Wardrobe lessons
Not taking the easy route I recently offered to clear my late mother’s clothes. It was a joyful experience, as I had time to remember her in some of the clothes that I had seen her wear, and to reflect on a long and fortunate life. She enjoyed shopping for new things and using them. […]
Ignorance is bliss!
I have met lots of people who have no idea what colours to wear to enhance their look. Of course, ignorance is bliss – they can wear everything in their wardrobe without worry! But, do they … wear everything in their wardrobe? Or, do they reach for their few favourites? Or, have they examined any […]
What can I wear this Christmas time?
I help people look their best and be confident to enjoy events, like parties, such as at this time of year. Unfortunately, not everyone looks great in black or navy, which are colours that are usually prominent particularly in December. If black isn’t your best look you may be thinking that it will be difficult […]
Ethical Fashion: What does it mean to you?
How can we be more sustainably conscious with our clothes? Use them more, recycle, and buy less I’m no expert, but I’ve been thinking – probably before ethical fashion became buzz words – that we should use and recycle our clothes more and not consume so much. Some of my clients know the joy it […]
Sleeves
Why have sleeves? Sleeves are used for a variety of reasons, namely to: Cover upper arms, which as women age they like to do, or for those who dislike their arms, perhaps covering a tattoo, vaccination marks etc; Add to the overall effect of the garment, giving balance; Give balance to the body shape (eg […]
Funeral: black or colour?
Watching Prince Philip’s funeral was quite a sobering experience. It was a dignified end to an extraordinary life, and Covid restrictions were a mixed blessing (less “fuss” as the Duke would have wanted, but sad to see the Queen so isolated). It’s easy to dress top to toe in black, if that’s what’s required at […]
Blouses – do you wear them?
Men wear shirts, women wear blouses. Some women purposely wear shirts (which are usually too big on them), and this developed in the last few years into the fashion of a ‘shirt dress’ (although those are not “oversized”). Blouses – who wears them? I have lots of blouses in my wardrobe, but don’t tend to […]
Which NECKLINES suit you?
What makes a neckline work for you? I used to think your best neckline was to do with your face shape. Yes, that does have a bearing on it, but there are some other factors that also impact a great neckline. For example, the width between your shoulders, proportion of shoulders to hips, your bust, […]
Lockdown Wardrobe Clear-out
Lockdown Wardrobe Clear-out You’ve had a “lockdown” wardrobe clear-out, and you’re itching to get rid of everything now you’ve decided what’s going. However, the charity shops are going to be swamped with everyone’s things, and they’re busy coping with a “new normal” whilst Covid-19 is still out there. So your clothes may well sit in a […]
How times have changed: 1985 to 2020
Today is our 35th wedding anniversary: 1st June 1985. The ceremony was planned for 2pm. My husband and I were reflecting last night on all the changes to the buildings in that time – where we met is now a housing estate, where we had our wedding breakfast is now a block of flats, and […]
