MEAGHAN SMITH PERSONAL STYLIST

I’m taking a *trip at the end of this month for a couple of weeks.

So…..if you’ve been thinking about booking in for a Wardrobe Overhaul,  some outfit planning or shopping in preparation for spring, now’s the time to do it (while I still have availability before I head away).

I’m also taking bookings for my return in mid September (Which can start to be the beginning of crazy time in the lead up to the Spring Racing Carnival, so secure your appointment now)

Don’t miss out!  (Email me here for my availability)

(Keep in mind I take shopping appointments til 7pm Monday – Thursday.  I’m squeezing in as many sessions as I can, to get you ready for spring, before I go)

You’ll be able to follow my trip (what I pack, what I discover, what I buy, where I go, what I do and what I’d recommend) on Instagram here.

My client yesterday, who is about to start a new job, bought two suits  – and with my stylist discount, saved almost $400.

I also introduced her to a few of my favourites around the traps – which all happened to be on sale.

My favourite white shirt is currently 50% off, high-waisted dark denim slim jeans (ideal for casual Friday) were also half price (about $60) and a favourite black skirt ($99 from $180) and matching jacket $199 from $329) were also heavily discounted.

Needless to say we had a pretty successful day.

The saving alone from Saba covered the cost of me 🙂

Chinos.

An alternative to jeans.

Wear them casually with sneakers or dressed up a bit with heels.

In summer with a t-shirt or winter with a knit.

Just like jeans, not all chinos are the same.

They can be slim, wide leg, high-waisted, relaxed, etc, etc.

Tip 1. – Try different sizes.  I have some that I wear quite firm and others I wear looser.  (ie I’ve bought them in two different sizes)  *Nowadays I prefer them slightly slouchy.

Tip 2. – Show some ankle!

If you’d like some help shopping for a pair of chinos (or another alternative to your jeans if chinos are not your thing) you can contact me to enquire or book in here

If you bought a pleated skirt in summer and you thought you’d have to pack it away now til next year – it’s not the case at all.

When it was warm you may have worn it with a cami, blouse or tee and sandals, now in autumn and then into winter, try winterfying it by teaming it with a knit, jacket, tights and boots, pumps or brogues.  (If it’s warm enough – or you don’t feel the cold like I do – you can even wear it with bare legs and sneakers)

Like all things fashion, this style won’t work for everyone, but if you like the look, don’t be afraid to give the pleated skirt a try.  Some of my clients, who were not completely sold on the idea at first, have been very pleasantly surprised that, with clever styling (on top and on the feet), the right fabric, length and fit (you want it to skim rather than cling over the hips) it has worked beautifully for them and has added an interesting and versatile piece to their wardrobe.  (I’d wear mine to a wedding, to the races, out shopping or to lunch. I’ll try and remember to show you on Instagram.)
