Choosing the right accessories for your mood

Choosing the right accessories for your mood

No day is ever the same. Sometimes we wake up ready to take the world head on, grab the bull by the horns etc and when we are in that frame of mind we dress to impress. We feel fantastic and the world should know it!

Then there are the days when we wake up and know that it is going to be a ‘fat day’. We find the baggiest clothes in our wardrobe and dress not to be noticed.

Our wardrobes have to reflect these extremes of mood, both the clothes and the accessories – sometimes the accessories even more so. For example, the same simple pencil dress can look like a party dress with your hair tied up and a pair of striking, sparkling jewellery earrings. However don a pair of simple studs or small understated earrings, put your hair down and you might be popping down the shops.

Make sure that you have the right accessories in your collection for whatever mood you are in. Just take a look at these fantastic jewellery earrings from love2have.co.uk

New Years Outfits

shopping3There are many tricky aspects when it comes to your “big bash” outfit for the New Years celebration, particularly when it comes to women’s clothes. This is a time for fake eyelashes, shameless sequins, and plenty of other fashion faux pas that would otherwise be unacceptable, even for evening-ware. It is a night to go all out, to embody glam, but not to be confused as a working girl while walking down the street. Here are some important rules to follow when planning your outfit to bring in the New Year.

Sequins, glitter, shimmer, and metallic elements are fine, just don’t use them all because you can’t decide which you prefer. Glittery eye makeup is a given, but don’t overdo it and take after a drag queen. Wear some fake lashes, and some shimmery eyeshadow in a silver shade. Don’t combine color and shimmer too much, keep it to the grey scale spectrum of black, white and grey.

If you don’t feel like buying a new dress or outfit, find a sequined cinch belt and add it to your little black dress, pair it with some flashy heels and you’re set.

Women’s Business Suit Trends

femaleThe most acceptable business attire for women is the professional suit. However, when the Internet business boomed, work dresses became more casual. Yet still, the professional look is achieved with a suit.
Currently, the most popular trends in women’s suits include shirt suits matched with fitted and shaped jackets. The necklines are also more interesting than before. Some suits have sweetheart, asymmetrical, and portrait necklines. Other features include: back buttons, ruches, jewelled buttons, banded waists and metallic threads.
Generally, the trend of business suits hasn’t changed much. The styles were just recycled form time to time.
For some time, the men’s wear look became a fad. In the 1980s, women wanted to dress like men. These power suits come in bold colors and blouses with tie fronts. Lately, dressing like a man meant wearing wonderfully cut suits in tweeds colored gray or chocolate.
However, no matter what fad is making a fuss with women’s fashion and in business suits particularly, there are some professional suits that never change. Pinstripes will always be in style. Gray, black, and navy are the domineering colors of suits.
A very well-made suit can outlive any other trend. A good tailor can be useful in making you wear a quality suit over and over again. A tailor can do magic in adding some details in your suit or in changing some details in order to make your suit more updated. Usually, all it would take is to change the buttons. When you have a suit with a full skirt, your tailor can turn it into pencil style.
