*Mixing patterns is tricky so if you’re unsure how they look, try one patterned piece at a time. Too many patterns will clash and can look tacky.
*Find your color palette. Do you have a cool, warm or neutral skin tone? Colors can affect your mood and your appearance.
*Mix and match your clothes. Did you know that you can piece together 15 different outfits with 5 main pieces without looking like you’re wearing the same things over and over?
*Build a foundation for the rest of your wardrobe. Be creative when you’re shopping for new items. Will they coordinate with other items (old or new)? Are they classic or trendy?
*For a slimmer look, wear solid colors.
*Wearing conservative colors in a professional setting is the typical ‘professional uniform.’ However, you can add a splash of color and still look professional. Accent & balance are the keys! Try a brighter colored accessory or cami (under a jacket, of course) for a fun change.
Brighten up your wardrobe (even if just weekend wear); brighten up your life!
