Fashionista Sista

Hey kats and kittens,

These are fashion rules you can count on to keep you looking fresh, cool and put together all the time, however some of them are to help you take a risk and try something new.  If you have any rules that you swear by, or that you think you would like to add please drop us a line and comment.  You have to put clothes on everyday anyway, you may as well have fun with it!!  Life’s too short to be a bore.  Rock it out rockstar!  

1. If it feels awkward don’t wear it. 

2. If you are going to be tugging at your clothes all day don’t wear it. 

3. If there are just too many colours in your outfit and you resemble a piñata tone it down sister.

4. If your wearing all black all the time… get a life.  Life’s too short.

5. If you’re wearing one colour from top to bottom. Ugh!  The only time this rule is moot is when wearing a suit or a dress. 

6. When in doubt wear one item of denim at a time except maybe jeans and a denim vest or a jean jacket… sometimes that works, but not often unless you’re a biker or cowboy!!!  This goes for leather as well.  Accessories don’t count obviously.

7. Get yourself a cool medium size purse or bag in a random bright colour for a fun new look.

8. Say no to crack and thongs showing… that is beyond passe!!! 

9. If your “clothes are wearing you” don’t wear them.  When this happens you either need to work on your self confidence or just tone your outfit down so that your personality shines. 

10. If the silhouette isn’t figure flattering don’t wear it.      

11. Try layering.  It can be your best friend.  Layering is all about experimenting.  If it doesn’t work take it off, but try it first because it may look great.  For a more casual look I layer almost everything first with a white boybeater tank.  I have at least 5 in my closet at a time and a few coloured ones as well to layer over top.  Then I layer sweaters, hoodies, shrugs, and other lighter tops over them.  The key to layering is trying it out first and if it feels wierd take it off. Try it.. 

12. When shopping and you just don’t know… try it on.

13. If there is too many things to fix on a garment that you want to buy… don’t buy it.

14. Tailoring is great, but the garment has to be worth it!

15. If you haven’t tried the “new look “on, give it a try you can always take it off.  If one label doesn’t fit you in that hot style you dig, try it in a different label.  It might fit you better than the last one did.  Each designer uses a different fit model so not every label fits the same way! 

16. To keep it fresh and seriously fashionable if you wear a loose knitted garment on top, opt for a tailored pant or skirt on the bottom and vice versa. If you wear a knited flowy skirt, dress or a loose pair of pants try wearing a clean lined tailored jacket or something simple on top.  If you wear a loose knitted garment on top and bottom it can be a bit sloppy.. catch my drift?     

17. Wear a piece or jewelry with your everyday outfits be it to work at the office or jeans and a tee.  Show some personality!  Get inspired.

18. If you aren’t feeling confident that day don’t try to rock a new style or you may end up feeling worse than when you started.

19. Dress up rather than dress down.  When in doubt wear a tailored jacket.  It’ll always make you look smart. 

20. Dress for the event!!
