MEAGHAN SMITH PERSONAL STYLIST

A metallic shoe acts in the same way as a nude shoe – it’s neutral – and therefore pretty much works with everything.

If you picture this outfit above with black shoes, they’d probably be too heavy.  The lighter gold shoe, is just right.

If you tend to always choose a black shoe because they’re safe, (And you think they go with everything – which is not right) challenge yourself to try something different.

Don’t save your big bold earrings for evenings or occasions.

Wear them during the day with a knit, a denim jacket, a striped t-shirt, a white shirt or a casual canvas jacket.

They’ll instantly make something basic, look interesting.

You might recall a couple of weeks ago I talked about how to wear black and white.  Hopefully by now you’ve had a chance to go through your wardrobe and consider what black and white pieces you own and have been able to come up with many different ways to wear them.

Now it’s time to add another color(shade) into the mix.

Grey.

You might think you can’t wear grey, but don’t give up on it til you’ve tried several different shades. (For example a light grey might make you look a bit washed out, but a charcoal could be fine)  Or if you like it and feel you can’t (don’t want to) wear it near your face, consider a shoe, pair of jeans, skirt, bag or pants.

One way you can change the look of some of your autumn/winter pieces is to add fancy hosiery.

Don’t just think of tights as something you wear for warmth – think of them as an item you can add to your clothes as decoration.

Black is certainly chic and somewhat safe, but don’t be afraid to experiment with other colors if it suits your personality and the image you’re wanting to portray.

Updating your wardrobe doesn’t always mean having to spend a lot of money.

Be creative!

Here’s some polka dot tights I found on sale.
