Styling Florals with Finesse:
Pairing with Neutrals:
Balance bold floral prints by pairing them with solid neutral colours like beige, white, grey, and black. This approach grounds the vivid patterns and creates a sophisticated, cohesive outfit. For instance, a floral dress with a beige trench coat looks chic, while floral pants can be effortlessly styled with a black top.

Repertoire | Cargo Pocket Pant | $359.00
Identity | Duke Jacket | $249.90
Repertoire | Dakota Pant | $329.00
Storm | Everglade Print Singlet
Choosing Complementary Colours
Enhance your floral patterns by selecting accessories and outerwear in complementary or matching neutral tones. Warm-toned florals are beautifully paired with tan or ivory accessories, while cooler florals are complemented by navy or gray accents. This subtle contrast enhances the harmony of your look.
When showcasing vibrant florals, opt for minimal accessories to maintain the focus on your statement pieces. Delicate jewellery such as small hoop earrings or thin bracelets works well, and a classic leather handbag in a neutral colour adds a touch of elegance without overpowering your outfit.

Footwear & Outerwear
Footwear:
Choose neutral or complementary footwear to highlight your florals. Classic options like nude pumps or white sneakers provide a polished finish.
Ecco Shoes | Womens Ecco Soft 60 | $219.00
Marlow | Mirage Blazer | $399.00
Outerwear:
Select solid neutrals or subtle prints for outer layers to ensure that your florals remain the focal point. A tailored blazer or lightweight trench in a neutral shade adds a stylish touch.
Seasonal Styling Tips
Layer your floral pieces with solid sweaters or jackets on cooler days, ensuring that outer layers are in neutral or complementing colours. Add personal style with simple statement pieces like a sleek belt or minimalistic scarf, keeping the florals as the centrepiece of your outfit.
Fashion-Forward Examples: ● Daytime Elegance: Pair a floral maxi dress with a beige cardigan and tan sandals, accessorizing with simple gold jewellery for a refined finish. ● Evening Sophistication: Combine a floral blouse with black tailored trousers and nude pumps, finishing with a black clutch and minimalistic silver earrings for a chic, sophisticated look.
By balancing vibrant floral prints with solid neutrals, keeping accessories understated, and choosing complementary pieces, you’ll step into the season with style and confidence. Visit Milford Shopping Centre to discover your perfect floral look and essential spring wardrobe pieces.

View our latest Trend Report to guide you in crafting the perfect winter capsule wardrobe!
This month, we’re excited to guide you in building the perfect winter capsule wardrobe—a thoughtfully curated collection of essential items designed to keep you warm, stylish, and comfortable throughout the cold season. A winter capsule wardrobe prioritises versatile, high-quality pieces that can be effortlessly mixed and matched to create a range of outfits. Key components include cozy knitwear, durable outerwear, insulated footwear, and versatile accessories, all selected in a cohesive colour palette. By emphasising functionality and timeless style, a winter capsule wardrobe simplifies daily dressing, reduces closet clutter, and supports sustainable fashion choices.
A winter capsule wardrobe offers numerous benefits:
Simplicity and Convenience: Easier decision-making and time-saving.
Cost-Effectiveness: Quality over quantity.
Sustainability: Reducing waste.
Personal Style Enhancement: Defined style.
Mindfulness and Contentment: Intentional living.
Typically, a capsule wardrobe includes a limited number of pieces, often around 30-40 items, that cover all your wardrobe needs for a specific season or lifestyle. The idea is to focus on quality over quantity, ensuring that each piece is both functional and stylish. Key components usually include:
Basics: Core items like plain t-shirts, jeans, and neutral sweaters.
Versatile Pieces: Items that can be dressed up or down, such as a blazer, a little black dress, or tailored trousers.
Outerwear: Jackets and coats suitable for the season.
Footwear: Essential shoes like sneakers, boots, and dress shoes.

