I am generally known among my friends and acquaintances as a keen shopper, with a particular penchant to clothes which have some particular detail that make them different. I often get asked where do I find such great items, that never miss to steal a glance or two on the street.
My favourite pastime is browsing through various fashion magazines, sometimes cutting an image out if it looks inspiring: this may be a detail such as a pair of socks, a necklace or a particular shape of skirt. The city where I live is not very well equipped with shops, I seldom find such particular items, so mostly I resort to the internet, an endless well of inspiration for everything you're looking for.
One of my recent purchase on an UK based retail store, were a pair of sunglasses with a lace frame. I bought them on sale and it was a real bargain, so I have them transformed into eyeglasses and they look gorgeous and really special! Then, I was just leafing through Vanity Fair (Italian edition) and spotted a similar model of glasses by Ferragamo, costing a fortune!
So you see, you don't have to spend a fortune on a new style, you just have to be informed and know the right places where to find something that won't ruin your financial plan!
For all the working ladies out there, I wanted to highlight some of the essential buys that will boost up your wardrobe and your confidence too (works for me each time!).
So, let's start with a nice coat, which is as essential as you can get.
Swing coats are back on the scene big time, on the trail of Mad Men success. Then, you can add accessories depending on your daily mood or style. For example, a cinch-waist belt will go well with black tights and pumps. For a touch of glamour, you can go with a faux-fur collar and black leather gloves. For a really retro touch, a nice silk sash will be just the right detail.
You will also need a nice skirt. This season's skirts go for a wide variety of choices and personal tastes. The balloon skirt is very versatile, it can boost up a dull office combo even if it's black, or can be a playful main piece, such as the floral ones, and just be paired with a simple shirt and nice tights.
The pleated skirt is also back on the scene, comes in a great variety of patterns, and its perfect for that retro look, with a pair of simple flats.
Then there are tartans and florals, in a variety of lengths, if you choose an office skirt, it's always nice to wear some thick tights if the skirt is a bit on the short side. A pair of boots or ankle boots will complete the whole ensemble.
This season's essential is the dress. On those mornings when you think there's absolutely no inspiration in your wardrobe, the dress will come to your rescue.
I always keep a good stock of tights (black, patterned, gray, blue, violet), add a nice bracelet or a belt, and you're ready to rock!
My choice of dresses this season is a black bandeau dress with a balloon skirt, I had it custom made, and I can wear it in so many different ways. A white crisp blouse with a statement-belt and some lace tights will always be a good choice if you need to look fresh. A Breton striped shirt and some knee high socks with ankle boots will be more on the playful side. A black shirt underneath will make it look like a new dress, you can go for patterned tight for that touch of colour (pink hearts, roses, dots) and some patent heels.
So, as you can see, it's always important to do a bit of accessorizing, changing the outfit each time, so you always look new and interesting. Let each outfit be a statement of your personal tastes, be playful and enjoy each time you create something different!
