MEAGHAN SMITH PERSONAL STYLIST

One of my summer style goals is to get my fingernails into great shape so I can paint them red.

I love the impact a painted nail can have on an outfit, particularly when highlighted against basic pieces like a white shirt, a navy and white striped tee or a black knit.

And while I never paint my finger nails I almost always paint my toes.   My current favourite’s are Revlon Chilli and Chanel Rouge Noir.

Keep in mind painting your nails,  just like wearing  a brightly colored lip, is another way to decorate your clothes.

I recently had a client tell me that in the time we had gone through her wardrobe and then met to go shopping together (about 2 weeks) she’d had several people comment on how much weight she’d lost.

She hadn’t lost any.

We’d just made a few simple little adjustments to how she wore her clothes.

Hem (Of tops as well as skirts and dresses) and sleeve lengths were shortened or lengthened, belts were added, flattering shoes were worn (Frumpy pairs were discarded) and things were tucked in.

Think about what you can do differently. Play around and experiment with various pieces and consider whether you could be wearing them in more flattering (often slimming) way.

If you’re going to wear something long on top and short (cropped) on the bottom, consider highlighting your waist to visually lengthen your legs.

Outdated “style rule”…

“Redheads shouldn’t wear red.”

Don’t let this, or other old-fashioned “rules”, restrict your personal style.