As winter arrives, many of us instinctively turn to oversized layers, and a palette of black or muted colours as the weather gets darker and colder. From bulky sweaters to dark outerwear, it’s a season marked by the art of hiding in plain sight. We’re missing out on the opportunity to infuse a bit of vibrancy on those chill & dreary days, with warm stylish pieces that incorporate a splash of colour.
Blue Illusion | Wool Textured Jumper | $199.99Flo & Frankie | Annabelle Winter White Puff Knit Top | $89.90
Keeping Warm
Firstly, let’s address the common winter habit of opting for bulky knits in the quest for superior warmth. Choosing lightweight wool layers during winter can transform your silhouette. These layers not only keep you warm but also offer flexibility and versatility in styling.
Lightweight Merino pieces allow you to manage your outfit proportions better, accentuating your best features while subtly minimising areas you’re less confident about. Additionally, these layers give you the freedom to adjust your outfit according to fluctuating temperatures throughout the day, helping you stay confident and comfortable all season long.
Apart from the common mistake of bulky knits, what other tactics do people employ to “hide” during the winter? Opting for a muted colour palette is another. It’s astonishing how many times I’ve heard someone confess, “My summer wardrobe bursts with colour, but come winter, it’s all black and grey.”

Brighten Up Winter Days
Shouldn’t winter be the perfect time to add colour? I get that some people associate colour with sunny days, but why not brighten up the dreary winter months?
Adding colour not only makes you look better, it gives the impression you’re confident, and cheers up those around you! I always encourage my clients to buy a colourful winter coat, it honestly makes people on the street smile at you.

Colour Analysis is Key
Getting your colours done is also 100% back in fashion. My phone has been ringing red hot with requests for colour analysis sessions. This is being driven by social media platforms like Instagram & TikTok, and a desire for personalised fashion. People are seeking professional advice to find colours that enhance their natural features, co-ordinate within their wardrobe, and help them make more considered purchases.

So, stay warm, stay colourful, and don’t hide away. Embrace winter fashion, and say no to boring, bulky clothes. Trust me, when the compliments start rolling in, you’ll be glad you did. Contact me if you need help with any winter shopping at Milford Shopping Centre or a Colour Analysis, I’d love to help you embrace colour & style through the winter months.

Chic and elegant layering is in for Autumn. See insightful advice and ideas from fashion stylist, Trudi Bennett!
Dive into the art of chic and functional dressing for the season. Explore Trudi Bennett’s latest styles, tips, and must-have pieces to elevate your autumn wardrobe game. Embrace the changing seasons!
Mastering the Art of Layering
Now that the weather has officially turned, let’s talk layers! When you’re navigating the frosty embrace of the chilly seasons, mastering the art of layering can elevate your look to new heights. We’re not just talking about staying warm either, we’re talking about turning your outfit into a means of self-expression that adds depth, dimension, and style to your ensemble. Sound hard? It isn’t, so read on!
Seed Heritage | Wool Blend Tie Coat | $549.00
Flo & Frankie | V Neck Knit Jumper | $159.00
Textured Layers: Elevate Your Style with Dimension and Depth
As a lover of texture in an outfit, layering is the perfect way to incorporate it into your wardrobe. For instance, let’s say you have a favourite chunky jersey, now imagine throwing on a silk blouse underneath and then topping it off with a denim jacket.
That’s the magic of layering. Each fabric adds visual interest, with the contrast between rough and smooth, soft and structured. I’m showing my personal shopping clients’ lace, wool, pleather, denim, silk and knits as ideal layering options around Milford Shopping Centre at the moment.
And don’t even get me started on colours! The layering of different colours creates depth and dimension, transforming a mundane outfit into a cool outfit.
Image: Seasalt Cornwall | East View Vest Kelp | $139.00
Vivid Transformations
But let’s be honest, one of the real benefits of layering is how practical it is too. You know those days when the weather can’t make up its mind? Layering becomes a necessity when you need to be able to add or remove pieces during this temperamental start to the season.
Image: Marlow | Birch Blazer | $499.00
Exploring Versatile and Chic Styles
For Autumn layering this year, there are several exciting trends to explore. Layering lightweight pieces with heavier garments is a classic autumn styling technique that’s super popular in 2024. Think layering slip dresses over turtlenecks or pairing blazers with jerseys for a versatile and chic look. How about a woolly vest over a chiffon blouse? There really are endless options.
Decjuba | Esme Rhinestone Denim Jacket | $189.00
Moochi | Carnival Skirt Cream | $389.00
Unlock the Depth in Accessories
Don’t forget layering also includes accessories. If you fancy a bit of pattern mixing, why not try adding a striped scarf with a floral dress or a plaid scarf with a houndstooth blazer. Bags, coats and chunky boots all add an interesting aspect to your layered look too.
Mischeif Shoes | Carrano Brazil caro Boot | $329.00Identity | Arlo Shirt | $290.00Seed Heritage | Diagonal Rib Knit | $169.90Identity | Corey Twill Jacket | $239.00Mischief Shoes | Belle Scarpe Ricochet Boot | $299.90Blue Illusion | Point Check Blazer | $209.99
So next time you’re staring at your wardrobe, wondering what to wear remember this: layering isn’t just about staying warm, it’s about turning your outfit into a textural or colourful statement. Pop to Milford Shopping Centre this month and pick up a few pieces that include textures, colours, patterns, or are chunky and silky. After all, life’s too short to wear boring clothes, right?

