“It’s the little things that make the big things happen!”
One of the most important things and probably the most overlooked thing when putting together an outfit is the finishing touches, or details. Something as simple as the shoes you wear, the earrings or even the jacket that you wear OVER your outfit.
I have always considered an outfit to be a work of art, that’s why I think its important to tie everything together so that even when I am headed to wherever i’m going, I look put together with a matching jacket or coat. Putting together an fully cohesive can be easy if you follow these simple tips:
Don’t try too hard
Sometimes over thinking something can be the downfall of any outfit. Whatever look you are going for, whatever your style, the key here is to stay true to yourself and not to second guess what you think you should wear, or whether you should try to be too much like someone else!
Accessorize to match your personality
I am loving a lot of the bold earrings, necklaces and accessory styles around right now, but just because you like something doesn’t necessarily mean you should wear it. I have found that if I am not 100% certain that I am going to feel good about myself when I am am wearing it, then I won’t do it. It doesn’t mean you can’t work your way up to being a little bit more bold, but the key is baby steps! I love Gold, Silver and other metallic jewelry because of it’s versatility. I particularly love stacking bracelets, that way I can add some color or not depending on my mood. This amazing link bracelet that I am wearing below is one that I was lucky enough to be sent by Links of London. I remember having a charm bracelet when I was younger and the amazing thing about Links of London charm bracelets is that the charms are really easy to add and remove. They have a wide selection of charms, and right now there is 25% off the bracelet I’m wearing – click here to shop one for yourself.
Subtle details can often be the best
There is definitely a time and a place to be really bold, but there is also a time for subtlety and femininity. Finding a piece that is embellished with pearls, has lace accents, ribbon detail or even just adding a polk dot belt is a great way to show you are not bland but yet not “scream” out at the same time. Don’t get me wrong, I am a believer in letting what you wear shout out who you are, but just as in everything in life, there are times when a shout can be done much more quietly (if you know what I mean )
Finally, if you are not sure whether to be bold or subtle then think about this. Who are you? Are you someone that likes to be noticed or one that prefers to quietly be sophisticated, or are you the one that prefers to shrink into the background. My guess is that if you are reading this blog, you are probably looking for ways to express yourself. Nobody started out knowing exactly how they wanted to look, nobody ALWAYS knew who they were and were able to express that through their style. So, the key is, don’t try to be someone other than YOU and even if you are afraid to really show who you are, then that means it’s something you must do. Because even with style, the only way you can grow is by doing things you are afraid of. Try something different and expand your comfort zone
