Ahh September, how i love you... the warmth on my skin, the small of jasmine in the air and the start of the new fashion season! This Spring brings with it pretty dresses, glittery nails and cute accessories. Being on my tiny Maccas budget i really dont have the money to indulge my fashion cravings - cheaper department stores here i come. This means that you're much more likely to see someone in the same outfit as you. Oh no! To combat this potential catastrophe i have come up with a two part plan: shop where you wouldn't normally and customise your clothes.
Think about it, you walk into a shop and you head straight towards the women's clothing area, along with every other girl, but just for a moment, take a look around, there are so many fashion possibilities lurking just out of sight on those untouched male racks - in places like JayJays especially, they sell really cool guys tees. Read: cut off the sleeves and down the neckline or roll the sleeves and belt, wear with leggings and killer heels. You can also add pretty buttons or badges to add a touch of eccentricity to your wardrobe.
Accessorise, accessorise, accessorise. This is the key to making any outfit look stunning. If your outfit's looking a little dull, add some bright bangles or clutch, while a vibrant ensemble may be accentuated with black and silver accessories. But while accessorising is important, minimalism is the key - don't go overboard or you'll look like a kid playing dress-ups.
One final tip: dress to suit you! There are two main factors that influence the way you should dress - your body shape and your colouring (this doesn't just mean whether you tan or not). A great site to help you make sense of all this is: http://www.fashionadvice.biz/index.html
To conclude my first post of the Spring i shall leave you with the gorgeous Ms Emma Watson - she's come a long way from robes and frizzy hair.
Enjoy Spring in all its prettiness!
