The brighter the better..... looking on the bright side of my wardrobe, I was faced with the challenge of wearing print that is not only bright, but rather bold and loud. The print is inspired by a tropical garden, allowing it to be worn with a multitude of rainbow colours. I chose to wear a dress that toned the look down, balancing it with shoes that picks up and reflects on all the colours of the print. This coat is a marvellous item to dress up jeans, and to spruce up a simple pair of cigarette cut pants, perhaps with heels a few inches higher....... after all, the sky is the limit. The twist in the dress works it's magic in slimming down the waist, and the rouged effect leads the eye to the middle. This is a great style if you want to elongate the appearance of the body, and distract from the midriff, particularly after a month of many celebrations.....

ReplyDeleteAmazing piece, Nicolene!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to see you wearing it with white (or cream depending on that light base colour of your coat) slim trousers. I think it will stand out even more.

This coat is TERRIFIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the whole look!!!!!
Kisses my dear fashion friend!!!
Have a lovely day!!!!
You are making me dream of spring coming early to a late winter! (The bird print made me trot out to the feeder to replenish !) You look lovely, and I like the neutrals with it so much. Very sleek and the contrasts compliment. Killer shoes, of course. Really, you look beautiful and it's a very flattering shape for your late summer. There's much I'll miss about winter ( dark neutrals, boots, rich fabrics, heavy knits) I'm looking forward to my more problematic dressing season with some enthusiasm!
ReplyDeleteOMG I love your shoes!!!!! The jacket is fantastic and you look very elegant and stylish.
