrevocable trust which most likely would shield the assets from the creditors and bill collectors of the beneficiary (until such time as the assets are transferred out of the trust directly into their individual name). Also, trusts allow for multiple trustees to have shared control which can create more protection for the assets.

How to Save the Family Farm?
One of the most popular assets to protect is the family farm. Most people do not wish to use a family farm to fund their retirement or long-term care and instead intend to leave it for future generations. The thought of transferring ownership to an Irrevocable Medicaid Asset Protection Trust does not bother most parents since they did not truly consider the farm as their personal asset anyway. The primary issue to keep in mind is that the owners of the farm need to have 5 years pass between the transfer of the farm and an application for nursing home Medicaid benefits. Planning ahead becomes more important in regard to an asset such as the family farm because of this reason.
Back to top
Crisis Planning:
When planning does not occur in advance, some parents still wish to do strategic gifting of their assets at the last minute to save as much as possible for their children. This can happen immediately prior to entering a nursing home or after having already entered the nursing home. Each family and every individual has a different set of goals, and there is no correct answer when formulating a nursing home plan. For those parents who have a primary goal of saving assets for their children, far more than they realize can be saved even at the last minute. However, in order to save assets, it usually becomes necessary to sell off and liquidate property and retirement savings.
Back to top
How to Spend Down Assets?
A valuable planning strategy after a person has already entered the nursing home is to spend down resources to purchase allowable items (known as exempt assets) before applying for vendor MO HealthNet (nursing home Medicaid) benefits. If a person has not yet purchased an irrevocable pre-need funeral/burial plan or irrevocably assigned a life insurance policy to a funeral/burial plan agreement, they can do so without penalty by following special Medicaid guidelines. The purchase of an automobile (or upgrade of current automobile) may be made. It is possible that a wheelchair accessible automobile would be necessary for transportation to and from medical appointments. If a healthy spouse will remain in the home, money may be used on home improvements and upgrades. Payment of debts is an additional way to spend down assets.
Back to top
For married couples, how can the assets be protected for the healthy spouse?
The assets of both the husband and the wife are counted for purposes of qualifying for vendor MO HealthNet (nursing home Medicaid). Therefore, placing assets in only one of their names will not shelter those assets. For married couples where one spouse is remaining in the home, only a certain amount of the assets may be kept by the healthy spouse. The remaining assets would have to be strategically spent down using qualified exceptions to the Medicaid rules. Sometimes this is accomplished by turning assets into income. An Elder Law attorney can usually assist a spouse in protecting nearly all of the assets in most circumstances.
Back to top
Protecting Assets for a Single Person
Nursing home planning for the single person consists of balancing gifting with the 5-year look-back period. It is not that a person is prohibited from gifting, but rather that the gifting creates a penalty period preventing immediate qualification for nursing home Medicaid (known as vendor MO HealthNet). By balancing the gifting away of some assets with converting other assets into an income stream, the nursing home can be paid for by a person’s own money while also waiting for a penalty period to expire. These are complicated techniques used by Elder Law attorneys, but strategies can usually be utilized at the last minute to save at least some portion of the assets.

Probate
In Missouri, after a person dies, the heirs have one year to open a probate estate if full probate is necessary. The biggest issue that arises is that Wills are not effective unless admitted to probate court within one year of the death of the owner of the property. Thus, if a timely probate was not filed, the property will pass to the true heirs at law, not to the parties named in the Will. Additionally, when a family member dies, each individual asset must be examined to determine whether it automatically passed to another person upon death or whether it must be probated. If these determinations become complex, it may be useful to hire an attorney practicing in the area of probate to assist in analyzing the ownership of the assets.
A probate estate can be filed with the court whether the deceased person had a Will or did not have a Will. If the deceased person had less than $40,000.00 in assets, a full probate estate usually is not required unless insurance proceeds or pending litigation is involved. Determining what must be filed will require an examination of all the assets, how they are owned/titled, and their value.
Once a probate estate is opened, the court will appoint a personal representative to act on behalf of the estate. There are two ways in Missouri that a probate estate can be administered:
1. Independent Administration
2. Court-Supervised Administration

What if the estate is worth less than $40,000.00?
What if the estate is worth MORE than $40,000.00 and probate was not properly opened within the one-year time limit from the date of death?
1. Independent Administration
Independent Administration does not require court supervision for the basic administration of the estate. Section 473.780 of the Revised Statutes of the State of Missouri allows for a probate of the estate to follow an independent administration when directed by the Will or when all heirs consent. By avoiding court orders for every action of the personal representative, an independent administration is usually much cheaper to administer than a court-supervised administration. However, the personal representative does take on more risk since they bear the legal responsibility and would not have court orders protecting each of their decisions and actions. The heirs also must place more trust in the personal representative since the court will not be overseeing all actions taken on behalf of the estate.
Back to top
2. Court-Supervised Administration
A court-supervised administration requires that the court enter an order authorizing the personal representative to perform most needed actions in administering the estate. This can be cumbersome since to sell any property, utilize estate monies to maintain property, pay bills, or make any decisions about the assets requires that the personal representative petition the court and then gain a court order allowing them to proceed. It often costs more in attorneys’ fees for the estate in a court-supervised administration because it requires more documents to be filed with the probate court. However, the personal representative usually has the protection of a court order if an heir later complains about an action they have taken, and heirs have the satisfaction that the court is involved in the actions of the personal representative.
Back to top
What to Do When a Family Member Dies
It is best after a family member dies to gather information concerning all of the person’s assets and debts, locate their estate planning documents, and make an appointment to have a consultation with an attorney. You may not need to pay the deceased person’s debts or at a minimum can wait to pay them until a later date. A probate estate or other probate filing may need to be done right away or it may be best to wait due to a creditor situation. These determinations are best to be made by an attorney after reviewing everything. Paying a bill that did not need to be paid or spending money that was not supposed to be spent can often be avoided by seeking legal advice before taking action.
Back to top
What if the estate is worth less than $40,000.00?
When there are less than $40,000.00 of assets to probate, a Small Estate can be filed with the Probate Court. Any heir can take on the responsibility of asserting that all outstanding debts have been paid and then declaring who is legally entitled to the property. The process of filing a Small Estate is swift and relatively inexpensive. Also, unlike a full probate estate, a Small Estate can be filed after the one-year time limit from the date of death. If a spouse or minor children have survived the deceased, they can file a Refusal of Letters with the court. It is essentially a document stating that the estate is small and the spouse or minor children would be entitled to all of the assets and it should be automatically given solely to them without opening up a probate estate.
Back to top
What if the estate is worth MORE than $40,000.00 and probate was not properly opened within the one-year time limit from the date of death?
If no estate is opened prior to the one-year time limit, a suit can be brought for a Determination of Heirs, or if the only asset is real estate an Affidavit of Heirs can be recorded. A Determination of Heirs is obtained by petitioning the probate court for an order setting forth who is entitled to the property. If there was a Will, it will not be followed since to be effective it had to be admitted to probate prior to the one-year time frame. The court will follow Missouri law to determine the names of the heirs and their ownership percentages. Only in regard to real estate can the probate suit be avoided; with real estate, an Affidavit of Heirs can be recorded with the recorder of deed’s office in the county where the property is located stating the names of the heirs of the property based on Missouri law.

When someone winks at you what does that mean?
lol, i think that would scare me too,
it depends on if you know this person or not,
its normally an expression to say you look nice,
so wink wink , lol
When someone winks at you what does that mean?
Maybe the old man is just try to adjust his vision, old people can't see very near- they are far sighted. But if they do it at a distance and you can still see the wink - then you better stop giving wrong signals - cos you're starting at them also!!
Reply:I think it's an inclusion thing - you wink to let someone in on the joke you're about to play out, you wink to reassure someone, you wink if you like someone.
As for the old guys...does this often happen..?
Reply:I think it can mean one of two things- either the person is flirting or that they really like you, but not necessarily in a romantic way.
Reply:It means they're creepy.
Unless they're old. Then they're just being cute.
Reply:Depends on the wink. Sometimes it's a your cute thing, then there's the I want you thing~!
Reply:it can be a flirt,or just saying he thinks your cute and sexy looking,a friendly jester,letting you know he noticed you..
Reply:It could mean a million thing with one beig that he thinks your cute. Why not ask him if you really want to know.
Reply:nothing
Reply:They are teasing you or they have a twitch in their eye.
Reply:"hey, how's it goin'?"
Reply:That maybe they have something in their eye.
Reply:1. Somethings in their eye
2. they like you

Speech development is a multi-pronged process. It might start with brainstorming all of the different points that relate to your speech topic. From there, it should grow into the first outline - what I like to call a working outline (See page 113 in your A Pocket Guide to Speaking text for their sample of a working outline.)
What is your working outline?
It's your most involved organization of your speech, where you'll flesh out your major points one by one, writing them as full sentences or phrases. Then, under each major point, you'll give your examples - two or three even.
In the Pocket Guide, the sample working outline even lists the transitions the speaker will use. That's okay to include - if it will help you.
What role will the working outline play in this class?
It is key to your success for each speech. If you cannot truly lay out your speech in an organized fashion and depict your major points and minor points, it will make it difficult for you to deliver a well-organized, coherent speech. The outline will act as your initial map for the speech.
It is your practice document, and also a document you'll need to hand in before giving each presentation.
Here is a sample working outline, crafted from one a student used in class in the fall semester:
Speech title: Music is important in my life.
I. Introduction
A: Anecdote: Story of me as a baby with my father.. "Once upon a time in a church there was a man playing a guitar...." [Note from Professor: This student did not write out his entire intro., but gave enough of an idea of how he would start it. He showed his hook here. It would be an anecdote about his early exposure to music.]
B: Thesis: From playing to listening to even composing, music has been an important and influential part of my life. [It's simple, and that's fine. He clearly knows the purpose of the speech.]
II. Body
A. The ups and downs of my experiences with musical instruments
1. Will talk about my first instrument.
2. Quitting an instrument
3. Finding my niche with the drums & keyboard
B. How listening to certain types of music influences or complements my moods [Note from professor: His points have a thematic feel. That keeps his speech going.]
1. Examples of different genres that influence or complement my mood
a. Competitive mood - heavy metal
b. Romantic - old school R&B
c. Motivated and inspired - the New School Wonders, Lupe, Wale, and J.Cole
2. Explain when I am mad and music's role
C. How recording and composing music has influenced my life.
1. How it became a new hobby
2. What it does for me
3. Explain challenges
III. Conclusion
A: Playing to listening to even composing, music has been an important and influential part of my life. [Note: He's simply making sure he will re-emphasize the main point of his speech at the end - a good technique.]
B. Kicker: What is life without music? The answer is no life at all.
[Additional notes from the professor: This is a simple working outline that the student also used on speech day. It worked for him because it had a flow to it. Again, review the working outline in the Pocket Speaking Guide for a much more involved way to do it. The key lesson here: He is making different points in each section.]
OK, but what is a speech delivery outline?
Think of it as your talking points - which in the old days many speakers put on a set of three index cards at most. Nowadays, computers make it easy to use big font and organize talking points on one sheet of paper.
In your textbook: Again, the Pocket Speaking Guide offers the best examples. Read page 119-121. (It's far too long a delivery outline for our purposes, but it gets across the idea because you can compare that to the student's working outline.)
How to do it? Here's a sample speaking outline - based on the same speech above.
MUSIC IS IMPORTANT IN MY LIFE
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Anecdote about father and me as baby.
B. important, influential part of life [thesis]
II. BODY
A. Playing instruments
TRANSITION No matter my mood, music ....
B. Music and my moods
- competitive - heavy metal... etc.
TRANSITION: I'm not just an instrumentalist, I'm a composer...
C. Recording and composing
... TRANSITION: That baby drawn to his father's side because of music is still a part of me...
III. CONCLUSION
A. Repeat thesis.
B. What is life without music?
[Notes from professor: The idea here is to take your working outline and whittle it down to its essence. Create cues that work for you. Use it to free yourself up from paper as much as possible on presentation day. Remember, your first presentation calls for you to speak from the heart. But no matter the topic of your speech, you want to sound like you - the most natural conversational you that you can - not a piece of paper.]
Misc: Planning to use a visual aid, show where you intend to do that in your speaking/delivery outline. Realize you need to pause for effect somewhere. OK to write PAUSE as a cue. There are a lot of ways you can use your speaking outline.

What Are the Factors of 42?
The factors of 42 are 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 14, 21, 42.
The way to calculate the factors of 42 is as follows. First, every number is divisible by itself and 1.
Try 1. 1 x 42 = 42, so put these into our factor list.
1
...
42
Take 2. 2 x 21 = 42, which means we add these to our factor list.

Now take 3. 3 x 14 = 42, so now we put these in our list of factors.
1

42
Next try 4... no luck. 42/4 isn't a whole number. So we skip 4.
Now try 5... nope! 42/5 isn't a whole number. So we skip 5.
Try 6. 6 x 7 = 42, which means we add these to our factor list.

Part 1)
1. The Italian Renaissance with was a time period that extended from 1050 to 1300. It experienced huge commercial and financial development. Italy had self governing cities, and great population expansion. Then Thirteen century through sixteen century was a incredible efflorescence of artistic energies called the Renaissance to show the cultural achievements.
2. The Renaissance was a time period after the middle ages. The Renaissance also manifested itself in a new attitude toward men, and women, and the world- attitude that describes individualism.

PART 1:
1) The Renaissance witnessed growing political power, financial developments, and huge population expansion. The great commercial helped providing the setting. Increase of trade help make more money causing trade to become popular in the specific area. Shipbuilding increased as well and helped make trade faster and easier. Scholars also say the first artistic and literary manifestations happened in Italy as well. Italy's loction also helped bring in money because the were in the middle of all the trade causing more materials and items to profit off of and to gain into society.
2) The key ideas of the Renaissance was individualism, humanism, and secular spirt. Individualism played a important role. People began to stand out into society causing different ideas and creations. Cities of Italy began to practice humanism. Civic leaders and wealthy especially showed great interest in this. Humanism was studied the classics differently. they focased more on human nature rather than revolving around the church. Secular spirt was basicly the concern more on the material things rather than spirtual things. Many were affected by these new beliefs. The northern areas didnt become very affected as much as the southern areas.
3) Early on art was created aroung god and beliefs. Later down the road, however, wealthy families, popes, bankers, and merchants had art to symbolize there riches and spot in society. During the Middle ages money was spent on war and hiring knights. As time went on though money was beging to be spent on material items or anything that knew would show everybody they had riches. They also began to spend money on arts to show their power. Artist began to think about differnt techniques to inhance there art. They improved their lighting, there meaning, and their dynamics in the paints or the statue.
4)The social hierarchies were divided between gender, culture, race, and wealth. The new invention of printing caused the social life to switch. During this time you saw africans play a role in society too. Women began to experiance things as well. Women who belonged to the upper classstatuses declined. They no longer had access. They were just as the rest of society's girls. Ladies learned there words and letters. They still tended to their husbands. Renassiance people did not frame their understanding of sexuality n this basis. Homosecuality was coined only in 1892. Blacks were slaves in the roman republic. Beginning in the fifteenth century though more were shipped over and sold as slaves. They were highly prized and were gratly needed. They were assigned jobs that others wouldnt want to do or just simply because they aciqured to have one.
5) The nation stated evolved in this period in many ways. Societys began to repair themselves and began to reach other levels of improvement. They began to creativly think and used it to their advantage. They also found other ways of profiting money after the many wars and the diseases that had spread through out their homelands. They improved living and in some aspects improved there social statuses.

