FASHION FRIENDLY WARDROBE TIPS, TRICKS, AND TIDBITS

‘Tis The Season to Boot Up – Get into boot-legging, pairing any type of boots (e.g., ankle/combat) with leggings and jeggings.
Invest in Vest and Chilly Weather Outerwear – When the cold weather comes a-calling, layer it up. Mix ‘n match with some staple wardrobe pieces like a cashmere sweater, flannel, wrap, leather jacket, or puffer coat. Stay warm and be fashionable.
Don’t Part with Summer Staples – No need to part with all your summer wardrobe. Be creative and innovative in the art of layering. Pair camis with cardigans and crop tops with long sleeve shirts.
Play With Different Elements – Who says you can’t pair combat boots or a bomber jacket with feminine florals? Try a combination of masculine and feminine pieces that speak to you. Fashion is not one-size-fits-all. Just be yourself, think outside the box sometimes, and have fun with it.
Adjust as Desired – Bored with your regular tee shirt? Grab those scissors and crop it as desired to make it more flattering. You can even cut some fringe and make ties. Tired with the same ol’ pants and long sleeve shirts or button-downs. Simply cuff the bottoms or sleeves.
Accessible Accessories – A simple scarf is a versatile tool to complete your look or take it to a whole ‘nother level. Wear it around your neck, waist, or as a top. Want to add some interest around those eyes? Try some fashion eyewear, whether glasses or shades. And find the right belt for your look.
