MEAGHAN SMITH PERSONAL STYLIST

Anyone can be “in fashion”.  You just need to copy what everyone else is wearing.

True style is personal.

It’s knowing yourself and being confident about how you want to present yourself to the world.

Stylish women don’t follow the pack – they break rules and ignore trends that don’t work for them.

They carry their nana’s Glomesh purse, buy a vintage Mexican lace wedding dress on Etsy, or wear a men’s tuxedo with heels to a black tie event.

If you admire Audrey Hepburn’s style as much as I do, you might enjoy this little documentary.

It’s ok to “shop” in your husband or boyfriends wardrobe, as long as you don’t try to wear the item in the same way he does.

In this photo Garance Dore wears her (former) partners shorts.

The reason they look so good (apart from her lovely legs) is because she’s added her own feminine touch to them – heels, a silk shirt, a beautifully tailored jacket and red nails.

Is there anything in his wardrobe you might be able to wear by styling it your own way?

Be creative.

(As Sharon Stone did when she wore her husbands white shirt to the Academy Awards with a Vera Wang skirt)

When you’re shopping for a new pair of shoes, apart from wanting something that fits and something that’s comfortable, do you also consider whether the shoe is flattering on your leg?

You don’t have to save that fabulous statement skirt, you pull out once or twice a year, just for special occasions.  (That, let’s be honest, may not even come)

You can try and wear it with a t-shirt, a knit or even a denim jacket.

What’s the point in having something lovely – possibly one of your favourite pieces – hanging mostly unworn in your wardrobe.

Casual it down and see if you can make it work more often.  …and don’t just save it for best.