Part 1
1.)What improved the economic and political develpoments in Italy during the Renaissance was its location. Because Italy is surounded by water it made the perfect location for trade. The more trade the italian cities had the more money was produced the better the economy got, which led to a massive growth in Italys poltical power.
2.) There were three key main ideas for the Renaissance; Humanism, Individulaism, and Secularism. Humanism sparked an intrest in cultural advances by having ideas inspired by earlier socities such as the greeks and romans. Individulaimspread through out giving the idea to express yor personality, espically artists. Secularism had people taking moreof an intrest in material items. for Men of a higher social class grew more powerfuland richer because of these key ideas, while lower classes such as peasnts were not affected. As for women there social staus seemed to have lowered even more once the Renaissance began and continued on. Northern euorpeans advanced during the renaisance through more jobs and art, while southern euorpeans boughtt slaves and continued to thrive through trade.
3.) Art during the renaissance showed signs of wealth and power. Art leaned away from a religious purpose and more towards a way for people to show off their wealth. Upper classes paid high prices for paintings, suclptures, etc,which led artists to become higher in power and wealth. Even popes had artwork done through out the churches. Individulaim played a huge role in renaissance art, because it allowed people to create and experiment their new ideas.
4.) In Euorpe during the Renaissance the primary social hiearchies wre artistocracy, the popolo, and the lower classes. Artistocracts were the highest of society and were rich and well educated, the popolo were the middle class and they were also educated and had good jobs,the lowwer class were unducated people who stuggled to make a living. Hierarchy shaped peoples lives because once you were born into a class you usallystayed in that class.
5.)Nation-states grew both politically and soically during the renaissance. They became more socially throough trade. They becam more politically advanced by beginnig to control trade.

PART 1:
1.)Economic growth was the base of the Italian Renaissance. Political power of self-governing cities, and population expansion were also a big help in the phenomenal commercial and financial development in which lasted from 1050 to 1300. Though, it wasn’t until the thirteenth to the late sixteenth century that anything was shown of it, this period is described by scholars as the Renaissance.
2.)The main ideas of the Renaissance focused on humanism, individualism, and secularism. These ideas were different for men and women, because at the time, women still weren’t seen as equals to men. Therefore, these ideas were different for men. As for the differences between northern and southern Europe, in southern Europe, secularism was more emphasized. Where as to in northern Europe, they were more religious thinking reform was brought through Christian living. Northern Europe also focused on higher learning, while southern Europe focused more on art.
3.)Changes in art shaped and reflected new ideas because, once people learned how to draw better, using things such as perspective, and geometric figures, their art was more realistic and valuable. The better an artist could make something, the higher the status. It also gave them more ideas in order to be sponsored by the rich. Both parties benefitted from the art.
4.)During the Renaissance in Europe, the primary social hierarchies were the aristocracy, the popolo, and the lower classes. Ideas about this shaped some peoples’ lives because if you were born into a class, that’s usually the class you stayed in. People couldn’t do anything to get out of it because other people saw them as the social class they already are.
5.) Western States of Europe during this period changed socially, and politically. They advanced through trade. They also learned how to control trade and it made them more politically advanced. Western Europe benefitted from trade.
PART 2:
1.) How long did the base of the Renaissance last?
2.) Why were Individualism, Humanism, and Secularism so important? How were they different in different places?
3.) What gave an artist more status?
4. What impacted social change?
5.) What was the focus of the Renaissance in th North?
6.) How did politics change in 1450-1521? Did it have a good or bad effect on peoples' lives?

Part 1
1. Economic growth was the base of the Italian Renaissace. A major increase in commercial and financial development, growing political powerof self-governing cities, and graet population expansion all happened in 1050 to 1300 which was the begining of the Renaisance. Trade increased after advancements in ships allowed materials to be transported all year long and Italy was the center of trade.
2. Individualism, humanism, and secular spirit were all key ideas of the Renaissance. Individualism allowed people to have distinctive personalities and for people to be unique which graetly influenced society. Humanism was the belief that everybody should be educated and open to new ideas. Secularism focused on life after death. men were affected more positivley than women because of sexism.
3. In the early Renaissance,art manifested corporate power. Powerful groups like guilds and religous confraternities comissioned works of art. So works of art were usually religous or representative of something. Art represneted wealth because rich families could offord to have huge paintings and sculptures made. Art in the Renaissance was a big deal.
4. Hiearchies were divide a lot in the Renaissance. The status of upper class women during the Renaissance declined. In the 15th century a large number of slaves began to enter Europe. Black servants in Europe were highly wanted because of their rarity. white men benifited the most from the Renaissance because of sexism and racism.
5. France strengthened their monarchy during the Renaissance time period. After the Hundred Years' War France was depopulated, commercialy ruined, and agriculturaly weak.

Part 1:
1. Italian city states such as Venice grew rich through overseas trade and Florence also possessed enormous wealth. They made advances in building their ships and Genoa and Milan earned benefits of trade with the Middle East and northerm Europe. They had great geographical positions as natural crossroads for trade. New ideas and cultures were brought from trade which provided the setting for the Renaissance.
2. The key ideas of the Renaissance were individualism, humanism, and secularism. They were different for men and for women because women were treated as unequals to men at the time. Secularism was stressed more in southern Europe and northern Europe was focused more on religion.
3. Changes in art reflected and shaped new ideas during the Renaissance. Art revealed power and changing patterns of consumption and paintings displayed wealth. Portraits now mirrored reality instead of a spiritual idea. Realism, narrative power, the use of light and dark, rich color, decorative detail, curvilinear rhthyms, swaying forms, and the use of perspective in paintings was developed.
4. The primary social hierachies in Renaissance Europe were made up of the low class, the middle class, which is also referred to as the popolo, and the upper class. This shaped people's lives because you did not get to choose what class you belonged to. Whatever class you were born into was based on the class your family was in. There was usually no way of changing it and a lower class person cannot change its rank to a higher rank. The upper class families were the rich and wealthy ones.
5. The nation states evolved in this period by having a strong monarchy, reducing violence, and establishing order. The rulers emphasized majesty and sovereignty and insisted on respect and loyalty of all subjects. They reached a new way of thinking and the medieval rulers had built armies to crush feudal anarchy with tax revenues.

5. (Dorothy) Gargantua and Pantagruel can be read as a comic romance about the adventures of Gargantua and his son, Pantagruel; as a spoof on contemporay French society; as a program for educational reform; or as an illustration of Rabelais's prodigious learning.
6. (Dania) The aristocracy dominated the government of Henry IV.

Part 1
1. Italy had a huge help to start the Renaissance because of its location. Location helped Italy trade more and therefore much more wealthier. Politically Italy started forming city states governed by ruling familes, signori, or oligarchies. As more money came more rich familes began funding for arts like sculptures about the family to glorify themselves.
2. The three main ideas that shaped the Renaissance were humanism, secularism, and individualism. Humanism studied the classics more than anything else. Secularism studied real material rather then just going with what the church said. This idea changed the thoughts of many people. Individualism was the main reason the Renaissance was alive. Individualism made people with new ideas and skill stand out.
3.Art meant many different things as time went on. In the middle ages art was about god and beliefs. In the Renaissance however, art symbloized many things. As art started changing the wealthy began have scluptures made for them. The more money the family had the better statue they got and gained more staus in society.
4. The primary hierarchies were aristocracy at the top, popolo in the middle, and the lower class at the bottom. Aristocracy were wealthy, well educated, and had good jobs. The Italian popolo were well educated and had good jobs. This class had no power. The low class was poor, barely had good pay, and struggled to make a living. Once you were born into a class you usally stayed there.
5. Western Europe began to advance a lot speaking in both poilically and socially. They learned how to take control of trade which made them much more advanced politically speaking than before. since their location made them huge in trade they became much more socially advance than they used to be.
Part 2
1. How did Italy's location help the Renaissance?
2. why would people stress humanism, secualarism, and individualism?
3. Why would an artist go up in staus?
4. How was the renissance in the north?
5. How did politics form the states?

3. Kimberly. Humanist studied the latin classics.
4. Gloria. Johan Gutenberg invented the clock.

Part 1
1.) Economic growth laid the material basis for the italian Renaissance. The period extending roughly from 1050 to 1300 witnessed phenomenol commercial and financial devolopment, the growing political power of self governing cities, and great population power of self governing cities and great population expansion. Then the period from the late thirteenth century to the late sixteenth century was characterized by an incredible efflorescence of artistic energies.
2.) Individualism, Humanism, and Secularism were the main ideas of the renaissance. These ideas were different for both men and women because at this time women werent treated equally as men. In Northern Europe they thought reform was brought to them through Christianity. Northern europe was also focused on higher learning, and southern europe was more focused on art. In southern europe secularism was more emphasized.
3.)In the early Renaissance,art manifested corporate power. Powerful groups like guilds and religous confraternities comissioned works of art. So works of art were usually religous or representative of something. Art represneted wealth because rich families could offord to have huge paintings and sculptures made. Art in the Renaissance was a big deal.
3.) In the renaissance art manifested corporate power. Works of art were usaully religous or represented something. Art represented wealth, because rich families were the only ones able to afford or have huge paintings. Art was a big part of the renaissance, and groups like religious confraternities commissioned works of art. People learned to draw better and their art became more realistic and valuable.
4.) The primary social hierachies were the aristocracy, the popolo, and the lower classes. Social classes are economic or cultural arrangements of groups in society. Various social and political theories propose that social classes with greater power attempt to cement their own ranking above the lower classes in the hierarchy to the detriment of the society overall.
5.) Nation-States grew politically and socially. Western Europe benefitted from trade, the trade became more advanced and they learned how to control it. Nation states hired sheriffs, inquests, juries, circuit judges, professional bureaucrucies and representative assemblies.

It was intended to maintain Catholic orthodoxy in their kingdoms, and to replace the Medieval Inquisition which was under Papal control. The Inquisition was originally intended in large part to ensure the orthodoxy of those who converted from Judaism and Islam
3.) (Rachel) an ideal and perfect place or state where everyone lives in harmony and everything is for the best.
4.) (Karla) the North tended to focus more on the individual, and this inclination towards the rights of individuals related in a different way with Humanism than the South where humanism was often seen as putting the individual in context to the community as opposed to the North that would tend to set the individual in contrast to the community.

Part I
1) The economic growth and the financial development grew throughout the Renaissance along with the political power of self-governing cities. The location of Italy was a great factor of the economic and political developments. It was surrounded by water which made it an ideal place for trade. The merchants began to make a lot of money from trading, so some wealthy merchant families would invest some of their money from trade into to banks. Which they would make profits from loans, investments, and money exchanges of the people in Italy.
2) There were three key ideas that were described to be very important of the Renaissance. These ideas were humanism, individualism, and secularism. Humanism was the study of humans and their talents or what they were capable of. Individualism focused more on individual’s personalities and uniqueness, along with their intelligence and capabilities. Secularism was concerned the material world rather that the spiritual word. None of these ideas affected woman as they did man.
3)Art was the most admired feature of the Renaissance. In the Middle ages art was just to teach religion, but towards the Renaissance the art began to be made not just for learning. Many rich people would sponsor artists to raise their “status” and have sculptures and paintings made of them and, or, their families.
4)People could not choose what life they were born into, there were three main hierarchies in Europe, the aristocracy, the popolo, and the lower classes. Many people were labeled by things like their race culture, gender, race, and the amount of money they had. Whatever “class” you were in you had to live like the rest of the class, and from one of the lower classes people would have to work hard to move up.
5)Art was the most admired feature of the Renaissance. In the Middle ages art was just to teach religion, but towards the Renaissance the art began to be made not just for learning. Many rich people would sponsor artists to raise their “status” and have sculptures and paintings made of them and, or, their families.
Part II
1) Why did merchants invest in papal banking?
2) Why did they call the Renaissance a “rebirth”?
3) What feature of the Renaissance evoked the most admiration?
4) What was the era’s most stunning technological invention?
5) What did northern humanists stress the use of?
6) What dictators and oligarchs were described as being tough, cynical, and calculating rulers?
Part III
1) (Rachel Geist) Florence’s best industry was the wool industry.
2) (Richard Soliz) Pope Nicholas V. planned the Vatican library.
3) (Karla Garcia) If the artist got more sponsors and how good the artists artwork was.
4) (Jessyka Santillano) The Renaissance culture witnessed a shift in the status of women, and the number of Africans also affected social life.
5) (Caleb Lorenzana) A Dutch humanist who had a long list of publications including The Adages and The Education of a Christian Prince.
6) (Rudy Munoz) In France, England, and Spain the governments had to be rebuilt

PART 1:
1) During 1050 to 1300, the city-states located where modern Italy is, witnesed financial as well as commercial development, self-governing cities, more political power,and the expansion of population. The cities' geographical location was a great benefit because they served as natural crossroads for trade between the East and the West. Some made even more money when they allowed their ships to sail all year long.
2) Individualism, humanism and secularism are the three main key ideas of the time of The Renaissance. Individualism emphasized on the idea that one can fully develop their capabilites and talents. It stressed personality, uniqueness and genius as well. It was the opposite of everyone being like each other. Humanism means "new learning", people had a profound interest in Latin classics. The word humanism derived from the latin word "humanitas" which was used to say that a person was educated and civilized. Secularism was the idea of moving toward a more material concern rather than a spiritual or religious one. Men were more afected by this than women because they were't yet conciderd equal. Southern Europe emphazied this idea of secularism more than the North.
3) During the middle ages, art was more focused on religious meaning and was not as realistic nor valuable. As time progresed, art became more realistic thanks to perspective, realism, light and shadowing, and geometrical shapes. The more art progresed, the more realistic it was. And the more realistic, the more value it had. The wealthy people commissioned artist to do art works that usually all of the time, glorified them.
4) Social hierarchies were didvided in culture, wealth, gender and race. The invention of printing caused life to change. It transformed private and public life. The invention of the mechanical clock played a more important role for city people rather than just everyone. Some girls recieved somewhat the same education of boys, but women usually had less power then more upper class women. Slaves enterded Europe in the beginning of the 15th century.
5)The western nation-states evolved during The Renaissance. They began to repair themselves and also have some form in improvement related to the Italian Renaissance. They tried to use what they had to prosper themselves. They found ways to make money and regain what was lost during the many wars and diseases that struck them. In the end, they also improved their way of life, and the way they saw things.
PART 2:
1) In what year did King Charles VIII invade Italy?
2) Who was Leon Battista Alberti?
3) Classical balance, harmony and restraint were revealed in the masterpieces of who?
4) Why did black men represent evil, sin and the devil in art?
5) What did Utopians use gold and silver for?
6) Who established domestic tranquility?
PART 3:
1) (Aaron Alex Jaime) The Reanaissance started about 1050.
2) (Jessyka Santillano) Individulity stressed personality, genius, uniquness as well as full development of one's capabilities/talents. Artists were recognized.
3) (Karla Garcia) Artists got more status by painting noble familes.
4) (Rachel Geist) The 3 men who made the moveable type were Johann Gutenberg, Johann Fust and Peter Schoffer.
5) (Richard Soliz) A political stance cost Thomas More his life.
6) (Abigail King) England financed The Hundred Years War.

