MIX IT UP

Mix it up. Get the most from your clothes. Look at them differently. Wear them, don't let them wear you. 

 Today's post shows my love for trying out new things and wearing clothes differently to make them look like a totally new and individual outfit. The chosen item I have decided to show today is my beautiful pink organza polka dot smock dress from The White Pepper. The dress itself came with a pink under slip which I sometimes use and sometimes don't. Here are a few ways I have been wearing the dress lately. 

Don't be afraid to MIX IT UP, layering with different items and prints and especially, for me personally, a mix up of styles! You know how I love a bit of Fash clash?? Also another thing I must stress, fashion changes so quickly, why are you saving things for best?? Especially items you have spent alot of money on? Wear these clothes and let everybody see them, dress them down or up it doesn't matter, just wear them!! I personally never save things for best, I am a mother with a lack of babysitter which means a lack of social life. If I saved things for best they'd never get worn!! Stop this saving things for best nonsense now!

 No Debutante loves Molly Goddard, Susie Bubble,  Lazy Oaf and The White Pepper for current fashion inspiration. If you see something you like, never think I could never wear that!! Why not?? Age, size and what other people think are not an issue. It's your life, who cares what they think? I follow bloggers and fashionistas from around the world who break these moulds and look great.

Here's a quick personal story, that happened to me today, hopefully there will be a moral in there somewhere! I went to vote for my country today and I waltzed in wearing short shorts and an oversize Maui tee, denim jacket, platforms and blue hair. I saw the public workers at the Polling stations eyes bulge at me as I voted. I was glad to get a reaction from them, I was proud I had voted and of who I am. I gave them a big grin and thanked them. I take that sort of reaction to me choosing to look and dress the way I do as a positive thing. I did not feel they were judging or looking down at me, I had caught their attention and frankly their stares only encourage me to flaunt it! BE YOURSELF!......Here's me rocking a White Pepper dress...xx

Modern Vintage Meets Autumn Layering

A true No Debutante mash up of Modern vintage style for the autumn! Wrap up but don't lose your style beneath coats and layers this winter. Good luck, it is a challenge to achieve this xx

Clash Fash

I love clashing up prints and colours, so much so it seems that when I went to call this personal style post The Clash I had a quick moment of deja-vu and low and behold I had previously used this name twice in fashion clashing posts over the past three years! Yes, The No Debutante blog and persona shall soon be celebrating a third year on Blogger! Whoop! 

Let's face it, there will be a lot of personal style posts from me about Clash Fash so to keep things simple, let's always name it Clash Fash. Not to be mixed up with Fash Clash from the Urban Dictionary - When two or more people show up to the same place wearing the same clothes. 

This is not something that happens to me too often as my outfit is usually made up of new items, vintage and items from my wardrobe from the past 20 years. I'd be amazed if it did happen at all to be honest! Perhaps with a single new item? No Debutante friends, have any of you Fash Clashed with me? 

Let's get back to Clash Fash. I love it, here are today's lovely clashing outfits. Clash Fash to me doesn't just mean wearing clashing prints and colours, it's also about clashing up styles. Although I am a self confessed random item buyer who doesn't buy anything to be worn with anything else, there is still a knack to Clash Fash. You will know instantly if it hasn't worked out! Please feel free to covet any of the looks but please do not Fash Clash with me at any up and coming events....
