The FiFi Report 345

It’s backstage at FiFi’s style session !

This is the show I have been presenting on stage this week at Westfield Burwood !

Now I can share with you all the cute backstage shots of each outfit which we snapped doing the fitting on the gorgeous model Angela. Even without hair and makeup Angela looks fabulous! (But please excuse the bad lighting and some of the fuzzy shots ) .

In each style session one item is always worn twice: so we start with slouchy grey pants then those pants are worn again in the next outfit in a different way and so on.

The idea is to build a wardrobe and make those pieces work many ways: who wears one piece just once and one way? We have to get mileage out of our wardrobe!

So if you had a million dollars and a stylist you can wear a different color every day: who cares if you ever see it again. If you are on a budget and you have to build a wardrobe it’s important to stick to the colors that go together and which look expensive such as black grey , brown, camel and cream. You can’t go wrong!

This is cheap but chic heaven…
Hint: prices and where to buy below each shot!

Let me know which ones are your favouites!
