Do You Say Nay To Crochet Today
It can feel difficult to jump on a trend that you have worn in the past but trends are what keep us inspired and having fun in our wardrobes.
Of course, we don't have to buy into them, Most of us have these items already in our wardrobes, we just need the "current trend" forecast to inspire us to create brand-new outfits.
Crochet throws a high-quality retro vibe with a boho aesthetic and sits back nicely with ripped and distressed denim. Wide-leg pants and jeans are an easy match for the 70s vibe. Add a pair of platform wedges to finish the look.
The modern edge of my outfit above is the collarless shirt peeking out above and below the crochet. When we re-wear old trends, it's always nice to add a new spin or let's say "a modern twist".
A collared crinkled white shirt worn with distressed denim jeans hits that relaxed beachside vibe. I'm making sure I still frame my outfit with my black platform wedges and my black sequin sneakers add another li
How Is Your Hat Collection Coming Along?
It's hat season, but then again most of us wear hats all year round it just comes out a little earlier and stays on a little longer over Spring and Summer.
For that reason, we need to learn how to incorporate our hats into our outfits.
Having both shape and colour knowledge when building our hat collection will have us looking and feeling our best for every occasion.
Fedora's for instance are perfect for garden parties, winery luncheons, and beach weddings.

Then we have our caps and straw hats.
These easy grabs are worn the most often and so important to pack when heading away on an "outside a lot" kind of holiday (like us pictured here in France 5 years ago).

And remember, even though you are wearing a hat - don't forget that sunscreen!

Are You Tired Of Not Knowing what Items To Put Together
Creating an outfit that is both interesting and effortless is much like following a recipe when cooking.
But you are lucky in that you don't have to write out a grocery list and go shopping first.
You can just use what is already in your pantry (I mean wardrobe of course).
1. Every outfit should be made up of a light item, a dark item, a coloured item and a print, that's the first guide.
2. If your neckline is higher than your face length, cut out the neckline with a face-length necklace (first picture above, top left).
3. If your neckline starts lower than your face length fill the gap with a shorter necklace (second picture above top right).
4. If you have a print or detail that starts at face length (or close enough) on your top, you don't have to do a thing, just wear it as is (above bottom picture).

5. Make sure you don't repeat a colo
...Shorts and the Colours to Collect in your Wardrobe for the Warmer Weather
Building that perfect warm-weather wardrobe is all about making sure you own a variety of colours that not only work with you but also work back with each other.
This is when my light, Dark, colour and a print theory really comes into play.
The photos above show an example of light shorts, dark shorts, a colour (my eye colour) and a print pair (strawberry pinstripe). Note that every outfit has a light, a dark, a colour and a print with my hair being the dark in the first outfit (yes, you can include your hair).
When I wear my pink skin colour, I like to have a self-detail or print so that I don't appear naked from a distance (try to keep this in mind when you are buying your active wear).
The print in your outfit can be details like the edging on my off-the-shoulder tops or the extra sewn seams on my pockets and the top in my first photo.
Keeping this in mind every time you get dressed really does make it easy

How To Dress In-between Seasons
Transeasonal dressing is a versatile fashion approach that allows you to transition smoothly from one season to another.
When the weather is in between seasons, you can take advantage of this dressing style to create unique outfits that are both practical and chic.
You can mix and match pieces from various seasons of your wardrobe, creating a fusion of colors, textures, and styles that reflect your personal taste. This way, you can stay comfortable, confident, and fashionable, no matter what the weather brings.
I suggest investing in timeless and versatile wardrobe staples that can be easily integrated into your outfits throughout the year.
A favourite trophy shirt, a pair of unique chinos, and an oversized classic Grandpa blazer are just a few key pieces in my wardrobe.
These are items that aren't bound to any particular season so can be adjusted and layered as needed.
Think classic pieces but with a twis

Its Time To Talk Street Sneakers
The science behind your style is all about the personal preference you have when wearing certain items in your wardrobe.
Each additional item you purchase should not only match your existing wardrobe but also be cohesive with you.
This is how you build the perfect wardrobe.
Let's examine the reasoning behind each of my street sneaker choices in the outfits below.
First outfit: Camel is a perfect colour pairing for black and also crisp white. I felt that my first outfit needed both a light and a print along with a dark so the multi black and white street sneakers are spot on.
Second outfit: The subtle tie dye print track suit had me wanting to carry on a subtle print into my shoes by way of my shoe laces and when I added the more formal blazer, the casual lace up street sneakers made perfect sense.
Third outfit: My chambray ruffle shirt is acting as a strong feature print and my dark denim trench is the dark so I felt that I wanted a very plain, n
Have You Forgotten What You Wore Last Spring
I understand how disheartening it can be to feel like you've lost your fashion sense with the change of Season.
Building a wardrobe that complements your unique features (complexion, and body shape) plus personal style can feel like a daunting task.
It's not uncommon to feel overwhelmed or discouraged when your wardrobe doesn't seem to align with the latest trends or make you feel confident in your appearance.
However, there is a solution that can help you regain your confidence: planning your outfits for the upcoming season using the clothes you already own.
This approach is not only practical but also cost-effective. It allows you to make the most out of your current wardrobe while still keeping up with the latest trends.
Trends keep us inspired and make fashion fun but we don't have to buy into them.
Looking at the trends will have us wearing our own clothes in brand-new and inspiring ways.
Start with your basics.

...What Contrasts Do You Tend To Wear
Of course, you have a naturally born contrast level that suits you the best but it's important that your personality comes into play here too.
High Contrast: Consists of black to white within your outfit but navy to white is also considered high contrast. If you suit high contrast (or love wearing high contrast), your best shoe colours to collect are a colour you are not wearing in your outfit (it's important not to repeat a colour again on your feet), gold (to contrast your cool colours) or a tan (light tan if you wear mainly dark bottoms and a dark tan if you wear mainly light bottoms).
Medium Contrast: Is white (or all forms of off-whites) and a colour worn together. A dark shoe (in either black or darkest tan) will work hardest in your wardrobe to frame your medium contrast outfits. When you do pair a true off-white with navy within your outfit, this also takes your outfit down to medium contrast. This is when silver or bright white shoes bec
...What Style Of Dress Suits Which Body Shape
Buying a dress that suits you perfectly is all about taking your body shape into consideration.
Let me break it down by describing the natural lines that you should look for in your perfect dress.
Inverted triangle: Suit a large flowy shoulder that goes out way further than the actual shoulder. The float should then come back into the waist. The more feminine in fabric, print, and style the better. The bottom half should taper in dramatically to follow the leg line. Separates of a top with a skirt are your best bet rather than a one-piece dress.
An Hourglass: Suits a dress that is structured to follow the curvy in and out curves with a definite waist and then goes out again at hips and thighs before venturing strongly back in again. Be sure to fit your shoulders correctly. Your best balance is following your natural lines very closely.
Rectangle: You work best buying separate pieces in the same fabric and colour
