Slouchy,voluminous and asymmetric is the way to go.

Standard

Winter is just around the corner and I decided to upgrade my winter capsule wardrobe. Here is what I found about the latest trend in winter wear.

Slouchy is in.

Gone are the fitted silhouettes. Now you can be super comfortable in these slouchy coats.Think cape coats,drapes, shawls,woolen ponchos.

Go voluminous.

A nice trend as it helps to layer and hide all the weight from festive bingeing.

Symmetry was never so passe. Go for asymmetric hemlines to add the oomph factor.

Layer it.

Rather than wearing a single super warm piece, wear layers . You can use your summer sheers and add them in layers to give a very modern twist.

Long is the way to go.

Length is back in trend. Wear long coats with tights and boots. It is slimming and warm.

Shearling is in.

It is not pure sheepskin but a synthetic fabric that looks like the original.

Welcome to the comfortable fall fashion.

Go Psychedelic, Graphic and Colorful this fall.

Standard

This fall ditch the blacks and browns for color. Psychedelic prints.geometric cuts.splashes of color will keep you  upbeat and beat the gloom. Invest in colorful trenches, printed bright scarves and and pop colored totes….amazing. If you are not confident of so much color add neutral pieces for your lowers. This instantly makes your outfit just right. Or you can carry forward your summer tops by teaming them up bright lowers. Sheer tops from summer can be layered with shearling jackets and cape coats to give an interesting look. There is no strict divisions between summer and winter wear if you layer sensibly. And on the flip side your Summer Capsule wardrobe can be carried forward into winter.

Fashion for kids…WHAT !

Fashion for kids…WHAT !

Does the above picture look innocent?

NO

Do kids really need fashion? With the new breed of celebrity kids mushrooming on the horizon there is a huge trend that advocates fashion for small children. Now it is one thing to make your child aware of the importance of dressing well , but to encourage them to dress like adults iS so frustrating.Here are some suggestions on how to make them effortlessly trendy without imposing fashion on them.

1) Teach them cleanliness and neatness.

Refer to my post…https://toweararainbow.wordpress.com/2014/09/17/all-about-hands-and-feet/

It is worthwhile to inculcate that habit early on in your kids.

2) Good posture.

Time and again I have advocated the role of a good posture in how you look. Stand up straight, shoulders back, chin up and a smile on your face. And that’s it …you are raring to go!

3) Physical activity.

Kids should know the importance of exercise and a good healthy diet. If they have the habit of leading a healthy lifestyle, automatically they shall grow up into beautiful adults.

4) Teach them by example.

How you dress up, how you carry yourself , what is your maintenance routine, all this rubs off on your children. Behave the way you would like them to behave.

5) No make up for kids.

Now that is something all of us should follow. It looks terrible if you let your child wear make up. At least not till they are in their teens.

6) Make them wear the right lingerie at the right time.

This is of utmost importance. Any delay in starting the right bra will lead to physical and emotional problems for your girl. I know it sounds too gross but believe me this is one of the most important milestone in dressing up as an adult. A delay in starting the wearing of a bra, a wrong fit and a lack of communication with your daughter may lead to loss of self confidence later on on life.

7) Teach them to be what they are.

Instill confidence in them and teach them to love themselves. Rest will surely follow. After all it’s not clothes that make the man.

Little girls should not be wearing make-up, big hair, false eyelashes, hair pieces, fake teeth….It is not about the little girls though. This is about the mothers turning their daughters into women while they are little girls.  Don’t let the innocence be lost. They are going to make their fashion choices later on in life , so leave them alone.If you want your little girls to grow up as secure women….let them be little girls first. They should be secure with their little girl natural looks.

Isn’t the au naturel  look better?
So darlings let your little girl enjoy her childhood , help her grow into a confident young woman and let her choose what she wants to look like when she is older.
Fashion….that they will learn.
 BE HAPPY ALWAYS

These are pictures of me and my sisters and daughter on vacation in Goa. Notice my red scarf (from Hong Kong) in the earlier pic and the bright pink bag my daughter is carrying . So pleasing to the eye! I am wearing a peach kaftan in the last picture with multicoloured edges to brighten the outfit.

These small additions are my way of beating the blues.

   In this photograph my daughter has nicely teamed a a blue top , neon pink bag with black shorts. Though not a perfect  assembly for the chill this combination can be a winner if a shrug is added to the attire.bohemian floral dress - purple print and tights with soft medium grey boots and dusty plum cardi

 

And the layering comes back too .Do look my post on” Playing with layers”.
