MAKE IT LOOK EASY

Something as simple as knowing which clutch bag to invest in for all of those staff, family, and friends events over the next couple of months is going to be invaluable. 

So let's break it down into buying for your personality until you learn your colour type.

A creative's clutch bag looks best when it is - well, creative! A creative print like Chevron, urban and any artistic hand crafted print in black and white or black and off-white colour will work hard for you. This will give you more contrast with your statement clutch bag while the rest of your outfit is more medium in contrast, making it a  talking point for sure. 

A theatrical clutch bag is fabulous in black and white cow print or zebra print. The soft lines on those two prints contrast beautifully with the strong stripes and spots of a theatrical personality type's best print. The black and w

When choosing the hem length of your pants, consider the shoes you will wear. 

Based on my healed boots, I prefer the hem length shown in pictures 1 and 3 the most. Hem length 1 gives me a glamorous, flowy appearance while picture 3 exhibits a more deliberate crop effect that exposes almost all of my boot.

I am 159 cm tall so taking the long almost to the floor first pair of pants up 12 cm gives me the perfect purposeful crop look with my heeled pair of boots (above my ankle bone).

When I wear my flat street sneakers, I prefer my pants to float just above and almost touch the vamp of my shoe (the top nearest where my foot goes in). This makes the second picture my preferred length, which is taken up 8cm from the floor draping first picture. 

If I'm looking for a comfortable and relaxed look that I can wear with my flat street sneakers without

Are you overwhelmed by the variety of shoes in the store? Unsure which ones will match your wardrobe? 

The type of colours and tones you wear is the key factor.

With my colour type, I suit soft colours so my most worn shoes in Spring, Summer and Autumn are black.

I don't wear black boots in Winter though as these appear way too heavy for my colour type so instead I aim for dark taupe.

When I wear a dark jacket or tee, I pair it with bright white shoes to create contrast and balance my outfit without repeating the dark colour again.

Avoid wearing coloured sandals that match your clothes. Not repeating a colour within your outfit is key! 
 

Let me show you how it works in this quick video

To your wardrobe success,

In Adelaide, South Australia. We are going through some crazy coolish weather for Spring. 

I want to wear my dresses as I'm over wearing my pants and jeans (I'm sure you are too).

As my hair gets greyer and greyer, my best colours change every so slightly (some people change colour types completely as they go grey and I mean go from warm skin tone to cool skin tone - complete opposites) and this white linen dress works so well for my grey-haired complexion even without a tan...

... the tan will arrive very soon (and safely, I absolutely adore sunscreen). 

This outfit kept me warm, I felt stylish and I was able to add section layers through using my sash belt to tuck my knit vest in.

To your wardrobe success,

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

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!
