More Spring/Summer Fashion Ideas though the Signs 2010: Cancer, Leo, Virgo by Annalisa
Astrology And Fashion
Cancer: Cancer girls are always girls no matter what the age and that is a good thing. Spring is a great time for you to show off yourself and let yourself go a bit. Many Cancers like an animal print so remember the rule with animal prints: a little bit goes a long way. Anyone can wear an animal print if you remember the rule and use it in moderation. An animal print purse with an outfit or a blouse that has an animal print paired with a bright spring color. Don’t rule out animal prints until you try one somewhere in your wardrobe because you have the savvy to wear them!
For Spring and Summer why not try a belted tunic? Lots of Cancers like to flatter the bust and a belted tunic does great things for a bust line and looks new with leggings since they are short. Choose one that is in a print that is colorful but not too large a print and use a wide belt and you’re ready to go! There are great flirty skirts out these days in bright colors and they look new too with a wide belt and a T. or a fitted shirt of some kind. Choose a flippy skirt with lots of fabric and keep it on the short side. This sort of look is for any age and all you do to tweak it is to lower the hem a bit if you are older but stay above the knee at all costs. If you can wear a short skirt, nothing looks newer than a flippy skirt with a short or tucked in top and wide woven leather belt.
Many of you are heels women so you might consider that wedges really never go out of style and invest in a pair of summer wedges that have some sort of woven part to them. A woven sole or woven straps look springy and look great with the above styles.
Since you sometimes like the lower cut blouses or halters, nothing looks newer than a boxy jacket that is a bit rough around the edges and in a natural color so it works over all your clothing. What looks great is to have your lower cut tops or more revealing halters covered slightly by a rougher jacket to have opposites flaunt one another. Choose a soft fabric for your jacket and make sure it is the type of fabric that wears well and can be washed and worn over and over again while it gets softer each time!
I love the look, on Cancer girls, of using a small scarf as a head band and having your hair natural and wavy under the head band. Use the scarf as you would a head band but leave your hair a bit messy underneath and you’ll look fresh and sexy. Play with hair accessories leaving your hair not so “done,” and you’ll have found this season’s “look.” Also, think of buying a pair of summer sandals that tie up the leg with a ribbon. Cancer girls can pull of the girly things so well and do so with class so why not try a few of these styles on and see how the change suits you? So long as you have a jacket on over some of these ideas they can even go to work with you!
Leo: Leos, let’s start with your hair; you love it and it loves you. Spring is the time to add highlights to hair that flatter your face and your eyes. If you have light eyes your highlights should have a few pieces that frame your face and add light to it. Your eyes will pop and your skin will have sheen if you have a few highlights put near your eyes and framing your face. If you have dark eyes you want to keep a bit of your natural color near your eyes so they show up and have depth and have your highlights start a bit away from your face. You should try highlights that are a bit back from your eyes but still visible so that you have a shine on your skin that it healthy and sexy. Always keep a bit of your natural color or darker color near your face to set off your eyes and skin for lighter pieces near your dark eyes can wash you out and take away some of the depth of your lovely dark eyes. Red is a highlight that is popular with brunettes but there are shades of caramel that look great now if used in moderation. Wide highlights are not so “in,” these days but thin and strong highlights can give you drama that you love and prepare you for the season. Remember that styles that pull your hair to the side are very hip at this time so try a sexy ponytail to the side leaving some pieces out or try an updo that is natural looking and that pulls slightly to the side for a new look.
Flirty dresses look great on you and strappy dresses are the best for you. Try a dress with straps that has ruffles that start below the hips. Ruffles on the hips add weight and don’t accent your body so make sure the ruffles are in the right place for your figure.
A tan is a great thing for dramatic Leo and there are many ways to safely tan now. You can go all the way and try a spray tan at a spa or use a product that builds a tan to your tastes. There are products that you apply daily until the shade is dark enough for you and you can. In this way, tailor your tan to your liking.
Leo looks great with a tan and gold. Gold is your color and gold is very happening right now. Gold jewelry in the way of gold hoop earrings look great on you and gold necklaces and bracelets look great on you too! Try a new sequined top with gold details in the way of a T. shirt and take your gold to a level that is “street,” and evening depending on what you wear it with. You can wear your gold embellished T. in the day with your jeans or white pants and wear flats or low heels and take it into night by adding heels and changing your hair and your makeup. You are a great candidate for the cherry red lip that is “right now,” and it’s worn with or without a tan and with very little other make up. The cherry red lip is dramatic and looks smashing with gold worn in any way.
There are some great gladiator sandals that are really sexy out right now in every price point and they are a great way for you to express yourself. You can find them in flats or with heels depending on your taste and they accent your leg and foot very nicely. You should always have your toes done and put them in the new gladiator look and you have made a statement with just that move. If you change your shoe you change your look and the look above is very dramatic and very “you.”
If you part your hair on the side a new look for you could be to move your part farther to the side. It’s a new look to move the side part way over to the side to give a more intense look to your hair. I like this look and Leos often have the hair to try this. If you do move your part remember that “done” hair is not so hip at this point and working with your natural wave or lack of is the way to go at this time. Play with your hair by washing it and looking at it as it dries to see how it naturally moves and looks without a blow-dryer or straightened Do this natural dry process with your hairdresser and you can come up with ideas of how to wear or cut your hair to flatter you and take steps out of dressing every day. Remember to wash you hair, if you color it, about twice a week, and if you wet your hair every day try to wash it only with conditioner and leave the shampoo to twice a week to strengthen your hair as well as preserve your color and keep it true. Once you are used to washing your hair less you will find it healthier and prettier sooner rather than later. Happy Springing!
Virgo: Lovely Virgos, you have a tendency to find your “uniform” and wear it without thinking twice because the very idea of shopping for “new” looks can stress you out. The mind is sexy and Virgos can be sexy as can be if they feel sexy. Why not look in that mirror and decide to dress and adorn yourself how you see fit and FEELING sexy because that’s all it takes to make you pretty and sexy!
Let’s think about the uniform… You might like to try to look at the new spring and summer suits that are made of flirty skirts and jackets that can be worn as a top so you can forget about finding an undershirt. There are some great new Summer and Spring suits in bright or light colors that are adorable and remind me of the Virgo girl of any age. These are made also of the new baggier pant and a jacket of the same color that look so pulled together but so effortless. You can find them in any price point and they are so cute and sexy and easy to wear. Try looking at designer clothing on line and finding a cut you like and then looking at your favorite store for the same cut because you WILL find it copied and copied right away in the same season. Knock offs are fast now and happen right away giving us the option of wearing the latest look without spending a lot of cash. You would look adorable in a little Spring or Summer suit and you can switch them up and wear this color with that to make them more practical. Practical is your catch word when it comes to clothing and since the yoga pant is being used less and less it’s time to try a different look on, and that gives you a headache at times. Time to try something new and see what the new “you” looks like!
Another option for you is a Spring dress in cotton that has simple lines and is a “no-brainer,” as they say in the business, because you pull it over your head and off you go! These dresses are made of jersey and come in all colors or multicolored and look smashing on everyone. You can wear them in whatever colors you wear best and they are usually machine washable if you use the gentle cycle and don’t dry them in the dryer. Stay away from linen as you would hate the natural wrinkling of linen and so the look is not really something you would like. Jersey dresses come out every Spring for everyone to enjoy and you are a lady and love to appear as one without all the work and sweat it takes to try too many clothes on. Go after the jersey dress with an open mind and see if you can find a few that change it up for you.
Now is the time for you to get used to your natural hair texture and to get accustomed to product. Find a hairstyle that uses a little bit of product to help it dry into its look and free yourself from “filing” your hair into its style with tools.
As for your makeup, you prefer natural looking makeup and Spring is the time to put some color on your lips in a rose color so it looks natural and some brown/tan blush on your cheeks to fake a tan and look refreshed. You want to make sure you take the time to shape or have your eyebrows shaped so that they look neat and use a bit of brown powder on your eyebrows to make them a bit more noticeable because the brow is back and you look great in it! There is nothing sexier than a natural Virgo using all their natural assets and the above way of making yourself up is the perfect way to use your own beauty in the best way. No muss, no fuss, just a few brushes of makeup here and there to show your best features and make you glow for the season!
I also would suggest you look into the “boyfriend cardigan” because it looks great over all those jersey dresses and if you decline the new suits it will give you a pulled together look no matter what you wear! The cardigan is oversized but fits in the arms and hangs a bit longer than your usual cardigan. It dresses up dresses and T.’s and works with just about any outfit you find yourself in. Buy one or two in your favorite colors so they go with all your clothing and wear them daily for a uniformed look that says “now!”

