I loathe when I wake up and put on an outfit and it just feels dull or not finished or like there is something missing. Some days I have to completely start from scratch. Which results in me spending what feels like hours buried in skirts and tops in a desperate attempt to find the perfect ensemble for the day ahead. This usually leads to me giving up. I then retreat to my bed and rely on Netflix to comfort me after such a tragic failure. I know this sounds dramatic but we have all been there haven’t we? Right? Or am I enduring this mission all by my lonesome? Oh goodness.
Well, if you have experienced such hardships then you know some days are the holy grail of outfit finding! Picture this, (Fade in) You put on some of your favorite garbs, look in the mirror and you feel totally underdone (cue dramatic music). Suddenly, you look to your left and see your favorite sweater (close up) draped over your desk chair, just waiting for you. You put the sweater on and it brings your entire look to life! You walk out feeling super rad and enjoy your day (happy music, fade out). Again, dramatic, yet realistic in the life of a Fashionista or Fashionisto.
This Fashionisto is a perfect example for this STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK! We are going to be focused on his wonderful sweater which pulls together the entire outfit. The look itself is really simple. It has an almost monochromatic color scheme and not a whole lot of elements. But all that is totally okay and great! You know why? Because he looks great. His cool graphic T-shirt is the perfect complement to the long sweater. It is just a cotton T-shirt, so putting a much more dramatic fabric on top of that makes for a unique vibe. The sweater also ties together the manly black boots with the black skeleton on the shirt because it too is black. This creates a stream of hue that is super appealing to the eye. Accomplishing an outfit that is unified and put-together can be tricky, as discussed earlier. So when you feel that frustration boiling up and Netflix and defeat calling your name just follow these tips! Pair a bold necklace with a simple day dress, try a denim jacket over your favorite tank top, a belt can tighten up any loose ends you’re feeling or like our Fashionisto, try a sweater over really anything! Try anything that you think would complete your look and whatever makes you feel great. These simple ideas can really take your look to the next level of perfection! Take that bed and Netflix (kidding I’ll see you tonight).
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “You can never go wrong with a classic T-shirt.”
