How to choose the perfect outfit!

Well, Some of you may be wondering, "With all these clothes, how does she EVER figure out what to wear in the mornings?" or "If I had that many clothes I would have 4 different outfits a day!"
No, No, No my dear readers, none of the above are true. Yes I agree, I do have many clothes and many pairs of shoes, a quite excessive amount actually.
The following is an outline of the complete run around of how to put an outfit together.





Step 1) Start with the one piece you absolutely HAVE to wear. That shirt you bought the other day at that thrift store? YUP. Thats the one. In my case this item is my new red rose chiffon blouse! Thrifted from Salvation Army - $4 **remember you always want to have a focus point. 
Step 2) Now what shall I wear for my bottoms? Something plain Im thinking, so they will not take away any attention the beautiful blouse is getting. I pair the blouse with some black opaque tights. 
BUT… I’m in the mood to have a little more fun and not be so girly, So?
Step 3) Add a thin, warm leather belt to the mix, nothing with any pattern because that would clash with the blouse. Tie it in a cute little knot. 
BUT…
Step 4) I don't want this outfit to be completely bursting with femininity, so Ive paired the floral blouse with some awesome chunky combat boots. Time to spice it up. Now the outfit is more balanced, Check it! Balance is KEY
Step 5) Keeping accessories bare minimal (only my bracelets & studs) because I’ve got a lot going on. Dont want to take away from my belt & boots! 
Step 6) Jacket...Hmm. Something in between flirty girly and combat man. Beige Cargo Jacket with a fur hood. Perfecto! See how that all ties together nicely.
Step 7) Hair? Well, it is dirty. Besides down would be too heavy with the blouse&belt, so up it goes with no rhyme or reason.


Hope this helped, Enjoy!
