A Few Dos and Don'ts for Building a Fashion Wardrobe

Throughout,  I'll emphasize neutral colors because black, grays, whites, creams, ivories, and beiges can be teamed in paractically any combination and still look rich and "pulled together."  But unless those neutrals are your favorite colors to begin with (as they are for me), at some point you're going to want to add more color and pattern to your clothes. 

That's where your own individuality enters the picture.  That's also where a lot of women start making some major mistakes.  Not trusting their own color sense, overly influenced by the fashion magazines and beauty books, their friends, the men in their lives, they start addin color every which way.  The result is a hodgepodge---blouses, skirts, sweaters, and dresses in a rainbow of hues that may be lovely to look at hanging there in a closet but severely cut back on the versatility of a wardrobe.

You don't have to commit yourself to certain colors for life.  It's only natural for color preferences to change somewhat over the years.  But if you want a coordinated wardrobe, you are going to have to start making certain decisions about color.  And stick to them, at least for a while.

How do you make those decisions? Simple.  Think of the colors you like best, the ones you find yourself reaching for whenever all else is equal and you have a choice.  Are they the bright sunny reds, oranges, and yellows?  The delicate pastels? Deep jewel tones such as garnet, sapphire, emerald?  Are they the sophisticated grayed shades---teal blues, dusty roses,  maroons?  Earthy colors like pumpkin, brown, plum? Chances are, whatever your favorite colors in general, they'll be the ones you'll most enjoy wearing.  It would be a good idea to concentrate on them---instead of going off on wild tangents---when adding color to your wardrobe.

But what if you think you don't look well in your favorite colors?  What if you read in a magazine or beauty book that, based on your complexion and hair, your favorite colors are the very ones you should avoid wearing?

I think you can guess how I feel about that. Its all nonsense.  You're much better off wearing a particular color because you love it than wearing a color you loathe because some beauty or fashion expert says you should.

Of course, some colors are more flattering to some women than others.  But most women can wear any color they like.  If you're mad for a particular color but feel it doesn't look well on you, try to figure out why.  Does it make you look tired or sallow?  See what happens when you apply more blush than usual.  Does it clash with your natural skin tones?  Try a slightly different shade of foundation makeup.  Does it overpower you?  Then use it in small doses---in a sweater or blouse, for example, not in a dress or coat. 

Another trick for wear a color that you love, but which you feel doesn't look well on you, is simply to keep that color away from your face.  A magenta blouse, for example, may not be the greatest with your skin tones.  But if you fill in the neckline with a scarf---one in a color that is flattering, magenta can be for you.

Another thing:  at some point, after you have all the basics and are beginning to add more to your wardrobe, you probably should take pattern---prints, stripes, checks, plaids, etc.--- into conderation. Specifically, decide for yourself whether you prefer pattern in your tops or your bottoms.

Some women tend to keep pattern on the bottom.  Most of their sweaters, shirts, and blouses ar in solid colors, while many of their pants and skirts are checks or plaids or prints.  That way, while they undoubtedly have certain favorite combinations, they can still wear almost any top with any skirt or pair of pants.  Other women prefer striped, printed, or plaid tops and solid-color skirts or pants, an approach that can be just as versatile as the first. 

The point is this: if you don't  make some kind of basic decision about whether you want pattern in your tops, or bottoms, you run the risk of ending up like the woman with an enormous collection of floral print blouses and a whole closet full of expensive tartan plaids skirts.  Despite all the clothes she has from which to choose, she hardly looks really well dressed---for obvious reasons.

Paper (Material World) $9.98 Paper (Material World) by Claire Llewellyn Published in 2002 by Franklin Watts

Material Cultures $31.48 The field of material culture, while historically well established, has recently enjoyed something of a renaissance. Methods once dominated by Marxist- and commodity-oriented analyses and by the study of objects as symbols are giving way to a more ethnographic approach to artifacts. This orientation is the cornerstone of the essays presented in Material Cultures. A collection of case studies which move from the domestic sphere to the global arena, the volume includes examinations of the soundscape produced by home radios, catalog shopping, the role of paper in the workplace, and the relationship between the production and consumption of Coca-Cola in Trinidad. The diversity of the essays is mediated by their common commitment to ethnography with a material focus. Rather than examine objects as mirages of media or language, Material Cultures emphasizes how the study of objects not only contributes to an understanding of artifacts but is also an effective means for studying social values and contradictions.

