One of the best investments you can make this season is a sculpted little dress. Also known as the structured little dress, this new trend is about making bold but impressive statements on the runway. The silhouette is all about clear lines but dramatic pieces, with draping. It also comes with ruffles, peplum waists and bold shoulders. For colours, black is basically the best way to go, but if not an option for your skintone, then choose a sculpted dress in one of this season’s bold bright colors.

Ruffle blouses are versatile staples in a woman’s wardrobe. They are timeless pieces and curve _flattering. Because they add detail to one’s outfit, there should therefore be only one detail at a time. Avoid ruffles that will make you appear being choked.

I have four sons from Lawrenta Omono my only wife, and I have fears for them when it comes to “Time To Get Married”. Those fears come from my experiences in my Counseling Room. I sit back and I listen to females tell me about how they have slept with a minimum of 25 Men, and what comes to my mind is, that means when she is getting married, her own husband who should be the only one to have slept with her if we go by God’s original plan will probably be the 31st Man sleeping with her, and I wonder what is left of the wholeness that she should have brought to her husband in Marriage.