PART I:
1. Trade expansion caused a sharp increase in merchants profit which imroved Italy's economy dramatically. Popluation increase also provided a setting for the renaissance to thrive in Italy. Advances in ship building also improved the trade industry in Italy. The development of independent city-states also gained Italy it's own political power.
2. The key ideas of the renaissance were individualism, humanism, and secularism, which was what mainly seperated it from the middle ages. Men of higher class thrived tremendously throughout the renaissance. However, the renaissance seemed to have no effect on the lower classes. Women's rights and freedom actually seemed worse than before the renaissance occured. Northern europe was less effected by the ideas that the renaissance introduced. They weren't as interested in secularism, humanism, or individualism as much as southern europe was.
3. The renaissance brought the new ideas of art to europe and it spread throughout the city-states. Art became more common within cities and it brought new ideas like perspective and shadowing, which made the art more realistic. It also became a symbol for high status and wealth. The high classed people hired artists to paint, sculpt, or build them something that can resemble either themselves or some sort of religious scene.
4. The primary social hierarchies in renaissance europe were the high, middle, and lower classes. The higher classes were made up of mostly the ruling families within each city-state. The middle class was recently made up of artists and merchants. The lower classes were mostly peasants and other ordinary people. The ideas about hierachy shaped peoples lives by seperating the population socially from eachother. The higher and middle classes interacted much more with eachother than just the lower class.
5. The nation-states within europe evolved throughout this period in two major ways. The trading industry throughout all of europe improved tremendously with many advancements such as ship building. Art also became extremely popular thorughout europe and evolved so that it became more realistic. The improvements were so dramatic that the citys' architecture began to show art throughout.
PART II:
1. Where did scholars think the first artistic and literary manifestations appear?
2. Why did renaissance humanists study the classics?
3. Why did so many people want to sponsor artists and their work?
4. According to Machiavelli, what is the sole test of a "good" government?
5. Who believed education was indeed the key to a moral and healthy life?
6. Which country had no standong army or professional civil service bureaucracy?
AbelCaro said Aug 25, 2011 03:50:37
Part 1
1. In italy between the eleventh and fourteenth century a great financial and economical point was reached. Just the location of italy, along with mercahnt ship improvments, and italys incredible wool industry like in florence allowed brought in a lot of money which was reinvested to make more. Also banking was great in Italy. Main cities had banking control over other cities and florence even had the papal banking. The merchant and communes seerated them self from nobles and nobles in order to make money from the rising merchants created the urban nobility. the popolo,middle class, tried to take over and make a republic governmant but it failed creating to forms of governmant in city state. the signori,despots of official, and origarchiernmantss,one person or family ruling. These governmenys rulers showed class and patronage through artists,writers and such. this promoted the rennisance.
2. The key ideas of the rennisance were individualsim,humanism, and secularism. Indivdualism encuorages the self awareness,genius, and focus on ones personality. it encouraged of the realization of ones ability to its full potential. Humanism was basiclly the relearning of the human nature through greco roman classics. Humanists focused on humans capabilities, achievemants, capabilities. Humanists believed man could accomplish anything which was critical back then. Last was secularism. Although man were strickly religious at one point man being to focus on the material things. the reason was that people didn't focus on pleasures for believing they could achieving it. As men moved away and made more money they asked why they could't enjoy them sleves on earth so went to materialism with art, liesure, and more. Men if upper class were affected and encouraged to follow this but women were still looked as domestic. Southern europe was more influenced for Northern Europe didn't experience much change and didn't have the location to begin one like italy. So they remained mideval.
3.Art in the rennisance seemed to change in the meaning. Although art was still religious the art began to lead away from it. Wealthy merchants and princes began to make art of them to represent status and wealth. the also commissioned at and sculptors of non religious objects lke david or venus. the also had private chapels with commisioned art. With new means of art artists began to discover new ways to produce realism, selfawareness, and balance. Perspective, light colors, dark colors, and the detail in the human body. this opposes medieval stiffness and artificial manner.
4. In the rennisance the social hierarchy was placed as prices of citystate, merchant guilds, urban nobles,popolos,women,and african americans. The top three classes were the most infuenced and encouraged by the rennisances teachings. Popolos or the middle class were not affected at all and lived like in the middle ages. Women were negatively affected by the rennisance. Although upper class woman were able to be educated, they still ere said to be only as domestic wives. They were restricted sex and were rape on them was lighty punished. Africans were only sought for as a sign of wealth and status to the upper class.
5. The Western society began to change in various ways. They began to reform their socity tryin to rid of the distrusted nobles. Taxes allowed restablishment after war and disease. Allianced remodeling,aristcracy, and new industry helps change towards the rennisance. Some countries began to add roman laws ro promote domestic tranquility. In the end rennisance ideas were more applied and led to nation states.
Part 2
1.What were three economic factors o the rennisance?
2.Name a supporter for each idea of the rennisance?
3.What were two thing some powerful families did to show status and wealth?
4.What was the meaning of owning and african american slave?

6.Unlike england and france leading to a foundation of nation states what did spain do?
part 3
1 (jacob) the wool industry helped the rise of commerece in italy.
2 (Celia)secularism is the centralization in materialistic things on earth rather than the spoils promised in heaven.
3 (magi)although they were disgraced if they showed them selfs naked they were only rendering honor to the classics which were mostly pictured naked in the past.
4 (jenifer) utopia means nowhere.
5 (Gloria) believe that education will help improve society and the empahassizes of christiany by the bible were expressed in erasmus works.
6 (tyler) england suffered from the ravages of wars especially the war of roses. Once the war was done reconstruction followed

PART 1
1: Some economic developments that provided the setting for the renaissance were the merchants. They grew rich because of over seas trade. Italy also profited from the diversion of the Forth crusade. Milan and Genoa also benifited from the trade in the middle east. Some political developments that provided the setting for the Renaissance were the balance of power between the Italian city-states. Also Venice took its place as an international power.
2: The key ideas of the Renaissance were Individualism, Humanism, and Secularism. Individualism the beleif of the seperationof man from the church. Humanism is the beleif in mankind that people is all there is. While, Secularism is the belief in materialism that people need to enjoy themselves now and not look forward to an after life of some sort. Men were affected possitively and got more rights. While women were negitively affected and ended up with less rights.
3: The changes in art both reflected and shaped new ideas during the renaissance. Art in the time of the renaissance greatly included the themes of Humanism, and Individualism. The artists left the origin of religious arts and started to put emphisison the wonders and sahpe of the human body. Also the fact that these arts influenced the minds and hearts of there veiwers.
4: The primary social hiearchies in Europe were rich white males. Rich white males got all the freedom in the world during the Renaissance. However the same can not be said about women and African people. Women were so badly treated and there rights went down so much that they were actually better off with out the Renaissance. African people were usually slaves and were sort of seen as detestable to the white people.
5: During the Renaissance the nation-states of western Europe evolved. They evolved by gaining a new way of thinking. In France, Charels changed the taxes and made the first royal army. In England, Yorkist Edward started to establish tranquilty through out England by destroying the Lancastrian forces and began to construct the country's monarchy.

How To Become A Marijuana Vendor, Los Angeles
Ok, good news and bad news….Good news is that anyone with a marijuana recommendation may start a member based non-profit marijuana collective ….Bad news, is that “ vendors ” come from the for-profit business world. Good news, is that you cultivate marijuana for patients use, and you may contribute your cultivated marijuana to the collective you’re a member of and get a reimbursement for all out of pocket expenses….Bad news, you cannot be a vendor and “sell” marijuana to collectives. Why??? Ok, lets look up the definition of the word “Vendor”:
ven·dor/ˈvendər/
Noun:
1. A person or company offering something for sale, esp. a trader in the street: “an Italian ice cream vendor”.
Synonyms:
seller – salesman – vender – salesclerk – shop assistant
Ok, since marijuana sales are illegal under state and federal law and marijuana collectives are supposed to be non-profit…what is it that people are exactly vending?? Marijuana?? Isn’t that illegal??
It sure is. So, the next time you hear about some one coming to your collective acting as vendor be very very careful of that person, they might be trying to get you to admit guilt of selling marijuana.
So, what’s the proper term to use?? Come to 420 College and learn how not to be called a vendor.

Canadian Weed Producers Will Dominate the Global Marijuana Market
Submitted by Marijuana News on Tue, 05/16/2017 - 08:30
“First-mover advantage.” Why Canadian weed producers will dominate the global marijuana market.
In marketing strategy, there’s a term called “first-mover advantage”. It’s when a few key players in a particular industry gain an advantage because they entered into the marketplace first. These companies are able to establish strong brand recognition, shore up the best sources of funding, and build a loyal customer base simply because there aren’t any competitors in the way during their first few years of operation.
When it comes to the market for exporting weed, big Canadian LPs have clearly established a first-mover advantage. There are currently 29 countries that recognize some form of medical cannabis, but only two of those countries — Canada and The Netherlands — export weed for medical use. In fact, the medical marijuana export market is dominated by just four Canadian weed producers: Cronos Group, Canopy Growth Corporation, Aphria, and Tilray.

What is a marijuana vape cart, or cartridge?
Let’s face it — smoking is out. Even the New York Times ’ Farhad Manjoo has gotten hip to it.
Many aficionados are moving beyond raw, unprocessed cannabis flower buds and to manufactured products. And the fastest growing category?
The marijuana vape cart — a technical term for a pre-filled container of cannabis oil used with a marijuana e-cigarette. So how does it work, and is it right for you?
What is a marijuana vape cart?
Vape carts or cartridges are small attachments to a marijuana e-cigarette or vape pen. They are sold pre-filled with cannabis concentrates which are rich in cannabis’ medicinal active ingredients. Most vape carts are high in THC (the mood-lifting ingredient in cannabis), but some contain cannabidiol (CBD, a non-psychoactive cannabinoid), or terpenes (the chemicals that give cannabis it’s flavorful tastes and aromas).
How do marijuana vape carts work?
Marijuana vape carts fit together with a marijuana e-cigarette base. As with tobacco e-cigarettes, the battery (usually activated by the push of a button) powers an atomizer, which heats the cannabis oil at low temperatures and turns it into a cool, inhalable mist. The THC enters the blood via the lungs and then enters the brain where it causes its most powerful effects.
Why are people using marijuana vape carts? Who do they benefit?
Vape carts are discrete, easy to use and work super-fast. It’s hard to overdo it with a vape cart, and some even come in titrated doses. There is no smoke, since the oil is heated only enough to vaporize it. And there is relatively little odor.
These factors make them popular with people who can’t or don’t want to smoke.
Marijuana vape carts can potentially help manage issues such as pain, muscle spasms, inflammation and mood. Last year the National Academies of Sciences reported that there is evidence that THC can effectively reduce symptoms such as pain, inflammation, spasticity and anxiety.
What are the drawbacks?
The science is still not in on long-term effects of inhaling the oils or additives that go into the carts (not to mention the materials the cartridge itself is made from). Vape carts are not as long-lasting as edibles, so may not be ideal for some patients. When compared to flower, they may lose some important terpenes in the manufacturing process. Vape carts can also be expensive when compared to other cannabis concentrates, and they require some knowledge of how to attach the cart to the battery base and turn on.
What do marijuana vape carts cost?
Vape carts tend to cost around $50 for a half-gram, and these carts will last you hundreds of hits. Still, prices can vary brand to brand, and even dispensary to dispensary, so the best way to price out vape carts is to check with the dispensaries near you.
Where do you buy cannabis vape carts?
You can purchase vape carts from a local dispensary. If you are in a recreational cannabis state like California, Colorado or Washington, just check out websites like weedmaps.com and leafly.com to find dispensaries nearby. If you are in a state with only medical cannabis, be sure to get a doctor’s recommendation first.
What are some popular cannabis vape cart brands?
There many options when it comes to vape carts. In California, try popular brands like Hmbldt, AbsoluteXtracts and Kurvana. In Colorado O.pen Vape, Keef OilSlix and Craft are favorites. In Washington, check out brands like IndigoPro, Fairwinds and Harmony Farms. Check out the best vape cart-makers in California featured in the GreenState Cannabis Awards. | msmarco_doc_00_25573806 |

