Being in your element when it comes to fashion.
By Gloria Stone
Does your Sun Sign affect your style, the clothes that your buy, which earrings and bracelets adorn your body, or the kinds of shoes that you wear? Let's find out if you are in your element when it comes to fashion whether that element is Earth, Air, Water, or Fire...
FIRE SIGNS:
ARIES - March 21 to April 19
active, excitable, impulsive, optimistic, open to change and new experiences
LEO - July 23 to August 22
enthusiastic, powerful, creative, generous and extravagant, with a fixed opinion
SAGITTARIUS - November 22 to December 21
energetic, ambitious, generous, freedom loving and a seeker of challenges
A Fire Sign will often dress with a great flair for drama and an instinct for getting attention when they walk into a room. Aries and Leo girls usually love bright, fire engine reds, sunshine oranges, and magnetic gold. Sagittarius girls are in their glory with deep, dark purple and blood-dripping reds. Brittany Spears, whose birthday is December 2nd, dresses like a true Sagittarius. When a Fire Girl walks down the street or into a room, you can bet your old Barbie doll that she WILL be noticed. Expect mixes and matches of bright colors, lots of bangles, and long dangling earrings. She probably has a ring on every finger, a bare midriff, and a mother in the background flailing her hands in the air and yelling words that Fire Girl pretends she can't hear.
Fire Girl goes where there's lots of action, is a natural leader, and exudes self-confidence. You'll find the latest style magazines strewn around her room as she dreams of owning AND wearing the gorgeous clothes that the catwalk models wear. As she gets older, Fire Girl saves and hoards her money until she can afford the sequined, strapless, slinky prom dress she's just gotta have. Once again, her Mom shakes her head in defeat. Her shoes are as daring as they can be, and her heels are higher than high. A true Fire Girl wears sexy, daring underwear because SHE likes them. She dresses for herself - not for anybody else. Her answers to any negative comments about her style are unfit to print! She thinks it's perfectly normal to buy a corset or thigh-high boots; if you say it's not, she'll think you're jealous. A Fire Girl will catch your eye forever even when she becomes a Little Old Fire Lady.
EARTH SIGNS:
TAURUS - April 20 to May 20
quiet, affectionate, patient, stable, determined, and is practical, and resistant to change
VIRGO - August 23 to September 22
reserved, modest, industrious, analytical, and seeks to know and understand
CAPRICORN - December 22 to January 19
prudent, patient, seeks security, disciplined and determined, and is quick to seize opportunities
An Earth Girl takes a great deal of time putting her outfit together because everything must be in exquisite order in her world. The dark green of nature, browns, beiges, honey, copper and cinnamon jump out at you when you open her closet along with any other colors associated with the planet. She'll still be pondering a purchase when her friends are a mile down the mall having lunch. She will try on as many outfits as necessary until she creates the perfect balance in style that she is trying to achieve. She's the girl with 20 didn't-make-it outfits flung on the bed behind her as she walks out of her room looking fabulous. The Earth Girl will be the one can look devastating with a crisp white-collar peeking out from under a soft, fuzzy cashmere V-neck sweater combined with tailored, front pleated pants with just the right belt.
Accessories are just as important to an Earth girl as her outfit; her shoes will always match her outfit. And stockings, socks, or tights will always be the perfect shade to go with that perfect pair of shoes. Pins will usually be worn instead of rings, but if one does show up on her finger, it will be elegant AND costly. Earth Girls love simple but expensive jewelry. You can bet your bottom dollar hers will always be18k gold or the highest grade of silver. She'll NEVER wear a knockoff or anything cheap - she'd rather wear nothing at all! Her parents will receive a turned up nose and pouty look if they bother to wrap up anything less than perfection.
