MEAGHAN SMITH PERSONAL STYLIST

Like everything you wear, your jewellery should feel authentic to you and your personal style.

Choose it thoughtfully, in a way that reflects your individuality. The most meaningful pieces are often those with a story — earrings found on a holiday in Italy, your Nan’s pearls, or your Dad’s watch.

This is Costanza Pascolato. Among her jewellery, you’ll almost always find a silver skull ring — a distinctive piece that has become her signature.

Bookending, in styling, is where you use a color (or metallic) on the top and bottom of the outfit to create symmetry.

As you can see in the photo above, it’s a white top and white shoes.

In this pic (above), you can see it’s different. (Still good, just different.)

The trick is not to make it look too predictable or matchy-matchy (i.e., a hot pink hat and hot pink shoes with all black in between)—but to subtly and cleverly balance the top of the outfit with the bottom and essentially pull the look together.

Andie MacDowell (arriving at Nice airport for the Cannes Film Festival) and showing us how chic all black can be – especially when you’re wearing it with great accessories.

*The thing about traveling with a dress like this, is that you could make it work for different events/occasions by swapping the accessories. i.e. hair down, add jewellery, a heel and a clutch OR a hat, a straw bag, and a slide or sneaker, etc…

My client sent me this pic yesterday to show me how she’d changed a dress I’d shared on my Fab Finds, into this skirt.

This is what she said….

And this, is the original dress…

The thing is, clothes off the rack are not always going to work for us. Whether the fit isn’t quite right or you’d prefer it with a different sleeve, cropped, narrowed or lengthened – always be open to making alterations so that the piece becomes perfect for you.

I think it looks pretty great, don’t you?
