Investments

  • A good versatile scarf that goes with the colours you wear most and look for silk crepe versions. They are usually easier to tie and more likely to stay that way.
  • Good eye glass frames. Don't however, wear them on a chunky chain around your neck. If  you must, choose something a little more subtle.
  • A well-made jacket in a 3 season fabric - light weight wool, fully lined with well sewn seams.
  • A good handbag that will last for years, big enough for all your essentials, but not too big.
  • At least one well made pair of pants (or a skirt for that matter) that you can wear for  three seasons.
  • A pair of classic pumps. Look for leather, heels no higher than 2 inches and a natural, versatile colour black, nude or grey.
    
 


 
 

Tips

  • Wear perfectly fitted clothes
  • Don't choose clothes that hide your shape
  • Leggings balance the silhouette. Wear it with a t-shirt, heels, flats and boots but with balance.
  • Don't over wash your clothes
  • Wear your best jeans or LIB (little black dress) for a date. Be sexy, sophisticated and confident.
  • You don't have to match your bag and shoes

Something to ponder!

Remember that beauty is not a state of perfection like the glossy magazines make us believe. BEAUTY is a living process.

Sit on your own in front of a mirror and just look at your naked face. If you look long enough you will see beauty. Regardless of your inhibitions, every single person has something beautiful and remarkable.

Accept who you are. Fall in love with yourself and make the most of yourself.

Everyday is a fashion show and the world is your runway. So always dress your best and walk with confidence.

Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.

Looking after your mind, body & soul is something that you owe yourself.

Style is a reflection of your attitude and personality.

Fashion fades, only style remains the same!

Select your thoughts like you do your clothes.

Fashion can be bought style one must possess.
