Having your basic pieces in neutrals such as white, black, grey, beige, etc. are the perfect way to start to expand your wardrobe. Not only can you add colors, but you can add prints, mix fabric textures, and don’t forget to mix the neutrals, too! This one is a great khaki jacket, print top, and white crop pants. The blue in the print top picks up the eye color but wait…I’d add a bright orange purse, black sandals, and wood jewelry pieces! How to mix it up: 1. Wear the same tops with bright blue jeans and heels. 2. Wear the print top and white crop pants with a black sweater. 3. Look for pieces you already have: a skirt, a jean jacket, etc. You get the idea, have fun with it.

San Diego’s Outside In Organizer and Makeovers knows that every body looks great when the clothes fit properly. Stay away from trendy clothing if it doesn’t enhance your figure or build. You can always use trendier colors and accessories with classic, well-fitting pieces. Here are some sensible guides to better fitting clothing: http://fashion.about.com/cs/tipsadvice/a/figurefixers.htm
There are some basic tips for getting started that are easy to implement: TIP 1: Get rid of all clothing that is stained & torn. TIP 2: Get rid of all clothing that you have not worn in more than two (2) years. TIP 3: Get rid of clothing that does not fit you now…too tight, too loose, too short, etc.
Spend less and get more? Add the pizazz factor! Scarves and pashminas can change an outfit. You can wear them in various ways over almost any top. Don’t have time to buy new clothes? Try wearing trendy tights with zig zag or fish net lines. Wear a simple pencil skirt, classic blouse, put on those tights with heels or boots and watch that outfit pop. Accessories can change an outfit, don’t limit yourself, be creative. Wear a vintage satin evening bag with a casual outfit. Send me your ideas and questions…
Women, here are some simple ideas to update your holiday wardrobe: Add sparkle – You can find great jewelry and antique or retro pieces in consignment shops. Adding sparkle to something classic is a great way to make it pop! A large brooch on a jacket lapel will look great, but keep the earrings simple so that they’re not competing. Dress up a casual outfit – wear dark jeans with a white shirt with cuffs folded up. Add a belt with a jeweled buckle, several bangle and cuff bracelets on one arm, and heels. You’ll have that slimming, sophisticated look.
We touched on wearing a wide leg jean, pant or trouser to create a slimming effect for the right body type. Now pull out the tops in your closet and drawers and think in layers. Here’s how to start: 1. Wear a shape enhancing undergarment, if needed. 2. Try a camisole or clingy, sheer (tee or long sleeve) shirt to wear as a basic garment. 3. Layer with any of the following: a jacket, vest, or sweater. Consider leaving some of the top, or all of the buttons unbuttoned. This will create a more narrow waistline. If you are thick waisted, button under the bustline and leave the bottom buttons unbuttoned to create a flair at the hip…similar visual effect.
