STYLE can’t be bought, it can’t be taught or learnt. Style is an innate sense of putting pieces together to create your look; you either have it or you don’t.
It’s also about confidence. Ideally, don’t buy something that doesn’t make you feel good and look great. Similarly, don’t fall for the what’s-on-trend or what’s-in-fashion-now mindset unless you know your body and what works best for you.
So you might wonder at the name of this blog … What Every Woman Needs.
Why did I chose the word “needs” as opposed to “wants”?
Should your bag match your shoes?
How to look rich when you’re not
Want is to feel a desire for, or wish for, to be without or deficient in … something.
For example, you desperately want the It bag of the moment, the to-die-for shoe of the season or because Vogue, Harpers Bazaar or W magazine tell you so. You absolutely want it. But you probably don’t need it because you already have 10 (or 20) other great bags or 120 pairs (and counting) of shoes, which are all in good condition and more than sufficient.
Whereas, need means that some necessity exists, a basic requirement, to be necessary.
In other words, you’ve got a great suit, but you need a classic white shirt or basic white T-shirt to wear back with it. This logic can be applied to almost any wardrobe staple.
So what does every woman need?
Would love to hear thoughts and interpretation of want versus need? What do you need in your wardrobe? Would love to hear from you. Ever stylishly yours …
