I did mention a few blog posts back that I have really stepped up my style lately. In my opinion; I’ve always known how to dress but when I stepped into my 30’s I started to REALLY work on my personal style. I think this has come out a lot more this year from the shoots I did with Katie Ryan Creations and some of the earlier shoots I did with my mum. What I realised however is that I hadn’t shot many formal outfits. One’s where I show how I dress up smart!
I have always had a thing for blazers and own a fair few, but what I realised is that I don’t own any suits. This is actually pretty bizarre to me, but I think it comes down to the fact that within the work I do (I am a Career Consultant by occupation) I have always worked for organisations that have allowed me to not have to wear them so there really hasn’t been a need to.
However, suits are never out of fashion and really help you to level up your style. As I didn’t have suits in my closet I decided to experiment and teamed two different shades of Yellow together. The result is a beautiful, show-stopping head-turning number that I am now planning to wear out to my next event.
None of the items I styled in this look are brand new and come directly from my closet. I honestly cannot tell you how difficult it is to be a shopaholic but one who is trying to shop less. It’s actually a living hell! However, for the sake of this look, I also found the fun in exploring my existing closet and seeing what I could create.

Aaliyah MTV Awards Inspired Look
Who else remembers Aaliyah’s iconic dress from the 2000 MTV Music Awards? The moment I saw her in it, I was mesmerized. It exuded sexy appeal without revealing too much, proving that sometimes less truly is more. As I’ve grown older, I’ve come to appreciate this philosophy. Showing just a hint of leg can make me feel sexy and confident while still leaving much to the imagination.
Channelling My Inner Girl Group Look in Green Combats and Timberland Boots
If you were born in the 80s and grew up in the 90s, this latest look will definitely bring back memories. When I was younger, girl groups often rocked combat boots and showed just a hint of midriff. It was an understated yet sexy style. You didn’t need to reveal much skin to make a statement, and you could still turn heads without showing off too much.
Faux Leather Co-ord and 3 Reasons Why You Should Wear The Colour Brown
When it comes to my fashion choices, I’m all about embracing what feels right for me, regardless of the latest trends. Sure, I keep an eye on what’s hot in the fashion world, but ultimately, I dress for myself. That’s why I have a soft spot for co-ords—they offer versatility and comfort that’s hard to beat.
