Wardrobeflair: Layer upon layer upon Layer

Layer upon layer upon Layer

Remember how we laughed about that silly Sara Lee cheesecake ad where the Swedish woman kept saying Layer upon Layer!

How right she was!! I really enjoyed my little foray into TV land and my wee stint on Good Morning TV on Monday 14th March. It was nerve racking but lots of fun.

I talked to Sarah Bradley and the good people of NZ who were watching about how great layering your clothing is. I am a firm advocate as my clients will attest! I believe it’s a versatile, modern and funky way of dressing which also happens to be hugely practical.

On the show I wore a tunic dress that was way too short for my years! So I took inspiration from the fabulous Sarah Nichol and teamed another longer tunic slip dress underneath and Voila, it worked a treat.

So layer upon layer of dresses. I also highlighted how great it is to choose to either layer OVER your clothing (dress, summer top etc) or to go UNDER. Both look great and can be adjusted to the season.

If you are say a menopausal woman, then going with an over layer allows you to quickly and easily get it off when you experience a hot flush. If you are a cold fish like me during winter time then I always layer my merino underneath to keep that extra warmth near my core.

Summer dresses can become all year rounders. Arms are never shown and we KNOW how many of you hate your arms!!

FAQ

I am really keen to see a consultant. What are the key things you should look at when choosing a stylist?

Referrals are key. Talk to people and see who has seen a consultant and how they found their service. Look for a service that covers colours and shapes. Some consultants only focus on certain areas and if you are not getting the full package, you will not benefit as much from your experience.

For instance, having your shape assessed is as vital as having your colours done. There is no point in wearing great coloured clothing, if it doesn't suit your shape!

Q: I want to break out of wearing black but I just don't know what colours suit me?

Yes, it is very hard to break the black habit if you are unsure as to what is a good alternative. So don't feel alone in this!

The best thing you can do is either hire someone from www.wardrobeflair.com and they can come and do your colours and assess your shape and talk you through what you need and also take you personal shopping to show you the colours and shapes that best suit you.

If you want to try and go it alone, think of the times you have had compliments with certain colours you wear and try and build this up.
