Do you have a closet full of clothes, but nothing to wear? Does shopping for quality basic wardrobe pieces make you feel overwhelmed and frustrated? On a budget and don’t know what to buy or how to even begin? Overcome by the current economy and dying for an image makeover for the New Year?
Image Expert and Author, Jeane B. says there are simple ways to easily, efficiently and affordably fill in the gaps in your wardrobe. In doing so, it becomes easy to create a flawlessly chic wardrobe that will not only flatter your physique, but last for years to come.
Jeane B., a veteran of the style and fashion industries for the last 3 decades,
says women should always consider colors, fabrics and styles for when looking to create the foundation of a wardrobe. She offers this advice to make the best choices for your body, style and proportion.
1. Always choose the best quality fabric you can find for years and years of wear! Look for tropical wools, cottons, silk and cashmere for 10-20 years of enjoyment.
2. For the most flattering color match, pair your basic wardrobe pieces to reflect or enhance the color of your cheeks, lips, eyes, hair and overall complexion.
3. Choose clean and simple lines for your 7 basic foundation pieces. Simple construction combined with natural fibers is classic, durable and trend proof!
4. Use accessories such as belts, necklaces, scarves and shoes to change the “look” of your ensemble, season after season.
5. Amplify the look of your wardrobe with brightly colored accessories, animal prints, or artsy finds. Personalize YOUR look, effortless changing style without breaking the bank, year after year!
Also part of the perfect ensemble experience, is the “cannot live without” beverage, say image expert Jeane B. She says a drink can is the unspoken calling card of style and Champagne Piper-Heidsieck says chic, smart and classic. Jeane B. describes Champagne Piper-Heidsieck Brut as a beverage which adds lively, enthusiastic character to the traditional qualities of elegance and finesse in a non vintage brut. Jeane B. say you can enjoy Springtime aromas of Granny Smith apple and citrus fruits as it brightens your palate at the very first sip.
For the best “accessory” to the Piper Heidsieck “necessity”, this custom ice bucket completes the ensemble! The collaboration of Jaime Hayon and Piper-Heidsieck is like a meeting placed under the banner of extravaganza. Piper-Heidsieck wanted to create an object which would be simultaneously useful and elegant, epitomizing the true spirit of "Extravaganza", i.e. the brand's values of elegance, audaciousness and creativity. Given his fantasy and his extravagant style, Spanish industrial designer Jamie Hayon was the obvious choice. Jaime Hayon’s red, Piper-Heidsieck ice bucket is cast in a modern material which is designed to keep its contents cool. It is equipped with a single oversized handle, intricately wrought with a touch of XVIIIth century refinement.
Champagne Piper-Heidsieck Brut can be found locally at AJ's Fine Foods.
