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.

How To Wear Cropped Jeans Without Making Your Legs Look Shorter Than They Are

4 Feb

If you’d like to wear a pair of cropped jeans (or pants) but are concerned they will make your legs appear shorter, look for styles that have a higher rise…and if possible, wear a heel (even if it’s just a small wedge or kitten heel)  *You don’t need to wear a heel, but you should be careful what shoes you do wear. Some styles can elongate the leg and others can make your legs appear shorter than they are. 

Don’t be put off by the idea of a high-rise style. They sit differently on everyone – depending on the length of the torso.

Like all styles, they might work, they might not.

Remember shopping is about trying on and sampling.

*And while this picture above is of a young, tall, slim model – this applies to all of us at any age, height or size.

**And when I say cropped, I do not mean three quarter length. Like so!

***This also applies for cuffing/rolling your jeans and cutting your jeans.

The Casual Blazer

5 May

A blazer pulls it all together and makes everything smarter.

A casual blazer is a dressier option than a cardie.

..and as you can see above a blazer can even be worn with sneakers.

If you’ve only ever related blazers to school or work, try and get your head around wearing them casually.

It’s just a matter of trying different styles to find something that works for you.

TIP  If you have a blazer in your wardrobe make sure it fits you properly. I often find my clients do have a blazer or two in the wardrobe, but often they don’t fit.  *Hint – the one above fits perfectly

Put your blazer on and pay special attention to:

  • the length and width of the sleeves
  • how it sits across your shoulders
  • how it sits across your bust
  • how it fits across your back
  • how it fits at the waist
  • the length

…..& finally how it’s fitting under your arms

Remember – Near enough is not good enough if looking stylish is important to you.