Dive into Denim: Exploring the Timeless Trend Resurging in Fashion
In the ever-evolving world of fashion, trends come and go and then often swing back round again. One timeless staple that has made a roaring comeback, from catwalks to mainstream, is denim. From classic jeans to every style of denim jacket, and everything in between, denim once again reigns supreme. So, what makes this trend so irresistible, and who can rock it?
Coco & Belle | Classic Blazer | $169.90
Identity | Martha Sweater | $269.00
Unlocking Versatility in Every Style Scenario
One of the primary reasons behind denim’s enduring popularity is its incredible versatility. Whether you’re dressing up for a night out or aiming for a casual daytime look, denim makes the effortless transition between styles. A well-fitting pair of jeans can be dressed up with a blazer and heels for a sophisticated look or paired with sneakers and a graphic tee for a laid-back vibe. Similarly, a denim jacket can add a touch of cool to any outfit, whether layered over a dress or paired with tailored trousers.
The Ever-Evolving Saga of Denim
The history of denim is an interesting one. It all began in 1873 with Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis who joined forces to create pants tough enough for hardworking folks. But denim wasn’t a hit in the fashion stakes until 50s Hollywood heartthrobs like James Dean made it cool. Then the ’60s and ’70s happened, and denim went full hippie. Bubble-gum jeans in the 80s, the grunge aesthetic of the ’90s, denim is a trend that evolves with the times.
Image: Flo & Frankie | Sailor Scoop Rose | $169.99
Environmental Consciousness
That evolvement extends to sustainability. In an era of consumer consciousness, denim’s durability and longevity makes it a sustainable choice. High-quality denim pieces are built to last, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimizing the environmental impact of fast fashion.
Image: Repertoire | Lea Waistcoat | $379.00
Denim For All
There isn’t anyone who can’t wear denim. It’s not limited by age, gender, or body type – it’s a universally flattering fabric that looks fabulous on everyone. Whether you’re curvy, petite, tall, or anything in between, there’s a denim style that will complement your figure for maximum style and confidence.

Denim Decoded: Unveiling the Top Trends at Milford Shopping Centre
Let’s talk about the most popular denim trends in store at Milford Shopping Centre. Starting with wide-leg, bootcut and flared jeans. These styles are great for balancing body proportions and are super flattering. A hard-to-hear piece of styling advice on buying jeans is if the jean has lots of stretch in it, make sure it’s almost uncomfortably tight when you leave the shop. That way the ½ size of stretch will kick in, and you will have the ultimate fit. If they are comfortable, they WILL stretch more and potentially sag. In my experience, it takes around 3-4 wears before they are fully stretched out and no amount of washing will bring them back.

