MEAGHAN SMITH PERSONAL STYLIST

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.

When the weather cools down, try wearing a sweater (jumper) over some of your summer dresses.

It might work.

It might not.

Don’t be afraid to make some mistakes.

Have fun with your clothes and get the most out of them.

Here are some more ways you can transition your summer clothes into the cooler months.

Rather than lugging around your big leather everyday bag in summer, consider swapping occasionally to something more casual.

I tend to do it on the weekends.  If I’m shopping or catching up with friends for lunch I’ll carry my French market basket or a small colorful straw clutch.  

Bags, just like shoes, have the power to make your outfit more casual or alternatively, more dressy.

Give it a try.

Maybe you have a little dress you wear to work (perhaps a shirt style) with a classic pump and your everyday (More than likely black) handbag.  Now try it with a pair of tan tan sandals or an espadrille and a straw basket or canvas tote. It feels and looks completely different. It means by changing your bag and shoes, you have a new outfit for a different occasion.  You can wear the dress somewhere other than just work

If you’ve worked with me before you’ll know I encourage everyone to try and come up with at least five ways to wear every piece in your wardrobe.

Personally, I do it at the shopping stage.  I visualise at least three ways I could wear something before I even buy it.

For some people this can take a bit of practice and taking inspiration from photos is a good way to get  you thinking and imagining how you could wear various items you have hanging in your wardrobe.

In this case I’ve chosen to show you five ways Viviana Volpicella has worn her denim shirt and hopefully, if you own one, you might get some ideas.

*Remember not to the take the photos too literally.  When you look at them, think creatively.
