FASHION RESTYLING// fashion

RESTYLE - A SIMPLE THING

I recently wrote a post about fashion and the environment , and I am sure a lot of readers wondered

its strange , a fashion blogger that is writing about environment. But it was more a information

and understanding where and how the fashions we wear are produced and the effects.

Then I thought of my mom and things she talked about or would wear. YES my mom loved clothes!

She was stylish but classic.
She wore matching purses and shoes, gloves and matching pantsuits, dress sets.

But she also was good at changing a dress or outfit by having it restyled.

Something like a long floral party dress, she had it shortened and wore it as a summer outfit. Or she took a crochet style dress with a shawl and had the shawl made into sleeves for the dress.

These are just a few of the REStyling things she would do.

So her idea to restyle an outfit had an influence on me. It is true our moms have a big influence on ones style, at least my mom did on mine. I do like matching suits, or pantsuits for the polished finished look. But more is how learned to restyle a piece of clothing. I would take a blazer and change small things -like remove the shoulder pads and change the buttons, A simple navy blazer would get gold buttons. A black velvet trimmed with some gold . A coat or jacket added a faux fur collar. A plain denim piece added leather trim. The ideas are endless.

A FEW RESTYLE INSPIRATIONS

LACEY IDEA ; A simple knit you can change the look with lace

CLASSIC BLACK a black top by adding pearl details & shirt

A simple alteration can change an outfit completely. If the item is a well made and a stylish piece

why not ? Restyling or altering a piece of clothes is also a way we can change our wardrobe.

I am sure many of you have taken a pair of jeans and made them into to shorts.

So basically you can try restyling other pieces in your wardrobe.

So have you restyled any items?
Share your look or idea .

A restyle challenge, I would love to read or hear

about your new look or ideas.

CASUAL SUMMER LOOK//fashion , styling

Doing Denim I sometimes like to wear something that is just more relaxed and comfortable. For some it might be a pair of shorts, but I like a dress. Whether long or short. I just them more comfortable and airy on hot summer days. Denim is one look I like . It’s a casual look that can be dressed up or down, just by changing the accessories you wear with it. Heels or sandal. Simple jewelry, watch or bracelets. There are so many ways to style a denim dress. A great tote to carry the necessary items, sandals and sunglasses I would add a nice colorful scarf for the hair or simply wear tied around the neck.

SPRING LOOK //Fashion , Style, Spring

Time for some color Finally the weather is warmer and can wear lighter clothes. I especially like to start the summer/spring with some color . One of my favorites is a colorful knit on I bought years ago , a Liz Clairborn design. It’s a piece that just say spring is here. After a long , cold winter of wearing mostly dark or muted shades it’s nice to bring out something bright a cheery.