Decjuba | Sohia Denim Dress | $159.90
Flo & Frankie | Arlo Ribbed Knit | $89.95
Marlow | Chambray Shirt Dress $269.00
Beyond Jeans: Exploring Hot Denim Trends from Dresses to Sets
If jeans are not your thing, then other hot trends are denim dresses and skirts. There’s a mix of long and shorter, so you can decide – depending on your height – which one is going to suit you best. Denim shirts and sets are also big, yes folks DENIM ON DENIM IS BACK! And it’s cool again. Ya’ll, know I like a bit of matching for the colour flow I’ve talked so much about!
Blue Illusion | A- Line Denim Skirt | $159.00Decjuba | Stephanie Denim Jumpsuit | $209.90
So, there you have it, a few of the hottest denim trends of 2024, proving denim remains as versatile and stylish as ever. With winter coming and irrespective of whether you’re a fan of classic cuts or bold statement pieces, there’s a denim piece to suit every taste and style.

Wide Leg Trousers
Monday March 24
Expect wide-leg pants to remain a timeless essential beyond 2024. Check out styling advice from fashion stylist, Trudi Bennett!
If you’re a bit nervous about wearing wide-legged trousers, it’s time to branch out and be brave. That’s because wide-leg pants are going to continue to be an ongoing staple through 2024 on beyond.
If super-slim, skinny trousers or leggings are still your go-to, rest assured that not only are wide-leg pants relaxed and comfortable, they are flattering on everyone. One thing I particularly love about them is they are ageless. They’re the type of fashion trend that was made for women of any age. It’s one of the chicest ways to look stylish and put together, while still feeling comfortable. Additionally wide leg pants can be way more forgiving than skinny pants or other form-fitting trousers
Repertoire Laney Pant $359.00
Trousers to Suit Your Unique Silhouette
Whether you’re tall, petite, curvy, boyish—whatever your body type, they can work for you. The fitted waist and immediate flare, are great at enhancing your waistline and bum, meanwhile, giving your legs some elongation. For those who worry about their lower half, wide-leg trousers create a more balanced look over hips or thighs. That volume also makes them a good choice for those who feel their upper body needs more balance – (like wider shoulders or a larger bust).
Mastering the Art of Fabric Drape
If you don’t have the longest legs in the world, it’s best to pay attention to the drape of the fabric with your wide leg trousers. Too much fabric and you may feel overwhelmed by them. So, make sure they are fitted at the top and not too voluminous. If the fabric hangs and drapes well, then they look great! Better to also go full length on the trouser rather than the crop/ankle length version.
Flo & Frankie Instinctive Black Recycled Stretch Back Wide Leg Pant $139.90
Comfort & Style
I find with my clients’ – and myself to be honest- once I ditched to fitted jean and pant, I could never go back! They really are so comfortable, and infinitely more stylish. The old adage of flowing on the bottom suits a bit more structure on top is a good one to remember. Think a fitted denim jacket or blazer, giving you some great side shape. If adding volume on top, a sheer blouse semi-tucked also looks super nice.
Moochi Frame Pant $329.99
Sportscraft Nili Wide Leg Jean $189.99
Taking Shape Gia Wide Leg Evening Pant $159.99
Decjuba Renee Bow Flare Jean $139.90
Identity Naples Womens Pant $129.95
Sportscraft Bianca Pleat Pant $229.99
Ella + Eli Two by Two Alby Top $159.00
Storm Taupe Tab Detail Wide Leg Pant $249.90
Shoes to Match
What shoes to wear with your wide leg trousers? Mostly anything goes. Ballet flats to sneakers, wedges to heels, brogues to sandals. Pretty much most shoes look good so don’t let this be the barrier that puts you off – as it does a lot of people!
I do believe there really IS a wide leg trousers to suit you at Milford Shopping Centre. All the fashion stores have them, in a range of fabrics, volume and length. Find the one for you and step out in comfortable, style, and the latest fashion – the trifecta!

