Spring it on…

This is such a great time of year for new beginnings as we watch the trees bud, flowers bloom and grass grow right before our very eyes. Just like with the colours of nature coming back to life, so should the colours of your wardrobe! Time to put away the rich, deep maroons, eggplants, russets, and olive greens of fall and bring out the brighter pinks, purples, oranges, sage and lime greens of the season.

For Men
Only

Tie a yellow ribbon ‘round more than an old oak tree!  Look for ties with buttercup yellow, sage green, orange, lime green, peach and coral if your skin tones are warm and you have any red tones in your hair. For you cooler guys (we are talking colour here) go for the brighter blue,

pink, silver, periwinkle and red. Both warm and cool colouring can wear purple. It looks great on camera and is the colour of royalty so go ahead and be king for a day! You should have your ties separated into 2 seasons, Spring/Summer and Winter/Fall. Now is the perfect time of year for “in with the new out with the old”, so organize your ties. Retire any with worn areas, too narrow, too thick or you just don’t wear! Any with spots, send to the cleaners and then separate the darker, richer colours from the lighter, brighter colours. Now is a good time to purchase new ties for the season as stores are receiving new merchandise weekly for the new season.

This Way, Ladies

Perk up ladies, time for a bra fitting!! When was the last time you were professionally fitted? Let me get this off my chest, over 85% of us are wearing the WRONG size!

And no matter what anyone says, we all know deep down size does matter. So does style! There are  styles to choose from and finding the right size and style in the right brand for comfort and presentation is no easy task. It is crucial you take the time to do this. Just like building a house, if the foundation is not right, it doesn’t matter how expensive the furniture is, it still looks off. Wardrobe is such a key element of your success and it all starts with wearing the proper lingerie. Be prepared to pay the price. Quality bras are not cheap and they shouldn’t be. Think about the heavy load they have to carry everyday. We don’t buy them as often as we should, so it evens out and is really pennies a day… Get those girls lifted and separated and see how much better you will feel and your wardrobe will look!
