Don’t just save your trench for work..or good, try wearing it casually with your jeans and a smart pair of sneakers.
This could be a good casual Friday outfit. Casual, yet sophisticated. Just pop your shoes on when you get to the office. ( I used to keep an array of shoes under my desk when I worked at the bank)

Sometimes making a few tweaks, can make a big difference.
By slightly changing how you wear something, you can make one item of clothing work for difference occasions.
Take this shirt for example.
It could be worn with a pencil skirt for work or with a full length skirt to an event, but in this case it’s worn casually with a pair of chinos. It’s been styled with the idea of a look in mind. (Maybe “subtly sexy, smart casual”)
– the collar has been popped up (Framing the face)
– the hair’s been put up to highlight the popped collar and lengthen the neck
– the shirt’s been buttoned to expose skin (or a hint of lace bra or camisole)
– the sleeves have been folded so that the cuffs poke out the top (Exposing some skin, highlighting the waist and lengthening the legs)
– the shirt has been half tucked into the pants
Tomorrow when you get dressed, stand in front of your full length mirror and ask yourself if there’s anything you could do to give your outfit a different look.
Challenge yourself.

Often the smallest adjustment, can make the biggest difference.
(Remember I showed you the impact tucking in can have here.)
There are several reasons rolling up your sleeves can have a positive effect on your overall look – one being that it can visually make your legs appear longer.
(I’ll let you study the picture and see if you can figure out the others.)
Of course it’s also a benefit if your sleeves are too long – as demonstrated in the picture on the left.
In case you missed it, I also talked about rolling up sleeves here and here.
..and here’s another tip for lengthening the legs.

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It was 1988 when Working Girl was released, so it’s fairly obvious that the fashion from then is now outdated (or in some cases, vintage)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