Earth Girl's expensive taste carries over to her underwear as well. She likes them simple and tasteful. She'll have just a hint of expensive French lace peeking out from under her beautiful silk blouse and designer skirt. Tailored jackets are a must in her closet and once again, her choice will be the finest of materials. Earth Girl is one of the best dressed of all the signs because she is patient enough to find the quality and style she is looking for, practical in the choices she makes, and knows how to seize an opportunity at the season's biggest sales.
AIR SIGNS:
GEMINI - May 21 to June 20
lively, versatile, intellectual, and lives primarily in the mind rather than in the emotions
LIBRA - September 23 to October 22
active, artistic, easygoing, diplomatic, polished, and loves beauty and harmony
AQUARIUS - January 20 to February 18
assertive, progressive, original, inventive, independent and has strong likes and dislikes
Our Atmospheric Girl is always thinking, is balanced, and has to know everything about style. That is why you will find her on the phone asking all of her friends just what they will be wearing to school the next day, to the game on Friday night, to the prom next spring, or if their jeans or cutoffs are faded. Air Girl can be very competitive when it comes to fashion and style AND inventive. She will mix a beautiful aquamarine chiffon top with her worn jeans or denim skirt. Gemini girls love bright, luminous colors, such as amethyst and sky blue. Libras lean toward colors of romance and refinement, which will include lavenders and Baby Girl pinks. An independent Aquarius will strut out in electric blues, iridescent white, and any color associated with the sky.
Air Girl is meticulous; everything about her from the top of her head to the very soles on her shoes must be in perfect harmony and well balanced. She gets tons of compliments due to the fact that she has such a futuristic sense of fashion. Her love of the unusual and the delicate adds mystery and intrigue to the way she dresses. Perfect strangers will walk up to her and ask, "Where ever did you get that?" She wears hats when no one else would even consider wearing one AND she looks great in them. The latest fads don' t necessarily interest her because she is way ahead of her time. Air Girl is a trendsetter. In her crowd, her friends follow her dress code, and others will take notes. What she wore a month ago is suddenly EVERYWHERE!
Air Girl is into fragrances; her hair smells fresh and clean, her clothes smell like sunshine, and she's wearing an amazing perfume. Graceful and dainty scents tickle your nose as Air Girl floats by.
WATER SIGNS:
CANCER - June 21 to July 22
receptive, sensitive, shrewd, imaginative, sympathetic, kind, emotional, and has an intuitive mind
SCORPIO - October 23 to November 21
passionate, subtle, persistent, intense, unyielding, imaginative, aggressive, psychic and secretive
PISCES - February 19 to March 20
romantic, mystical, mysterious, dreamy, imaginative, adaptable, and very changeable
Water Girl is the most glamorous of the zodiac because she dresses with her emotions rather than with her mind. She's fond of illusions. Is that a skin-colored peek-a-boo teddy or a lace bra or not!? A Water Girl is a dual personality; you never know from day to day what she will be wearing, but then, neither does she. Her closet is not as organized as an Earth or Air girl's. She doesn't spend hours picking out matching outfits, but when she flows down the halls at school or out and about with her friends, she is definitely noticed.
Water Girl loves the dreamy colors of the sea such as emerald green, turquoise, and the deep blues that are found at the bottom of the ocean. Scorpio girl dress in the glowing colors of passion such as crimson, burgundy, maroon, and blood reds. Don't criticize her style or you will feel the mighty sting of the Scorpion and she will not look at you, much less talk to you, for months. Cancer Girl is ruled by the Moon, therefore her color choices will be the shimmering colors of a bright, full moon, sea greens, and silvers.
Water Girl likes New Age jewelry in silver with jade or turquoise. Long skirts grace her long legs and whistle with each step she takes. This too makes you notice her. Sandals or comfortable shoes adorn her feet or whenever possible, she wears no shoes at all. Her mother might try to guide her toward a more sophisticated look, but Water Girl will never change. She 'd rather dress more like a child of the 60s or a follower of the Grateful Dead. She is the most uninhibited of all the elements and her love of mystery gives her an even stronger desire to walk a different path when choosing her fashion style.