The cannabis cola is the place a flower develops on female marijuana plants. It’s the bloom cluster which is also known as the bud. It rises like a tower from the center or top of the branches and may be comprised of smaller clusters of flowers sometimes called popcorn buds.
Colas reach upward toward the sun helping the plant gather vital sunlight to grow.
While you can smoke some other parts of the marijuana plant, colas end up in the head stash. These dense floral formations bring top dollar from consumers. They’re also starkly beautiful in an almost alien way.
What Is Cola Dominance
Cannabis plants naturally form a dominant cola which makes optimizes the resources the plant takes in. These dominant colas are large and in charge. Naturally, growers sought techniques over time to train cannabis plants to produce more than one cola.
Those lucky enough to inspire their plants to produce several colas increase their profit margin substantially. They also get mad bragging rights and most of the floor space on Instagram.
Methods like topping, stress training, and the SCROG technique coax multiple colas from cannabis.
Some of those methods include topping, screen of green (SCROG), sea of green (SOG), and light stress training.
If you’re curious about these techniques and want to know more, check out the Plant Training Guide at Grow Weed Easy.
We’ll be featuring breakdowns on them in the near future as well.
The Different Parts Of The Cannabis Cola
As referenced above, the cola is made up of smaller parts of the cannabis plant. While they are all considered part of the flower, they’re worth understanding in their own right.
Calyxes
Calyxes are the part of the cannabis flower that protects the reproductive organs of the plant. These are sometimes called sepals.
Sugar Leaves
These small leaves cluster around the calyx. They gained their name because they glisten with small crystals of resin that look like sugar.
Pistils
Pistils are long hair-like protrusions on the plant that smokers wax poetic about. They’re the plant’s reproductive organs and also contain a lot of the plant’s psychoactive compounds.
Trichomes
Trichomes are glads that secret resin. Since this sticky resin protects the plant from predators in the wild, it’s an evolutionary wonder. The highest concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes exist in the resin so it is the most potent part of the plant.
In fact, cannabis concentrates are all about extracting cannabinoids such as THC and CBD and terpenes from the trichomes. The terpenes are flavor compounds in each strain producing distinct aromas, tastes, and even sensations.
Male vs Female Cannabis
You probably already know that female cannabis plants produce the big buds you know and love. While male plants also flower, they’re quite different from their female kin. Male flowers appear in small dangling blossoms that some describe as tulip like in appearance. Eventually, these blossoms open and release the pollen needed to fertilize nearby female plants.
Cannabis Cola Officially Broken Down
There’s a simple cannabis cola breakdown. Now you know what a cannabis cola is, where it’s found on the plant, and why you should care.
Hopefully, you’ll remember what you’ve learned the next time you fall down a #weedporn hole on the internet. While eye candy is nice, knowledge is power.
See you next time, ponies!

anointing Kingdom prophetic
Hi, thanks for your interest and passion to see breakthrough, freedom and transformation in people struggling with drug addiction!. May God bless & protect you! Thanks for visiting!
” ‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. I will show wonders in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood and fire and billows of smoke. The sun will be turned to darkness and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.’ What goes through your mind when you read Peter quoting Joel in Acts 2:17-21? Two questions should come to mind: 1) Are these the last days? And 2) Has God poured His Spirit on all people? More specifically, has He poured out His Spirit on this generation? Now, if you believe that God has poured out His Spirit on all peoples and believe that this generation is included in this pouring, than you should then also believe that we are living in the last days where all peoples will have the potential to be a prophetic voice to the world for the Kingdom of God.
If you spend anytime on the Internet than you know that there are so many people out there who have something to say. Whenever I go to “You Tube” I get bombarded by video after video of people speaking up and speaking out about anything and everything. Blogging is also gaining even greater popularity. Not to mention Twitter and Facebook which are the king and queen of social networking. People in this generation have a lot to say. Now, to be honest a lot of what’s out there is just people seeking to be funny or inventive or shocking, but there are those who are genuinely sharing the passions and convictions that they hold in their hearts. If I take a step back and take a broad view of what’s going on, what all this says to me is that there are so many people out there who are or have the potential to be a prophetic voice for this generation. But, in order to be a prophetic voice to the world our focus needs to begin to change from being on ourselves to towards the world around you. This means, taking the time in discerning the times that we live in.
If we look to the Old Testament, there are two references that point to the importance of seeking those out who had insight into the times. In 1 Chronicles 12:32 we read that among those listed to join David’s army after he became King over all of Israel were 200 men of Issachar, “who understood the times and knew what Israel should do.” We also read in Esther 1:13 that King Xerxes consulted with “experts of the law and justice, and he spoke with the wise men who understood the times” before making important decisions. In both examples, we see the value set on those who understood the times and how kings sought them out for counsel. Though it’s not directly stated, we can safely assume that the men of Issachar were a key component of those whom David sought counsel from.
In the New Testament, we see that Jesus also addressed the importance of discerning the times when He accused the Pharisees of not being able to interpret the signs of the times. In Matthew 16:1-4, we read that “the Pharisees came to Jesus and tested him by asking him to show them a sign from heaven.” But, Jesus said to them, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’ and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times. A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.” Jesus then left them and went away. We all need to hear and receive this same rebuke that Jesus gave the Pharisees and Sadducees and begin to “interpret the sign of our times.”
Have you ever really sat down and taken a closer look at the times that we live in? As I spent some time really thinking and praying about the times that we live in, these are some observations that has God impressed upon me. We live in a time where there is the decline of the Church and the rise of humanism. We live in a time where there is the rise of a pornographic culture and the decline of the family. We live in a time where there is the rise of tolerance, but the decline of a genuine love. We live in a time where there is the rise of greater avenues of communication, but the decline of real connectedness between people. We live in a time where there is the rise of technological advances, but the decline of personal meaning. We live in a time where there is a rise of medical advances, but also a rise of more psychological and physical dysfunction. We live in a time where there is the rise of information availability, but the decline in the ability to process information.
God gifts and anoints people unconditionally. Meaning, He blesses people with gifts and talents and then allows us to use them at our discretion. This is seen throughout the Old Testament, Samson the judge or King Jeroboam I are good examples of this. They were both called and anointed by God (His Spirit was upon both judges and kings), but they used their gifting and authority abusively and selfishly. Fast forward to today, we also see this sort of abuse going on all over the Church at large. (I will refrain from naming any names here). So, the question may not be about having the ability to be a prophetic voice to this generation. But, more so about how well are you being a steward of God’s anointing on your life in being a prophetic voice to this generation?

The Topic: Advertising
Overview
The Basics - Advertising is
providing information, calling attention to, and making
known something that you want to sell or promote. More Detail - Advertising is
a message designed to promote or sell a product, a
service, or an idea. Advertising reaches people through
varied types of mass communication. In everyday life,
people come into contact with many different kinds of
advertising. Printed ads are found in newspapers and
magazines. Poster ads are placed in buses, subways, and
trains. Neon signs are scattered along downtown streets. Billboards dot the landscape along our highways. Commercials interrupt radio and television
programming. Advertising is a multibillion dollar industry (more
than $100 billion a year) in the U.S. In many businesses,
sales volume depends on the amount of advertising done. Manufacturers try to persuade people to buy their
products. Business firms use advertising to promote an
"image" for their company. Businesses use advertising to
gain new customers and increase sales. Individuals, political candidates and their parties,
organizations and groups, and the government also
advertise. The armed forces uses ads to recruit
volunteers. Special interest groups promote a cause or
try to influence people's thoughts and actions. Politicians use ads to try to win votes. And people
advertise in newspapers to sell cars, homes, property, or
other items.

Animal
Homes
Easier - Animal
homes are specific places within their habitat
where an animal lives such as a den, nest, or
burrow.
Harder- Animal
habitats are the landforms in which a specific
animal prefers to live. Some animals prefer
woodland, others prairies, and many can live only
in ponds, rivers, lakes, or streams. Many animals
live underground or in crevices or caverns.
Animal homes vary from dens, burrows, hollow
logs, galls on plants and trees, and numerous types
of nests. Look for signs of animal homes by
listening for animal sounds such as birds singing ,
the rustling of animal movement, and the sounding
of alarms. Observe tracks and trails found in mud,
sand, or snow. Notice feeding signs such as chew
marks on plants, animal remains, and droppings or
scat. Look for traces of feathers, fur, antlers,
shells, and skins. By learning about the habits and
characteristics of animals, you will be able to
locate and identify many of their homes.
Animal

Can
an Animal be Homeless? (Grade K)
http://www.people.memphis.edu/~jsiegel/courses/BLOCK/www/homes3.html
It is important for students to know that
animals have homes and families just as they do and
it is also important for students to know that they
can help contribute to or help prevent homelessness
for animals.
'Everybody
Needs a Home' - Project Wild(Grade1) from
AskERIC Lesson Plans
http://www.askeric.org/Virtual/Lessons/Interdisciplinary/INT0111.html
Animals need a place in which to find food and
water. They also need enough space in which to live
and find the food, water and shelter they need. The
major purpose of this activity is for students to
realize that animals need a home.

http://42explore.com/polar.htm | Polar Regions
The
Topic:
Polar
Regions
Easier- The
polar regions are the icy areas around the North and
South Pole. The Arctic and Antarctic are in the polar
regions. Polar bears, penguins, seals, whales, and
walrus are a few of the wildlife that live in these
very cold regions.
Harder- The
cold polar regions are found on the far south and
north ends of the globe. During the winter the sun
never rises and the during the summer the sun never
sets. When the sun does shine, it is very weak. The
weather is very cold year around. The polar regions
were the last places on Earth to be explored. There is
much debate over the valuable oil and mineral
resources available in the polar regions.
The southern polar region is called Antarctica. This ice-covered continent is larger than the United
States and is surrounded by ice and water. It contains
a 16,000 foot mountain. Even in the summer, it rarely
gets above freezing. Although it is dry, cold, and
very windy, scientists and visitors live here. An
international treaty allows people of many nations to
live together.
The northern polar region is called the Arctic. The Arctic is a huge ocean surrounded by land. Most of
the ocean is frozen, but there are areas where the
Inuit people live. The Arctic fringe is tundra covered
with low grass plains.
Keep in mind that although it's cold in both the
Arctic and Antarctic, there are many differences. For
example, the animal and sea life differ. Polar bears
are found in the Arctic, while penguins are found in
the Antarctic.
Arctic
Studies Center

The
Topic:
Sculpture
Easier - Sculpture
is the act and art of making three-dimensional
works of art such as statues. A statue is an image
such as a person or animal that is sculpted in a
solid substance. The Statue of Liberty and Rodin's
The Thinker are two well-known statues.
Sculptures may be carved, chiseled, modeled,
cast, or constructed. They can be made of many
different materials such as wood, stone, clay,
metal, sand, ice, and even balloons. A person who
creates sculpture is called an sculptor.
Harder- Sculptors
use many different materials in their work such as
stone, bronze, clay, iron, steel, paper, metal,
marble, wood, soap, chocolate, butter, balloons,
ice, snow, and sand. There are many end products
including carousels, dolls, animals, action
figures, mobiles, and kinetic sculptures. These
pieces of art maybe placed inside or outside. Gargoyles on building ledges and sculpture gardens
are two examples of outside sculptures.
Sculptures are often thematic on topics such as
wildlife, religion, tradition, or fun. Many people
create sculptures from found objects such as
recycled materials. New technologies are used to
create interesting artwork that includes computers,
holograms, and light.
Wonderful examples of sculpture can be found
throughout the world. Sculpture has been an
important part of culture since ancient times.
Four processes are used in sculpture including
subtraction, substitution, addition, and
manipulation.

http://42explore.com/skim.htm | Skimming and Scanning
The
Topic:
Skimming
and Scanning
Easier - There are
different styles of reading for different
situations. The technique you choose will depend on
the purpose for reading. For example, you might be
reading for enjoyment, information, or to complete
a task. If you are exploring or reviewing, you
might skim a document. If you're searching for
information, you might scan for a particular word. To get detailed information, you might use a
technique such as SQ4R. You need to adjust your
reading speed and technique depending on your
purpose.
Many people consider skimming and scanning
search techniques rather than reading strategies. However when reading large volumes of information,
they may be more practical than reading. For
example, you might be searching for specific
information, looking for clues, or reviewing
information.
Harder- Web
pages, novels, textbooks, manuals, magazines,
newspapers, and mail are just a few of the things
that people read every day. Effective and efficient
readers learn to use many styles of reading for
different purposes. Skimming, scanning, and
critical reading are different styles of reading
and information processing.
Skimmingis used to quickly identify the
main ideas of a text. When you read the newspaper,
you're probably not reading it word-by-word,
instead you're scanning the text. Skimming is done
at a speed three to four times faster than normal
reading. People often skim when they have lots of
material to read in a limited amount of time. Use
skimming when you want to see if an article may be
of interest in your research.
There are many strategies that can be used when
skimming. Some people read the first and last
paragraphs using headings, summarizes and other
organizers as they move down the page or screen. You might read the title, subtitles, subheading,
and illustrations. Consider reading the first
sentence of each paragraph. This technique is
useful when you're seeking specific information
rather than reading for comprehension. Skimming
works well to find dates, names, and places. It
might be used to review graphs, tables, and
charts.
Scanningis a technique you often use
when looking up a word in the telephone book or
dictionary. You search for key words or ideas. In
most cases, you know what you're looking for, so
you're concentrating on finding a particular
answer. Scanning involves moving your eyes quickly
down the page seeking specific words and phrases. Scanning is also used when you first find a
resource to determine whether it will answer your
questions. Once you've scanned the document, you
might go back and skim it.
When scanning, look for the author's use of
organizers such as numbers, letters, steps, or the
words, first, second, or next. Look for words that
are bold faced, italics, or in a different font
size, style, or color. Sometimes the author will
put key ideas in the margin.
Reading off a computer screen has become a
growing concern. Research shows that people have
more difficulty reading off a computer screen than
off paper. Although they can read and comprehend at
the same rate as paper, skimming on the computer is
much slower than on paper.

The
Topic:
Tall
Tales
Easier -
Throughout history people have told and written
stories about their heroes. A tall tale is a
special kind of hero story because the heroes of
tall tales are 'larger than life'. They are bigger
or stronger than real people, even when the tall
tale is based on a real person. Tall tale heroes
solve problems in funny ways that are hard to
believe
Harder- A tall
tale is a uniquely American story form that
features (1) a larger-than-life, or superhuman,
main character with a specific task, (2) a problem
that is solved in a humorous or outrageous way, (3)
exaggerated details that describe things larger
than they really are, and (4) characters who use
everyday language. Many tall tales are based on
actual people or on a composite of actual people. Exaggeration is the major element in tall
tales.

and different. First start by identifying
the story elements of the tall tales. What
parts of their stories make them a tall
tale? What exaggerations are made? Do you
think a tall tale is similar to a person
who is a legend? Another name for a hero
is a legend. Do you think either of your
characters were American heroes? Why or
why not? Do you think authors of the tall
tales did research? Why? Do you think
either character originated from a true
story and then was exaggerated? Use
Inspiration software to create a diagram
showing your comparison.

Welcome to 42 Now, the only site where you can play forty-two dominoes online from your browser.

