Rain hats!

Posted on October 7, 2013 by stylepointofview

It’s raining!!!!!

I hate umbrellas. It’s easy to lose them, you have to hold them with one hand, therefore, you only have one left, which is obviously not enough, otherwise we wouldn’t have two! Also, where does one put it soaking wet once it has stopped raining and one does not need it anymore, wanting to use the hand the was previously busy holding it!!!!!!
They usually look awful and if they don’t you WILL lose them or they will be stolen.
Hence the HAT.
It’s much more practical, it can be fun, once you don’t need anymore you can fold it inside out and easily store in your handbag. Your hands are free to do lots of other things…..
Ok, if it is raining lots your hat will not be enough, but, do you really want to be out in pouring rain?! Better to stay home with a nice cup of tea.

Leather

Posted on October 6, 2013 by stylepointofview

Leather, such an interesting though difficult subject! The thing is, it can really look great or awful, so it must be handled with great care! Leather can look very chic worn with the right things, on the other hand, you add too much or too complicated or again the fit isn’t right or the material (especially faux leather) hasn’t a good finish (perhaps cardboard like), and you end up looking an absolute disaster!!! The other risk is looking “tarty”, which I personally find worse than anything else….

So, having motivated !!! you about wearing it, here is my list:

1 JACKET looks great with just about anything apart from more leather. I love it on a dress, always nice with jeans but as nice with trousers. I suppose one has to be slightly more careful with skirts… if you don’t have one you MUST get one!

2 DRESS there’s a few dresses around and I think they are gorgeous! They obviously need to be simple, NOT TOO TIGHT, and must be worn with rather understated accessories if any.

3 SKIRTS I am a bit fed up with the usual black pencil skirt so I would go for something different in either colour or shape. Wear it with a simple classic sweater, thick tights and flats (pumps, lace-ups, ankle boots).
