The Style
Shakedown
brings you the second blog in the series of Leina Broughton style tips……


Simple yet sophisticated.

Introducing the current season Josephine, the Shaped Josephine.

The Josephine has been a huge hit as it fits beautifully around the bust and then has soft subtle pleating under the bust to soften the mid section.
 

BERRY PRINT
 
DOVE








The soft dove colorway is incredibly elegant and the print is vibrant and fun for summer.












 
So what suits who…?
The print is particularly amazing on brunettes with the splash of purple fuschia against the white background. The dove works on all hair colours but in this recent parade, the gorgeous blond Bridget looked stunning in the dove. The dove is also perfect for redheads….


Shoes??

Of course the nude is a no brainer and would work perfectly with these styles but on a “research day trip” (by that I mean shopping day!!) I discovered there are also lots of beautiful soft tones outside nude that are available, delish.

With this style I would avoid going too chunky with the heel. I love the chunky strap detail but keep the heel a little more slender, I think this can add a bit more of a softer touch.

This gorgeous blush tone would look amazing with the dove. The soft grey is just a great alternative to nude and the olive, just heavenly with the print Josephine.


As this style is so fitted around the bust area I would keep accessories to a minimum. To me, really beautiful shoes and a great bag is all you need for this one. If you do decide to add jewellery remember less is more!


This dress is all about highlighting ‘you’ as the main feature, so beyond the accessories…


A subtle seductive smile and a woman who owns her own style will rock this dress J

Love Leina xx
