                  " Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak"- Rachel Zoe

That's exactly what I always have in mind when I have to dress each morning. I think fun and that is exactly what I had yesterday with what I wore. I wore cream on cream outfit. Cream oversize Mango top and  cream tight jean. To compliment my outfit I wore a cream and brown snake print Zoom heel.


  

Inspiration of the day

Date with friends? Here is an inspiration ensemble for today. A blazer with an A line shape skirt. To obtain a classy look, accesorized with a touch of gold. Sandal at Zara, Blazer at Topshop and bralette top at Superbalist, Gold chain at Cotton On.

MIDI skirt

This gorgeous skirt flaunts an early-’60s attitude, and the polished daytime look. They are beautiful in any color- especially in brighter colours. Every lady should make a room in their closet for one. They are great to wear in those days you want to have a classy-sexy-prima donna kinda look. The look that speaks volume with out saying much.  There’s a prim, clean-scrubbed vibe to these skirts. Never to be worn with a flat shoe no matter how tempting it is. You want to walk tall in your high heels when wearing one. Can be worn with a tighter fitting top. Some prefer to wear the skirt with a Tiptoe shoe or a sandal but I prefer a pencil heel shoe.  See below for celebrities in Midi skirt.

My thoughts on being a fashionista or stylista

Is there really a difference. Does n't a fashionista need a great sense of style and therefore making a fashionista a stylist. Many people has their own definition of fashion and style. To me fashion and style goes together, if you do not have a style then you are not a fashionista. How can one be a fashionista lacking a great sense of style? There is somewhat interdependence between the two and atleast we should acknowledge that.


"Fashion changes but style endures" ~ Coco Chanel

I used to think I'm not  fan of fashion, I considered my self as a stylist. For years I refused to buy clothes based on trends unless I thought it had a great opportunity of staying  on trend for atleast more than just one season. As I grew older I got to understand few things, as long as I bought fashion items at a cheaper price I was good  to go. I got to understand that versatility is important and you need to be in with the trends. My sentiment is spend less on fashion and more on items that are timeless. As Coco Chanel puts it "Fashion changes but style endures". There is truth in that statement. To make things work for you make sure you have classic items & make sure you take quality into consideration. You want to move in with time, which acceptable and recommended but at least invest in one or two timeless items. Those timeless items will showcase your style. Above of all I have said always make sure you are comfortable in clothes you wear after all clothes are inherently personal.
