bold

Scene stealer

Do you dress for attention or intention and what's the difference? ATTENTION is anything that turns heads, INTENTION is a message you 'intend' to convey (professional, creative, functional, tasteful)! For me, as a teen I was drawn to the most inconspicuous possible...fast forward 30 years (ok 40), I counsel myself with 'no need to wear all the bold things at once'! Here's a great tip that someone once shared... If you're dressed and ready to go and unsure of all the components...face away from the mirror, turn around quickly and the first thing that catches your eye...take it off. (I personally take all else off-lol). OR turn to someone who knows what works...like Plum.

I'm not sure which camp this dress falls into, nor if it matters. It's so pretty, yet bold and easy to wear. Features an easy shape, pockets, tie back and comes in 3 great patterns. Go summer!!

This definitely makes for a dramatic look. Love the black/white contrast, however, keeping in mind the detailed pattern of the lace, one could certainly pair it with many other things, skinny jeans, crop pants, shorts, with footwear being one of the key focus changers.

Perhaps your intention is towards looking casual, comfortable, yet still trendy. This has it all in the bag. Cold shoulder and pink have made a big splash this year. The loose fit and tie dye create a casual comfortable vibe! (also makes a great cover-up for the beach).

For professional reasons, you might need to keep things somewhat simple. The above top is indeed simple, however, with a different twist, vertical variegated stripes.

If your intention and attention don't come together, that's ok...just get dressed, be yourself and wear what you love don't let it wear you!

Colour me Bold

 

Image

Colour is a powerful tool in dressing. It can reveal your mood, showcase your personality, and broadcast your confidence. And, because it is so powerful, a lot of people tend to shy away from colour. And to them I say, why? There are so (so) many ways you can incorporate colour into your wardrobe. Whether you want to go bold, bolder, or be the absolute boldest, get colour working for you! 

Image

Bold: This look is great if you're interested in testing the colour waters. Ramp up your typical jeans + shirt combo (we love the Canadian tuxedo look, pictured above - surprisingly chic, isn't it?) with a punch of colour. Try a clutch or a statement necklace in any bold colour you love, and voilà.

Bolder: If you're ready to graduate to the next level of colour, experiment with doing a closet staple, like this blazer, in a daring new hue. Anchored with black denim and a top in a classic stripe, the coloured blazer - and the lady wearing it - are the centre of attention.

Boldest: If you really want to turn heads, colour yourself in from head to toe. Choose complimenting shades, like blue and yellow, and add some extra depth to your look to keep it from veering into  'primary' territory. A hint of leopard print peeking out and a chunky gold chain necklace fit the bill very nicely.
