The Blah Season?

Autumn is a wonderful season to mix and match textures as well as combining colour and switch hues. I am of the belief that one becomes more colour conscious in the cooler months. Guess it has to deal with getting darker earlier,  shorter days, the masking of sunlight or all around blah! What ever the reason always best to dress chipper and have just a little peep in your step. The outfit colours and these booties did just that for me.




Purple is one of those colours that highly complements my skin tone. Given that I am really loving coloured bottoms and booties for the season. Why not combine two great loves in one outfit. With a few basics - white shirt and accessories. It is a outfit made in fashion heaven.

Glam Mel-Shim


Wearing metallics and shimmers in daylight hours can be one of those fashion statements that can go horribly wrong if not done in good taste. A burst of “glam stuff” can seem that you are getting in a few day light hours before you hit the club later on; or you have been to the disco and decided to keep the party going. Either, Or poor taste is like a vampire roaming the streets past sun rise. I have been very cautious of embracing this fashion fade. As you can tell I am more than a  sceptical not only the fashion statement. But also the event; the context for the glam exposure, so many factor to take into an account it is a wonder. Oh, well being the big girl that I am and through caution to the wind I embraced the glamorous metallic shimmer (Glam Mel-Shim) after noon but before sun set.

 


Having been invited to a swanky luncheon with evening entertainment; I opted for my metallic shimmer number (finally).  I got this statement top from ASOS ages ago; and never wore it. It is one of those pieces that I could have endless potential for a night out. A very versatile piece as the cut can be worn in the front or back. For this event I chose to be subtly bold by having the cut in the back. Thus creating a statement piece that was understated; I further subdued the daytime glam mel-shim with basic black shorts, Cinderella slip-ons and minimal accessories. Thus keeping the modestly elegant top as the centre fold of the look.
