New styling video. How to wear the textile flower pins. Dos and don'ts included ;)

A few weeks ago I have received a DM from a lovely lady who asked some feedback on her outfit. She was wearing a nice textile flower neckpiece, and I decided to elaborate of this fun, but somehow very risky accessory. How to style floral brooches and pins? It’s so so easy to overdo it. Most of women do. Contrary to many beliefs, you should not pair the pin with lookalike aesthetic elements like polka dots, ruffles, floral prints. Instead, think of juxtaposition and contrast. Pair these romantic flowers with masculine elements and clean cuts. These are just visual elements with what I had in my wardrobe and works on my silhouette. You can do your own interpretation with lookalike pieces. What’s an oversized white button up for me could easily translate into a straight or fitted poplin button up. Baggy or loose cut jeans could be anything from Mom cut, stove pipe, to straight cut wide, and boyfriend. Which one is your favourite look? 1,2,3,4,5?💃

New reel is out 💃

Are you short waisted like me? Here are some easy hacks I learned as a personal stylist. 💃 1️⃣ The waistband will likely hit you way lower when your natural waist creating a disproportionate, unflattering silhouette. Here is what you can do about it. Get a thicker waist belt and strategically place it one, two inches above the waistband. It will hide the original waistband and create the optical illusion of a higher waist. 2️⃣ If you are short-waisted, most dresses plunge too low under your armpits. Opt for designs with adjustable spaghetti straps rather than basic ones. Alternatively, layer a blazer, a sweater, or a leather jacket if you don’t have adjustable straps. 3️⃣ Belt or tie loops are frustrating because they hit way lower than your natural waist. Cut them off. Yes, cut them off to control how low or high your tie hits you. 4️⃣ Opt for dresses with an empirical silhouette. An empirical waist hits right under your breast, matching your natural high waist.

Timeless is one of my core values as a personal stylist. When I dress my clients, I focus on pieces that will serve them well 5-10 years from now. This is one key question you should ask yourself when buying a new piece. Will it still be relevant and easy to wear in 5 years? Will it last? Will it still serve my lifestyle? Will it still fit in my wardrobe and reflect my personal style well? Will it still be age-appropriate? What is the oldest item you have in your wardrobe that you can still proudly wear?
