i think i’m talking about this Instagram every day – but, Did you know I finally found time for a personal styling session with the one and only Allison Bornstein? A youtube A video is in the works, and I will also summarize the advice she gave me in a blog post. So in the meantime, I’ll let you in on some of her insights on my three words. If you’re new to this method, here are three words that can sum up your style, help you master your look every day, and serve as your North Star for future purchases. I’ve settled on neutral as my first word, but Alison throws “refined‘ and ‘organic’ into it, and I’m like, ‘This is perfect’. So this month’s Sezane*Drop from yours really sums up each of my three words- delicate sandals, minimal skirts, organic bags, and let me tell you I am*Feel*I wear this dress myself. Here are some buying and styling tips…
buy bags. honestly paloma basket bag* Probably the most perfect raffia handbag I’ve ever found. I love the slim shoulder straps and the extra side pockets, but most of all – I love how soft and malleable it is. Not only does this mean it doesn’t snap as easily as stiffer styles and is easier to pack into a suitcase when traveling, but it also adds a touch of slouchy texture to your outfit.
Unexpected item in bagging area. The raffia bag is a handy addition to your collection as you can use it another way in your Alison kit – ‘wrong package‘ theory. The same idea applies to shoes, but choosing a bag is a bit unexpected given the rest of your outfit. Maybe you’re wearing a blazer, t-shirt, and tailored trousers. You might normally opt for a leather tote to accessorize, but why not try a straw tote?It changes appearance and can add something something Sometimes hard to find. It’s also handy for transitional looks when things start to feel a little heavy, and can be worn for a relaxed vibe.
Let it come alive. this maxine dress* Beautiful and simple (as a sizing guide, I’m wearing a size M). But why not use it as the perfect canvas to hang your remaining three words on? Given the entire ‘refinedI added some bolder but still chic jewelry – it gave it an elegant touch and a little fun. then for ‘organic‘I’ve added bags. Whenever I find that quality is lacking in clothes, I really think this bag will be very useful.
“Middle” sandals. we all know it’s summeralmost nonexistent“Sandals, but I found there was more to it”middle‘ is also really helpful. Especially if you do a lot of walking in your day. They can be a little more comfortable and provide the support you need.For reference, I’ve found it’s best to size up Sezane Shoes (I wear 40 judith sandals*).
