Baroque Fashion

I used to have a different blog but have now changed to word press as my host . I had written  this post for my other blog , but  still want to transfer it to this one. It was for the beginning of Autumn but  applies to now  as Winter reveals its unfriendly head , forcing us to pack away our autumn clothes dishearteningly . Winter can prove to be a most fruitful season after all – with staple coats and striking boots. I hope you enjoy!

For this Autumn and Winter , I am loving baroque inspired  fashion. It adds a touch of  drama to your look. The colours are lavish and luxurious fabrics are used such as velvet and silk. Lace, intertwined with exquisitely crafted patterns and designs are sewn onto the garment. Baroque fashion takes one on a journey through a whimsical narrative where beautiful flowers are floating on shimmering ribbon and majestic horses gallop into an opulent future. Create your own tale with baroque fashion.

Colour?

Colour or neutral? Do you flourish when wearing a tangerine chiffon shirt, magenta bottoms topped with an emerald green head scarf. Or … are you someone who shies away from the brighter hues and as much as you try to buy that lemon coloured blazer that looks ever so edgy when paired with dark wash boyfriend denims and a fun beanie and instead you buy a grey jersey, soon to be number 5 in your wardrobe. I am option two. I always tell my mom, “Today I am going to buy something bright, something vibrant, yet I still come back with another neutral purchase adding to my wardrobe of blacks, blues, whites and greys. I ask myself, “Why can’t I just take a giant leap forward and buy that hot pink shirt or violet dress?” As neutral lovers, we often make excuses for our “safe style” and feel guilty that we don’t take enough fashion risks. Well…. We should stop dodging those insecurities and wear our black knits with confidence and prance around in our basic white dress .Sometimes dressing simply can be the most eye catching. If you do want to add some zest to your look, start by playing around with accessories that brighten up your ensemble, incorporating quirky prints into your look or adding pastel hues to your outfit.  Red is often a great way to add colour to your outfit. By adding red to a semi-neutral or neutral palette it adds a fun dimension to your look without making you feel overwhelmed with colour. While staying true to yourself, let that inner spice shine or stay confident in your neutral look.