Bird Sugar

Attracting Birds to a Tropical Garden

Some individuals enjoy bird watching but prefer to do their bird watching in their back yard. Below is some advice on attracting wild birds to your back yard.

Firstly it depends upon having wild birds in the general area where your house is located and then you can attract then to your backyard.

The method used to attract the birds will depend upon what is the diet of the bird. If the bird is a nectar feeder e.g. bananaquits or hummingbirds, then large flowering plants will attract them. Hummingbird bills are perfectly adapted to the various types of flowers that they feed on, so different types of flowers will attract different hummingbirds. Some hummingbirds have especially curved or elongated bills that allow them to feed on special flowers, eg the White-tipped Sicklebill hummingbird whose downward curving bill allows it to draw nectar from heliconias. The Ruby-Topaz Hummingbird has a short and slightly decurved bill that is suited to feeding on the flowers of the ixora shrub. The Blue-tailed Emerald has a short bill that is suited for feeding on the Hibiscus flower. The Copper-rumped Hummingbird has a straight long bill that allows it to feed on medium sized tube shaped flowers such as the allamanda. Hummingbirds have little or no sense of smell, so colour is important to a hummingbird's search process for locating flowers containing nectar. While they will visit any flower that has sufficient nectar they prefer flowers that are red to orange in colour. It is believed that this colour preference is due to the fact that red flowers standout in a green background and so are more easily seen by the hummingbird. It is also believed that because hummingbirds compete with insects for nectar they choose flowers that are less likely to be visited by insects. Most insects do not see well at the red end of the colour spectrum and so may not visit red flowers while hummingbirds see the full visible spectrum.

If space in your yard is very limited, preventing you from having large flowering shrubs, an area to consider is the curb area between your property line and the roadway. You can plant small flowering shrubs such as the miniature ixora, which will then attract nectar feeding birds to your property.

For birds that are fruit eaters, the presence of ripe fruit will attract and so having fruit trees will attract birds. The majority of trees however only fruit once per year for a few months, so the attraction is not year round. If your garden has sufficient space then multiple fruit trees that bear at different times in the year will ensure a continuous bird presence. One tree that bears fruit for a very extended period is guava and so can attract birds for most of the year. Trees are also an attraction to birds because they provide nesting and resting sites. If you have the palm trees that people usually plant in from their houses that will generally attract Palm Tanagers who will feed on the small nuts, use material from the tree for building their nests and may also nest in the tree.

When a large number of flowering shrubs and/or fruit trees is not an option, you can consider purchasing a bird feeder. The type of feeder will also be dependent upon the type of birds in the area and the type of birds that you want to attract. For nectar feeders you use a sugar solution (the feeder usually has directions). You must put the feeder in a location where the birds will see it and you must change the solution regularly (2 -3 days). Red Feeders are good for attracting hummingbirds because they have a preference for red flowers. If you use a feeder it will take a few days for the birds to recognise that it is present in your yard.

Other feed can attract other types of birds. Bare-Eyed Thrushes and Kiskadees are somewhat omnivorous and so you can use rice (not boiled). I have found that they will also be attracted by dog food. Tropical Mockingbirds can also be attracted with rice. In addition, ripe fruit such bananas, mangoes and cherry can be used and will usually attract Blue-Gray Tanagers, Palm Tanagers and Yellow Orioles.

As an alternative to purchasing a feeder you can construct a feeder. For fruits you can build a simple chicken wire basket or bamboo joint to hold the fruit and attach it to the fence. Another low cost feeder can be constructed using a plastic bowl with a narrow edge. To construct this feeder you punch three holes, equidistant around the bowl. Then attach wire strands through each hole with the strands coming together at the top to form either a hook or a loop for suspending the bowl. Three strands are required to provide stability to the bowl particularly when birds alight on the bowl to feed. It is necessary to punch several holes in the base of the bowl to allow any rainwater or liquids to drain out the bowl.

Attracting birds, apart from the visual delight also provides the benefit of controlling the insect population, as many birds are insect feeders.

Is sugar, iron fillings, red hot candies, marbles, and bird seed mixed together a homologous mixture?

no they are not a homologous mixture, that would be a mixture that has dissolved and the ingredients cannot be seen separately such as Kool-aid.
Your mixture would be a heterogeneous mixture, which is a mixture with easily distinguishable and separable ingredients.

Hope that helped! What an interesting assortment of ingredients!
