How many times have you gotten dressed, looked in the mirror and said “Something looks ‘off’ here”? It might simply be a matter of proportions. Proportion is the framework with which we build our outfits, consciously or not. And the relative proportion of color or design elements can make or break a look.
There are many guidelines I use to help to determine what looks best on me and on others when combining separates. One of the most useful is the Golden Ratio – also called the Golden Mean – a ratio that appears in nature that we find aesthetically pleasing. The Golden Ratio has applications in mathematics, architecture and art…and also fashion. The ancient Greeks claimed that a 1/3 to 2/3 ratio is the most aesthetically pleasing division of spaces. In fashion, this is often referred to as “the rule of thirds”.
Look at the Eiffel Tower, considered one of the greatest structures ever erected. It breaks visually into roughly 2/3 at the top, 1/3 at the bottom. Painters and photographers use visual applications of the same ratio to compose their works.
How do you apply this to dressing in a way that is proportionally most pleasing to the eye?
Combining Separates
A balanced one-to-one ratio can be dull or boring. Unbalanced proportions are much more interesting and pleasing to look at. As you put items together, think in terms of dividing your overall look into thirds rather than halves or quarters:
• Combine items that are uneven in proportion to each other: Instead of two items that are the same length, look for a long and a shorter garment to put together:
– The blue-gray suit in the illustration on the far left is boxy looking because the jacket and skirt are about the same length (1/2 to 1/2 as parts of the whole ensemble). A short jacket looks best with a longer skirt or trousers. The Chanel suit in the illustration at the top of this article is more interesting because the short jacket tops a longer length skirt.
– A longer jacket looks best over a short skirt (see the tan suit above right, which is a 2/3 to 1/3 relationship) or even with trousers, not with a skirt that’s mid-calf length (as this would create a 50:50 – 1/2 to 1/2 – relationship).
– Style expert Imogen Lamport illustrates “the rule of thirds” so well on her blog (illustration at right) that I wanted to share it here: The two outside pictures are in 1/3 to 2/3 ratios; the two middle pictures are splitting the body into halves and neither is as visually appealing as the outside two.
• When evaluating the proportion in an ensemble you’re putting together, consider your entire look, from head to toe. For example, black tights worn with a black skirt are viewed as one element since the tights will appear as an extension of the skirt.

• Always check a full-length mirror to see if the length of your top works with the bottom. Easy adjustments can often be made.
For example: 1) On the left, the long top bisects the figure, dividing the space in half, which is not only uninteresting but also hits the model at her fullest body part. 2) In the middle, adding the belt creates a division of space into thirds, which is more interesting. 3) On the right, tucking in the blouse and adding a belt creates the ideal proportion of 1/3 to 2/3…and notice how it also creates a slimmer, taller appearance overall!

The rule of thirds is not an absolute but it’s a guideline that, when combined with a knowledge of how to dress for your body type, can help you dress your best. Once you pull on that top or jacket, remember it’s a matter of proportions. Applying the Golden Ratio can make you feel more “aligned”.
Now if you are still fretting in front of the mirror, contact me for an in-person or virtual consultation on how to polish your style and dress your best. Our first half-hour together is complimentary. I look forward to helping you!

|
Teensy 3.1 adds several new features, due to an upgraded microcontroller. Here are the highlights. Atable of technical specifications is show below. Teensy 3.2 adds a more powerful 3.3 volt regulator, with theability to directly power ESP8266 Wifi, WIZ820io Ethernet andother power-hungry 3.3V add-on boards. More Memory For Awesome ProjectsThe RAM has quadrupled since 3.0, from 16K to 64K. While 16K is plenty for nearly all Arduinolibraries, 64K allows for more advanced applications. Icons and graphics for colordisplays and audioeffects requiring delays, like reverb and chorus, will become possible on Teensy 3.2 & 3.1.Flash memory has also doubled, to 256K, and provides double the memory bandwidth. 5 Volt Tolerance on Digital InputsToday most new chips use 3.3V signals, but many legacy products output 5 voltdigital signals. These can now be directly connected to Teensy digitalinputs.All digital pins are 5 volt tolerant on Teensy 3.2 & 3.1. However, the analog-onlypins (A10-A14), AREF, Program and Reset are 3.3V only. Update: Color Change Jan 22, 2014The color of Teensy 3.1 was changed from black to green on January 22, 2014.
All Teensy 3.2 boards are green. The green material has slightly higher resolution. Seethis postfor details. 12 Bit Analog OutputTeensy 3.2 & 3.1 have a proper analog output. You can always filter PWM, buttrue analog output responds rapidly. The output is created by thestable reference voltage, so it's doesn't vary if your power supplyvoltage changes slightly.Simply use analogWrite() on the A14 pin for true analog output. Two Analog to Digital ConvertersWith analogRead(), you can measure many signals, but only 1 at a time.Teensy 3.2 & 3.1 has a second ADC, so you can concurrently measure 2 analog signals.For stereo audio or power monitoring, sampling both left and right, orvoltage and current at the same moment is very beneficial.Pedvide's ADC librarycan be used to access both ADCs. PJRC is developing an advanced analog read function for Arduino,to make using these new analog input capabilities very easy. CAN BusController Area Network is a communication used in automobiles.The FlexCAN library(included with the Teensyduino installer) supports use of the CAN controller on Teensy 3.2 & 3.1.Technical Specifications
PinoutsTeensy 3.2 & 3.1 have exactly the same pinout. Teensy 3.2 provides more poweron its 3.3V pin, and accepts a wider voltage input range. If used within Teensy3.1 limits, Teensy 3.2 and 3.1 are interchangeable.Both 3.2 and 3.1 are meant to be a drop-in replacement for Teensy 3.0. Only 1 pin hasdifferent functionality. The reset pin was replaced by A14/DAC, which you canuse for true analog output, or as another analog input.
Pins 3 and 4 gained CAN bus functions. Pins 6, 9, 15, and 20-21 can still have SPI chip select capability, but thelabels were removed to simplify the pinout card. Currently no libraries usethe native chip selects. However, a new SPIFIFO library is in development.
On the back side, 2 pins gained new PWM functionality and 6 pins have newanalog input capability. A second I2C port is also added. Reset SignalTeensy 3.0 supported both a Program signal, to reboot into bootloader mode,and a traditional Reset signal, for a conventional reboot that restarts yourapplication.The Reset signal can be found on a new test point on the bottom side of Teensy 3.1. The Reset signal is also available at a test point on the bottom side of Teensy 3.2. |
