Fabulous Tip of the Day: The New Way To Style A Polo Shirt

Today's Fab Tip:

Here's an update on a classic preppy staple, the polo shirt.

"How do you make a sporty staple look new? Dress it up in a way that's more pretty than preppy. A streamlined skirt, like a wrap or pencil style, strikes a sophisticated note and tempers the tennis connotations. Add polished pumps and easily go from desk to drinks. If girlie isn't your thing, highlight the top's boyish charm with your favorite pair of broken-in skinny jeans. Now, that's how to up your style game."
-- Taken from In Style magazine, June 2015, page 89.

If you go with the skirt pairing, wear classic pumps, but if you utilize the skinny jeans suggestion, like I have, go with ballet flats or ankle boots. Finish off the look with a pair of oversize sunglasses, a low ponytail, and lip gloss.

Fabulous Tip of the Day: Mix and Match Brights and Neutrals

Today's Fab Tip:

Don't be afraid of bold makeup with a toned down outfit. It's a great contrast.

"Do pair strong colour with neutrals. Neons and highlights of pink brought together with nudes is very signature for me. Make-up is the ultimate accessory -- you can wear jeans and a T-shirt with a bright lip and it makes the look."
--Christopher Kane in Glamour UK magazine, May 2015, page 157.

So statement lips and neutral clothes or neutral makeup with very bold clothes: it's a great way to look pulled together and effortless.
