I’m not a crazy fan of see through. It probably has something to do with my dislike of exposed bras, however I do find see through done sultry rather than sexy appealing.

Finely knit sweaters are a great way to expose yourself (with a layer beneath) without going for a chiffon or lace blouse. I like to layer them in a more interest way than a typical tank top, think of a classic bodycon or fitted dress.

Since I was 13, I’ve been dying my hair. It’s become a way for me to change my look, without cutting off my hair, which I’ve done,and regretted the 5 year grow out.  I’ve been many colours, bleach blonde, ombre, dark brown, streaked, and recently I dipped-dyed my own ombre tips cotton candy pink. But of all the colours I’ve ever been, red has been my favourite and my biggest challenge. For those interested in going red, it is truly an investment, and requires a lot of maintenance. I went to see my girl Natalie at Image Makeover, who herself is an amazing red head, to get this red pepper look, and am totally in love.

So we all always can’t be shopping. So an awesome tip to buying classic pieces that will work season after season is colour. It’s super easy to find what you like and what looks good on you, human nature says we will surround ourselves with colours and patterns that compliments our personalities and appearance.  I know I love red, but I look around my house and closet I see my favourite accent pieces in red, but also I have many strong shades of blue and numerous hues of browns and taupes. Like decorating (because style is style regardless of where it is) it’s best to work in colours of three, I like two brights and one neutral.  When shopping and having the options of colour, pick the one that fits you and your closet most rather than trending one (ex: neon).

So when it comes to shopping and keeping the bills at a minimum, purchase classic colours you can wear year after year, your wallet and financial planners will thank you.
