STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Sweetheart with a Twist

We all want that one outfit to run to when we’re out of ideas. Whether it’s a flattering LBD or your favorite pair of boyfriend jeans, there’s something satisfying with being able to throw on that outfit that you know will be a sure thing. Typically, this outfit includes a one or two-piece, usually in neutral colors. Another checkmark is also the accessories. We’re talking a stunning set of sunglasses and a to-die pair of heels.

This Fashionista’s outfit hits all the good spots. Like any good story, an outfit needs a beginning, middle and end. The beginning of this outfit would be this gorgeous ocean blue sweetheart bustier. What’s foolproof about this kind of cut is the scooped out neckline. Anyone can look like a supermodel in such a complementary cut. The middle of this outfit are these crisp white pants. Again, we’re hitting on all the neutral palettes today. You can never go wrong with white. Ever. The end of this Fashionista’s outfit would be this banging set of heels, which could carry a conversation on its own. Have fun with the shoes you wear. Especially when wearing a neutral colored outfit, take the opportunity to pick up a textured heel. This Fashionista votes for anything feathered, floral or polished.

Just because we’ve completed our little outfit story, don’t think we’ve forgotten about the accessories. This beautiful bucket bag is big enough to throw your life into it, and way more stylish than a backpack. And, of course, we couldn’t forget this Fashionista’s unique pair of alien-inspired sunglasses. Just like the shoes, don’t be intimidated to show off a rockin’ pair of original sunnies. Not only can sunglasses completely change the look of your outfit, but they also have the ability to change your face! We think the more original the sunglasses are, the better.

Next time you’re running late for a coffee date, don’t waste time hemming and hawing over outfits that are blah and boring. Have a neutral coloured outfit ready for wear, and never forget the accessories that end up stealing the show.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “Accessories are just as important as the clothes on your back. Never overlook the power of a classic heel and sunglasses that reinvent your whole look.”