Cool Elegance: Conquering The Heat
With the summer heat upon us, it’s almost a blessing that white, the world’s most beloved neutral, is dominating 2024’s fashion palette. Embraced by everyday folk and celebrities alike – including many red-carpet attendees – white-on-white is having a resurgence with both men and women. From flowing dresses to structured suits, white clearly has a very versatile appeal.
Repertoire Zalea Chiffon Cape Top $230.00
This colour, or non-colour if you like, has a strong and varied history. In 1840 Queen Victoria was the first person to wear white to her wedding to Prince Albert, and that began the white wedding dress tradition.
White parties are commonplace nowadays around the world. During the 80’s in Paris, a Frenchman helped push the parties into the modern era. He hosted a Dinner en Blanc and requested that all attendees wear white. The concept took flight. Nowadays it’s still popular, with the underlying theme that an all-white dress code makes everyone equal.
Trenery Linen Panel Detail Shirt Dress $259.00
Simple Styling
There is no denying there’s a simple elegance to an all-white ensemble. Geri Halliwell from the Spice Girls certainly feels that way. Many years ago, she adopted wearing entirely white and cream as her signature style. “Everything becomes simple,” she said of her colour choice. “I like the colour, and I don’t have to think in the mornings. She adds “I don’t know about you, but as you get older, you want to keep it simple.”
Moochi Area Tank $269.99Moochi Coached Pant $339.99
Cool or Warm Tone White?
Let’s talk how to wear it, and its pro’s a con’s. There is definitely a white fabric shade for every skin tone. Those that suit a cool palette should stick to the clear, bright, true whites that are a great contrast on your skin. If you have a warm undertone (like me!) look for off-white and creams, they are softer and more suited to us.
Flo & Frankie Dawn Ivory Crochet Knit Jumper $139.90
The pros are it IS such a versatile colour. It gives a clean, elegant look, that keeps you cool in summer, and boy, do we need that at the moment! Add to that, that it’s renowned for being ageless and timeless.
Seed Ribbed Textured Shell Top $54.90Repertoire Bronte Top $330.00
Con’s: Spills & See-Through Woes
The cons are that yes spillers, I’m looking at you (again me!). You need to be careful of what you eat and drink, where you sit, what you brush against.
The last issue wearing white can have is you can often see underwear through white pieces of clothing, so make sure you pick up a nude or white set from Bras N Things.
Bras N Things Floriane Contour Plunge Bra – Ivory $64.99Bras N Things Inner Essence Contour Plunge Wirefree Bra – Nude 2 $49.99Bras N Things Base Layers Shaping One Piece – Nude $64.99
All in all, though, with so many beautiful pieces at the stores in Milford Shopping Centre, it’s up to you whether you embrace the full all-white trend, or add some items as a go-to neutral blended with other colours. Either way, you can’t go wrong with adding some wonderful white pieces to your wardrobe during this sizzling summer.

Trudi Bennett, expert stylist, shares how to shop with purpose, for a better outcome.
See Trudi Bennett’s expert advice on dressing to feel your best this New Year!
Moochi Ruff Shirt $279.99
Happy 2024!
A new year encourages us to think about doing things a little differently, so let’s talk about learning how to shop with purpose, for a better outcome. In my styling business, I hear people talk about how shopping is either a nightmare, a terrible chore, or a complete bore. So many people feel this way for many reasons. Common ones are size fluctuations, aging, lifestyle changes, or sometimes just feeling overwhelmed by the choices available.
Sizing
Let’s tackle body changes, as this is a really tough one. The first hurdle to this is acceptance. You are what you are now, and whether it’s bigger or smaller, the same but differently distributed, it’s time to accept it. But guess what? Your new shape has just as many advantages as the old shape, it’s just a case of getting used to it and adapting.
Marlow Jet Set Linen Shirt $179.00
Make a List
Moochi Balcony Skirt $329.99
For those of you who have never enjoyed shopping, you need to make it a more practical, easy experience. If you make a list for groceries then think about also making a list of clothes you need. Be organised, clear your wardrobe, and make that list. Do this for each season and you’ll feel like you’re in control, rather than panic buying.
For those of you that hate it, it’s time to face your fear! If you have struggled all your life to find clothes that suit you or that you feel confident in, let’s talk Colour, Shape, Fit. This is the professional mantra for shopping I teach my clients. If you haven’t had your colours done but know what you like and get complimented on, when you enter the shop, head to those colours. That can eliminate quite a bit of the shop. Next, think about necklines, lengths for your body proportion, and shapes that you feel good in. You can assess both these factors at the rack, rather than looking in despair at a mish-mash pile on the changing room floor that makes you feel like it’s YOU that’s the problem. The reality is it’s the colour, shape, or fit of the garment that’s not right.
Ella + Eli Essentials Dani Dress $219.00Seed Heritage Linen Tie Front Maxi Dress $219.90
Feel Good
Lastly, remember nobody is one ‘size’ anymore. I find a lot of people span across 2, often 3 sizes depending on the store. Once you’ve selected your pieces based on colours and styles, it’s crucial to take a couple of sizes into the changing room to get the best fit. Don’t worry about numbers, worry about a great fit that makes you feel confident.
If you concentrate on color, shape, and fit vs panic buying, ‘how it hides’ or whether it’s on sale, you’ll end up with a better result. You may take less into the changing room, but you’ll have way more chance of these pieces being right for you.

