In the styling world, no words were more true than these.  Every day you put yourself out there, as though on your own personal runway, with the world watching.  People will love/like/couldn’t care/hate.  But what matters is how you feel.  And when you are in love with your style it shows and it is empowering.  The biggest hurdle to overcome when dressing as your true self is fear.  What if people think I look ridiculous?  Will people judge me?  Can I do this?  Ignore all of these inhibiting thoughts and just do it.  And if you want to wear that hat, please please please do!!  We love hats and why aren’t you women wearing them???  They look so gorgeous, flatter the face, complement hair, provide sun block out, hide black roots, hide unwashed hair, hide bad hair day etc etc.  Why are we not all wearing more hats, (and race days are not included in this discussion).  Answer is confidence.  Buy a hat and wear it!  Any money at least one person, if not more, will compliment you on it.  Try it and prove us wrong!

Ok so silver pants are a little “out there” but how amazing do they look??  When we think silver pants we think outer space, robots, alien beings, Samantha Jones from Sex and the City!!  It certainly takes a whole lotta confidence to put these on but once you do there’s no turning back. The key is how you style the rest of your outfit to look well balanced.  As in this look, keep the top half neutral and very simple.  Basic T, white, grey, black and soft blazer style jacket or 3/4 sleeve length black jacket works beautifully.  Tip: make sure the jacket shoulders are well defined as they will draw the eye upwards and keep the focus on the entire outfit as opposed to just THOSE silver pants. And the belt is stunning, the perfect addition to tone down the pants.  The only drawback with pants like these is that they are remembered which means you can’t get away with wearing them too often.  However if you have an endless list of friends and socialise with different groups then you wear these pants till they wear out!!  With regards to shoes keep them neutral.  A pair of grey tone pumps would work beautifully.  All items worn with these pants must be toned down to make the pants the hero, including accessories.

You’ll find others will look at you, envy you, admire your confidence, love your look and wish they could wear it too so carry yourself proudly.  A smiling face is the best accessory.  Remember that 🙂
