VERSATILITY IS KEY

Regardless of the numerous fashion trends in the world that most shoppers strive to keep up with, it is important to learn the value of a versatile wardrobe. No matter how tempting it is to buy the latest trend items, it is much more beneficial to build a versatile wardrobe.

I encourage shopping consciously by investing in fashionable and functional pieces. You should be able to create multiple outfits with fewer clothes. 

"Items that you can repeatedly wear and style into different outfits are what will keep you going and let you build your own iconic style."

At Dara Chic Studio (IG: @darachic.studio), I designed a sheer coat with delicate blossom prints that is versatile in not one, but three ways:

Worn as kimono:

       

Worn as dress 

Worn as pool/beach loungewear:

                                         

Wade into the sheer fashion by incorporating this versatile coat into your wardrobe rotation.

The BOSS COLLECTION is dedicated to every busy woman on top of her game who wants to look like the best, most powerful version of herself. No matter your line of work, a suit is a wardrobe staple. Whether you want to elevate your office wear, are opting for a relaxed daytime look paired with sneakers or donning a sleek tuxedo, you cannot underestimate the versatility of a suit.

ROCK HOT: CHANEL IMAN

It seems crop tops are here to stay, and if the trend this year is 'lace & pearl', I'm definitely joining the bandwagon, but first; I have to strive to get that GYM BODY (yawns).

Here's Supermodel Chanel Iman slaying in a two-piece lace and pearl crop top by Australian Designer, Jaime Lee Major and a Kurt Geiger Britton Pumps.

Everything is beautiful about this look, from the color to the floral appliques on the off-shoulder neckline............

.......... to the well adorned details/pattern...

....the Grecian braid and light make up...so pretty. 

What's not to love?
