Cardinal Fashion Rule #1

ALL CLOTHING IS NOT MADE THE SAME!!!
Because you are a 12 in one brand DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE A 12 IN ALL BRANDS.
Open your mind to adjusting sizes due to:

• FABRIC. heavy wovens and linens are to be loose. Knits should be loose.
• SILLOUETTE ( items with darts or empire waist, tent shapes, babydoll, pencil skirts, oxford shirts, tailored items, ect)
• CUT If a garment is cut on the bias ( you might have to go up 2 sizes)
• Color. Bright colors should skim the body, dark can be snug. Still leaving breathing room.
• Chest. IF the garment is too snug in the chest but fits properly elsewhere GO THE NEXT SIZE UP and tailor the rest to fit.
• Hem. If you wear a very mini mini its ok to let it be one size larger. Allow the waist band to gently rest on the lower waist. If an item looks a little loose on the body the overall effect is slimming. It the proportion. If its a dress allow the thighs to float within the skirt.

Support You Local Arts

In the wake of crazy gas prices, wars, and no world peace support your local arts. Every town big or small has some sort of art.Riverside is home to some of the most amazing artist and artisans. So why go to LA or San Diego when you can hang in Riverside at some amazing places that hardly cost a thing.

• Downtown Riverside Arts Walk. Every 1st Thursday of the month.
• Riverside Ballet has a Spring Gala going on next month.
• The Historic Citrus park hold concerts that I believe are free in the Summer.
• Back To The Grind coffee house has a gallery below them and also offers concerts.
• Riverside Community College always put on great plays.
• Mission Tobacco Lounge have great live music and dancing Thursday through Saturday I believe.
• Riverside Monthly has a few notes on the activitys during the month.
• There are also several galleries in the Downtown are.

Get out there, support your locals arts, and boost the local economy by supporting the small guy. Also shop the many amazing boutiques and gift shops. There is always something amazing to discover that you wont find at the Galleria.
