Does Your Bra Fit You Properly?

6 Apr

Let’s face it most of us (including me) are guilty of wearing bras past their doing-their-job date.

One good way to check whether your bra fits you properly is to do the following test..

If when you lift your arms in the air your breasts pop out the bottom, the band is more than likely too big and/or the cup is too small.

As I mentioned here (and here), what you wear underneath, makes a huge difference to how your clothes look on you.

Weekend Wardrobe Challenge

1 Apr

Toss..

Old-fashioned suits, jackets, blazers and coats – that can’t be remodeled.

If they can be reinvented – Do it! – don’t leave them hanging in the wardrobe untouched for another decade.

Be ruthless. Don’t hang on to anything that doesn’t make you feel great.

It was 1988 when Working Girl was released, so it’s fairly obvious that the fashion from then is now outdated (or in some cases, vintage)

Knowing whether something from the last decade has become out of style is not as easy – especially for people who don’t regularly follow fashion.

If you find going through your wardrobe and deciding what stays and what goes, daunting and would like some help deciding which of your suits, jackets and coats (among other things) are still current or not, which ones can be remodeled and which ones to let go of,  you can contact me here.

If you’re on a roll and up for more wardrobe challenges you can find them here.

How To Be An Audrey

29 Mar

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.

Shopping In His Wardrobe

27 Mar

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)
