What is a Staple anyway...?


Simply the Basics,
The essentials which make up a well rounded wardrobe from season to season, the staples "barely" change.
A staple item should be able to alternate between many an outfit, occasion and season they are those old favourites which a large number of us hold onto year after year until it can't possibly be washed once more without falling to pieces.
The marvelous Mr Guy and I decided over an "I've had better" iced chocolate & burnt latte that rather than spending $20-$200 on that staple piece you've realised you been without since it faded, the seams split & it somehow managed to acquire coffee stains, Spending that bit extra on a staple piece which might just outlast you is a good idea.
Amon Avis La Mode.. the staple pieces of your wardrobe should include the following:
Tote
Trench & Light Jacket
Boots & Court Shoes
Sunglasses
Pant/Skirt Suit
The Little Black Dress
Jeans
Camisole & Fitted Blouse

Save your pay packet and when you can check off theses items.
Just remember, quality is a wiser move than quantity when regarding staples.

The Jumpsuit
Its a tricky one ladies but when worn the right way can look absolutely stunning.
As a "general" rule opt for a jumpsuit with a wide leg & clinched waist, often the skinny leg or genie style pants can give the illusion that the hips are quite large, However the wide leg draws our eyes up from the bottom of the pant to the waist making the waist look small.
Top your jumpsuit off with a chunky belt or long necklace this draws attention to the waist which creates a very feminine look.

The crisp white fabric contrasts beautifully with the draping around the neck and sleeves.
Gorgeous version of a classic piece.

Is too much Too Much?


I recently had a heated discussion with a fellow family member regarding ones amount of clothing.

Who's place is it to say that another has too much choice in their wardrobe.

Is this such a bad thing?

Is too much ever too much?

In my opinion.. Are you serious, No. No and never!

How can somebody expect to live life to the fullest if they only have a select amount of outfits to live it in!?

Could it be jealously that provoked this outburst of the proverbial "two cents"?

The accused thinks "i".

Its not a bad thing to have an array of clothing all lined up nicely and bulging out of your closet.

Are you a victim of fashion obsession?

Well if the stiletto fits, I say Wear it and wear it with pride!
