MEAGHAN SMITH PERSONAL STYLIST

Funny isn’t it how we might have seen this photo 7 – 9 years ago, while skinny low-rise jeans were all the rage – and thought, while beautiful, how outdated the clothes Diana wore in it looked.

Now, it’s quite the opposite, almost everything Diana’s wearing, from the large gold earrings and the oversized white shirt to the high-rise relaxed, straight jeans, are all in fashion – while skinny is not. (I know some of you are still wearing them – & that’s ok) If we didn’t know better, this pic of Diana could almost be mistaken for being a recent one, not nearly 30 years old, like it is.

I wonder what we’ll (those who gave them up ????) think when skinnies come back in again…& they will.

What goes around comes around.

Rather than just wearing one necklace, try layering two or more together.

It might be several delicate chains or a mix of fine, with heavier chains, which will create more texture.

Wear them close or far apart.

Play around to see what feels right for you and your personal style.

This is Elsa Peretti in 1974. She’s wearing several ‘Diamonds By The Yard’ necklaces which she designed and you can still buy from Tiffany & Co.

I love the simplicity of this outfit and effectiveness of the accessories. (The color’s beautiful too.)

Imagine how different it would look without the glasses, earrings, brooch, bag, scarf, and ring.

(I’m off to eBay and Etsy now to search for a vintage gold flower bud brooch.)

It might just look like a blazer and a pair of jeans but it’s more than that.

This is what I notice…

The fine stripe on both the jacket & the shirt.
The gold on the glasses, the bag & her bangles.
The plaited belt.
The sleeves of her shirt poking out at the end of her jacket.
The slightly relaxed fit of the jeans.
The size, color & length of the bag.

It’s all these details that give an outfit texture and depth and make it look interesting, modern & pulled together – even if it’s something quite simple – like this one appears to be.
