MEAGHAN SMITH PERSONAL STYLIST

Toss..

It was 1988 when Working Girl was released, so it’s fairly obvious that the fashion from then is now outdated (or in some cases, vintage)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

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)

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.
