128: Colour and Style Q&A: Elegant chic, Hips, and Fabrics

I like Elegant Chic as polished and poised suits me – but I have a casual lifestyle – how can I work with my Opulent palette and have ease in my clothes but capture some elegant chic style on a budgetI have small shoulders and big hips and find that my tops never fit around my hips – what to do?
I love my clothes to be wash and wear but I hate polyester as it doesn’t breathe – what are my choices for fabrics to look for?
