When You Don't Know What To Wear

Have you stood before your closet and didn't know what to wear? Well, I do it all the time. So how do you go about picking out an outfit? Here are my thoughts on it.

1. Start with one piece of clothing that you want to wear FOR SURE. Something you either really like, feel comfortable in or just want to show off.
2. Pick 3 coordinating pieces of clothing you could wear it with and put them close to each other, while looking in the mirror. (This step may take several minutes, or hours). See which of them will look better on you and go with the occasion you are dressing for. Try it on!
3. Once you picked out the two main articles, start layering and accessorizing. Add a cardigan,  blazer, a scarf, necklace, bracelet, a pin, or a hat and a bag.
4. Last but not least, finish with shoes. They complete the outfit and make it look more polished and put together. (Sometime I reverse the process and start with a pair of shoes I want to show off)


Couple other thought:

- During the summer months, have at least one bright statement article on, be that necklace or shoes. It will make your outfit!
- Try to stay away from clashing too many things and have just one or two accent pieces. 
- If the main focus of your outfit is the new dress then tone down the accessories. But if you want to show of your new diamond necklace, LBD with hair up is the way to go.
- Be comfortable in everything you wear! Let it be your personal style, not just a copy of another mannequin .