One of the great things about this site is that you can learn how to play without spending a lot of time reading the rules because you can play against "bots" (computer controlled players) and the game won't let you make an incorrect bid or play. In fact, you can click on the "suggest" link and it will recommend the best bid or play for you.
If you already know how to play, jump into a game by clicking "Play" in the menu. No downloads or plugins are required so you can play 42 dominoes online right now.
No registration is required to play. If you want to see your name instead of "You" on the table or you'd like to try and make the "Top Players" list, then go ahead and register. It only takes a few seconds and we will not send you any emails or release your information to anyone.

This helps the computer to organize its functions and work much faster. Most operating systems (Windows) require the use of file extensions, but others do not (Unix).
These file extensions are also beneficial for us. By simply looking at the filename, we can determine what type of information is stored to that and what applications can open these files. Have you noticed that when your computer acquires an unknown file, it will ask your permission to look for associated program to open it or look for these programs over the Internet? Yes! These file extensions make the work of the computer easy. Once there is no application associated with the file, then the computer will immediately ask the users assistance to help look for the source files.

systems to replace the older INI files which also contained system configuration. Let's concentrate on the structure and purpose of Windows System
Registry, review some possible attacks to it and ways to avoid them...
Folders, files and paths- Files are the entries or information stored on your
computer. These are represented by binary coding and written on the tracks on a disk. Files are often represented by distinct icons, a normal practice done by
Microsoft with their products including system files for their series of operating systems...
What are file extensions? - File extensions are unnoticed yet are very crucial parts of
the computer world. But many are still unaware of the basic foundation and principles behind the remarkable wonders of computers...

GET FIT, STAY WELL!
Every day, everybody in some way goes through a physical fitness, which is the ability to accomplish a physical activity without to much exhaustion. Physical fitness is broken up into two separate parts, physical activity and exercise. Physical activity is any movement of the body that is made by skeletal muscles and result in expenditure of energy, and exercise is a more specific type of work out. Many people think these are the same things, but in reality they are very different. In physical activity there are three primary levels. Most of the time physical activity is measured in METS, Metabolic equivalents. The first level of MET is level one, which is the energy you use while sitting calmly, or at rest. For example most everyday activities like housework, leisurely walking, or light stretching. This level of MET would help increase your health and wellness and minimize chronic diseases. The next level of MET is level two, which is two times the energy used in level one. This would be your lighter type’s of physical activities, such as dancing, bicycling on a flat surface, hiking and climbing stairs. Level two of MET’s would improve cardio respiratory endurance, blood cholesterol and pressure, blood glucose management, and lower body fat and risk of disease. The third primary level is level three, which is three times the energy being used in level one. This level of MET’s would be your more competitive sporting events such as, running, swimming laps, aerobic classes, basketball, soccer, and even construction work. This level of MET increases the overall physical fitness of a human being including their strength and endurance, this level also decreasing risk of disease.
In physical fitness there are five health-related components: cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and body composition. Cardiorespiratory endurance is the ability of cardiovascular and respiratory systems to provide oxygen to the muscles while exercising. Your cardiovascular endurance measures the oxygen received while working out, also measuring your heart rate, and your recovery time to your work out. It decreases the risk of heart disease, obesity, and diabetes. Muscular strength is the ability of your muscles to put forth force, for example the achievement of lifting heavy weights. To improve muscle strength, one should be in a controlled environment with supervision to decrease cause of injury. Muscular strength decreases risks of low bone density, and musculoskeletal injuries. Muscular endurance is your muscles ability to contract repetitively over time. In order to improve your muscular endurance you should do resistance exercises or participate in sports or activities. Flexibility is being able to move your joints in full range of motion. Flexibility is a very important aspect when it comes to exercise or sports. To have a minimal flexibility range is good for training and working towards a fitness goal, while having a maximum flexibility range helps prevent lower back pains. Body composition is the amount of fat and lean tissue in the body. Lean tissue contains bone, organs, muscle and fluid. A normal healthy body composition has enough muscle tissue with low fat tissue. The amount of fat that is correct for a person’s body with vary with age and gender. Healthy body composition should be most people’s foundation when it comes to fitness health and diet programs.
Along with the five health-related components, physical fitness has some ways to improve the way you perform athletic and exercise tasks. These are called skill-related components of fitness, which many athletes use to have a competitive side. They are separated into six categories: Agility, balance, coordination, power, speed, and reaction time. Agility is the ability to quickly change body position with speed and consistency. Balance is the ability to maintain equilibrium while either moving, or being still. Coordination is to be able to use your body and your senses to achieve whatever task is before you with ease. Power is being able to do work or contract muscles quickly with force. Speed is to be able make a movement very quickly in a short period of time. Reaction time is the time it take for someone to react to a stimulus. As most of these skill-related components are given to us by heredity, working out everyday and zoning in on certain things helps our fitness skills improve. Some may improve more quickly then others, but that should not discourage others instead should make them want to work harder. You must work everyday consistently and work productively, for example, running drills that mimic a specific sport skill, or just working on a specific skill-related component skill will help all of these things improve.
To be able to have an effective work out program you need to take in the basic principles of fitness. These are guidelines that explain how the body reacts to the training and inform you on the best way to train to reach your goals. The first being overload. Overload says that to be able to see results in your physical fitness the amount of dose training you take on must be more then your body is use to. To be able to improve your level of fitness you must constantly change the way you exercise. Your body adapts to this change making workouts that seem tough in the beginning easier to get done as the time goes on. Dose-response relationship is what your body can expect from the adaptations it made from the amount of overload training you completed. An increase in dose depends on way you trained, health or fitness outcome measured, and individual characteristics. Diminished returns says that the way you improve during fitness will decrease overtime as your fitness level approach’s it’s genetic peak. Progression states that to be able to safely and correctly increase fitness, you need to increase the level of overload to the body with a certain time period. Although you need to increase the level of workout, it needs to be done safely so the risk of injury in minimal. Following the “10 percent rule” is highly suggested, this rule suggests increasing workouts by 10 percent per week. Specificity states that improvements in the body will only occur if a certain part of the body is pushed by the physical activity. For this to work, as you train you should target the muscle groups that are needed for you sport, or activity. Reversibility states that if you do not maintain a continual and frequent work out of at least the minimal level of skills, your fitness levels will slip. As you stop working out, the time it takes to lose all the fitness gains you had is half of how long it took you to build what you had. For example if you trained 4 weeks for a 400 meter dash, it would take 2 weeks to lose all the fitness gains you had by not working out. Individuality states that the way a persons body adaptations to an overload may be very different from the way another persons body would adapt. A responder is a person who responds well to a training program, and a nonresponder is a person who does not respond as well to the same program. Recovery is very important when it comes to reaching extreme goals. As you push your body to do overloads of work it is not yet use to, it needs time to recover from all the stresses you put on it. If you do not give your body the rest it needs, it could lead to overtraining which is your body telling you that it has been pushed to it’s limit. To prevent this from happening you should make it a priority to have regular rest days.
A person’s physical activity is very important when it comes to health and wellness. As research has shown, there should be time for a person to work out or do some sort of physical activity everyday. This is where the health comes in to be an important factor. If someone decides to watch TV all day and not do any kind of physical activity, whether just walking outside to even jogging around the neighbor hood that person’s body isn’t getting the exercise it needs to stay healthy. As we can tell by the information above there are many physical activities that the body need’s to have for it to function correctly and smoothly. Eating healthy foods will help the body be healthy, but it will not take care of the physical part that is also important. Being healthy also helps us reach the highest level of wellness. Wellness is the highest level of health in physical, social, intellectual, emotional, environmental, and spiritual dimensions. Wellness feeds off the physical part of being healthy, if you are not both mentally and physically healthy then your wellness as a whole isn’t very strong. So physical activity in an everyday life helps us reach the highest level of wellness, making us feel good about ourselves at the end of the day.
Exercising safely is very important, especially since injury these day’s are booming. There are several steps to follow to help us with exercising safely, starting with the warm up. A proper warm up consists of two stages: a general warm-up, which is a light 3-10 minute physical activities that are going to be beneficial to you for the activity you are about to do. The second is the specific warm-up, which is the warm-up where you focus on certain muscle groups that you will be using during the activity you are about to participate in. A cool down is also very important for exercising safely. A cool down should last between 5-15 minutes, which in this time you are bringing your heart rate, breathing rate, and temperature to resting levels. The cool down should reflect on the activities you have just performed, whether its doing a general cool down, or stretching appropriately. Taking the time to properly learn the skills for the activity is also very important. Learning the right skills for the activity you are just begging to attempt is very important, because if you do not do the skills correctly you are at risk for injury so it is very important to learn the right skills before jumping right into to the activity. Having enough energy and being hydrated is very important before working out also. You should eat about 2 hours prior to the exercise so your not workout out on a full stomach. Before working out you should drink enough water so you do not feel thirsty going in to the workout, as well as drinking during the workout also so as your sweating your staying hydrated. Having appropriate workout clothing is very important as well. When your choosing shoes to wear, if you don’t already have specialized shoes for the activity, you want to chose a pair of shoes that fit and have cushion. Same goes for the clothing, most activities just require shorts and a t-shirt that fit comfortably and appropriately. It is important to dress accordingly to the sport or activity you are about to participate in. The more you work out the more you will know about what is comfortable to wear and how you should dress for the activity.
As your going into a work out you should know that everyone is not the same and the requirements are going to vary from person to person. There are many things that should be considered in order to have a safe workout the first is age. Older adults will require more precautions then younger kids, for their bodies are older and not able to work like kid’s bodies work. For older adults muscle-strengthening exercises, and flexibility and balance exercises are recommended to reduce risk of injury. The next thing to take into consideration is weight. Overweight individuals and underweight individuals should not perform the same workouts for the stresses that can be put on them. Overweight individuals should do a cross-training workout with a mix of multiple different activities. While underweight individuals should perform a lot more strength and weight-bearing activities to improve both the muscle’s and bone’s. Your current fitness level is also something to take into consideration. If you are someone who workouts on a daily basis, you should consider increasing the intensity of the work out to see more results, as if you are just coming into working out you should start by gradually working into a routine that is going to be comfortable for you. A major thing to consider for a safe work out is disabilities. Having a disability, no matter what it is, doesn’t mean you can’t work out but that you just have to adjust what you do. Many colleges, community centers, and fitness centers have great instructors and equipment that will help you reach your fitness goal. And the last thing to consider would be your own special health concerns. When it comes to health concerns, some individuals may need medical supervision, or people that have just come off injury or have some type of concern may also need to be monitored until told differently. People with bone or joint problems can do exercises that are more low-impact. Also people that are taking medications, or are on prescription need to be fully aware of the side affects that you could get by working out and taking the medication.
As you prepare for your own exercise program after not doing anything for a long while, many people are very unsure where to start. Instead of just jumping into things quickly you should save yourself the frustration of not being able to do what you expect yourself to do and start off by thinking about the approach you should take. Take into consideration exercise motivations, goals, and the needs you want to achieve with the work out your going to begin. Take into consideration a formula program called FITT to help you along the path to starting your new work out system. FITT stands for frequency, intensity, time and type which are all very important factors when it comes to working out. This program is a very good way to design a safe and very effective work out that helps you to manage your time and get the things done that you wanted to achieve for the day. Knowing how you work, and the way you work is also an important factor when thinking about a workout program. You don’t want to put yourself in a situation that will be too hard or too easy, because if you put yourself in either one of those situations you will not want to do the work out you have designed for yourself. And last thing to consider is creating something that will be enjoyable to you through out your journey to reach your fitness goals and needs. | msmarco_doc_00_25738130 | |

Protein Powder Review – Orgain Organic Protein
UPDATE: Due to expansion of availability this product’s overall rating has improved! Stay tuned for the Vanilla Bean taste review as well.
Endorsement Disclosure: From time to time I’ll extol the virtues of a specific product or service. If I am being compensated to review a product I’ll certainly let you know. Otherwise, you can rest assured that I receive zero compensation in doing so. Today’s post is a case of the zero scenario. If I really like something, I feel compelled to share. Word of mouth is a powerful force, and I love to see excellence rewarded.

Today we’re going to talk about protein. You may or may not know that my quest for decent, mixable, tasty and healthful options has been long and arduous journey. I have found some options along the way, but am always on the lookout for new, and affordable selections that I can pass along to you.
My latest find, Orgain Organic Protein was discovered at my new 3rd home, Costco (Target is still my solid 2nd residence for those of you wondering. See below for their new offering of Orgain there). I recently watched a documentary highlighting this mega-retailer’s impressive history, and I have been pleased to find that most everything that wowed me on that reel I’ve actually experienced as a Costco shopper. Take a look at this post for a list of other great foods I buy here.
So onto the good stuff. I’ll be reviewing several more protein supplements in the coming weeks and in preparation have devised a scale and attributes list to summarize my opinion for each.
SCALE: 1-10 with 1 being totally crummy and 10 being completely awesome. I’ve found with food that people have different thresholds for different aspects of the food. Same goes with protein, so I’ll rate each attribute using this scale.
COST: A biggie when you’re shopping for protein because cost per serving can add up quickly when supplementing on a daily basis.
TASTE: Perhaps THE biggest because if you can’t choke it down, it’s all over.
INGREDIENTS: Very important because, again, you may be using this for more than one meal every day.
MACROS: Important, but not as essential because you can add to it with blendables or real food sides.
MIXABILITY: Again, lower on the list, but key for those relying on this as a portable option.
AVAILABILITY/CONVENIENCE: This is a big one for me because I am very busy and don’t want to have to rely on purchase methods that are complicated or that make me wait for the product.
Orgain Organic Protein – Creamy Chocolate Fudge
COST: 9
2.74lb for $29.99 (plus Costco membership) 27 Servings at $1.11 cost per serving. It’s also now available on Amazon in the 2.74lb size as well for just a tad more. And since Target has jumped onto the healthier options bandwagon, you can purchase a 2.03lb option for about $1.2 per serving. All options are pretty impressive, given most organic, vegan proteins come in at over $2.
TASTE: 7
True to form, the proteins with the best ingredients have the worst taste. This one is no exception. The saving grace here is that the taste is not offensive, there just really isn’t any. I feel like naming this flavor “creamy chocolate fudge” is misleading. Chocolate flavor? Barely. Fudge? Not a trace of it in the taste. More than anything I taste a hint of the brown rice and just a touch of chocolate. It easily blends with bananas or other fruit for a subtle flavor that’s easy to get down. If chocolate rice sound appealing, then this is the one for you! However, Vanilla Bean is now being offered at Target and Amazon. We have it on order, and I’ll post an update as soon as we test it out.
INGREDIENTS: 8
Organic, with lots of good foods you can pronounce. Natural sweeteners and decent binding agents. Not sure how you’d get a protein powder to function otherwise. I don’t think there is a 10 out there, unless you include powdered chicken breast.
MACROS: 9
This is where Orgain shines. 21g protein, moderate 13g carbs so you can drink as is or add to it, low fat, VERY little sugar and sodium (hence the taste) and good fiber at 5g. The only thing I’d like to see changed is lower carbs to make it even more adaptable to individual needs. Sometimes you just want the protein so you can eat real carbs alongside it.
MIXABILITY: 10
No issues here, even with water. Quick and easy.,
UPGRADED AVAILABILITY: 10
I’m assuming that most major metropoli in the U.S. provide access to the bargain big box behemoths known as Costco and Target. Some of you like to shop and support local, and I get that. Some of you live under a rock, 45 minutes from the nearest gas station. For you the new Amazon availability is your ticket. Based on Orgain’s expansion into broader retail arenas, I’ve upgraded the availability from a 7 to a 10. It hits all my major shopping arteries – literally.
UPGRADED BOTTOM LINE SCORE (average of all the attributes) 8.8
So there you have it. A decently nutritious option that’s now super easy to find, really easy to mix and won’t break the supplement bank. Have you tried this one? What did you think of it? | msmarco_doc_00_25752972 |

