HOW TO STYLE : Cardigans /fashion

CARDIGANS  so VERSATILE 


The cardigan is one piece of clothing that really is the most versatile item for anyones wardrobe.
Handy to throw on when it gets chilly, wear it over dress, slack or jeans,joggers or track pants. They never really ever go out of fashion, it is more or less a staple in the wardrobe.
Dress it up or down -  you can't go wrong with having one  or two in your closet.

I have a  assortment of longer sweatercoat styles in black, grey , navy and brown that I more or less added to over the years. It is one piece that sticks around. In wool for warmth, cotton knits in summer, or a cashmere version well the best. its always nice to have a choose to pick from and wear.

Styling it with  different belts  or scarfs  long or short or a fur (faux collar) to give a look of glam. And of course super chic with those over knee boots or newest sock boots.

 My love for the longer cardigan is the fact they are  so versatile . Great to wear on a chilly morning, when running out on errands . Light and easy to carry too -  especially when travelling..( airplanes.trains autos) and simple to pack.

So here are a few smart looking and stylish cardigans  to wear now or later,




CLASSIC LOOK , for work or casual. sporty look or with leather slacks-









A BIT OF COLOUR nothing like some colour in the dreary winter months.





PEARLY DETAILS   a more dressy version but would look great over a slip dress, sheer dress or for the holiday office party,  silk pants and top. 







TOASTY WARM IN THIS HOODED LINED VERSION.

CAMOUFLAGE STYLES// Fashion, designer

 SOMETHING DIFFERENT  I have to say I love color and prints, and when I saw the work of this Kenyan photographer Thandiwe Murui ,  I was in AWE.   Such vibrant prints that make a statement . The  prints or the checkerboard are definitely eye- catching. ( I happen to have a checkerboard top  that I wear as a coverup)  This might not be for everyones taste, but sometimes it is fun to be a bit wilder! THE SWIRLS  love this print and the colour combination . Vibrant and fun! A MOD- FLORAL this print that looks like a Sunflower is perfect for  summer. JUST BLENDING IN CHECKERBOARD ANYONE? find out more about her work   here   Thandiwe via BBC images via Thandiwe Murui

INSTAGRAM REAL STARS?

WONDER IF SHE IS REAL? How many people follow their favourite instagram and feel perhaps this is what a real person looks like and maybe lives like. I am not talking celebrities like Rihanna or Kardashians  or any of the other major celebrities . I am not a big follower of instagram, but for those that are there are a few surprises  such as one very popular Instagram Star is actually a virtual reality image, not a REAL person. These computer generated images look so real that people are actually thinking it is  a real person. Something strange about that , if someone is able to fool people in such a way  Firstly it is not stated this is not a real person    This to me is funny. with all the talk about fake news  etc. So why is it allowed to have computer generated images allowed to be part of?  Okay  maybe its like following a cartoon hero, i.e. SUPERMAN or WONDERWOMAN - but this we know are only characters not REAL PEOPLE. These so called stars  gorgeous , flawless and h
