MEAGHAN SMITH PERSONAL STYLIST

I assumed that this was common knowledge, but recently when I mentioned it to a client, discovered that’s not necessarily the case..

Did you know that most zips on jeans (at least good quality brands) have little locks to keep them from falling down?

After you’ve pulled the zip up, push the little handle in as close as possible to the teeth so that it locks in. You then won’t be able to pull the zip down without lifting the handle up.

It’s time to start thinking about what your wardrobe needs for spring.

Go through it and consider what should be replaced (ie what’s looking tired) and what gaps need filling. (Preventing you from creating more outfits).

Do you need fresh new t-shirts, have you got great shoes to wear when it warms up and do you have at least one casual jacket? (Ie not a coat and not a cardigan)

Maybe, if it works for your style and lifestyle – a denim jacket?

(If you already have one, does it still cut it? Does it still look current or has it become outdated?)

If you need help working out what gaps need filling and/or filling them you can book in for a styling session here

I’ve talked before about using Pinterest to help you develop your style.  This time I thought I’d give you an example of how I use it to give me ideas for new outfits using the clothes I have in my wardrobe.

Recently I can across the image above while I was scanning through my feed.  It instantly caught my eye. To be honest I think it was probably the red shoes that grabbed my attention.  (If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know I have a thing for red)

The simplicity of the outfit and the combination of gingham, white and red, appealed to me.

While I don’t wear shorts (well maybe if I was on a beachy holiday) and I’m certainly not as young or tall as Alexa, I was inspired by the photo to come up with this outfit (Using all pieces I had in my wardrobe)…

When you’re looking at images on Pinterest I want you to try and look past the fact that the women in the photos might be younger, older, thinner, taller, shorter than you.  I want you to use the photos as inspiration and ask yourself,  if you see something that appeals to you, how you could interpret the look to suit you.

Don’t just save your trench for work..or good, try wearing it casually with your jeans and a smart pair of sneakers.

This could be a good casual Friday outfit. Casual, yet sophisticated. Just pop your shoes on when you get to the office. ( I used to keep an array of shoes under my desk when I worked at the bank)
