As far as adding colour to my wardrobe goes, I often find myself drawn to navy blue and other such muted shades. I also feel that navy is a colour which lends itself to wedding guest outfits. Black and white, usual go-to colours for me, aren’t traditionally appropriate for such events, but navy feels like a…
I find myself wearing a lot of monochrome outfits. Partly because they are just so easy to style, but also because a lot of the foundational pieces of my wardrobe tend to be based around a similar colour palette and so I inadvertently find myself styling outfits this way. I love the idea of a…
I used to find ‘smart casual’ one of the hardest dress codes to dress for. However, over the years I’ve come to realise that it all comes down to one simple but effective trick; mixing a a more formal piece with a casual piece. The formal / casual contrast balances out the outfit creating a look…
