As your wardrobe adviser or "shopping friend", you can look forward to your new look and shopping trip with confidence. My goal is to make you look and feel fabulous and ensure your wardrobe is well co-ordinated and contains superior quality clothes and accessories. My promise to you is to make this whole adventure fun.
Are you the kind of person who watches the catwalks religiously and spends lots of money on what’s hot this season? Do you wear all your purchases or may I say investments. Your wardrobe is a reflection of who you are. However, if you spend lots on all those little catwalk numbers they are only going to be of any value to you if you wear them all. That Armani blouse, those Gucci shoes, even that Stella McCartney dress will only look great on you if you know what suits you.
Here are a few enhancing and minimising style tips to assist you on your next shopping adventure and always remember good grooming cannot be over emphasised here ladies. Don’t forget the detail such as nails on hands and feet, make up, hair & accessories.
Long Legs
If you have long legs choose cropped trousers, hipsters, ankle straps and strappy sandals. You can afford to put your legs into sections by using lines and designs like detail around the ankle, shorts, flat shoes etc. lucky you!
Short Legs
If you have short legs make use of the magic Y by keeping your colour the same from high waist to floor. Choose full length straight trousers, same coloured belt, high waisted trousers and skirts. If you wear a long top over your trousers, this will cut your already short legs in half. Avoid showing your ankle if you wear trousers by choosing the same colour hosiery and shoes. Same rule applies for skirts. Keep the lines simple and choose high waist bands.
Weighty legs
Straighter legged trousers and longer skirts with some shape both with longer hemline. Keep accessories in the same colour if possible. Keep all your detail for above the waist. Chose a small court heel that is in proportion for your size in the same colour. Avoid shorts and short skirts, and high thin heels.
Thin legs
Chose lighter colours for accessories such as tights and subtle shoes and sandals. Shorter skirts will enhance.
Large thighs & hips
Use shoulder pads if needed to balance the lower half. Pick stronger colours and wear skirts with some shape. Keep the material on the bottom half soft and flowing. Chose jackets and cardigans that sit below or above your widest point to draw attention away from the prominent areas. No white leggings ladies.
Feet
You must look after your tootsies as they are responsible for carrying you around so spoil them by removing the rough skin regularly with a good exfoliate, then moisturize to keep them soft. Treat yourself to a pedicure now and again. If you have a gorgeous pair of toeless shoes or sandals to wear out make them stand out by painting your toes in contrasting colours to your accessories.
