Today I’m covering the next three FABruary Style Challenge subjects Blue     Blues, like most colours can be warmer or cooler.  Because blue is naturally a cool colour (as it has a blue undertone), those who are cool will find they can wear a wider range of blues than people with warm colouring, who…

Playing with colour is so much fun. Today I’ve mixed together a combination I’ve never tried before. I had planned to put on a different outfit, either a jacket or coloured jeans, but it’s just too hot here for a longer sleeved layer so I had to layer a cami under my t-shirt instead. There…

Belt it – FABruary Style Challenge

Accessories, Colour, style tips, WardrobeBy Imogen LamportFebruary 5, 201311 Comments

I don’t belt often as I’m an H shape and have a short waist with large bust, so belting at the waist draws attention to my boxy shape and makes my breasts look larger.  But occasionally I do like the addition of a belt as it adds a detail to my outfit to make it more interesting.…

Denim is something that many of us wear a lot. For many our jeans are a go to item. I was considering whether or not I should include denim in the style challenge at all as it’s too many people’s fall back, so I thought that I’d twist it up and insist that it be…
