Do things your way and give a new lease of life to your wardrobe this year

: There's something of the Parisienne in all women, she just needs a helping hand to get out! The Continental look is within your grasp if you adopt a couple of easy pointers on dresses. First of all, max out on the striped look. At the present moment black stripes dominate, with a mix of both slim and wider stripes often being coupled with heavy belts. Getting the French look naturally covers feet fashion too. In women's shoes, the focus is on confident lines and shades, which includes mixes of clashing colours. The same goes for the world of women's boots, where vibrant shades are the flavour of the month.
