How to find the perfect shoes to match any outfit…

Much to the disdain of my ever-so-patient  boyfriend, I love shoe shopping. Everyone loves to do the things they’re good at – I’m no exception:)

When it comes to shoes, however, we should be looking for quality not quantity. There’s certainly no need to own as many shoes as Victoria Beckham!

What shoes you should wear depends on your height, leg shape, body shape and ankles.

To get the most versatile shoes, keep the colour neutral, the height work and play friendly and make it a peep toe.

Yummy Mummy Magic

Stylish no matter what! A Ruby Slippers Styling Guarantee.

From work wear to maternity wear to…..now where?

Ahhhh – that little bundle of love brings you so much joy but have you been left feeling a little lost in the style stakes?

Motherhood is one of the most joyous occasions in your life.  Yet for some it can mean the devastating end to high heels, low cut tops and midriff hugging jeans – at least for a little while until the figure returns.

With time so precious and feeling anything but sexy the last thing on your mind is what to wear daily. When your body has changed so much you not only don’t fit into anything you own it’s got you reaching for your maternity clothes.

STOP!

Fear not ladies! Let Ruby Slippers help you find your style whether you’re heading back to work or looking for everyday, quick and easy styling.

You can still look absolutely chic and stunning no matter what shape your post-pregnancy body is. It’s all a matter of attitude and adjusting the way you judge yourself in the mirror. Just because you can’t squeeze into size 8 jeans anymore doesn’t mean you don’t look good in a skirt, a kaftan, a maxi or many other awesome alternatives.

There’s tricks (and a bit of styling magic) you can use to look awesome regardless of what you see in the mirror. Give the size 8 jeans, and yourself, a break! You’ve just had a baby!

Yummy Mummy Magic happens when you’re glowing and growing with confidence. A little head start from Ruby Slippers Styling will have that inner style queen inside of you emerging again before you know it.

Smarter Sales Shopping

Don’t waste money, energy or time unnecessarily. THINK before you buy!

Do you have clothes hanging in your wardrobe with the discount tag still attached? Are you wondering what, apart from the price, convinced you to buy them?!

Well follow Ruby Slipper Styling’s tips for sales shopping and you’ll be laughing all the way to the check out!!!
Make a plan…and stick to it! Here’s some tips for smarter sales shopping… 

  • Decide which shops you’re visiting and try on their clothes beforehand so you know your sizes.
  • Go early, get there when the shops open you’ll avoid the big lunchtime crowds and get the best bargains.
  • Buy staples such as jackets and jeans, you’ll get so much more wear out of them the bargain will definitely be yours!
  • Don’t panic buy! Snatch and grab tactics always end in wasted wardrobe tears.
  • Stick to colours that you know work for you
  • Buy COMPLETE outfits more so than just separate items OR at least ensure you’ve clothes and shoes to match at home.
  •  Think carefully about ‘in fashion’ items that are out of season – are they ‘basic’ enough to wear the next season? Will the trend last?
  • Stock up on quality under garments – a boob-lifting bra will never go out of fashion!
  • Go with just a few trusted friends NOT an army of fashion-hungry women – Shopping can be fun in groups but also a nightmare if you’re all eyeing off the same bargains. I’ve seen a friendship end over a pair of Prada pants!
  • Don’t listen to pushy sales attendants – Not all are ruthless, commission-based vultures but some are – they’ll tell you anything to get a sale. A bargain is only a bargain only if you end up wearing it!

THINK it’s a bargain? Great! BUT think again with all the above tips in mind.

And hey – if you don’t like to  think too much when you’re bargain hunting let Ruby Slippers Styling do the thinking on your behalf. We’ve a nose for awesome bargains that are perfect for your unique style and your budget.

Brighten your day with BLACK!

Versatile, Classic and Slimming – Why would you wear anything else?

Colour is awesome! Splashing a lashing of colour throughout your wardrobe can do wonders to your style. So why do we always tend to go back to black?

Whether we’re wearing it because it’s so versatile, slimming or just because it’s classic, black is everyone’s favourite staple. At Ruby Slippers Styling we LOVE colour but there is no shying away from the fact that black is the ultimate timeless, elegant colour. How can Coco Chanel be wrong? 

Still, I see people doing ‘black’ very badly!

Here’s my top 5 tips to ensure you don’t commit any of the dreaded ‘black sins of style’…

  1. Keep it really black, once things have washed out either use a dye or say bye.
  2. Don’t wear it head to toe, it’s very over powering. Add in a neutral tone such as gold, bronze, cream or grey.
  3. Break the look up with different textures – putting a black leather jacket over a black dress or wearing lace will add a different dimension to your look. It will make the outfit look far more interesting and sexy.
  4. Break the outfit up with accessories. You don’t need to buy a new dress, you’ve got that amazing LBD in the wardrobe, you just need a fab new necklace and you’ll look amazing.
  5. Go wild with shoes. If you’re wearing all black lash out in the colour stakes and be daring with a hot shoe colour – this is particularly so if you’re wearing black during the day.

Still not confident you’re doing ‘black’ right? We’d love to help! Call Ruby Slippers Styling today.

Not getting noticed at work? Maybe it’s the way you dress.

Let’s face it. You could be a trained rocket scientist capable of running the entire country but if your confidence is lacking you’ll get nowhere when the next round of office promotions are handed out. There you’ll sit on the switch board putting people on hold while your office buddies are hitting career goals right out of the park.

Can how you dress affect your confidence at work?

You bet.
