Statement bags are great because they can really add that “oomph” to a look that is plain or lacking color as well as add an unexpected and fun element to whatever you are rockin’.
The great news is your bag does NOT have to match your outfit so you can cross off all the “do not mix colors and print” rules and LIVE!
2. Accessories
Yes, we can have the same style and grace (pun intended) as the incomparable Grace Kelley. Princess Grace literally has on a shawl. YET her eye-wear, scarf, and bracelet give her a perfectly polished look. This is the epitome of Effortless Style.
3. Personal Grooming
I love this slide! You'd think I wouldn't have to share this, but I do (she sighs).
Quick tips from the Etiquette Coach: Looking good is feeling good • Dress up properly for the occasion • A neat and tidy appearance is mandatory • Ensure that the clothes you wear fit you well • Do not wear too revealing clothes • Clothes must be ironed well and shoes polished • Avoid wearing too many ornaments or heavy makeup -Women • Hair and nails must be trimmed properly – Men • Use subtle deodorants/antiperspirants • Maintain oral hygiene • Wear clean socks – avoid body odor • Walk with confidence • These few tips and/or changes will have you walking with your head held high, looking good, and smelling good. Nuff said (drops the mic).
4. Undergarments
From a camisoles to strapless bras to shapewear, undergarments are the foundation of your look. For the sake of not boring you, please just take a quick gander at the list compiled in the image above. These few items are a MUST in the "foundation" department. Undergarments give you a smooth, polished, and solid look. Your posture will even change! I promise you.
Oh! If you're in need of a forreal shaper (NOT SPANX) that holds ALL the goodies, and gives an hourglass silhouette WITHOUT rolling down, send me a private email to: styledbydeanna@gmail.com I love these shapers!
5. Go Thrifting!
You'd be surprised how many amazing finds I've stumbled upon at the local Goodwill and Salvation Army. I've literally found a Coach Hobo bag (still tagged), Michael Kors shoes (still in box), and a beautiful Swarovski cocktail ring, Under $50 FOR ALL 3!! Yes, its true! Don't frown your nose at the screen, trust me. Take a little trip to Beverly Hills or Palos Verdes and I guarantee you'll hit the jackpot in these thrift stores.
Pssst! I have a little secret. There's this crazy amazing app I found that literally has thousands of high-end designer clothing for less than 80% off the retail price. Now I cant just go telling errrbody, so shoot me an email and I'll invite to this exclusive club. Yes, its invite only, honey!
Til next time, lovelies!!
