so you wanna start dressing more elevated you're stuck at a standstill you don't know where to start I GET IT it's a lot. it's overwhelming. Let me show you how to take an outfit from okay in 5 simple steps Step 1: the jacket When my wardrobe was lacking in jackets, I genuinely felt like I had nothing to wear. I got this really cool vintage piece off of Poshmark and adding a cool piece like this to an outfit completely transforms your look. We're already seeing the vision. Step 2: the shoes I feel like I'm never wearing sneakers anymore, so I normally opt for a ballet flat or a foot-flop. And I feel like this cheetah print complements the green really well. For step three, we're focusing up here. And that's the fact that I want my hair to match the vibe of my outfit. I feel like the day-to-day hair is feeling very blah. And so I want to add this claw clip for a half-up half-down. yup that's better Step 4: the jewelry I love opting for big chunky statement pieces like this. You might feel like it's really minimal, but in the end, it really adds to the outfit. I love this necklace is way more than the vibe. Last thing, I want to go for a bag that's going to complement everything in the outfit. The gold hardware ties in with my gold jewelry and the black leather goes with my flats. It's also just a very simple black bag, so it's not adding too much to what we already have going on. Before: After: I love having a few statement pieces like this in my wardrobe because adding just one of them elevates an outfit like crazy. And I will be using this formula for all of my outfits from now on.
