Hello,
I absolutely love this new post which is the first of 2022 where once again I’m asking you to take arms against monotony and cloning and live by your own light. This is all about being brave and bold in 2022. It’s about being interesting, vibrant, dynamic…and above all, unique.
These nine creations I hope will guide you on how you want to be seen and what messages you want to convey. You will find a mixture of classic and elegant, monochromatic, flamboyant, bohemian. You are all of these things if you wish to be.
Whether in the boardroom, pitching to a new client, a job interview or heading out for dinner or to a special event, it’s time to put preconceived notions on how you ‘think’ you have to dress behind you.
Everyone tries hard to be original yet harder still to fit in. Please don’t. Please don’t try to please everyone. I often hear women saying ‘oh no I can’t do that’, ‘I can’t wear that’, ‘I won’t’, ‘I can’t’. They have made up their mind before even trying, experimenting, experiencing something different.Â
I’m asking you to be open. Experiment. Try out new ideas. I stand firm in my bold mission to enable you to fearlessly embrace your uniqueness through your clothes.
These curations are created to inspire you to shake up your work style and your party style.
Enjoy
Trousers/Shorts:
Here the message is loud and clear as you walk into that meeting- you are not Ms Average. You draw attention to your strengths and sassiness. It’s daring to add another layer with this stunning, tie-detail blouse with a stiff frill neckline that protrudes out from under the luxe tuxedo jacket – buttoned or unbuttoned. But it’s the pink lips at the centre of it all that add that final finesse. Plus a dash of pink with the pretty bow sandals and finally some petite pearl earrings.

Red is powerful and full of energy. And when combined with orange, it’s a double surprise. The ensemble of long length relaxed trousers and a glorious bow blouse allows you to feel in charge and relaxed at the same time. It’s all about the draping. Blend a divine statement necklace with the big tie at the neck and add some print with the delicious marbled bag.

Neutrals are anything but humble with this show-stopping cape dress, cinched at the wait with a double layer of cream slim belts. The cape elegantly draped across the shoulders is sublime.
