What Is Chic Fashion & Style?
"Chic derives from the French word 'chique' which means skills and elegance - and over the past few decades it has been used to refer to a woman as smart and stylish.Chic is basically a word that describes a person who is fashionable, but it doesn't necessarily mean that they have to wear the latest and hottest looks.
It means you wear what looks good on you, and that you know how to work with what you've got and flaunt it without looking like victim of fashion (aka trying too hard). You also follow the current fashion trends but with a critical eye.

In essence, it is called having a timeless sense of style.. Which is EXACTLY what describes the concept of the thechicfashionista.com. However I also try to encourage you to take risks and follow your true style to keep your wardrobe modern, fun and exciting!
For Me Chic Fashion Is:
Timeless, classy and closet smart - Basic pieces such as a pair of black slacks, string of pearls and a white shirt are the sole foundation of chic fashion style. The way you dress your coloring, body figure and personal clothing personality show in your smart closet choices.
Feminine - It's about getting in touch with your womanly side and being playful. Flirt through the clothes you wear - put on some red lipstick if you feel sexy (or simply to feel extra sexy). Be girly with a short flouncy skirt. Play up your legs with bright colored tights or lace leggings. Cinch that waist with a belt. Check out the beautiful Parisians and Italians and you'll see what I mean!

Self-expression - You dare to bring out different aspects of your mood, personality and lifestyle in the way you dress despite what the catwalk and fashion magazines are saying is 'in' or 'out'.
Even though your style is timeless, you know how to cherry-pick the best details and clothes from the current fashion trends and make it yours. You know how to stretch your style envelope without making it look too much. But most important of all, you're constantly finding ways to express yourself and stretch your style envelope..."
