SECRETS FROM A CELEBRITY STYLIST
We asked celebrity stylist, Veronica odeka, to open her little black book and share her top secrets on creating unforgettable looks.
know your best and favorite features and learn how to play them up.
know your body shape and the styles that look best on you.
Have a good tailor on speed dial. you can make fabulous inexpensive pieces, or even transform an old top or skirt into something more fashion forward.
know the importance of undergarments and how they can best flatter your body shape and your style. many women don’t know the full range of options available, and with so many different silhouettes in fashion it’s important to have the right undergarments to complement look.
To build a closet full of staples, you need versatile items in your wardrobe. Start with a few key pieces that you can wear with most things you have.
A piece you should absolutely invest in is a perfectly fitting blazer that can be worn with jeans or a dress. Also, figure out the style of jeans that looks best on you and buy them in a few colours. Another must-have is a white men’s-style shirt–they’re great as a top layer and perfect for throwing on with jeans.
you should always splurge on high quality accessories when you can afford to. most of these pieces can be worn for years and are definitely worth the investment.
Always declutter your wardrobe. Ask yourself if you’ve worn the item in a year, and if you haven’t, get rid of it.
don’t think about pieces individually, but how they can go with other items in your closet. If you can’t see yourself making an outfit out of something that makes you feel confident, it’s probably a good idea to get rid of the item.
not sure about your personal style? you need to ask yourself what kind of image you want to project and what makes you feel the most confident. This will help you find your own personal style.
