Shake Your Tail Feather
How to Wear this Season’s Hottest Trend
Let’s face it, like most people, the majority of my dressier clothes consist of the colour black – or if I’m getting really adventurous, grey and navy! So, in an effort to keep things interesting, I do like to mix textures.
While I have my share of sequins and leather, I decided to shake things up a bit and try something different – feathers!!!
This is a great, simplistic way of incorporating feathers into your wardrobe (a huge trend this season!). While the material is a little dressier, it is essentially a simple t-shirt style trimmed with long feathers. The feathers pick up all of your movements and will definitely turn heads!
I love paring it with simple cigarette-style black pants – this way the top really gets to shine and steal the show! I have also paired it with a pair of skinny destroyed denim – just for the contrast. Add a pair of killer heels and simplistic jewellery, and you’re ready to go!
…if only Mister Man can get dressed as quickly.
Oversized Blazer Season
I love the look of oversized blazers as a seasonal coat that I can wear over a t-shirt for that classic look, but still be able to pair it with my chunky knit sweaters for when the weather really dips down.
Well, it's officially blazer season, and in true autumn fashion, I am living in my blazers.
Lately, I have been obsessed with oversized blazers, so much that I "borrowed" this one from the Mister. I also purchased this double breasted blazer from Zara recently and I swear I'm living in it!
I went 1 size up because I love the look of blazers as a seasonal coat that I can wear over a t-shirt for that classic look, but still be able to pair it with my chunky knit sweaters for when the weather really dips down.
STYLE TIP: if an oversized blazer looks too big, just add a fun belt to cinch your waist!
Looking Chic After Gaining a Few Extra Pounds
Because of the shape and structure of the double breasted blazer dress, you can easily hide those extra pounds (or really big meals!!)
Lets face it, we've all managed to put a few extra pounds since COVID struck. Those dreaded COVID-5, COVID-10, COVID-15 (or more) are real!!
For those of us who are lucky enough to be working from home, we are not getting the regular amount of exercise we usually would - even if it is just walking from the parking lot to your building.
But now the restrictions are lifting. we can go out and meet our friends at a restaurant. And while you may not be able to drop those extra pounds in time, you can definitely hide it - while still looking chic!
My go to is a double breasted blazer dress.
