Hello April!!!
April starts with the funniest day of the year, April Fool’s Day, and this is when the all summer-spring comes out.
Philosopher Christopher Morley once said April is like a green traffic light and the world thinks, “Go!”.
This week was full of hullabaloo, from the famous Will Smith slap on Chris Rock, fashion statements at the Oscars and of course back to our closet.
What is your checklist?
Well, some mentioned that right now the wardrobes are always overflowing with clothes, shoes, jerseys and bags, among other items.
Sometimes these items can be so teeming and it is difficult to find what you are looking for. I once had a challenge, especially locating my happy socks.
Later found out that it is important, in fact would be nice, if everything got organized in the closet.
Rather than replacing that delicate black shirt once a year, what if you invested in a designer piece from local designers?
The good news is, you don’t have to invest in all of these staples at once.
Build up your collection of timeless fashion pieces over time, and you might never again think, “I have nothing to wear!”.
According to StyleZone, you can modify the list depending on your personal style.
No outfit will ever go out of style because fashion is always changing. Don’t be afraid to invest in quality that will last you for years because it’s worth it!
You may think it’s impossible — and pricey — to whip together a complete wardrobe full of timeless fashion pieces, but it’s easier than you might think.
A few classic designer pieces are all you need to mix and match that can become staples in your closet.
Although it may seem counter-intuitive, investing in high-quality, timeless designer pieces that will last you for years — decades even — can be worthwhile and save you hundreds of dollars in the long run.
To prevent this from happening, you need to make sure your closet is stocked with best items that you always need to use.
The little black dress
The little black dress can be worn on so many occasions; it’s a good idea to always have one in your wardrobe. A woman could get invited out for dinner and needs an outfit fast; here is where the little black dress comes in handy. Just dress it up with accessories, and you’re good to go!
T-shirts
You will probably want more than just five T-shirts in your wardrobe. However, these are the ones you should seriously consider buying.
They wll last for years and can be worn on several occasions.
A pair of Jeans
You can’t have enough denim! Whether you like ripped jeans or prefer super skinny, one pair of jeans for women is never enough. Make sure that they fit you perfectly and accentuate your assets. You should be comfortable in them, so try on several pairs before you actually buy.
Black leather Jacket
This is a must-have for all fashionistas! A black leather jacket is perfect to wear during fall and winter, and even spring can be chilly. It will go with so many outfits, and it is versatile as well. You will definitely get your money’s worth out of it if you buy a great quality one.
Black trousers
A black pair of trousers is a must-have in every woman’s closet. It goes with so many things, and it can be worn on casual occasions but also during the day when you’re going to work. The only thing that matters is that they fit you well and don’t look too tight or too loose either.
Over to the Oscars
Will Smith and Chris Rock, well let’s just lead by example. I won’t take sides as it is still controversial.
The Oscars have had a weird time since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
But after last year’s non-traditional awards show — in which celebrities had to be reminded after a year of cancelled events and quarantine selfies that the Oscars were not really a place for going casual — the Oscars were back in stride once again, with a traditional red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and the parade of haute couture that it entails.
While this year’s awards ceremony was marked by controversies over the exclusion of several categories from the live telecast, the red-carpet portion of the evening went blessedly blissfully uncurtailed.
The juxtaposition of classic tuxedos and funkier variations seemed to mirror the feel of an evening that was both riveting back to tradition and evolving.
Actresses wore sparkles and iridescent touches in a seeming embrace of the return of unabashed glamour to the Oscars.
Lily James, star of Hulu’s “Pam and Tommy,” and “King Richard” actresses Saniyya Sidney and Demi Singleton all wore pastel gowns with sparkly appliqués — youthful, delicate choices for a trio of actresses that includes two teenagers.
The silhouettes, however, varied: James’s slim ballet-slipper pink Atelier Versace featured a flowing train, while Singleton’s Miu Miu tea-length lavender dress showcased her ankles, and Sidney’s pink-and-blue strapless Armani Privé glided elegantly over the red carpet with a full skirt.
The traditional black-and-white tuxedo was alive and well at the Academy Awards, but it didn’t turn nearly as many heads this year as its more daring variant.
Presenters Josh Brolin and Jason Momoa of “Dune” wore black with black dress shirts (Momoa’s ensemble was an upcycled Henry Poole accessorised with a pocket square in the colours of Ukraine’s flag).
Wesley Snipes, presenting alongside Perez, wore a shiny burgundy Givenchy shorts-suit with matching tights underneath.
The tuxes weren’t just for men: Co-host Wanda Sykes wore an all-white Pamella Roland tux. Then Lupita Nyong’o had the celestial party dress.
Over the last few years, “Whatever Lupita Nyong’o wears” has become an evergreen spectacle to look forward to at any awards show.
This year’s Oscars was no exception, as the “Us” star shone (literally) in a three-quarter-sleeved, textured gold-and-pink Prada — replete with gold tassels shimmering in the Los Angeles sunshine as she walked.