Hey, Annalisa! I work from home and am therefore rather behind the fashion times (I was never one to jump on new trends too quickly anyway).
So I was wondering, where does one go when one wants to be updated on what’s hot and what’s not? Thanks!
PS: (I meant with photo images of the latest styles)
Hey Bananas- I know Annalisa will have just the place to send you… but, I thought I might throw in my sister’s strategy (she admits to not knowing anything about fashion)… She goes into the really, really expensive stores, checks out the mannequins, then heads for one of the discount/outlet stores and tries to replicate the look. Works for her, she always looks great!
Hey Bananas, here are a couple of fashion links for you. Lookbook in particular is WAY too young for me, but it’s helpful to know what the cool kids are wearing and adjust accordingly.

http://www.zoozoom.com/

Also don’t forget Vogue.com and Elle.com if you want to see photos of runway styles. And Women’s Wear Daily has a Facebook page.
Thanks for the advice, ladies… Jessica, I’ll check out these links you posted when I get back from running the dogs! And I agree with AL, Cancers are always true girls when it comes down to it. Love their style.
Style.com is the be all, end all for seeing designers lines. After looking, you can find the same styles at prices you like. you want to remember that the runway is about taking pieces and putting them with pieces you already have not wearing them together like on the runway where shock rules.
You can build your lookbook on style.com too and look back to see what shapes and colors you liked.
A.
Thanks for the links!
oh no, you called me on the uniform! though i have been trying to spice it up. sometimes new jewelry goes a long way too.
Cool, thanks!
Wow, I can’t even believe the back-and-forth over skinny pants vs. flares! http://www.style.com/stylefile/2010/04/the-flare-essentials/
Bananas,
Skinny jeans have gone the way of leggings and will be with us forever but they are not “in,” so to speak now. Now the flare, boot cut and baggie pant is “in,” and I predict will stay with us as well. Not everyone wants to wear tight, tight jeans and those people will have their choices.
Today it makes sense to move toward a flare, a boot cut or baggie pant to stay comfortable and to stay “in the loop.” There are some flattering cuts out there and in time the skinny jean will not be seen so much as it is now. Still, people will wear them like they wear leggings.
Ha, animal prints and jackets … My style must be the most Cancerian thing about me. Nice write up, ty.

Amazing, I’m only a Cancer rising and I totally do the scarf-as-headband and the sandal-tie-up-the-leg things. Thanks for great and insightful fashion tips, Annalisa!
