now of course...for the more daring...i say a true mix master works with different patterns...colors...etc...but even if that is too much for you...i feel you should embrace and learn to be a good mix master...
so what do i mean by that?
i cannot tell you how many clients will say during a wardrobe purge..."i have a jacket that goes with those pants..."or..."i have shoes that go with that dress..." when you think only in terms of matching outfits...you are limiting yourself...it's no wonder you are bored with your wardrobe...
take for example the pic below...same dress...worn three different ways...who would think that you are wearing the same dress? if you want to make a wardrobe more then just a wardrobe...and want to have a "solid" wardrobe...try to get into the habit of...when purchasing an item...think of a possible two or three ways you could incorporate it into your wardrobe...
may sound stressful for some...but it can become quite a fun game...get your girlfriend that you are shopping with involved...my girlfriend & i do this all the time while shopping...what is fun is when your girlfriend thinks of an item in your closet that you forgot about...and now...a whole new outfit has come about...

Due to my lack of shopping, I've had to get quite creative in mixing and matching what I have in my closet :) It's an art form!
ReplyDeleteit truly is an art form...and can be very fun! you always wonder why those with a HUGE amount of clothes say "i have nothing to wear" yet those with very little...look like they have a new outfit every time...the key is being a great mix master!
