Dressing Like a Lady
Since last fall we have seen a strong influence of the lady like looks, and it’s still hanging in. Take inspiration from old divas like Grace Kelly, or simply have a look at your grandma. Here’s a list of what you will need to get the look. Remember that you don’t have to take it all the way, but you can spice up those jeans with a little something. If you do want to take it all the way, this is the time to play around with different textures and colors. This style you can get pretty cheap cause secondhand stores are usually filled with old ladies’ left overs.
Scarves Head scarf is a must, it looks so classy! A nice scarf tied around your neck will also do fine.
Pumps Go to your local secondhand store and pick up some classy black pumps. Try socks in your pumps, this will spice the outfit up in a second.
Tweed A pencil tweed skirt is essential, and even better if it comes with a matching jacket. A tweed coat will also come in handy. Tweed goes perfectly with silk and laces.
Knits A knitted cardigan, a knitted top with a bow around the neck, anything knitted really…
Pearls and gold Here you can score bigtime in your local secondhand store. Look for anything that sparkles. Old ladies likes to wear their finest jewelry on any given day.
Hats Invest in a nice hat. A hat with a net is a winner. You have to be careful though not to go over the top on this one. If you choose a hat like this, make the outfit simple. You’ll find nice ones on Ebay.
Fur You don’t have to get anything more than a fur collar, but make sure to have some fur.
what about monocles?
