Winter Wardrobe Essentials

Can you believe it's time to bring out our Winter woolies again?
A new season is the best time to update your look.
With so much fashion in the shops and magazines
it can get very confusing. 
My top tip for this Winter is ...buy less TRENDY items, buy more STATEMENT pieces. Invest in clothes that are wearable time and again. To find out what key pieces you should opt for read on.

50’s Ladylike Charm:
Curvy girls are back in fashion -YAY!
Figure hugging dresses and skirts finished off with a belt. Choose from pencil skirts to A-lined full skirts/ shirt dresses. Jackets are cropped and fitted or long and loose. Skirts & dresses are worn just below the knee.

Rules for wearing Full Skirts:
1: Stick to neutrals.
2: Keep it slim and fitted on top – add a poloneck or a fitted blouse.
3: The low-cut ankle boot is perfect to modernise a full skirt.

The leopard Print:
Wild leopard spots are seen in shoes, scarves, handbags. Ease animal prints into the office wardrobe with neutral separates and a pop of colour eg RED.

'70s Sophistication:
• High waisted wide-leg pants.They make your legs look super slim and chic!
• Cigarette Pants - narrow cut ending at the ankle.
• Pussy bow-blouses, with billowing sleeves in silk, satin or velvet. 
• Statement collars on coats and jackets are the rage.
• Polonecks-a great basic item each winter-update it in the right colours-wear under a shift dress.
Layering:
Select waistcoats, cardigans, gilets, blouses and layer creative. The secret is not to make use of fabrics that are too bulky. Buy a COATIGAN- a knee length combination of a cardigan and a coat.

Fabulous Fashion boots:
It’s short boots and chunky heels all the way this Winter.
The Must-Have pair for this season-a neutral colour, high-heeled, lace-up shoe boot. Stay away from the thigh high “Pretty Woman” boots, sheepskin trims, studs and biker straps.
