From Ethical Fashion Forum's Elizabeth Laskar & Pamela Daniels
Fashion is what you have in your wardrobe. Style is how you live and create with it.
THE COLOURS OF YOUR PERSONALITY
A well selected wardrobe should express the facets of your personality, not just the latest trends. Know your colour palette. It will save you money and time - get your colours done.
BODY
Love and understand your body. Then learn to shop and dress for your body shape. Good posture and confidence also go a long way.
ACCESSORISE
Invest in at least 5 styles of belt - they are a great accessory and can change the silhouette of an outfit in seconds. Keep scarves, hats and jewellery to hand to easily spice up a look.
PEOPLE, PROFIT, PLANET
When you buy and article of clothing, think about the social and environmental impact attached to it - perhaps for every two items of clothing you buy... buy one ethical item.
MIX & MATCH
Think outside the box. Wear scarves as belts, wear v-necks backwards, get vintage trims, lace and sequins to add sophistication and embellishment to simple items.
NEW BEST FRIEND
Look at each item in your wardrobe as an opportunity to be styled into something unique. Your new look is only a hemline away. Find a local tailor and have fun!
FREQUENT TRAVELLER
Africa is making a big influence on our fashion - use accessories to get a hint of Africa in your look. Travel the world through your wardrobe. See La Lesso or Made's fabulous African made jewellery collections.
WORK, REST & PLAY
Work from rest... not rest from work. Then Play!
WALK YOUR TALK
Every girl needs a pair of flats - invest in a pair that are cute, comfortable and can easily fit in your bag. Forget the car, hop skip and hump your way through the day.
Be a story teller and celebrate the stories behind your clothing. Wear fashion with sole!
