This one is about an amazing inspiring lady called MOM. I could not have started this without her. She has been my very first inspiration when it comes to fashion and to this day we exchange ideas and clothes 😉

It was with my great pleasure that I can now give back a little. I was over the moon that she allowed me to style her, put outfits together and make it all in line with her colour palette. My mom has always had a great sense of style. She did seem to have her colour palette confused for years though.

It is not easy to figure it out for yourself. Knowing whether you are warm or cool skin tone and which season’s palette you fall under is a great knowledge to have.

I carried out colour analysis on her and it turned that she is a Summer. It was to her big surprise as for years she kept filling her wardrobe with amazing clothes in the colours from Autumn palette. Unfortunately some of those colours do nothing to flatter her beautiful green eyes or other features. When wearing wrong colours we look older, sadder, muted… just not as good as we deserve to look.

The fun has begun once we let go of many pieces that can serve someone else and mom can now sparkle every day. I was pleased to find many pieces that do work with her colours, it was just that she was not wearing them often, some of them never before.

I believe most of us have more that enough clothes to make up and amazing wardrobe, we just need a little guidance at time.

So here they are. Few of the new outfits my mom is rocking at the moment.

 

We started with a casual sweatshirt in a beautiful baby blue/grey which is an amazing piece to be had by anyone with a cool skin tone. For Summer it is awesome when paired with pastel, here with cool salmon pants and a delicate layering necklace in mixed metal (always a good piece to have). Mom is wearing no foundation at all, a little mascara and a nude lipstick, nothing more! We also added a scarf in gorgeous shades of grey and booties that complete the look giving it a little edge.

This is a new colour in mom’s wardrobe. We styles the beautiful true blue top she got recently with the denim midi skirt and grey court shoes. Simple and so flattering.

We then added this awesome knitted jacket in soft white, lovely lightweight pattern scarf and changed shoes to these stone ankle boots. I love the pockets on the skirt and the whole look on her. She rocks this one too.

Here we go with a leather effect pencil skirt with the same top and shoes but we added a long denim shirt on top (that can be worn as a long shirt with leggings or a dress) making it act as a light coat/jacket and lighting the outfit up a little which is great for her complexion.

One top yet so many options and denim comes to play again. Do I need to say anything else? So cool ;))

This outfit can easily take you from day to evening. She is still just wearing the minimal make up but for an evening look I’d definitely suggest a little foundation, blusher and add a red lip.

I just realized that denim plays a leading role here 😉 Nothing wrong with that and this is a great example that you should not be afraid to mix denim with denim, just make sure they are not a perfect match. I love these high waist pants in true blue with the pattern blouse and finished with a denim jacket in sky blue denim. Don’t forget a statement necklace to complete the look. These brown leather heels break up the blue on blue in a great way. One of my favorite combinations is blue with brown accessories (belts, hats, shoes).

This was more than fun and I cannot wait to hear from you. Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below.