“Historically, the distinction between Hutus and Tutsis was based on class, rather than ethnicity.”
As We Forgive
Population of Rwanda in 1994: Student Created Image
Conflicts between Hutu and Tutsis date back to the 1950s. In 1994, the population consisted of 14% Tutsi, 85% Hutu, and 1% Twa.
" There are no different tribes or race groups in Rwanda. In fact, we can't even talk about Hutu and Tutsi as ethnic groups, as they share the same language and culture. This is why the current government says there are no Hutu and Tutsi, only Rwandan. There is some speculation that the words, hundreds of years ago, 'Hutu' and 'Tutsi' referred to occupation. The one group worked more in the fields and the other looked after cows, or to class differences. But there are definitely not tribes or race groups in Rwanda. Even the differences that the colonialists identified, thin and thick noses, is not acc urate."
Cori Wielenga
Hutu vs. Tutsi: Rwandan Genocide
Physical distinction between Hutus and Tutsis is minor. Tutsis are much taller, have lighter skin, and a longer, more slender nose. A more relevant difference, however, was that Tutsis were cattle owners, and Hutus were farmers. The Twa were an aboriginal minority tribe.
"When a Tutsi comes across a herd of cows, he sees good fortune. When a Hutu comes across cows, all he sees
are hooves and hassl
e."
Claudine, survivor
"After the genocide, many foreigners wondered how the huge number of Hutu killers recognized their Tutsi victims in the upheaval of the massacres, since Rwandans of both ethnic groups speak the same language with no distinctive differences, live in the same places, and are not always physically recognizable by distinctive characteristics. The answer is simple. The killers did not have to pick out their victims: they knew them personally. Everyone knows everything in a village."

Pilot Bushing Removal:
Here's a tip that will make the removal of the pilot bushing a simple process. All you have to do is take a tap (usually a 5/8) and tap it through the bushing until it makes contact with the drive shaft. Simply keep turning the tap and it will push the bushing out with very little effort. ( If the bushing is badly worn, use a larger tap )
This sure beats the heck out of the "pack it with grease and drive a dowel in the center method" and a lot less messy. BR []

ENGINE BLOCK: Identifying the 65 400 block couldn't be simpler. At the front, on top, directly behind the water pump is the block casting number 389298B in big bold raised letters. It is found, just to the right of the oil pressure sending unit hole. The side view shows the large "B" at the rear right side of the block, ahead and above the oil filter. ( Note: in 66-67 the block number changed to 390925E ) There is NO VIN derivative on the 65 blocks. It was not added until 1968.
The views below show the location of the Julian Date at the top rear of the block next to the distributor hole.
ENGINE HEADS: Identifying the 65 400 heads is equally simple. There is a large raised "A" cast at the left side of both heads and the number 383821 below the valve cover, visible on both heads.
By the 1965 model year, Oldsmobile had the answer, by adding 35 additional horsepower. The General Motors brass were swayed by the success of the Pontiac GTO, so they relented on their decision to keep big blocks out of the mid-size cars. The 65 Cutlass 442 could now be equipped with a de-stroked version of Oldsmobile's monster Stage II 425 Rocket V8. Apparently modified to keep within the revised GM bounds restricting mid-size cars to engines of 400 cubic inches or less, this new 442 powerplant measured out at 400 cubic inches on the nose. Using what Hot Rod magazine described as a "moderate" 10.25:1 compression ratio, the 442's Rocket engine produced a claimed 345 horsepower and an amazing 440 pound-feet of peak torque at 3200 rpm. There's no substitute for cubes.
Designed for heavy-duty use, the engine offered such hot rod parts as forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods, light, stamped steel rocker arms with tubular pushrods, plus 2.0-inch intake and 1.625-inch exhaust valves. All of this good stuff, to use the words of Hot Rod, "contributed to vigorous and long-lasting health."
The short stroke 1965-67 400s are awesome engines. The early 400 engines rev higher than any other big block. They will rev higher than a 425. They have less piston mass. These things will turn almost 7000 RPM.
With the big-block engine under the hood the 442 had quickly come into its own. Oldsmobile still advertised the broad range of its vehicles with the mildly provocative slogan: "Pick the Rocket to fit your pocket!" But with the beefier engine, 442 now meant 400 cubic inches, 4-barrel carburetor and 2 exhausts.
A series of W30 options available on the 442 would do nothing but enhance the reputation of the car as the years passed. The first of these added a Tri-Power-like triple two-barrel carburetor set-up and forced cold-air induction which delivered what Olds said was 360 horsepower. Others suggest the true horsepower figure was more like 400. Before the demise of the 442, it would be equipped with a 455-cubic inch V8 of monstrous proportions that only made its legend more stellar.
The big and small block engine types are almost identical, with the big block having a higher deck than the small block. The bore centers are the same, since the only differences between the small-block and big-block Olds blocks are the deck height (9.33" and 10.625", respectively) and the main journal size ( 2.5" and 3.0"; diesel 350 used BB size mains, however ).
Many internal parts interchange, but it is best to keep the big block parts on the big block and the same for the small block.
The engines were sometimes named, and this was printed on the air cleaner label or sticker. Mid 60's 425s were known as Super Rockets. Some featured Ultra High Compression on their labels.
Quick Identification:
The large oil fill tube on the front of the engine, sticking up from the timing chain area, is a dead giveaway that it is an Olds engine.
Engine code on the oil filler tube.
400 V8 345 4-BBL MT 10.25:1 QW
400 V8 345 4-BBL AT 10.25:1 QR
400 V8 360 3 X 2's MT 10.25:1 QZ
The distributor is found at the back of the block and it does not go through the intake manifold, but right into the block. Also the spark plugs will be above the exhaust manifolds with no need for heat shields.
The Block Code and/or Head Code can give you an idea, but some codes cover many years. The casting number is ususally nearby. Other than that, there is no method of determining the year of manufacture of an Olds block.
The valve covers are a distinctive shape. Straight running front to rear, with an arc connecting each end of the two lines, to define front and rear. From their sealing surface, the covers are curved as they meet their top. The top of the covers are flat, like someone cut off the curved top.
The thermostat cover/radiator hose has a special molded in bypass pipe for the waterpump.
The day of the year of manufacture is the big number right by the distributor hole.
Original paint color can help identify an engine, or further identify it. However, since paint is easily changed, it should be used as supporting evidence, not as absolute indication of engine lineage.
The VIN derivative stamping or engine unit number is on the left most side of the block or head, on the driver's side, just below the cylinder head, toward the front, behind the power steering pump.. The pad is part of the engine and will indicate the year of manufacture, but that is usually rusted beyond recognition, and it can be changed by restamping. Basically it IDs the car in which the motor was originally installed. It can provide some circumstantial info but not a positive ID.
( Note: If the engine was replaced under warranty, the pad may be blank. Rubbing alcohol and Q-tips help to remove the grime and grit from the stamping. )
1964-67 V-8 Engine:
Code is stamped on the right cylinder head. Unfortunately, this only applies to what was originally the passenger side head. This code consists of a prefix letter (330 V-8=T (1964-65) or W (1966-67), 400 V-8 = V), then a production sequence number, followed by a suffix code letter ( L = Low compression, E = 2-bbl export, G = High compression, H = 4-bbl export ). A 2-letter code on the oil filler tube identified the engine.
Oldsmobile Generation 2 Engines:
3.1 330
3.1.1 Jetfire Rocket
3.2 400
3.2.1 4-4-2 Rocket
3.3 425
3.3.1 Super Rocket
3.3.2 Starfire
3.3.3 Toronado Rocket
Generation 2:
The second generation of Oldsmobile V8s was produced from 1964 through 1990. Most of these engines were very similar, using the same bore centers, although "big-block" versions were produced with a 10.625 in (269.9 mm) deck height rather than 9.33 in (237 mm). Big-block and Diesel versions also used a larger 3.0 in (76.2 mm) instead of 2.5 in (63.5 mm) main bearing journal for increased strength. All generation-2 small-block Olds V8s used a stroke of 3.385 in (86 mm). The big-block engines initially used a forged crankshaft with a stroke of 3.975" for the 1965-1967 425 and 400 CI versions; starting in 1968, both the 400 in³ and the 455 in³ big blocks used a stroke of 4.25 in (107.9 mm), with crankshaft material changed to cast iron except in a few rare cases.
These engines, while being a wedge-head, had a unique combustion chamber that resulted from a valve angle of only 6°. This was much flatter than the 23° of the small-block Chevrolet and 20° of the Ford small-block wedge heads. This very open and flat chamber was fuel efficient and had lower than average emissions output. It was the only GM engine to meet US emission standards using a carburetor all the way up to 1990.
400:
The 400 in³ ( 6.6 L ) version was the second tall-deck "big-block" Olds. Two distinct versions of the 400 CID engine were made:
1965 through 1967 Early 400's used a slightly over-square 4.000 in (101.6 mm) bore and 3.975 in (101.1 mm) stroke. All the pre-1968 engines used a forged steel crankshaft.
1968 and 1969 400's shared the Olds big-block standard 4.25 in (107.9 mm) stroke with the 455 but used a very undersquare 3.87 in (98.3 mm) bore to comply with GM's displacement restrictions in the A-body cars and reduce tooling costs. This Later 400 is considered by many enthusiasts to be less desirable because of the powerband characteristics induced by this exceedingly undersquare format, and the fact that the crankshafts were now made of less durable cast iron material. Early 400's used the same forged steel crankshaft as the 425's, while the Later 400's used the same cast iron crankshaft of the 455's, with rare exception- some 1968 and later Olds 400/455's were produced with forged steel crankshafts. These rare cranks can be readily spotted by the "J" shaped notch in the OD of the rear flange; cast iron cranks have a "C" shaped notch.
All 1965 thru 1969 Olds 400's were painted bronze ( not gold ).

Engine Painting:
The engines in the 65 442 were painted Bronze only. The engine was painted after assembly, as complete units, less the alternator & power steering brackets, pulleys, fan, power steering pump, air conditioner pump (if equipped), and other accessories, which were installed after the paint was applied.
They were painted assembled, complete with heads, intake manifold, water pump, valve covers, and oil pan in place. The distributor, thermostat by pass hose and manual bell housing were also mounted and received some overspray in the process.

The engine unit number that is stamped on the front of the passenger side head can show that it is original to the car if you have the Protect-O-Plate. That same number appears on the Protect-O-Plate. Of course it is only on the one head, so technically it only proves one head is original. Same thru '67.
Early 400
Built 1965 - 1967.
Late 400
Built 1968 - 1969.
The short stroke 1965-67 400s were great engines, but in 68-69 Olds attempted to reduce emissions by using a reduced bore to minimize combustion chamber quench area and thus lower unburned hydrocarbons (emissions controls actually started in 1968 on 49-state cars). Note that this decision to go with a smaller bore was also due in no small part to the desire to use a common crankshaft with the new 455 in 1968 as well. The result is a terribly undersquare motor (3.870 bore x 4.125 stroke) which won't rev very well. This is the worst bore-to-stroke ratio of any American V8 from the modern era.
One limiting factor to your buildup will be the small bore size of your later 400, which can shroud larger valves. One great way to gain yourself some horsepower is to move up to a 455 shortblock with your stock "C" heads; more cubic inches, and the large valves will breathe even better.
The story on the change from the early 400 to the 68-69 400 was due to design changes to start limiting emissions and with the longer stroke they picked up more torque which lead to more power at lower rpm. Thus their early attempt to reduce gas consumption and increase mileage with lower emission. Plus the redesign of the internals which now shared the same crank and rods as the 455's.
I recall reading that the undersquare design of the 400 and 455 in 1968 was intended to reduce the quench area in the combustion chamber to reduce emissions. Apparently, the walls of the combustion chamber are cooler than the rest (makes sense) and fuel can condense out there and lead to incomplete burning and thus higher HC and CO emissions. By making the bore smaller, the surface area of the combustion chamber is, by definition, reduced.
Of course, while that was the published rationale, I suspect that this decision had more to do with commonality of the expensive crank forging between the 400 and 455 than anything else. Since Olds likely expected to sell many more 455s than 400s, redesigning the 400 to use the 455 crank and rods probably made a lot of financial sense.

Rev Potential, Limit
The early 400 engines rev higher than any other big block. They will rev higher than a 425. Got a little less piston mass. These things will turn almost 7000 RPM.

