How to wear a paper bag waist

What is a paper bag waist?

A Paper bag waist is a scrunchy waist that reminds one of a paper bag surrounding a bottle or a bread stick after your hand has held it tightly on its trip home. They scrunch at the waist and are usually tied with soft fabric or more traditionally -  rope.

It's a classic style that never dates and can be kept forever but does come around as "a trend" piece every 3 years. 

The under 30's amongst us may like to wear theirs with a crop top or a bodysuit.

As a 47 year old, I love wearing mine with a long sleeve shirt, sloppy Joe, classic poncho or a loose tee or tank top tucked in.

The great thing about a paper bag waist is that you can buy one at 23 years of age and still wear the same item - only differently for the rest of your life. They are a true classic.

Jeans and Jackets! How to wear them together

Uncategorized Apr 23, 2021

Buy Less. Live more.

 

Even though jeans may seem like the easiest thing on the planet to just grab and throw on (cos they go with everything right), they really aren't.

There is a balance that will mean that a little more thought on your behalf really should go into in.

The key is - Masculine denim and something feminine. 

This is done so well with both dainty and statement necklaces, feminine coloured tops, heels and thin belts (especially printed ones).

Jeans LOVE!!!! prints. Absolutely adore them.

They love a print top. A print jacket. A print belt. A print shoe/boot/heel and a print clutch/bag.

They love to become a print themselves through distressing (you can watch my how to HERE).

A leather jacket is a HUGE investment - here's what you should look for

Uncategorized Apr 23, 2021

Buy Less. Live more.

 

We have been chatting a lot lately (in my Boss program) about leather jackets and as it's such a huge investment. It's really important to get it right. 

I would love for you all to own at least one (and of course this can be vegan) as they do add a real edge to any outfit.

My video at the end of this email will show you these outfits and why I chose a blonde leather jacket as the best colour for my wardrobe.







And I Just couldn't resist an appearance from Maz below.

How to wear a blazer and which is the best length and colour to buy

Uncategorized Apr 23, 2021

Buy Less. Live more.

 

Blazers are expensive! 

But how great are op shops for finding something loved before. AMAZING.

It's going to be a while before we can venture out into those glorious places again.

How about we shop our own and other Family Members wardrobes for the moment (I have made a video below showing you how I make my Husband's blazer work for me).

When it comes to blazers - It's not only about looking for the right cut and length for you but the colour is soooooo important.


My collection begins with my best light neutral - this one is a longer length.




Then I have my (hair colour type) skin colour of pink. This is a much shorter length but purchased oversized to suit my relaxed vibe. I include how to make this shorter length work best in my video below.




(My best Hair colour type extra colour of) blue in a longer boyfriend style.




My Eye colour of "a natural go away green" in a longer length.

Find out what colours suit you through the colour of your eyes

Uncategorized Apr 21, 2021

Isn't it frustrating when you are standing there looking at a clothes rack trying to work out which item to grab to try on when someone leans in RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU and grabs exactly what you were looking at?

I know, right? How rude.

But I guess they had one thing going for them that you didn't have. They were committed, knew what to grab and this for them took only seconds to do.

How about you become more stealth like, too?

You can do this by knowing which kind of color suits you straight off without messing around wasting time on trying them all.

It's all in your eyes.

If your eyes are bright and clear, you suit brighter greens and if your eyes are more cloudy (I call it dirty), then you suit more go away greens like sage for instance.

I have dirty green eyes (of which I love) so you will see by the photos below just which kind of green I collect everything in.

What To Look For In A Winter Coat

Uncategorized Apr 21, 2021
Nat Tucker Style Not Repeating Colour.png

Try not to repeat a colour even when it comes to your socks!

 

Now I am about to bust a myth here so get ready for it and you may need to brace yourself a little.

BUT black really is not the best coat colour to buy and I apologise if this makes mush of your brain and turns your whole world upside down but I never promised that our journey together here would be easy - fun yes, but easy...nope.

When you are encasing yourself in a huge piece of heavy fabric and it happens to be black, you have (without giving it a moment's thought) turned yourself into one big rather burnt marshmallow (but with little legs sticking out the bottom).

Dressing with a Winter coat means that you must consider your coat as an extra frame, so in reality your coat needs to be in contrast to everything else you wear in Winter.

You can take stock of your wardrobe and work out the colours that you mainly wear over winter and which would be the number one best coat colour to highlight and...

How to Choose a Fitbit Colour That's Perfect for You and Your Wardrobe

Uncategorized Apr 21, 2021

My Son sat down at the desk next to me last week just as I was loading up this weeks video.

He turns to me, looks at me kind of strangely and asks "did someone actually request this topic or did you just randomly think it was a good idea?

My response.

"Chase, I have received over a dozen emails asking me to touch on this topic, so yes, it was requested".... as I blew a raspberry in his direction.

"Mum, I was just going to give you a compliment as it is so on the money right now, who would have thought it was something to think about but yet, it really is, well done to you".

"Gosh - thanks Son".

So there you go. I am feeling a little chuffed right now I must say. A lovely compliment from a loved one does that, don't you agree? :)

But back to the subject at hand. How to pick the perfect fitbit colour for you and your wardrobe.

Now - Let me explain.

For me personally, I know that I have pink skin. So working back from there I go to my Brilliant Colour Combinations eBook and look at all...

Blazers, Sandals and The Simple Staple Wardrobe System

Uncategorized Apr 16, 2021

It really makes such a difference when we stop just guessing at what we need and start applying a system, having a map and a plan ensures that we have all that we need to make our entire wardrobe work.

That's why in this post, I have added a book on jackets, blazers, necklaces, shoes, pants and a few staple tees that I feel are much needed when it comes to wardrobe gaps.

I have included a photo of myself wearing my chosen denim jacket colour as I know that it helps you when I cut through 7 years of my extreme learning so that you can just get right there quickly and today!.

Your time is valuable and it is what you are short of most of all.

Off-the-shoulder Tops and Gladiators!

Uncategorized Apr 16, 2021

I have had a few people ask me lately if it is still worth investing in the off-the-shoulder trend because I first mentioned it a couple of years ago. They were a little worried that it may be "old news" for this Summer.

Go for it and have some fun! The off-the-shoulder trend is still hot!

If you are not into off-the-shoulder you can always give the cut out shoulder a go.

Gladiator sandals will still be going strong this Spring/Summer so if you haven't dived in yet, you may like to think about it.

Oh, and these tops pictured would look way better if they were tucked... but you knew I was going to say that right?! :)

Working with my Light, Dark, Colour and Print theory, the white sandal in the second outfit would be both the light and the print but if you added the three bracelets to the outfit, the bracelets would become the stronger print taking the sandal back to just being...

Choosing a Head Piece for Race Day is so hard! Not anymore!

Uncategorized Apr 16, 2021

This post is all about Racewear. After all, it is the season and quite often the reason us ladies actually manage to relax and get to dress up and have a lot of fun.

Personally, I have no clue about horses but I am indeed an expert in tossing back the bubbles as I watch others that do know what they are doing (I even try to slap them on the back in congratulations but I quite often miss their back and watch as my leg gives way beneath me under my open palm return... nothing like a good self thigh slap I reckon).

BUT right now let's chat Race Wear and the importance of NOT picking out a colour in your dress or shoes to match your fascinator.

NO! Let your head piece be a drawing card, your signature, a full stop at the end of whatever it is you are trying to say.

Make them STAND UP AND TAKE NOTICE! or at the very least when you stand up - they notice.

Both the fascinator and the cocktail hat are best worn with a dress for the races. If you...
