Hi friends! Hope you are all doing well! This week I am talking about how to take a basic outfit to the next level. You can enhance your look by changing your shoes and accessories. Let me show you how I took a very plain Jane outfit and tweaked it a little bit to slowly transform it.
Above I am wearing a basic black bodysuit and jeans. It is great to begin with a clean canvas to build upon. Each person has their own taste of style so accessories are a fabulous way to let your personality shine. I recommend having some good basics in your closet to work with.
All I did here was add a pair of suede flats and a belt and already the outfit is taking on a new look with 2 simple additions.
Adding layers to an outfit gives it more depth and interest while complimenting your body if done so correctly. For example, I love this buffalo check flannel shirt, but tying a knot at the waist helps make it look less bulky and adds definition in the right place.
Here is another instance of layering, but with a less casual spin. Blazers are not reserved for the office; in fact they polish off any outfit including jeans. I am still wearing my bodysuit, but I chose to add this blazer and a statement necklace along with my tall suede boots. This is the perfect look for a parent teacher conference or even something I would choose to wear on errands day.
Perhaps one of my favorite accessories is a good scarf. It is a great way to add a pop of color and a little extra warmth of course! This scarf is insanely good, not only because of the color but also because it is reversible! You cannot beat the price-point either!
With the holidays approaching, accessories are perfect gift ideas for friends and family! They are also excellent ways to add a little something “extra” to a more basic outfit. I am linking all outfit details from my post and I hope that I was able to offer you some inspiration today! Have a great weekend friends and thank you for stopping by the blog.
