Practical Body Wraps and Cover Ups

We've touched on how to  dress up your formal outfit using embellished necklaces. This time, we want to show you how to turn a long scarf, a shawl or poncho into a wonderful and sophisticated cover up. Investing in key piece shawls and scarves can save you from overspending on new clothing, most especially on pieces which you will only wear once at a formal gathering. The best part is, when you invest on the right pieces, you can wear your shawl, scarf and cover up at any other occasion ranging from casual to corporate affairs. 
Remember, you can always give new life to formal attire by changing accessories.

1. Invest in plain long scarves. They make excellent body wraps.

 

2. Choose a classic poncho that can be paired not only with your gown or formal attire, but with your overall wardrobe as well. Use a brooch to restyle your poncho. 

3. Shawls have been around for years and are used in many different cultures. Find a classic and simple design, and keep one handy in your closet. You may use a brooch or a belt to play with it.

 

4. Wearing a Kimono Bed-Jacket can be a very stylish piece when paired correctly with your get up.
