Now, we're not saying that this is likely, or even possible, but let's just consider for one moment that the earth spins off of its axis and somehow distressed jeans go completely out of fashion. Would you ever have thought that an entire whole group of skilled artisans would suddenly be out of work? That's right, there's actually a factory in Kentucky full of specially-trained jean rippers that are responsible for carefully destroying high-end denim for brands like Rock and Republic. It's an art, or at least a craft.

We've always felt slightly weird about paying more for jeans that have been professionally "distressed," not on principle mind you, but just because we feel self-conscious that our designer rips and holes look like we're trying too hard. Now that we know serious craftsmen are on the job, we kinda feel guilty about not liking the pre-worn look. If you've never seen a jean distressing factory, you should definitely check out this photo essay.

If you're one of those who disagrees with paying for designer distressing, you can always go DIY.

In case you haven't noticed, we're all about finding subtle ways to introduce fall into our wardrobes. Some of you might live where it's cold enough to don a scarf and coat already, but some of us live in areas where we'll still be wearing tank tops at Christmas.

If you're top heavy -- we mean truly top heavy, not just a little busty -- you probably already know how important it is to try to make your body look proportional, which can be hard with the heavy fabrics and boxy cuts of some fall fashions. The last thing in the world you want to do is add bulk to your upper half, right? You don't want to look like you're about to tip over!

Okay, so maybe you shouldn't be wearing this, but if you have a pretty puppy with a fancy collar, you would be amiss to pass on this fabulous little bit of bling.

First of all, let us just say that if you're going to the gym and working up a sweat, you have a right to look as bad as you want. If you run farther or lift better wearing your old basketball shorts, that's fine -- we are big believers in hitting the gym to work out, not to win a fashion contest.

However, maybe you're meeting an old friend there (or hoping to meet that cute boy in your spinning class), and you want to look your best. Or, perhaps you just like to look good no matter what you're doing -- there's nothing wrong with that, either, and we can help!

Check out our gallery for a few recent trends in fitnesswear along with a few tips for flattering your figure. Whether you've already achieved your ideal physique or you're hitting the gym for a reason (or 20 "reasons," if you know what we mean), we've got something to help you out!

Berets can be intimidating, and not just those of the green variety. As a matter of fact, just a few years ago, we were nervous to wear them. Not because of the whole "freedom fries" thing or anything like that -- we just weren't sure how to wear them properly. But now we know, and just try to stop us, especially when it's a completely fabulous one like this Nordstrom Sequined Cashmere Beret ($78)!

Lots of women have an apple shape, meaning they carry most of their weight around the middle and don't really have much of a waistline. This doesn't mean they're really round, but it does mean that they can't really create an hourglass shape, and it can be hard to play up their assets (bust, arms, legs) because they're concerned about how to dress their middle.

There are some cuts that are going to flatter you with ease, and some that, no matter how fabulous the pattern, just aren't going to give you the sleek, sexy look you want. We've got some tips for how to accentuate the positive and diminish the negative when you're dressing up for a big night (or day) out. Check out the gallery for tips!

Every woman should have a quality, stand-by purse. You know, a purse that will go with just about any outfit, is large enough to hold whatever we might want to bring with us, and is classic enough to stay in style season after season.

This MAXX New York Bowler bag, available at Nordstrom for $168, doesn't quite fit that mold, but it has some fabulous qualities of its own.

Most of us have things about our bodies we'd like to change -- you know, the grass is always greener anywhere but here, right? One of the important things to keep in mind when we're figuring out how to best disguise our least favorite body part is that there are other body parts that we do like, and so instead of just disguising, we want to look at how to draw attention elsewhere.

If your problem is a short torso, chances are that you have fairly long legs. While you don't want to wear teeny-tiny shorts around all the time to show off how long they are, keep them in mind while you shop, and don't be afraid to flaunt what you have. However, we have a few tips to help you keep your body looking proportional -- check out what we have to say in the gallery!

One of the things we love about being a girl is that we can be sweet and girly one minute, a vamp the next, and tough and sporty after that. And sometimes, if we find just the right outfit, we can be all of those things at once.

Summer poses several obstacles for busty girls, with the main obstacle being the bra issue. With all the strapless, spaghetti strap, and halter options out there, ladies with a large chest can find it frustrating to find a summer dress they love with a neckline that allows them to have the proper support. Let's face it -- strapless bras just aren't for everyone.

Never fear -- there are plenty of sweet, summery dresses out there that are completely flattering for you. We want to accentuate your curves, but we don't want the bust and the cleavage to be all anyone sees. Click through the gallery for some tips on what will work best for you!

Formal events are often the events for which we want to look our very best. You might be seeing people you haven't seen for a while, or meeting new people you'd like to impress. Either way, you want to look absolutely amazing.

The thing is, formal gowns often show body parts we normally keep covered, like our backs, shoulders, and arms, and they sometimes cling to our stomachs and hips in ways that are unflattering -- not exactly what we're going for on a big night out, right?

Here are some tips for working with your figure when finding a dress for a formal event:
