Hi everyone!
I wanted to do a quick and fun post on quick effortless styling tips. If you find that you are uninspired while getting dressed for work just remember these rules to change your style with minimal effort and minimal time. I always follow these while dressing to motivate myself to get out of the door.
Add a little Brightness
Add a bright hat/bright shoes with a monochrome outfit. Be it a dress or a jumpsuit, adding one single pop of colour (rather than the usual match – shoes and bag) will make you look different. I love the hat tip because it will literally make heads turn in your direction, with the added benefit of sun protection.
Create Layers with Super Skinny Jeans
If you live in a cold climate, I am sure you layer your skirts and dresses with tights. For a change, try layering them with super skinny jeans instead. This will give a different look to your outfit while keeping you extra warm.
Go Knee High
Another alternative to tights could be thigh high/knee high boots with heels. This adds a sleek, polished look to your entire outfit and will give you instant fashionista points.
Add Some Mess
Wear your scarf untied and messy rather than in a carefully wrapped style. A quick easy way to give your whole outfit a casual vibe.
Give Your Shoulders Some Rest
Carry your smaller purses as a clutch rather than slung on shoulders for a more girly feel. This will give you a chance to use your bag in a different way and will look very interesting.
Tie The Look Together
Add a tie to your outfit! I already wrote a detailed post about incorporating men’s fashion. This will add the much needed style quotient to your look.
Cinch The Waist
Throwing on a ribbon or belt with jackets to cinch at the waist will give them a structured, defined look that is polished and more formal. This will make your jacket look like a whole new piece.
Match Made in Closet
Match your lips with any one accessory in your outfit – either bag, coat or shoes. This will make your outfit stand out, specially for bold shades like pink and red.
Roll to Rock
Rolling up your normal jeans, capris or shorts is a cute little way to experiment with different lengths without going and buying them. You can show a little extra leg and wear those pants with different types of shoes. Whole new look!
Bring Sock-sy Back
This is an unchartered fashion trend – show off your socks by matching them to an element in your outfit and stay warm as you exude fashion.
Use Scarf Like A Boss
Wear a scarf instead of a necklace! Always reaching out for a statement piece to round off your outfit? Next time reach for a scarf. They come in a variety of textures, patterns and colours to brighten up outfits.
Make A Boring Jacket Sultry
Wear a jacket as a dress. This is a daring move that will show off every curve of your body and make you feel incredibly sexy. Definitely try it sometime, but pick your days wisely. 😛
So, there you go ladies! Do comment if you can add to these and let me know if you try any. 🙂
