Luxe Everyday – Townsville Personal Wardrobe Fashion Stylist

Working From Home Outfit Formulas

04.30.2020 by Amelia Clements //

While living in isolation may soon come to an end, wearing comfortable yet elevated outfits never go out of style. I believe an outfit should always make you feel comfortable and confident. If something is ill-fitting or irritating it’s hard to feel at ease. That’s why I’ve formulated these easy-to-wear looks that will take you from the couch to Zoom-Ready in an instant. All pieces are linked in the descriptions. Enjoy! x

Outfit 1: Workout Warrior
Many people think that as a stylist I would be against activewear outside the gym but they couldn’t be more wrong. A well coordinated workout outfit can be incredibly flattering and keeps up with a busy lifestyle. Choose colours that flatter your skin tone (as you may not be wearing make up) and go for fabrics that support your shape.

Outfit 2 – Pyjamas But Not
As someone who works from home I am well practiced at striking the balance between ultra comfort and still being able to answer the door. Go for luxe fabrications such as lightweight knitwear that will work for multiple seasons.

Outfit 3 – Casual Confidence
I love layering basics together to make a casual outfit go from meh to meow! Good quality, stretch tights or dressed up pleather leggings are a great wardrobe staple. Slim fit denim jackets are far more flattering than oversized. And I can’t go past a soft crop top or bralette for the ultimate at-home comfort.

Outfit 4 – Bohemian Luxe
A well styled, flowing outfit can make you feel like your floating on a cloud. Pair with luxe jewellery and a more structured shoes to elevate the look.

Outfit 5 – Nifty Knitwear
Definitely my winter go-to, soft knitwear that’s light enough to layer is always a flattering option.

Outfit 6 – Cosy Co-Ords
I love a good matching set as you can wear them separately or bring together for a winning combo. The split in the skirt stops it from being in the realm of ‘Nana’. Pair with sneakers to keep it fresh.

Four Shoes Every Woman Needs In Their Wardrobe

12.04.2019 by Amelia Clements //

If I had to pinpoint one area of a woman’s wardrobe that is always overstocked with old and tired looking pieces, it has to be her shoes! That doesn’t mean she has too many, often times she doesn’t have enough, of the right shoes, for her lifestyle, that pair back perfectly with the majority of her clothes. Shoes are one of the hardest working pieces you’ll ever wear, they literally support you all day long! They deserve a little respect by being the highest quality you can afford.

I’m a huge believer in shopping smarter by doing your research and buying quality over quantity. Buying cheap is often a false economy which leaves our wardrobes bursting with compromises and mismatched disappointment. The antidote is simple, take stock of what you have (in your wardrobe), who you are (your shape and colouring) and what you do most in your life (your activities & lifestyle). Once you’ve done that it’s MUCH easier to see an item in store or online and tell immediately if it’s going to work for you.

From repeating this process again and again with my clients over the years, I’ve started noticing certain pieces that suit most women and their lifestyles. I call these pieces wardrobe staples and definitely think they are worth investing in.

I have curated the below styles that now make up my summer shoe wardrobe. I chose them all in the same colour as I wear it a LOT and wanted to highlight the style of shoe and not distract you with different colours. In order of how often I wear them, here are the four shoes I believe every woman has room for in her wardrobe.

The Neutral Flat – choose a style that is smart enough for work but soft enough for the weekend. I love this style because of the almond shape toe which elongates the leg. Gone are the round toe ballet flats of the early noughties, which we were promised would be ‘classic’ and ‘cool’ forever but it turns out just make you legs look stumpy.
The White Sneaker – the epitome of effortless cool, they instantly downplay an outfit and make it look fresh. Wear them with virtually anything from maxi dresses to wide leg linen pants. You almost can’t go wrong.
The Flatform Sandal – reinvented into different incarnations every summer the sandal has been elevated this season…literally. Flatform sandals add height without discomfort and add a little drama to an otherwise neutral shoe.
The Stacked Heel – the perfect style hack, these heels add sky scraper height but maintain stability through a platform at the front. For an updated twist go for block heels in a shorter length.

Well there you have it ladies, a lesson in responsible shoe ownership. I’d like to thank Naturalizer for gifting me these beautiful and sponsoring this post so I can continue to create content.
