Black is one of my favourite colours.  Black can be intriguing, sophisticated and elegant.  When it comes to selecting black items for my wardrobe, I search for unique pieces and works of art.  Such as my beautifully crafted wool blend textured jacket.

A timeless black silk shirt and stunning black lace structured dress add interest and an element of distinction to my professional wardrobe.  Adorned with a pair of shiny black heels, they make great staples that can carry you from the office through to functions or events in the evening.

When you understand your unique colour palette based on your characteristics and personality, and balance this both intuitively and intellectually, you will know how to create a look and style that is made just for you.

I use colour to communicate my individuality and when I wear the right colours it gives me the image of style and confidence. It plays an important part in my life not only because I am in the field of providing image advice but also because it is how I express my creativity and love of fashion.

Use colour to communicate your individuality by adding it to your life!

Your personal colours

Select a Swiss watch that is classic and holds its value such as the IWC, Ulysses Nardin or Panerai.

Before it’s too late, now is an important time to schedule in some ‘time out’ for yourself, something that is often overlooked during this hectic time of year.

Everybody has a different way of unwinding; perusing the latest fashion at the stores or on-line with a glass of champagne (highly recommended!), working out at the gym, perhaps a little pampering or reading a great book. Wouldn’t you agree that it’s essential to make the time to do these things on a regular basis? Maintaining a ‘work-life balance’ can become a bit difficult if  like us, you really do enjoy what you do for a living.  It is us, however, who generally burn out the quickest as we never switch off, mentally or in the technological sense.

If there simply are not enough hours in the day to take time out for yourself, then how about scheduling that meeting over a game of golf or a walk around the river rather than in the boardroom? In most cases, your client or colleague is probably just as time-deprived as you are and would enjoy the break!

A healthy state of mind is the foundation for projecting a confident image.  Are you aligned?

Much like selecting a coloured shirt that represents how we feel that morning, we can also look to financial markets to determine the appropriateness of the height of our skirt or even the width of our tie.  No wonder why everyone is wearing so much black!

Fashion is a key indicator of social mood and one term that you may have heard recently is ‘recessionary fashion’. You only need to watch the latest runways of Paris and you’ll see examples from Ralph Lauren and Hermès with ‘collections inspired from Dust Bowl Okies to tennis courts, aka the ‘Great Gatsby’ revival’.  An interesting article by Robert R Prechter gives insight into how the current spring fashion trends are indicative of ‘recessionary’ times, thus being  tied to financial markets. Click here to read the full article.

We’re not sure if  tattered overalls or Grandpa’s shoes will be making an appearance in the EGAMI STYLE offices anytime soon, however we will make a concerted effort to not wear black every day!  What colour are you wearing right now?

However, recession or no recession, style is forever.
