Work Wardrobe

How do some women do it? They always look amazing at work. So fashionable, yet simple, while the rest of their wardrobe looks just as amazing. Seems impossible to get that look down. You’re struggling with your own work wardrobe, let alone the rest of your wardrobe. What’s a girl to do? Here’s one thing you can do: create a work uniform. No, I’m not talking plaid skirts and white blouses. I’m talking about getting a few different outfits and accessories down together for a fashionable work wardrobe that’s easy and simple to create. Check out my helpful tips below.

Choose A Color Palette- See? I told you this wasn’t your everyday uniform. Pick out a color palette that works best with the city’s climate that you work in. For example, business folks in Miami probably wear more colorful looks to work, while New Yorkers are prone to darker styles. Two to four colors should be enough.

Find 5 Shirts For The Week- Pick out five different shirts within your color palette. Choose enough for the workweek, maybe get a sixth one just in case.

Add The Rest Of Your Look- Add some extras, like pencil skirts and slacks. I would say that 5 bottoms should be enough. Get two dresses you can easily accessorize and two jackets, plus some shoes to match. You’re work uniform is almost complete!

Shoes, Purses and Accessories- Pick up some flats and kitten heels to match your color palette. Next, get two big purses to fit any papers that need to travel. After that, pick out your favorite work appropriate accessories and you’ve got up to 30 outfits that are perfect for work and sure to amazing your coworkers!

Fashion Mistakes That Instantly Age You

Aging ourselves prematurely is not typically something we’re after. But looking youthful and vibrant without looking too young is – right? No matter what your age, your fashion choices can (and should!) elevate your sense of style, complement your features and make you feel great. And, knowing how you can look your best when it comes to fashion selections will help you easily elevate your appearance without dragging you down. While we’re all trying to look our best, sometimes bad fashion choices happen even to the savviest shopper. Anything from the wrong fit, to an ill-timed look or a color or pattern that’s just off can age you when you least expect it. Not sure how to keep it all in check? Here’s a look at fashion mistakes to avoid.

Going overboard with trend-setting pieces. We all want to be part of the latest trends, but sometimes making trendy your main goal can backfire. Don’t forget that classic and timeless pieces have a place in everyone’s closet – and, they’re known for making you look and feel your absolute best. Whether you’re investing in a signature piece for a black tie event or you’re filling your wardrobe with staples, classic lines and simple styles often work in your favor.

Keeping pieces for too long. We all get attached to things – even our clothes. They hold a dear memory from a special time in life or an unforgettable evening – but often they become out of date, worn or the fit is off as your body changes with time. Remember to rotate your closet every six months or so to purge items that haven’t been worn in recent time. Here’s a good rule of thumb: if you haven’t worn it in more than a year, it’s got to go.

Going for the wrong fit. Clothing items that are either too small or too loose can throw off your entire look. When a piece is too tight, it typically accentuates your trouble spots and conversely, when a piece is too big, it doesn’t accentuate your best features. Always strive for the perfect fit – not too tight, not too loose – you’ll feel great and look good too.

Wearing your daughter’s clothes. Even if you feel like breaking into your daughter’s closet will make you look and feel younger – it won’t. Age appropriate clothing actually complements your features and helps you present yourself in that classic and timeless way. No matter how much you’re tempted to dress too young – stop yourself and assess the situation. Be proud of your age and your beauty – and embrace it too.

Do you find yourself making fashion selections that seem to age you? Which mistake are you guilty of?

How to style KAKI

Khaki pants have a very easy and casual look to them but they’re not exactly the top choice for bottoms for a lot of fashionistas simply because they have a better rep with country club golfers and horse riders. However, with the right pieces and the right accessories, you can create a stunning street style look with a pair of these. Here are some tips and ideas on chic ways to wear khaki pants.

WEAR IT WITH A POP OF COLOR – since khaki pants are pretty neutral, a nice pop of color somewhere in your outfit would surely do it lots of good. You can choose to wear a bright colored top for a fun and chic look or do a head to toe neutral look and wear bright statement accessories instead for your pop of color.

GO UTILITARIAN – on the other hand, if you’re not in the mood for bright and bold colors today, you can always do as the New Yorkers do and create a utilitarian look. A chic parka would be nice with khaki pants in fall or winter while a gorgeous but light trench coat would pair up great with it for summer / spring.

THE CLASSIC – another look that you can do with khaki pants is the timeless classic combo of khaki and white. Choose a crisp white button up shirt to create this look and lend it a posh look and feel to it. This is a great way to wear khaki to the office without getting too casual. You can polish it even further by adding a blazer in a neutral color. If you want something more relaxed, you can go for a simple white tee instead.
