Casual is the watchword.
Steps:
1. Consider your activities for the day.
If you'll be hiking, leave those platform
sneakers in the closet.
2. Choose a watch that's really you:
plastic or wide band, sporty or tank.
3. Drape a bandanna or a vintage, silk or
hand-knit scarf around your neck - or tie your
hair with it - and you'll look pulled together.
4. Change your look with a belt. Choose
from a fabulous variety: wide, thin, decorative,
etc.
5. Keep your shoes on! They can be
trendy, classic, down-home or chunky. For chic
yet casual outfits, opt for sneakers, sandals,
cowboy boots or loafers.
6. Have fun with jewellery, and remember
that pearls go with everything. Hoop earrings,
ethnic beads, stones and wires are everywhere,
as are nose rings, chokers and hair clips.
Consider making your own.
7. Use a backpack for fun, comfort and
usefulness. Keep in mind that a straw bag or a
book bag can also be a stylish alternative to a
purse.
8. Put a water bottle and your sunglasses
in a canvas bucket bag. If you're just carrying
around your keys and lipstick, try a tiny knit
purse.
Tips:
Have fun, but maintain a sense of balance. Too
many bangles can bungle a sundress and ruin a
sleek sandal look. Remember hats. Straw hats and
watch caps, bucket and porkpie hats, and caps
and berets are fun and casual. They lend you a
confident air.
Warnings:
Make sure your footgear matches your day's
blueprints. Nothing gets you down more than
aching feet. |