Pilot Bushing Removal:
Here's a tip that will make the removal of the pilot bushing a simple process. All you have to do is take a tap (usually a 5/8) and tap it through the bushing until it makes contact with the drive shaft. Simply keep turning the tap and it will push the bushing out with very little effort. ( If the bushing is badly worn, use a larger tap )
This sure beats the heck out of the "pack it with grease and drive a dowel in the center method" and a lot less messy. BR []
Motor Mounts & Mounting Pad Selections:
The question of which motor mounts to use when replacing an A-Body (F-85, Cutlass, Cutlass S, Cutlass Supreme, 442) small block with a big block is one that's asked all the time.
All Olds engines (big and small block) have the motor mount bosses in the same location in relation to the crank centerline. The only difference is the deck height. The year of the block (or the displacement for that matter) has absolutely NO effect on the type of motor mount to use. The only thing that matters is the matching frame mount. You must use the motor mount that matches the frame mount in the car.
If it was orignally a small block car and you do not intend to change the frame mounts, get small block motor mounts. These will bolt to the big block and will allow the engine to sit in the exact same location relative to the frame as it would have in a factory installation. Alternatively you could use matching big block motor and frame mounts, but for all this extra expense and effort the engine will still be sitting in the same location.
Small block engine mounts with small block frame mounts - OK
Big block engine mounts with big block frame mounts - OK
Small block engine mounts with big block frame mounts - the engine will be 1-2" too low
Big block engine mounts with small block frame mounts - the engine will be 1-2" too high
Note: The big block is about an inch taller than the small block when measuring from the crank centerline to the carb flange, so even if you use matching mounts, the air cleaner and valve covers will be higher in the engine compartment. The crank centerline, fan, and flywheel will all be in the same location as they were with the small block.
"The only thing you need to remember is that the rubber motor mounts and the metal frame mounts need to match. Nothing else matters."
The 64-69 small block and 65-68 big block motor mounts are identical. The 1969 400 mounts (and 455 for the 69 H/O) were changed to the taller design used on the 69-72 cars. The small block mounts were changed in 1970. Sealed Power 270-2261 - 1964-69 all V8 exc. 69 w/400
History
1964 - 1968 small and big block motor mounts 270-2261
1969 - 1972 small block motor mounts 270-2261
1969 - 1972 big block motor mounts 270-2328
1973 - up small and big block motor mounts 270-2380
The problem started in 1969. The original motor mounts used on the earlier cars were simply two pieces of metal with rubber molded in between - there was no interlocking feature. GM went through a massive recall in the 60s to repair broken motor mounts of this design. As a result, the big block cars, starting in 1969, got the interlocking design. Unfortunately, this design required the motor mount to be taller, so the frame mount was changed to move the cross bolt (the bolt that attaches the motor mount to the frame mount) further down on the frame mount. The 64-68 (and 69 small block) frame mounts have the cross bolt hole about 1 1/2" down from the centerline of the two top bolts that attach the frame mount to the crossmember. On the 69-72 big block mounts, this dimension is about 2 1/4". The rubber motor mounts are correspondingly different (the 69-72 big block motor mount is about 1" taller than the 64-68 V8 (and 69 small block) mounts.
In 1970, Olds redesigned the small block mounts to also incorporate the interlocking feature, but did this in a way that did not require the cross bolt to be moved. Thus the 70-72 small block frame mounts still use the 1 1/2" dimension. There is, however, a difference between the 70-72 small block mounts and the 64-68 V8 (and 69 small block) frame mounts. The raised pad is smaller and biased towards the top of the mount. Thus, I do not think it is possible to use the 70-72 small block motor mounts on the 64-68 frame pads. On the other hand, it probably _is_ possible to use the 68-68 V8 (and 69 small block) mounts on the 70-72 frame mounts.
Finally, starting in 73 Olds realized that there was no reason to maintain two different motor mount designs and went back to using a common motor and frame mount design on both big and small blocks.
And one more word of advice. Don't rely on any catalog, other than the factory parts catalog, to tell you what motor mounts fit where. As I noted in a prior post, the Sealed Power catalog is flat wrong.
Identifying Frame Pads:
You can check by measuring from the center of the two top bolts that hold the mount to the frame to the center of the cross bolt that attaches the frame mount to the motor mount. The big block frame mounts will measure about 2 1/4", while small block mounts will measure about 1 1/2". Whichever ones you have (big or small block), get the motor mounts to match.
When bolting the motor mounts to the block, there are three tapped holes on each side. The front two are for full size cars, the back two for F-85's.
The 1970-earlier B/C body cars use a motor mount that is completely different from the A-body mounts. The rubber mount has a threaded stud that fits into a hole in the frame. A nut is installed from the underside. One other wrinkle is that some B/C body cars DO use a 1" shim under one motor mount (see notes on the Cutlass offset engine myth.) If the shim is there on the 350, use it in the same place on the 455. Also, note that B/C body motor mounts bolt to the forward two of the three bosses on each side of the block. The A-body cars use the rear two bosses.
Q) Are the 69 onward small block motor and frame mounts exactly the same as the early "one size fits all V8's" units.
A) The answer unfortunately is no. The 69-up small block mounts are not the same as the 68-down universal mounts. The net combination of matched motor and frame mounts for a specific year is always the same, but the individual parts may be different from year-to-year.
Q) What is the earliest year motor and frame mounts that will put a V8 into an A-Body?
A) 1964 330 motor and frame mounts used as a matched set will install any 64-up (except, of course, the 394) Olds V8 in a 64 A-body. Ditto for 65, 66, etc.
Q) Are there any better quality mounts or mounts to avoid?
A) General concensus is that the G.M. rubber mounts (made in the U.S.A.) are the best rubber ones. Also, for reference, the Mondello SM300 mounts appear to be solid versions of the Sealed Power 270-2261 mounts and SM400's appear to be the solid version of the 270-2328.
A-body, G-body

If you want to know what length pump you need for the pulleys your using, **with the pump off the engine, find a friend, hold your pump pully with the belts installed where your water pump would normally position it, using straightedge position the pulley for a straight belt, measure from the inside of the pump pully mount flange, to the water pump mount. The difference between the lengths are noticable enough.
The 65 pumps I have measure, A/C or heavy duty 5.945 to 5.948 65 non ac no hd cooling 5.071
To add a little more light on the sbject, this info aplies to 65 to 70 olds v8`s. AND probably more years.
There are actually three different Olds water pump lengths. The measurement you care about is from the gasket surface of the pump (with the gasket removed) to the front face of the flange that the spacer or fan clutch bolts to. The three pump sizes are:
5.947" - all Olds motors with A/C
5.572" - B and C body without A/C
5.072" - A and E body without A/C
Note that the "with" or "without A/C" really applies to the pulley set that you are using. The pulleys and accessory brackets are designed to match the pump, so if your car had A/C and you removed it but are still using the A/C accessory brackets and pulleys, get the A/C pump.
Some HD cooling cars used the longer A/C style water pump even though they did not have A/C. Mike Dulak

ALSO: They NEVER made a 442 emblem that was red, orange & YELLOW. For some reason I see a lot of repainted original emblems with the "2" painted YELLOW. (notice the side scoop above) Note: The air cleaner "pie pan" DOES have a YELLOW 2.
Another of my pet peaves is, every magazine article including the OCA's JWO (who should know better) have a yellow 2. Haven't any of them seen a 442 emblem?
Frame Identification:
The frames "ARE" different... A true 442 has 4 holes where the rear-end upper control arm bolts to the frame (note: 10 bolt rears are in the 3rd hole from the top, 12 bolts are in the 2nd), the non 442 has only 1 hole. You can see the difference in the pictures below. This can't be counterfited without cutting and welding connecting points to the frame or trying to accurately drill the other holes. ( The top & bottom holes were non-functional, since there were none on the opposite side that matched up with them.) Note: On the drivers side frame, just ahead of the central body mount is the car's vin number stamped into the top. You may have to remove the body, scrape off the paint to find it. Go to the frame page for detailed pictures and info.
Correct Tailpipes:
This is the ONLY correct tailpipe for the 65 442. Notice the double crimps and the stainless tip. These pipes came as original equipment. They were very hard to find from a dealer as a part item. The right side is numbered 390178 and the left is 390179. These numbers can be found on top at ther rear tip.

This chart will help you decipher what engine type your have in your Cutlass. While the data is somewhat inconclusive, it provides an overall point of reference for engine decoding. If you have information to fill in the gaps or see an error, please contact me.
In order to figure out what block you have in your car, you must locate the Casting Number. This can be found at the front of the engine on a flat surface behind the timing chain area. ( See picture at top of page) Look to the right (if facing the fan) of the oil filler tube and you will see the stamping on the block. This number should match one of those below. Remember, big blocks are identified by a letter for the ID Code, while small blocks carry a number.

Information gathered from various books and individuals. Credit goes out to the FAQ compilers at 442.com
This is the correct air cleaner used on the 65 442. It has more of a stainless look, rather than shiny chrome.
Boxed lower control arms were included with the 442 package and were not used on the standard F-85 and Cutlass models.
Things to look for when buying a 442. If they are missing or incorrect, find out why.
Rear Panel Moulding:
As you can see by my pencil marks, the 442 emblem will cover up the F-85 and Cutlass mounting holes, so you can use any panel on your 442. You simply have to drill 2 new holes.
Interior Chrome & Seat Variations:
Notice the side trim on the seats are different. The Convertible and Holiday Coupes have a brushed look with squared top and pleated seat coverings and the Sport Coupe is shiny with a rounded, pointed top and square tufted seat coverings with buttons.
Thanx to:
Kurt Shubert & Mike Stilwell for their contributions of accessory codes and more.
F-85
Cutlass
Head Light Bezels & Grill Paint Scheme:
The 442 head light bezels have a slightly different paint scheme. The one on the left is from a 442. Notice that only the two horizontal bars closest to the center have chrome exposed (same as the grill), where the non 442 models (bezel on the right) have chrome showing on all bars and blackened in between.
Notice the cross member, at the rear spring perches, on the 442 (left) has a lip in the center (for no apparent reason) and the regular Cutlass and F-85 (right) do not.
Note: The convertible frame is very similar in appearance to the heavy duty 442, but the rear frame number is ......
9777400 S NOT 9780503 S which designates the convertible 442.

4 Speed Shifter Handle Variations:
The shifter on the left is from a 65 bench seat & the one on the right is from the bucket seat model (with or without console). They both have "442" engraved on both sides. 66 models and up have the Hurst "H" engraved under the "442". The insert shows how they bolted to the shifter linkage unlike the later model which pinned to the Hurst shifter.
The "Frame Number" on the left rear of the frame just forward ot the tailpipe hanger holes is unique to the 442. The center picture shows the location and the left & right pictures are from 2 different cars. Both contain 3864503 S coupe or 9780503 S convertible.

Air Cleaner Pie Pan:
These are the two different air cleaner plates found on two different original 442's. ( they are NOT decals ) They are made of a thicker aluminum and held down by a chrome center disk. The one on the right is always accompanied by the "Ultra High Compression" sticker. Both are correct, but the one on the left is more common, at least in my area. As noted earlier "the 2 IS YELLOW" I don't get it!
o
65 Correct Wheel Covers:
These are the two different Hub Caps found on the 65 442's. ( there are more ) The spoked cap has the two bar spinner ( 66's have 3 bars ). The Dog Dish Hub Caps pictured are correct for 65 and are always accompanied by steel wheels ( R code ) painted the body color. These were not the only hubcap options.
Correct Oil Caps:
These are the two different Oil Caps found on the 65 442's. The one on the left is for the Lansing built cars and the one on the right ( Top Hat Style ) is for the Fremont built cars with the closed PVC system. It is also found on the 66's and up.
One of the hardest things, for most people, is to identify a clone. I hope this helps.
The 65 442 ONLY came with the 400 cu in engine. There were no 330's, 425's or 455's, only 400's. There are myths & urban legends that say some very early 442's may have come with 425s. This has NEVER been documented and the only way to do this would be with the original window sticker or build sheet. The simple truth is that when the 400's were blown, the only dealer replacement available at the time, was the 425 and this accounts for some early 425's being found. They NEVER shipped from the factory with them..
Engine casting number:
The engine casting number is located behind water pump, on top of the timing chain housing, in plain sight. The 400 cid engine has 389298 B cast in large raised letters.
Head Identification:
Both heads have a large raised "A" cast on the left side of each, left of the spark plug hole.
The right head will contain an Engine Unit Number stamping begining with "V". This number is stamped (not cast ) into a flat machined pad on the front of the head. The heads could have been swapped at some point in time so it could be on the rear of the left. It should always start with a "V"

and PCV valves. These two items are found only on late build '65 442s.
Carburetor datatag numbers are ( Air conditioned 7025151 ) ( Non-Air Conditioned 7025150 ) The only functional difference appears to be the presence of a "hot idle compensator valve" on the 7025151 model. These units had the plugs on the front for access to the jets, which can be easily seen.
Emblem Location & Identification:
The (Red - Dark Orange - Bright Orange) 442 emblems are located on the Grill, Tail Panel, Side Scoops, and Dash. The 4 speed shifter handle has 442 ingraved on each side. Later models had the Hurst emblem under the 442, NOT the 65. The Heavy Duty M-14 3 speed did use a complete Hurst shifter & gate, which had the word "HURST" spelled out.
442's built in Lansing, Michigan have a "4V" on the firewall data plate. ( 4 is the column number ) "V" signifies that side scoops and all 442 (W-29) related items were installed . If you have "HV", it means you also had the thin upper body chrome running along the side of the car. "HVC" designates top door sill and thin body chrome were added plus W-29 option. 442's built in Fremont, California, "DO NOT" have the 4V or any definitive codes identifying it as a 442 on the dataplate.
Lansing Data Plate
Fremont Data Plate
Dataplate Clarification:
The first thing that needs cleared up is the firewall Dataplate. The two examples below are Lansing, Michigan and Fremont, California. The dataplate on the left is from Lansing and Always has the 4V to identify the 442 option. The one on the right is the Fremont dataplate. Yes it does say "LANSING, MICHIGAN" but it is the Fremont, California plate. The "BF" after the word "BODY" is the Fremont Plant code. California built cars are the only ones that have "Magic Mirror Acrylic Laquer" on the bottom. There is no way to identify a 442 from this plate, only the frame variations will authenticate a 442.
N-98 Chrome Reversed Wheels:
Oldsmobile actually offered a chrome reverse wheel as an option in 1965, the N98. Click on any picture below to see the information.
Models & Chrome Options
442 Driveshaft:
This is the correct driveshaft for the 65 442. It is a solid tube which necks down at both ends. It is a larger diameter than the standard F-85 and Cutlass shafts. Some of the non 442 shafts have a rubber sleve to damper vibration, but were never used on the 442 due to the increase horsepower and torque developed by the 400 engine.