Expert advice on adding pizzazz to your outfits with this seasons trending pieces.
Accessories, whether it’s jewellery, scarves, handbags, shoes or sunglasses are an easy way of staying modern. They can definitely lift an outfit that feels a little underwhelming. Let’s go through a few reasons why and see if I can give you the courage to add some additional pizzazz to your style this season.
Repertoire Ava Hand Beaded Clutch $150.00
Layering
We’ve previously talked about what necklines suit particular body shapes. When you suit a lower neckline, some women feel like there is too much skin on show. A nice medium-sized pendant placed centre stage or multiple layers of fine necklaces – which is a super popular trend at the moment – solves this problem and looks fantastic.
Repertoire Steel Me Necklace $90.00Storm Bianca Necklace $99.00Seed Twisted Chain Necklace Set $39.99
Pops of Colour
This event and summer season, I’m a big fan of two ways of accessorising. Adding pops of colour to an outfit that is heavy on neutrals – grey, cream, white, navy, black or taupe – adds that extra zing. Think bright green shoes or a pink handbag. Or blue earrings, a coloured hat or maybe a multi-coloured silk scarf?
My other love is for metallics, which are huge this season. If you struggle with coordination when it comes to colours, think of metallics as just another piece of jewellery.

When thinking about what size accessories best suits you, you can aim to keep things in proportion with your own body and apply the principle of balance OR just wear what you love. Be driven by what feels right for you, as that way you’ll always enjoy and wear it. Don’t be afraid to branch out to try new styles.

HATS & SUNGLASSES
Not only will trying new accessories make your outfits feel modern and ‘finished’, by adding this little bit of detail means you’ll no doubt get more compliments. But as I’m also a practical stylist, let’s not forget the importance of some accessories. Super trendy hats with wide brims protect your skin, as are oversized sunglasses on your eyes.
So, this season, once you’ve decided what to wear, do give thought to where accessories can add the ‘icing on the cake’ to a great summer outfit. All the stores at Milford Shopping Centre have something for everyone and if not for yourself, remember accessories make excellent gifts for Christmas!
On that note, I wish you and your family a safe and happy festive season, and see you for more style tips in the new year.

Are you the person who secretly dreads summer invites like work parties, weddings and other events because of the worry of what to wear? You are not alone. Many people drag out the same dress they’ve worn to the previous three Xmas parties or last wedding, feeling tired from a busy year and tired of wearing the same outfit! So do yourself a favour this season and think about purchasing a lovely, confidence-boosting new outfit.
DRESSES
There are so many great options with event wear at Milford Shopping Centre at the moment. An obvious and easy choice is either a party dress, suit or jumpsuit. These outfits need no other co-ordination, other than great shoes and nice bag.
This season it’s all about colour (bold and beautiful), patterns (pretty and floral) and interesting textures (lace and velvet). Get that neckline right, make sure the outfit shows your shape and pick a colour that makes your eyes, skin and hair shine.

