*Stylist for a day
Log on and chime in with your good fashion sense to answer these questions on
the forum. Fashion's not an exact science, so let's see how many different
opinions we can get:
--- Are hose with sneakers OK?
http://www.delphi.com/ab-fashion/messages/?msg=223.1&ctx=1
--- Can I wear white sandals with dark jeans?
http://www.delphi.com/ab-fashion/messages/?msg=219.1&ctx=1
--- How do you know if something is worth buying and for its price?

*Get fit! Find your size
Before you start shopping online, you need to know your measurements to get
great fit. So grab a tapemeasure and a buddy, and start measuring up.

----------------Style snippet-------------------------
The weather's hot, but the calendar stills says it's spring. What to wear?
Seasonal fashion like white shoes, seersucker suits and linen styles baffle more
people than just about any other sartorial uncertainty. Technically, if you go
by the old rules, you're OK wearing white shoes now (after Easter, before Labor
Day). As for linens and seersucker, these are just fabrics, so use your common
sense -- if it's warm, it's OK to wear them. Nobody ever asks when it's
acceptable to do fuzzy wool sweaters -- you just know! My vote's on applying the
same logic to warm weather wear. Disagree? Put your two cents' worth on the
forum,
