As this is my last blog post of 2017 I’m going all out with the sparkle. Your clothing style will determine how much, (if any) sparkle you will feel good in. If your best style is:
- Classic. Limited sparkle. This may be a step too far for your simple and elegant style. Stick to sparkly jewellery.
- Full-on sparkle. Your quirky style means you can take the sparkle from head to toe.
- Gentle and pretty sparkle. You definitely suit a fair amount of sparkle but keep it dainty.
- Natural. Sparkle-free zone. Step aside and admire the sparkles from afar.
N.B. If your best style is natural but you also suit some, (even a little bit) of the girly or dramatic style you will feel good in a touch of sparkle. So do read on!
