Now that we are comfortably in the year 2012 we can continue making this year a great one by stepping up our FASHION game. With so many styles out there-there is no need to pick one specic look. The goal at getting a great wardrobe is by picking out a lot of pieces that can be mixed and matched. Start off by finding out the colors that you love, separate pieces that can be put together. It is imperative that the clothes always fit well and look good on You. Try finding the colors that will compliment some of the garments you currently have, mixing and matching pieces to create limitless looks is key. REMEMBER: To have a great style does not mean buying a new wardrobe, its about adding new things that spices up the old look.
Lets start by asking some specific questions to tap into your fashion i.q.: How much are you willing to spend on clothes? Cost is not as important as we all like to think. This step will help you save time by finding stores you like and making them your go-to stores. Now you have more time to look for a great outfit rather then finding a store. Another question you will need to ask yourself is: Who is my style icon? That means, what celebrity or public figure has the best style to you. This will help you to get some ideas on looks that you could find in the stores where you love to shop. This icon or icons can inspire your total look from clothes or even hairstyles. Last question: Do I already have something just like this? Before you buy anything new this is imperative to think about! This step helps you illiminate the impulse buy of something uneccesary while mentally checking your closet to prevent from buying the same style clothes over and over. Even if that item is on sale you still would have defeated the purpose of finding something that you needed to add something new to your wardrobe, so don't get Caught Up. Its common for most people to get so stuck in their everyday look that they forget to switch it up sometimes and Dare to Be Different.
No wardrobe is complete without a few statement pieces. Those are the garments or accesories that really make the outfit a complete ansemble, statement pieces will make heads turn. A statements could be made by just simply stepping out of the box and trying something new like putting together two weird colors or wearing a gaudy ring and necklace. No matter what you do, remember to stay true to yourself. There is nothing better then seeing someone rock a style that becomes their own with personal touches, they will look comfortbale and confident. So go ahead and add that neon belt, leopard scarf or cobalt purse to any outfit and watch it pop!
Dare to be different, Dare to be You!
This is a great post and such an accurate portrayal of what style is. I love that you specify that to have great style doesn't mean getting a whole new wardrobe. I think I'm one of those people who falls into that exact trap so it's always good to remind myself that that's not what i should do. Getting key pieces that you can mix and match with what you already have is definitely important.
