The Classy Wardrobe Challenge

A Style Challenge was set up The Classy Wardrobe which involved in creating three looks with a chosen dress from their website. After browsing around I chose a Rosie Dress by Vivel which costs £109.00. This is a grey pencil dress with a belt detail at the waist creating a more feminine silhouette. The  sleeveless dress is finished with a V-Neck . Here’s how I chose to style the dress…..

Out to Breakfast: I paired the dress with a simple short black cardigan which can help to create an illusion of a pencil skirt to which I added some ballet flats. Then to accessorize the outfit I chose some pearl jewellery pieces which are elegant and I also added a large black tote. It’s important to keep things minimal for this look and not to over accessorize.

In the Boardroom: For this look I paired the dress with a short blazer and some black courts. To accessorize this outfit I chose to pair it with a classy watch and a ring once again the jewellery was kept to a minimal. I also added a large satchel with is appropriate to carry work etc..in. In the boardroom you would want to dress classy and professional yet stylish.

After work Drinks: For this look I paired the dress with a quilted leather black jacket with some shiny high courts. Then I chose a pair of chandelier earrings and a statement ring to accessorize the outfit, which is needed to make the look more glamours and chic. The final touch is the small clutch with is appropriate for going out. With this look you can pull off wearing more over the top jewellery pieces.

 

The Geek/Chic Rucksack from Chanel

I know it’s back to school season so rucksacks are going to be essential… right. I guess it’s the same on the runway. Chanel has cleverly incorporated this idea into a rucksack,which is so cute. As you can see they have many editions to the ultimate Geek/Chic Rucksack. I’m sure that you’ll agree that they’re adorable. I like that fact that the famous quilted design has been incorporated into the rucksacks whilst they still remain different from each other. There is also a tweed version available in plum and black which is petite yet fashionable. So if you deciding to go back to College or University bear in mind the Chanel Rucksack. These bags are small yet versatile and I think you’ll love them. Have you seen any other versions of the Chanel Rucksack or Backpack (known by some)?

Pantone Colours for AW12

Now it’s time of the year where we’re all excited to see the new trends, designs and not to mention the colour palette for Autumn/Winter. Pantone has made this job very easy for us by compiling the colour hues that would be very popular this season. As you can see this winter this we’ll be dressed in very sophisticated yet feminine hues. I would say that the dominant colours are the pink and blue shades.These are perfect colours for your favourite garments whether its coat, skirt, blouse or a dress. The colours complement and work well together…so it’s a good batch. I would have to say that Rhapsody or Rose Smoke would be two of my favourite colours as I like the pink undertones, and it works well for clothes. I feel that these two colours can easily work well together and with the colours from the palette. So its much easier to mix and match. Now you have an idea what the main colour palette is and hopefully, you'll be adding these colours into your wardrobe very soon.

Website Review: The Classy Wardrobe

Majority of us will attend an interview in our lifetimes, hopefully many of us will go on many interviews. Normally at an interview you want to wear something that is classy, sophisticated yet fashionable yet sometimes it hard to find the right outfit ….. maybe because you live in a small town or your high street retailer isn't selling what you’re looking for. Then this is the right time to order an outfit on-line. If you’re in an interview or meeting a client you want to look your best, as most of us do.  The Classy Wardrobe is a site that is dedicated and caters to business clothing specifically for women running their own businesses or if you're attending an interview/meeting. The Classy Wardrobe have made sure that the options that they have created are for a niche and it also won’t break the bank. Its great to see a whole website dedicated to women's business clothing. You should  invest in separates like a pencil skirt, trousers or a shirt then you can choose to mix and match whist still remaining stylish. What do you think of the A/W12 Collection above?

Personally, I like the colour palette that is available currently on the website. This is full of feminine colours, like plum, purple and maroon. I also like the tailoring of the clothes which is kept simplistic and clean yet the garment is stylish. Before you place an order you can check the size guide to make sure that it that the garment you have ordered is the right size for you. For the size guide, click here.
