Fashion Fridays
You’ve spent the last few weeks of 2010 cleaning out the old, dated and unworn items of your closest and now it’s time to start anew. 2011, the year when you stop buying those trendy, cheap and disposable items and start building a wardrobe that will stand the test of time.
Let’s assume that you never intended on having a wardrobe filled with impractical pieces, but it happens all too easy- with sales, trends, deals and badly made clothing.
Each month this year I will be discuss one of the wardrobe essentials –the 10 items that every women needs to have a perfect wardrobe. The 11 edition will focus on essential accessories and the 12 piece will be a surprise!
Edition #1: The Blazer
One of the most versatile items you can have in your wardrobe. Great for the office, a night on the town and for a casual day look with jeans. How to pick the perfect one?
Look for
· A shoulder seam that hits right where your shoulder begins to curve
· Fitted sleeves
· Unique details that fit your personal style
· One or two buttons (most flattering)
· Hip-length
· Good construction and lining
Now there are exceptions to some of these rules, but fit is essential! A don’t forget about your tailor –to shorten long sleeves or nip in the waist.
