The 4 Key Elements of Style
There are 4 key elements of style. I liken them to a puzzle.

When you put on a ‘smart’ outfit for a ‘smart’ occasion, how do you feel?Like a well-coordinated, sophisticated woman? Or like you have been bundled up into a constricting outfit that makes you feel like you’re pretending to be someone or something you are not?

We aren’t quite there yet but each day I notice something else on my daily walk that shows me that winter is almost over. I enjoy each season (although Autumn is my fave) and I LOVE change, so when the days become lighter and longer and the beautiful sunny daffodils appear, it brings me a definite spring in my step.
