MEAGHAN SMITH PERSONAL STYLIST

If you have a denim jacket in your wardrobe – and I know a lot of you do – rather than retire it for winter, you could try layering it under your coats and jackets.

Apart from the warmth factor, it’ll add something extra to your outfit – color, texture, and shine (the buttons). And denim’s cool.

It might not work with all of your jackets (particularly those that are oversized) and it won’t work with everyone’s style – but it could work for you.

These are a few more photos to give you some ideas…

Remember – Using the clothes in your wardrobe in new and different ways will make you feel like you have more to wear.

I can help you style your clothes in ways you may not have thought of before – in your home or via FaceTime.

*The thing about traveling with a dress like this, is that you could make it work for different events/occasions by swapping the accessories. i.e. hair down, add jewellery, a heel and a clutch OR a hat, a straw bag, and a slide or sneaker, etc…

My client sent me this pic yesterday to show me how she’d changed a dress I’d shared on my Fab Finds, into this skirt.

This is what she said….

And this, is the original dress…

The thing is, clothes off the rack are not always going to work for us. Whether the fit isn’t quite right or you’d prefer it with a different sleeve, cropped, narrowed or lengthened – always be open to making alterations so that the piece becomes perfect for you.

I think it looks pretty great, don’t you?

If you’re always online looking at other people’s style, it’s not hard to begin to lose sight of your own.

You might even notice that stuff starts to creep into your wardrobe, that you have no idea how to wear, that you don’t particularly like – and you begin to feel like you have no idea what your style is anymore.

While it’s still early in the year, ask yourself – how do I want to look and feel in my clothes? Am I dressing in a way that represents the woman I am today? Am I being myself?

For me, I always want to feel feminine – even though I like pieces that can be fairly masculine. (e.g. Shirts, pantsuits, leather motorcycle jackets). I enjoy wearing something unexpected &/or slightly off, & I don’t like to be overly groomed or perfect. I.e. Sleeves haphazardly rolled up, a shirt that’s crumpled, hair that looks a bit messy. And occasionally, I might wear something inspired by…or feels like, the ‘70s. High-waisted jeans, flares, velvet blazers, pussy-bow blouses, clutch bags, knee-high boots, etc.

Thinking about your style like this should help you only put things in your wardrobe that feels authentic to you.
