My Permission
“This is not a clothing item. It is a representation of a clothing item.”
You have my permission to wear your clothes wrong.
A maxi dress is also a skirt. A skirt can also be a top. Your bandeau top can be used as a hair accessory.
The more versatile a piece is, the more you can make out of your wardrobe.
2. Dress for your lifestyle
The reason those Pinterest girls looks so effortless is because they dress for their lifestyles and respective environments.
Ex.,
Copenhagen girls have to do a lot of layering because of the weather.
French girls rock the flats and kitten heals; they can’t wear uncomfortable shoes in the subway.
​
A little bit of polarity can add character to your outfit.
Find an aesthetic you like, and adapt it to your day-to-day life.
It should cater to your taste in music, the way your bedroom looks…etc. The little things that make up your personality.
3. The Either Or Rule
Personally, I like to look balanced during the summer.
​
In terms of clothing, it translates to proportions.
If I uncover one part of my body, I’ll cover the other to keep it balanced.
In terms of makeup, I’ll focus on either the eyes or lips; it will make you look effortless.
4. Personalize Your Clothes
Everyone knows that tailoring your clothes and buying things that fit is important, but adding fun buttons, embroideries and tags add a lot of personality to your outfit.
Think Schiaparelli bracelets or brooches.
5. When in Doubt, Add Red or Sparkle
If I’m ever feeling uninspired or plain, I tend to wear basics.
It could be jeans and a white top, or a maxi skirt with a tank top.
To make the fit top, I will add sparkly bags or anything in the color red!
