Be Beautiful, Rain or Shine
If you want to get through those unexpected summer showers and still look great, follow our top tips below and dont let rain stop play!
[b]Lightweight Parka [/b]
Perfect for keeping you dry when the skies open and easy to roll-up and pack away when the sun comes out again.
[b]Patent oversized bag [/b]
Stylish but practical.
Rain will roll off your patent bag like water
off a ducks back keeping all the contents perfectly dry. With a bag this size, you can fit in
all the essentials, and your parka to boot!
[b]Floral laminated bags [/b]
Think Orla Kiely. Colourful, laminated shoulderbags that are pretty and practical. Everything stays dry inside and the outside can easily be wiped clean.
[b]Colourful wellies[/b]
Dont be shy, find some whacky wellies in your colours! There are plenty to choose from and are fun to wear with a summer skirt or dress.
[b]Cork wedges[/b]
OK, so the event youre at is too smart for wellies; youd better opt for cork wedges instead. Your feet will be elevated a few inches from the puddles and cork is near-impermeable, which is why we use it for wine bottles!

The Dos and Don’ts of Dressing Up
Tip No 1
Consider the occasion carefully and do your research before you let the credit card fly in all directions. Is it:
* Indoor / outdoor?
* Sitting / standing up?
* Daytime / evening?
* Glam / relaxed?
* Show-off / play down?
Tip No 2
Under no circumstance should you walk into a boutique / department store and announce that you are looking for an outfit to go to a wedding. If you do, you’ll end up in coral head-to-toe ! Even if it is in your palette (for the warms) head-to-toe coral (other known alternatives are periwinkle and aqua) is not a good look, particularly if it comes with matching accessories.
Tip No 3
Be yourself. Don’t become all frivolous and flowery if, at the best of times, you feel better in a neat suit (i.e. you are a classic). Or don’t put yourself in that well co-ordinated suit if you feel more comfortable in trousers and a top (you might well then be a natural). Dressing according to your personality will help you have more fun in the process.
If you have not consulted it yet, Chapter 4 of Colour Me Confident (Hamlyn) deals with the issues of Style Personalities. Once you know and understand your Style Personality, putting your everyday and “special event” wardrobes together will become second nature.
Tip No 4
Ignore fashion. Just because it's “in” it doesn't mean that the garment you are considering is going to be right for you. As well as colour and the price you need to check things like scale of the pattern, where the waist is, the length of the dress/skirt and whether these are right - or wrong - for you. The baby-doll look is popular now, but do you want to look pregnant? We always advise that you should wear clothes that are comfortable - a little looser is a lot more flattering than a little too tight.
Tip No 5
Standing or sitting
If you are going to be standing up for the whole occasion, you MUST wear shoes you have worn before which have been put through the test.
If the occasion takes you into a garden, choose a stack heel or wedge which are unlikely to sink into the ground as you step on the lawn. Stack heels are big this season, and the choice of style and colour is yours for the taking.
Warning: Linen is a fabulously cool fabric to wear in spring and summertime, but if you are going to spend a fair amount of time sitting down, you may want to consider its crease factor.
Tip No 6
Plain or patterned
You need to consider whether what you are buying is going to be a one-off or something you’ll want to wear again and again.
With so much pattern around you’ll have a field day choosing yours. Make sure the size is in proportion with your scale. Patterns can be great to “hide” bits you don’t want to show off: a patterned top or dress can help disguise round tummies.
If you are wearing a pattern, keep the accessories plain; i.e. with a patterned dress, choose a plain coloured bag and shoes. Think about the costume jewellery too. Of course if you are a creative, you will ignore all this and do what you fancy on the day !
A plain coloured outfit will be more versatile as you can change your look simply by swapping accessories.
Tip No 7
Buying clothes should not be a chore. It is about having fun. Once you know what suits you and what colours and styles you should go for, shopping will be that much easier. It might be worth taking an afternoon off work mid-week (less people around) and go to a high street / mall where you can enjoy a more leisurely experience than at the week-end.
If you still feel it is all too much for you and the stress of finding what will make you the belle of the ball drives you insane, why not book a colour and/or style consultation with a colour me beautiful consultant. It is their job to make life easier for you.
