Hello fabulous darling! It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, and today I’m talking (well, typing… ) all about a style rule to live by. Wear what YOU like. I follow it and it serves me well. In fact, it dawned on me when I was typing up the tips below. You see, first comes the outfits, then the tips. So that means I play dress up to figure out what I like.
So simple, right? It really is. Don’t over-think it. What people so often forget is that you don’t know until you try. So WEAR WHAT YOU LIKE! Play with your clothes and accessories. Give yourself time to experiment. You may be surprised with all the new winning combinations you come up with.
Okay, now to more pics and those tips I keep referencing. Scroll & get inspired to be your own stylist!
{ Style Tips }
1. Belt it. Feel like something is hanging too loose for your liking? Cinch it and showcase that waist with a belt. I opted for a vintage fabric belt that my boyfriend’s mom gave to me ( most of my belts are hers, my moms, or thrifted ).
2. Opt for an undo on a windy day. The natural elements had to be factored in. The light kept changing as the clouds drifted around and well, so did the position of my hair. Naturally, a topknot saved the day.
3. Don’t be afraid to mix different colors with prints ( see Beyonce for proof ). For this look I kept the color on the clothes and opted for printed accents via the belt and bag, both vintage and in neutral tones. I tried on a slew of belts before landing on the one I’m wearing, and bags too. You won’t know until you try. So try things on until you find what YOU like.
