The Right Fit is Always in Style
These days it’s hard to keep up with the latest trends, and unless you have the budget of a celebrity, I would stick with the sensible side of trendy which is current and put together. This is a look that suits everybody and can be achieved with minimal effort and a moderate budget. One of the key element’s to achieving a look that is current and put together is fit. No Matter what your size or shape, the right fit will make the most of your figure.
Here’s a few tips to ensure your clothes fit in all the right places:
• “Too tight is never right” it shows too much and draws attention to areas that are least appealing
• Big and baggy doesn’t hide anything, it just makes you look big and baggy. Wear clothes that fit close to your body but still give you room to move freely
• Hemlines should end at the narrowest part of the body, for a more slimming look, lengthen or shorten sleeves, shorts and skirts below or above the widest part of the arm or leg.
• To elongate the leg, full length pants should cover at least half of your shoe or heel
•
• If you have trouble finding pants that fit, always choose the size that fits your widest part then have the waist or hips taken in
• To create a more shapely waistline look for jackets that are tailored and fitted at the waist, pay attention to stitching, details and length to be sure they emphasize your best parts
• “You can’t look good in your outerwear if don’t have good underwear” – get fitted for a bra every 3-5 years, your “girls” should be sitting between your underarm and your elbow

Style Tips
Lighten Up!
If you are still wearing your winter coats, wool pants, fur boots and chunky sweaters...it's time to lighten up!
Although the temperature is only slightly warmer than it was in February, we are now well into spring and we need to embrace the season by wearing brighter colours and lighter fabrics.
The key to not freezing your behind off while still loking fashionable in this unpredictable weather is; layers. Here's a few key layering pieces that will get you through until the real warm weather "S" season that we wait for the other nine months of the year arrives...
Jackets & Cardigans - lightweight jackets, like linen blazers, jean jackets, anoraks, trench coats and suit jackets. Cardigans that are lighter weight than the ones you wore instead of coats in winter, light wool silk blends, cotton and breathable fabrics - look for them in bright colours to liven up your complexion and bring your look into season.