Identity Ashley Bloom Dress $329.00
Identity Marlton Dress $340.00
Skirt & Top
Option two is the skirt and top combo. It’s versatile too, as you can split it up and wear each piece with different options next year. Every body shape suits a gradual A-line skirt, which is fitted over your thighs and falls to be slightly fuller past this point. But this season, I can’t look past all the gorgeous, coloured satin bias cut skirts, which teamed with a top that balances the shape of the skirt, looks fab. This modern style is super flattering and add amazing shoes and killer accessories; and you can’t go too far wrong.
Moochi Equal Top $269.99Moochi Frame Bias Cut Skirt $299.99
Decjuba Thea Twist Printed Top $99.99 & Midi Skirt $114.90
Identity Fleur Blouse $299.00
Merchant 1948 Sparks Platform Heel $239.90
Evening Top & Trousers
Lastly, let’s not forget the dress trousers and evening top option. By evening top, I mean something that’s different from your day-to-day clothing. It needs to have nice fabric – think lace, velvet or sheer – and a flattering neckline. Those with a larger chest stick to lower necklines that show some skin from the top of the cleavage upwards. Smaller busted women may like to choose a halter neck, which is a really flattering style not normally worn day to day.
STYLE TIP: If you don’t want to expose your arms, a wrap cardigan, or dressy blazer over the top solves this problem. I especially like evening tops with some embellishment or sparkles on them!
It says I’m GOING OUT!
Repertoire Starlight Cami $289.90
Sportscraft Nili Wide Leg Jean $169.99
Identity Andie Jacket $399.99
Seasalt Cornwall Vanessa Cardigan $115.00
Accessories
Lastly, like the icing on a cake, the accessories are essential. It’s amazing how even the most non-descript outfit can be transformed by layering some fabulous necklaces, a chunky bracelet or statement earrings.

Stay tuned, as next month I’ll be writing about how to style accessories to give any outfit a lift...
Embrace the Occasion!
If you’re feeling happier about how you look this party season, it means you’ll enjoy yourself more. Don’t let the stress of feeling like you have nothing to wear bring you down. If you want to embrace the occasion and ditch the old outfit, take the time to find something you feel a million dollars in. It will make you sparkle with confidence during this very twinkly season.

Spring is in the air and Christmas will be upon us faster than you can say ‘ho ho ho’. A change of season is the perfect time to blow away the cobwebs from your wardrobe and think about making a fresh start. This doesn’t mean throwing everything out. It can simply mean evaluating what you have, recognising the gaps and planning what needs to be slotted in to create a fun, easy and stress-free wardrobe.
Wardrobe “Fillers”
Max The Knitted Vest $119.99
When you take good look at your wardrobe, you need to be prepared to get rid of what I call ‘the fillers’. These are items of clothing that hang around, never being worn, sometimes being tried on again and again, but always discarded and hung back up again. This is what makes you say, “I have all these clothes and NOTHING to wear”.
If you don’t fit a piece of clothing, dislike the way it looks on you, or feel ‘yuck’ and don’t know why, it needs to go. It’s common to not know why you don’t like wearing certain pieces of clothing.
It could be it’s the wrong shape for your body or the colour washes you out. Maybe it feels a little tight, or too short? Whatever the mental block is, that piece of clothing will stay in the wardrobe filling it out and make getting dressed confusing.
Stress-Free Sorting
I always suggest getting EVERYTHING out and on the bed. This forces you to spring clean your wardrobe properly and really assess what you have.
Now make three piles:
1. What definitely has to go.
2. Should bereplaced.
3. Things you love.
Once the fillers are gone, your wardrobe will be a lot clearer.
Sportscraft Sorrento Broderie Blouse $199.99
Next, think about what clothes you need for the different aspects of your lifestyle? Everyone seems to have very casual clothes or exercise gear, or dedicated work clothes. However, it’s surprising how many people – men and women – lack casual dressy clothes. Casual dressy clothes are worn after work, in the weekend, out to dinner, or seeing friends and family. They should be comfortable and stylish, making you feel confident and happy about how you look.

Make it simple – Make a list
Once you’ve cleared your wardrobe, it’s time to write a list of clothes you need to fill the gaps you’ve identified. You do this for your groceries, so why not for your clothes? A list makes it clear what you need and encourages shopping to be more of a practical exercise. This stops disheartened wandering round the shops and either leaving with nothing or panic buying.
Part of this process also involves accepting and embracing your size, shape, and age, right now. Think about colours and styles that suit you, and pieces that will mix and match well with your existing clothes.
