For days when you just don’t want to be slapping on a ton of eye makeup, keep a pair of fierce sunglasses within reach. They’ll hide your tired eyes, shield them from the harmful UV rays and help you look like a lady boss.
The track suit is making a comeback in a big way, but to avoid looking like an extra off a ’90s rap music video, team it with classy earrings and a fuss-free hairdo.

Rather than default to the usual gold or silver dress, you can make metallics interesting again by opting for an unexpected colour. Here, the dusty rose shade works beautifully against Wendy’s skin tone.
Wearing a monochromatic outfit is all about playing with the shades and textures within the outfit. Here, Wendy wears her pink beautifully because she chooses two complimentary pink colours, and allows the lace fabric to hero the look.
Also, bonus points for her matching look with her friends!
While in the UK, Wendy and her husband took some time out to enjoy some couple time. While walking around a local market, she’s sporting a lush jacket made from wine-coloured velvet fabric.
