Magazine - Style

The constant pressure exerted upon us by the media and its images of size zero celebrities leads us falsely to believe that this is in fact how we should look ourselves. Furthermore, irrespective of whether you’re a size 8 or a size 28, everybody is consequently striving to be something they’re not. If your anything like I was, you’ve probably also got that dress tucked away at the back of your wardrobe.

As the new season approaches and the winter blues begin to set in, the fashion elite are bubbling with anticipation and excitement over the chance to finally be able to add layers, texture and depth to their wardrobe, which the colder months can allow.

For instance, a post World War II theme to make the most of a situation is evident.

As early summer begins to approach it is met with an influx of sporting events, providing ample opportunities to both update and replenish your wardrobe to keep it refreshed throughout the summer months.
