Hem Your Pants To The Proper Length

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 having to deal with too much fabric bunching up, then the...

Shoes To Frame Your Outfits

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!

Make Your Dresses Work All Year Long

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.

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...

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...
