Best Buys
'Ask and it is Given' A book I highly recommend to those of you who are interested in how your 'intention' and 'desire' can make a difference to what results you attain in life. It is a great book for reconsidering the way you see yourself/your personal image of yourself, and watching how, by changing your perception, you start to look at yourself differently in the mirror.How to choose the Perfect Outfit for the Christmas Party
Opt for your favourite colourOn formal occasions it isn’t necessary to go for a neutral colour which can be an instinctive choice as they convey an element of authority and formality. (Neutral colours – white, black, navy, brown, tan, cream and grey).
Instead choose your favourite colour as this is a time to look your best and the half of it is feeling your best. Your favourite colour will lift you up psychologically and make you feel happier about yourself. Even excited that you are wearing it! If one of your favourite colours is a neutral then go for that too. You will stand out more though if don’t go for the common choice - black.
Ensure you feel comfortable
On certain occasions we can feel compelled to choose a lower cleavage, wear a skirt, have a jacket, wear pearls or whatever you think is required. The important thing is to not go too off track from what you would normally choose. If you are someone that typically prefers higher necklines, this doesn’t mean that if you have a hot date coming up you must get a low cleavage top. What can look good on another can look inappropriate on you.
Also, if you are a typical trouser wearer, you don’t have to go for a skirt. If you imagine your ideal outfit...

Ask Sarah
Each issue I publish my answer to a style-related question sent in since last month. This issue’s featured question from Loes is:"I don't have a particular long neck but neither a really short one. I am quite large boned and quite big. I find that I should wear big / bold jewellery, also in necklaces, and other accessories like scarves, shoes and bags. (Small things just seem to disappear). Can you please elaborate? Thank you!"
Yes - you are right. For your structure and frame, complementing with medium to large scale items is best. All items, details, patterns need to reflect you and if you are someone that has a stronger bone structure and frame, then you need to mirror this in your clothing choices.
Two reasons to help you understand why:
1) We all have our own feminine energy type. If you are more a 'Matriarch' - the adult female archetype then you will require more adult clothing. The small items that you refer to are more suited to the 'Maiden' - the girl archetype (the Kylie Minogues of this world), so that is why these items are disappearing on you as they are more suited to a childlike type than the adult/mother archetype which you are.
