Another element of my style is that I am rather fond of asymmetry in garments. I love the diagonal line – it creates movement and action and for me a little quirky interest too. Balance and symmetry are great (and people who have a preference for Classic clothing tend to avoid asymmetry), but it’s something…

Style and fashion are usually so intertwined that many use the terms interchangeably, but if you strip them back you’ll discover they are actually very different from each other. One is your home. The other is a tool – such as a hammer. You need tools to build your home, but they are not…
Understanding what suits you – the colours, contrasts, clothing styles and lines, where to add the details, where to keep free and plain, which proportions are best for you and all those other physical aspects of fabric selection (texture, sheen, drape) are important and form your style foundation. You need to know them to start…
Style Recipe Ingredients Style recipes help to shape your style. They give you a framework and the ingredients you need when shopping for clothes or putting together outfits. I think they are an essential element of becoming truly stylish in an authentic way. I’ve written about them many times and why you must have one…
The other day chatting with my gorgeous 14-year-old daughter on the way back from her gymnastics practise she was talking about how her gym buddy, who she’s teamed up with to do a pairs competition in a few weeks, was stressing out about not being good enough, not being perfect, that she might fall off…
One of the things I notice here with the comments I receive both here and on Facebook, is that sometimes we can get bogged down in the minutia of style guidelines (remember they are just guidelines, not rules). I think so many women have a perfectionist streak that we want to be ‘pefect’ at putting…
Jill Chivers of 16 Style Types and I have been asked about how often should you be re-evaluating and updating your style recipe and your colour palette? So we sat down and had a chat about these topics in this video. Reassessing Your Style Recipe The options are up to you – but here are…
If you’ve been reading Inside Out Style for some time, you’d be aware that I believe that personality is the most important part of your personal style. This is because your clothes are your second skin. They shield you (or expose you) from the gaze of others. They communicate without you saying a word. They…

Reader Question The challenge is reinventing my style without completely replacing my wardrobe for a distinctly new phase in my life.

Every job I’ve had over my life has had its own dress code and “uniform”. Back in the late 1980s and 1990s, there were suits and suit separates in my early career in small and large offices. Then things became a little more ‘business casual’ as office cultures changed later in the 1990s and into the…
My question is this: I’ll be turning 50 in a few months and still haven’t discovered my personal style – from hairstyle, clothing style, colors, fabrics.. the whole thing. When I was young, we didn’t have finances except for hand-me-downs and thrift stores. I didn’t learn “style” when I most girls did. But at my…

I’m not sure if this is the place to ask, but I have a question. My style is and has always classic, (think Jackie or Audrey-esque) but I’m struggling with feeling like it’s boring. I am longing for a very stylish vibe while maintaining a classy and timeless style overall. I am a pastors wife…
What’s the value of a style recipe? Let me share … Every morning my husband and I walk around our local park with the dogs. We pass many of the same people on our jaunt each day and over time I’ve started “naming” these people using something that identifies them, so much so that I…
