Sept 2012 - Stylist Picks

Summer seems to be fading away and it’s time to say hello to Autumn. Ready to revamp your wardrobe for this season? We have picked Autumn essential for this month and it includes strong silhouettes, mixed of bold and soft colours for more elegant relaxed look, maxi, flare & A-line dresses.

We can't wait to wear warm and spicy colours that autumn brings along and getting cosy is what we need. Whether you’re shipping off to college or simply looking for a work wardrobe update, these basics will get you in the fall shopping spirit:

1. Stock up for key trend or pieces – this can be like cardi, coat, jacket and knit wear

2. Renew your staples – do it moderately!

3. Find the right footwear – we love ankle boots pair with pleated maxi skirt

Ok, what exactly ‘wardrobe essential’ means? In our perspective, wardrobe essential should be trend proof (you can wear them on all occasions without sacrificing style), flexible and style savers (you can use them to tone down a dressy outfit).

Think of your wardrobe staples as blank canvas which you can build your outfits on. Your wardrobe essential should be able to contribute flexibility and blend in with your own style (remember less frustration when you put your outfit together).

By saying this, you can use your wardrobe essential to tone down too trendy or flashy outfit! Like say, if you are wearing a ruffled striped shirt and would like to make it less frilly, just add a plain cardigan or V-neck sweater. You can never go wrong with plain staple pieces. They are classics that never get outdated and go with absolutely everything.

We hope you like our picks this month, email us at diva@diva-darling.com if you like them and get a quote, we will help to deliver them to you.

Hugs xoxo
