Four Ways to Transform an Outfit in One Simple Step

Have you ever looked in the mirror and said "This outfit is cute, but kind of boring". I'm sure most of us will suck it up and go out in the "practical" outfit. But instead of letting yourself blend in, try to stick out! All you have to do is remember ONE of these following steps to completely transform any outfit from bland to beautiful. 

STEP ONE: The pop of color

If you notice that your outfit contains many neutrals and lacks boldness, you might want to add just one accessory or article that is bright. The great thing about the pop of color is that you can use literally ANYTHING for it : a bag, belt, skirt, shirt, earrings, shoes, pants, necklace...etc.

pop of color heels

Now try to picture the above outfits, but replace the pop of color items with neutral colored ones.  Is the outfit still as interesting?...Not even close, right? 

STEP TWO: The chunks

If you have a casual outfit that needs to be formalized, chunky (for lack of a better word) accessories are the way to go. Instead of wearing many small pieces of jewelry, wear one piece of statement jewelry that can stand on its own.

Again, imagine these looks, but with smaller more subtle accessories. Still fabulous?...hardly. 

STEP THREE: the detailed tights

Nothing  pulls a fall/winter look together than a pair of laced, patterned, or colored tights.

polka dot tights

Without the tights, these outfits are plain and simple, and do not make a statement. 

STEP FOUR: the vest

Its hard to find a female without a single vest in her closet. If you are one of those women, I highly advise you to inVEST ;). A vest turns a t shirt into a party shirt!
