Style Profile// Sing of Singature Style blog

This is the lovely Sing of Singature Style blog.  I had the opportunity to meet her last Dec. while participating in the Renegade Holiday show in Chicago <3  It was great meeting her in person and yes she's just as cool in person as she appears in her blog!  Check out her interview below:

Sing - Chicago, IL

1.  How do you describe your personal style?

  Classic with a twist.

2.  Where do you find/pull inspiration from?

  Blogs of the everyday woman, celebrity fashion, and streetstyle photos.

3.  Name one fashion accessory you can't live without?

A hat, it's my signature.

4.  I never break this fashion rule........ 

Wearing statement earrings with a statement necklace.  One statement at a time for this girl.

5.  Your next must have purchase?

 Red colored jeans.

6.  Most underrated item in women's wear?

A scarf. You can do so much more with it than tie it around your neck.  I love to use them asheadwear and belts.

7.  For all the fashionistas, provide one piece of invaluable fashion advice: 

 Keep an open mind and shop everywhere.  Great finds can be had in the most unlikely of places.

Vintage Sequins top + Vintage Givenchy skirt + Robert Clergerie red wedges

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekends.  I had a great one with my hubby. We enjoyed a date night on Sat. evening and date nights are always fun <3  Unfortunately I didn't get to take a photo of my ensemble ;-(  This is what I wore yesterday:

BR white button down

Vintage sequins top - Estate sale

Vintage Givenchy skirt - Thrifty score

Vintage bangles - Thrifty score

Vintage belt - 2nd hand shop

Tights going out of business sale

Robert Clergerie red wedges - Ambiance 2nd hand boutique

BR Leather trench + Anthro t-nceck sweater + Free People leggings

I've decided to simplify my post title by just merely stating three major components in my ensemble and I think I will be moving forward with this approach (it makes life a little easier <3).  This is what I wore to checkout out some major deals at our local Saks 5th Ave. that unfortunately is going out of business, unbelievable!  I scored some deals but nothing overly amazing to brag about lol.  This is what I wore:

Anthropologie sweater

Lagelle slouchy embroidered beret

BR leather trench (old)

Gap belt (old)

Free People leggings - Gilt.com

Matisse boots

The floppy hat = A staple accessory

It seems like blogging and finding time to take photos of my ensembles is getting harder.  Last week was tough because I was not inspired, not feeling good and morning the death of Whitney Houston.  It's amazing how someone you never meet can have that much of an impact on your life.  I grew up listening to her music and her music meant a lot to me.  I'm not sure if any of you can relate to this?  Anyway I'm not too good at writing but this is my personal blog and I thought I would share. As for the title of my post, I didn't realize how much wear I would get out of this lovely floppy hat!  This is what I wore yesterday:

Floppy hat - Toronto 

Blouse - Toronto

Vintage scarf - Estate sale

Maxi skirt - Free People

Vintage cinch belt - Thrifty score

Cole Hann boots - Off Saks 5rh

Vintage bangles - Estate sales/thrifty scores

Now Trending: Wear what looks good on you!

I'm big on promoting what looks good on each person's individual body type and not forcing fashion trends that don't look good on most folks.  I think it's important to choose and wear clothes that make you feel confident.  It's always a plus to score those clothes at reasonable & affordable prices!  These days I really try to buy quality, classic and chic pieces because that works for me <3  I shop mostly at 2nd hand upscale boutiques, consignment shops, thrift stores, estate sales, ebay and Etsy etc.  I've never really been a mall shopper. **I love to help others with my services as a personal stylist to revamp their wardrobe and come up with new looks that will boost each individual's personal confidence.  Sometimes it's simple as going through your closet and eliminating pieces that don't work well and mix and matching pieces that do.  Feel free to contact me at lagelle_fashion@yahoo.com to schedule an appointment today <3  I'm wearing:

Floppy hat - Toronto, Canada

Vintage silk blouse - thrifty score

Vest - Avalon Exchange 2nd hand store

Vintage belt - 2nd hand boutique

Hanii Y leather jacket - Gilt.com

Jbrand high rise denim - Ebay
