Mirror, mirror...

In today’s complex world, it is challenging for women to project a clear clothing message.  A woman often bridges several worlds, functioning in a professional role, as well as being a wife and mother.

Often times women must choose clothing that carries them through several roles, sometimes in a very short time span, throughout the day.  Colour can really save the day especially when you need a pick-me-up!

More importantly, colour choices should be given due consideration in a woman’s daily routine for keeping in tune with her inner balance and harmony. Timeless, classical elegance suits all women.

Building the finest wardrobe often means adding one garment at the time.  Every wardrobe has a beginning to which there is no end. You always add to your closet, tweaking and adjusting what goes in and what comes out.

Basic wardrobe building starts with your choice of a primary colour such as black brown or navy.  Next, add a colour such as white or cream (whichever looks best against your skin tone) for your secondary colour choice.  Select camel or grey as your tertiary wardrobe decisions and choose a splash of colour, red or magenta, as the final addition in the ‘new you’ wardrobe.

Carefully select and coordinate a few basic garments by choosing solid colours that you can mix and match with solid or multi coloured accessories.

Here is a simple list of the top ten garments to include in your wardrobe after the basics:

  1. For summer, a light coloured two-piece suit, a darker colour two-piece suit for winter
  2. One solid colour blazer and one sweater
  3. Two basic skirts (flared or straight)
  4. One classic pair of pants
  5. Two solid colour blouses
  6. One pinstripe blouse
  7. Two shirts
  8. One shirtdress (to wear with a jacket)
  9. One classic dress (basic colour to accessorize and change the look)
  10. One all weather coat

When is the last time you heard someone say “I don’t have anything to wear?”  If this sounds like you, perhaps it’s time for a change.

C ommon sense
H ave fun with colour
A lign your style with your personality
N ever be afraid to try a new look
G et a magazine to see what’s current and in style
E mbrace your Silhouette and select colours that compliment your skin tone

Spending lots of money on a new wardrobe does not ensure success – planning beforehand does!  An adequate and appropriate wardrobe is never completely finished.  It changes as often as you do including changes in your personal and professional life.

So, what does your wardrobe say about you?
