IT'S NOT FASHION; IT'S A CHIC MINIMALIST


It's not fashion; it's simply A Chic Minimalist

I adore personal style and am not overly dictated by trends from the outside. It is all about building a wardrobe over time based on what suits your body through trial and error.  Ladies do not be afraid to experiment, it is only fashion you can always change if nothing is working.  You never know what you might find through a little test of a dress or pant. My personal style is minimal chic and I am unapologetic about the fact that I do not wear pants.  So go out and explore what inspires you in order to develop your own signature look. Indeed personal style is truly how you stand out from the fashion  not by having the latest or hottest covetable item.

A quintessential staple of my wardrobe are high waisted skirts and pencil dresses.  Perhaps you might take a style cue from these inspirational looks:

BREAKFAST IN TIFFANY'S BLUE

A simple, sleek, and sexy off-the-shoulder t-shirt dress paired with classic black loafers is effortlessly chic for an impromptu brunch with a dear one.  Opt for undone hair and leave it natural ladies since its always a nice touch when paired with something causal. Also keep the make-up minimal with a little under eye concealer, facial moisturiser, and clear lip gloss. Just enough to be stunning and fresh in the morning.