How Long and How Far Can Horses Run?
“I was watching a western and in it the horses seemed able to run a long time. How far or how long can horses actually run in a day?” The first place the Newton Falls Public Library staff checked was in the library’s collection of horse books. Both Horses for Dummies by Audrey Pavia and The Complete Horse Book had sections about endurance racing. In this type of competition, the horse and rider attempt to cover a set number of miles in the shortest time. Most consist of 50 – 100 mile per day rides, or multi-day rides covering 50 miles a day over four to six days. A special endurance saddle is used as the rider has to spend long periods of time sitting on it. According to The Encyclopedia of the Horse by Elwyn Hartley Edwards [p.356], in 1919 “the United States Cavalry conducted endurance tests to assess the quality of . . . horses as remounts.” They had to cover 300 miles in 5 days, while carrying 200-245 pounds.
Searching online for farthest running horse brings up a website [ www.frankhopkins.com] which includes an article written by Anthony Amaral in Western Horseman Magazine [1969],“Frank Hopkins. . . Best of Endurance Riders?” Frank Hopkins rode in approximately 400 endurance races including in 1890 a 3,000 mile one in Arabia on the western mustang, Hidalgo, against Arabian desert horses. In the “Brains Plus Endurance" by Charles B. Roth [The Horse–Official Journal of the U.S. Remount Service 1935], Hopkins is quoted saying he once rode a horse 124 miles in 20 hours. Today there are very strict rules and training guidelines for those wishing to participate in endurance riding. Depending on the event, qualifying rides may be required, as well as mandatory stops for veterinary checks of the animals. More information can be learned about the classic races in The Complete Horse Book and the Equiworld website [ www.equiworld.net/endurance ].
One of the most memorable uses of endurance running by men was the Pony Express. From April 1860 to October 1861, the riders carried mail from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California. In Stagecoaches and the Pony Express by Sally Senzell Isaacs, the horses usually only ran 10 miles at a time, while riders rode about 75 miles before passing on the saddlebag.

Which Direction Does a Wren House Face?
“I was given a new wren house. I know that it has to face in a certain direction; what is it?” The Newton Falls Public Library staff enjoys these interesting questions about birds. Many of us didn’t realize that birdhouses had to hang facing in certain directions.
The Birder’s Miscellany: a fascinating collection of facts, figures, and folklore from the world of birds by Scott Weidensaul states that the overall dimensions of the nest box of a house wren should be 8”H X 5.5”W X 4”D with an entrance hole of 1.25”. It should be placed head-high in the yard or garden [p. 125]. Edward A. Baldwin’s Birdfeeders, Shelters & Baths has some very creative bird houses and feeders including ones which would be excellent projects to make with children. He also has ideas for keeping predators at bay.
The Audubon North American Birdfeeder Guide by Robert Burton and Stephen W. Kress has a chapter on nest boxes: selecting ones to attract certain birds, box design, positioning, cleaning, maintenance, building, and garden threats. Burton and Kress state that house wrens are hole-nesters who like enclosed boxes attached to garden fence posts or in or near shrubbery or the edge of a forest, rather than open nesters like robins. They also have good suggestions for making your garden bird friendly, including protecting them from threats. For bluebirds and tree swallows they suggest that box entrances face east in order to be warmed by the morning sun, but say nothing about the placement of house wren boxes. The Audubon North American Birdfeeder Guide has an excellent chapter on house wrens. This bird with the cheerful song is friendly to gardeners, eating many insects including grasshoppers, gypsy moths, cabbage butterflies, ticks and flies. The wren usually bears two clutches of eggs each year, so it is still not too late to get a house up in time for the laying of the second clutch.
While we’ve learned a lot about wrens, the patron’s question still has not been answered. It is time to search the Internet. The website, ChestOfBooks.com has books which can be read online for free. Carpentry and Mechanics For Boys by A. Neely Hall has a chapter on Wren Houses [http://chestofbooks.com/home-improvement/woodworking/Carpentry-and-Mechanics-For-Boys/Chapter-XXXVI-Wren-Houses.html]. This has very detailed information about wrens and their choice of house. It also states that they prefer that the opening of the house to face east. The patron had the information she needed and was heading outside to put up her new house.

How Long Do Bluegill Live?
“I stocked my pond with bluegill a few years ago and I’d like to know how long they live.”
Our extensive collection of gardening books at the Newton Falls Public Library includes several on water gardening, such as Helen Nash’s The Pond Doctor, Richard Bird’s Water Gardens, and Peter Robinson’s Complete Guide to Water Gardening. However, these books all dealt more with the ornamental kinds of fish such as goldfish and koi. We couldn’t find any mention of bluegill in David Alderton’s Encyclopedia of Aquarium and Pond Fish either.
Fortunately, searching online brought up the answer. According to the BioKIDS website (which is run by the University of Michigan), bluegill typically live from four to six years in the wild, although in captivity they can get to be as old as eleven.
For more information on enjoying a pond, including tips, lore, and recipes for fish, frogs, and crawdads, Louise Riotte’s Catfish Ponds & Lily Pads is available for borrowing.

Negative Impacts
<< prev
next >>
Despite the steamboat's enormous benefits, it also had several negative impacts.
For example, "steam propulsion is inherently dangerous, and the early steam engines could be a problem. To power a steam engine, you must produce heat to boil water and make steam. You must then pressurize the steam. It is the pressure, trapped in boilers, that creates the power to drive a piston and subsequently a wheel. In days when metallurgy was not as advanced, engineers had to estimate how much pressure boilers could withstand. They didn't always estimate correctly, as explosions were common" (Willis). Furthermore, "steamboats were fast and sometimes the speed could be deadly. There were crashes and explosions including the 1865 Sultana disaster in which over 1,700 people, most of them Union soldiers recently released from prison, died" (Woollard). The Sultana tragedy has been called "the worst maritime disaster in American history" (Kinsall).
"From 1811 to 1851, boiler explosions caused almost one quarter (21%) of river accidents. Because of all the dangers, steamboats did not last long. It was rare for a steamboat to last five years. The years between 1830 and 1839 saw the destruction of 272 steamboats after less than three years of travel each" ("A History of Steamboats").
(Source: "S.S. Sultana: America's Titanic"; StrangeHistory.org)
The Sultana Tragedy
Steamboats "were also an environmental menace, destroying riverbank ecosystems and contributing to both air and water pollution. Nature was seen as a thing to be tamed rather than protected by most" (Woollard). Coal, a primary fuel for steam engines, "requires large quantities of water, which affects the habitats of both aquatic and land-based wildlife as well as people who use these water resources. The process of burning coal for energy produces greenhouse gases and other harmful pollutants, including carbon dioxide, mercury compounds, sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. . . . coal produces more pollution than any other fuel source . . . In addition, all steps of coal energy production -- mining, transportation and cleaning -- produce greenhouse gas emissions. Coal contains methane, a combustible and potent greenhouse gas" (Lerche).
Additionally, steamboats faced attacks by Native Americans, who felt intruded by settlers. "Often, Indians would hide along the banks of a river and begin shooting at a boat when it got close enough. If a boat wrecked near the bank, the ship would certainly lose its cargo. The crew and passengers might even lose their lives" ("A History of Steamboats").
"Steam had the advantage of endurance; and the Indians with wild shouts, which might have been shouts of defiance, gave up the pursuit, and turned into the forest from whence they had emerged…Mrs. Roosevelt and himself were still discussing the adventure when they retired to rest. They had scarcely fallen asleep, when they were aroused by shouts on deck, and the trampling of many feet. With the idea of Indians still predominant, Mr. Roosevelt sprang from his bed, and seizing a sword - - the only weapon at hand - - hurried from the cabin to join battle, as he thought with the Chickasaws. It was a more alarming enemy that he encountered. The New Orleans was on fire…By dint of great exertion, the fire, which, by this time, was making rapid headway, was extinguished; but not until the interior wood work had been either destroyed, or grievously defaced…Few eyes were closed for the remainder of the night; nor did the accident tend to tranquilize the nerves of the travelers".
- J.H.B Latrobe describing an Indian attack on the New Orleans

The End of an Era
<< prev
next >>
The steamboat era finally ended in the 20th century, largely due to the railroad. "Although steamboats ruled trade and travel in the 1800s and early 1900s, newer and cheaper forms of transportation eventually replaced them. Steamboats began experiencing competition from railroads as early as the 1830s. This competition increased in the years before the Civil War. By 1880 there were around 93,000 miles of tracks, and the trains took away much of the steamboats’ business" ("A History of Steamboats").
Revolution of Transportation
(Source: "Smith, Calvin J. 'New England, New-York and Canada.' Map")
"These early uses of railways gave little hint that a revolution in methods of transportation was underway. James Watt's improvements in the steam engine were adapted by John Fitch in 1787 to propel a ship on the Delaware River. . . Fitch, an American inventor and surveyor, had published his "Map of the Northwest" two years earlier to finance the building of a commercial steamboat. With Robert Fulton's Clermont and a boat built by John Stevens, the use of steam power for vessels became firmly established. Railroads and steam propulsion developed separately, and it was not until the one system adopted the technology of the other that railroads began to flourish" (Smith).
"As the railroad became the preferred mode of transport, steamboats became primarily used for transporting cotton bales but that business faded out as well. Eventually the Mississippi, once bustling with steamboat traffic, was home to just a few steaming up and down the river" (Woollard). "In the 20th century, with the invention of automobiles and airplanes, steamboats became obsolete. Most were retired and scrapped" ("A History of Steamboats").
However, steamboats nonetheless left a lasting legacy.
(Source: Konrad; gCaptain)
Types Of Ships – A Master List Of Vessel Types
Steamboat technology eventually led to oceangoing steamships. Then, instead of steam engines, ships began to use "reciprocating diesel engines to generate power for propulsion. Modern . . . ships use either gas turbine or diesel electric engines as their power source for propulsion" (Briggs). Many types of ships developed, including commercial, fishing, naval, and cruise ships (Konrad). Some steamboats are still used today, but only for recreation. "Nevertheless, they will always remain one of the most important advances in transportation technology" ("A History of Steamboats").

Westward Expansion
The steamboat played an important role in America’s westward expansion. “Steamboats [were\ . . . instrumental in assisting in the exploration and settlement and the expansion of the American continent. Many explorers and family units would use this transportation on part of their journey west” (Howard). Moreover, “the transportation revolution in the United States had been spurred by the desire of the Easterners to tap into all that the west had to offer. . . . By 1860, more than one-half of the American population was located west of the Appalachian Mountains. . . . The Mississippi River and its tributaries provided a natural highway for western commerce. . . . [Steamboats\ stimulated the agricultural economy of the west by providing better access to markets at a lower cost. Farmers quickly bought land near navigable rivers, because they could now easily ship their produce out” (Aboukhadijeh). As such, westward expansion and economic growth were closely linked. Towns alongside rivers were successfully urbanized and commercialized. “Villages at strategic points along the waterways evolved into centers of commerce and urban life. In the 1830s and 1840s, the port of New Orleans grew to lead all others in exports. . . . The movement of goods over long distances to the various regions required a supporting infrastructure, which stimulated the growth of market towns where merchants, bankers, warehousemen, retailers, and other middlemen provided the services needed to move the goods from producers to consumers. More extensive markets increased competition, pushing manufacturers to produce better and cheaper products in order to capture a larger share of the market” (Aboukhadijeh).
(Source: "Population Growth of Selected Western States, 1800-1850"; Columbia University in the City of New York)
Population Growth between 1800 and 1850 as a Result of Steamboat Expansion.
“Transportation innovations encouraged a new sense of connectedness among Americans, encouraging a deeper sense of nationalism. The transportation revolution pushed nineteenth-century America through the process of integrating an entire continent into a single cultural and economic entity” (Aboukhadijeh).

Negative Impacts
1982 Israeli Invasion of Lebanon
Military Aid to Egypt
| Negative Impacts - The Camp David Accords
Negative Impacts
The Camp David Accords reduced tensions on Israel's Egyptian border, allowing the movement of their forces to the Lebanese border. Additionally, i ncreased U.S. aid to Egypt strengthened the Egyptian regime's power, slowing the transition to a more democratic government.
1982 Israeli Invasion of Lebanon
ABOVE: soldier seizes Lebanese woman during invasion of Lebanon
" Israel no longer faced an Egyptian front, so it made it easier for Israel to use its military elsewhere in the region, i.e. the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon (Camp David is not the only reason for that invasion, but it was a factor. The invasion cost some 15,000 lives). So there is a counter argument to the positives of the peace accord that it actually freed Israel's military to create problems elsewhere. "
- Email Interview: Peter Moore, CWRU Department of History
Eventually, Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982.
" Violence escalated with a series of PLO attacks and Israeli reprisals. Finally, the United States helped broker a cease-fire agreement in July 1981. The PLO repeatedly violated the cease-fire over the ensuing 11 months. Israel charged that the PLO staged 270 terrorist actions in Israel, the West Bank and Gaza, and along the Lebanese and Jordanian borders. Twenty nine Israelis died and more than 300 were injured in the attacks." - Policy Analyst Mitchell Bard

Scenes from Israeli Invasion of Lebanon
Military Aid to Egypt
Critics have argued that the Camp David Accords strengthened the dictators in Egypt.
" This participation in Egyptian authoritarianism has not been all-determining or immutable. Rather, the United States has shaped the regime's longevity and posture in specific and contestable ways. The United States has protected Egyptian rulers from foreign threats, heavily subsidized the Egyptian armed forces, and bolstered the Egyptian security services. "
- Jason Brownlee in Democracy Prevention: The Politics of the US-Egyptian alliance
ABOVE: Protests during 2011 Revolution
Specifically, U.S. military aid made it more difficult for democratic transitions to happen until recently in 2011.
ABOVE: Man during the 2011 Revolution
" Although Carter prided himself on being a human rights advocate, he refrained from criticizing Sadat about his plebiscites, censorship, and police repression. In fact, he depended on Sadat's autocratic prerogatives to conclude the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty. The domestic repercussions of this approach proved more than Sadat's presidency could withstand. The U.S. aid program for Egypt aimed to keep the military loyal and the people quiet. Advanced jets and tanks would deter the European army from turning against Sadat and back to the Soviets, while economic support funds would prevent a popular revolt. But, while U.S. officials helped Sadat avoid the fate of the Shah, the violence they enabled and encouraged brought other risks for their Egyptian partner. "
- Jason Browlee in Democracy Prevention: The Politics of the US-Egyptian Alliance
Despite these, overwhelming evidence suggests that the negatives were far outweighed by the prospects of peace (discussed on next page).

What is 45 File?
File extensions help computers locate correct application for specific files. Operating systems will not look into the content of the files to be opened, but instead, it will immediately locate the file extension of the file and locate for associated application that can open 45 files. This helps the computer to organize its functions and work much faster. Most operating systems (Windows) require the use of file extensions, but others do not (Unix).
These file extensions are also beneficial for us. By simply looking at the filename, we can determine what type of information is stored to that and what applications can open these files. Have you noticed that when your computer acquires an unknown file, it will ask your permission to look for associated program to open it or look for these programs over the Internet? Yes! These file extensions make the work of the computer easy. Once there is no application associated with the file, then the computer will immediately ask the users assistance to help look for the source files.
