Do you may have that record in your head?
“Shirt-dresses simply aren’t my fashion….”
“nah, yellow just isn’t my color…”
“I don’t put on my hair up…”
You’re not the one one! I’ve received a listing of issues in my very own head that I usually keep away from, as a result of they both don’t actually work on my form, they aren’t my finest colors, or they don’t match my fashion persona.
However over and over, I inform myself, and I inform my private styling shoppers…
NEVER SAY NEVER!
So these three statements above are issues I’ve informed myself up to now with regard to my fashion…. however I do like to additionally push myself out of my fashion consolation zone a bit of.
So listed here are three issues I by no means put on….
1. Shirt-dresses
my inner reasoning: my Fashion Character is female, edgy, elevated and I believe for the longest time, I’ve simply considered shirt-dresses as too preppy for me. Too structured maybe? But additionally buttons and busts are usually not at all times mates….
Enter this STUNNING gown I noticed on-line from attractive Brisbane label, RicRac Street…
However really, it ticks ALL my Fashion Character phrases! The attractive flowy cloth, and puff sleeve are super-feminine. The print feels edgy and daring and the fashion of the gown generally, notably with the boots added, feels elevated.
It was love at first sight, although, it’s on my record of ‘what I don’t put on”
2. Yellow – generally
For YEARS I’ve informed myself, as an individual who fits cooler tones higher, that I can’t put on yellow. However not too long ago, two issues have occurred;
Firstly, I’ve experimented extra with color myself, understanding that really EVERY color fits EVERY particular person, it’s nearly getting the tone and depth proper.
Secondly, the proper yellow for me has come again into style. Sure that basically helps once you’re exploring new colors to put on. For years, the yellow that was extra on-trend (and subsequently, extra out there) was the hotter, mustard yellow.
So now that the right (for me) yellow is right here, I can’t get sufficient….
I’m presently OBSESSED with these sunshine yellow pants from Heidi Frank (don’t fear, they’re coming again into inventory quickly!) and this wonderful Saben bag (previous season sorry!).
Not solely are they the right match to put on with one another, this yellow works completely with different daring colors I’m comfy carrying, like this magenta pink.
3. I by no means put on my hair up.
It is a humorous one. I not too long ago had my hair lower shorter than I requested for, and it actually threw me! I’ve at all times used my hair to essentially outline that female aspect of my private fashion, often by carrying it out and including waves, and swiftly, most of it was gone!
It took just a few weeks to regulate, I felt like a lot of my femininity had been taken away, however now, I slick it again extra that I used to, however play up the female in different methods – pink lips, floral prints, and simply go about my fashion leaning into the shorter hair. (I’m completely rising it again although haha!)
So how do you put on belongings you’ve stated you’d by no means put on?
Initially, you simply decide to by no means saying by no means! It’s such an enormous a part of my fashion mantra. I’ll by no means inform a shopper that they can’t put on one thing – in the event that they need to put on *insert merchandise corresponding to jumpsuit right here, then we’ll merely discover them a jumpsuit that works for them!
The very very first thing I work via with all my shoppers, is knowing your Fashion Foundations. These are three easy frameworks that we then base ALL our styling choices ongoing ahead.
Understanding your finest color palette, understanding your proportion and finest bits of your physique, and being clear by yourself, distinctive Fashion Character offers you readability when you’re attempting new issues, issues that you simply thought maybe, you couldn’t wear.
Understanding your Fashion Foundations means you might be extra assured, and extra direct once you’re on the lookout for issues that mirror your fashion, but additionally means you’ve received some parameters round attempting issues that could be extra outdoors your consolation zone.
So, know I need to know, what are YOU going to strive that you simply’ve stated you’d “by no means” put on? Inform me within the feedback beneath
