PASSION FOR I must have been in the second grade when I became aware of the power of a beautiful dress! The allure, the elegance, the way it transformed the lady wearing that beautifully designed gown at my mother’s shop. That was the year I wore my very first pageant gown. Wonderful! Life changing? Oh, yes! You see, what you wear on Prom or Graduation -or a pageant in my case- and on your wedding day, is going to have a lasting impression on you. The DRESS, will trigger a memory, an emotion, something special. A meticulously polished wardrobe also, has the power to revolutionize your life! Looking fashionable is all about playing with contrast and proportion. Silhouettes and colour. Not just big with small, but also hard with soft, tight with loose, and heavy with light. The shoes will complete the outfit, while accessories are the cherry on top. It starts by knowing your body shape and then finding the right silhouettes that flatters you the
most. Follow by the colours (solids or prints) that bring the glow in you. Of course you will choose the textiles according to the season you are dressing for (please, no wool in July!), and find your signature style, that which will set you apart from everyone else. To be truly stylish does not take a huge budget or four walk-in closets full of designer clothes -you don’t need a lot to look good. What you do need though, is to make good, sensible decisions. Buy what you need, buy what makes you feel great and hold on to nothing more. And, this is very important, look after your clothes. Follow the washing instructions and you will add years to your garments. Refashion in later years to create a completely new look. “Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening”. Coco Chanel Dina Harder Owner of Dilis Boutique
