Effortless style isn’t about having more clothes. Rather, it’s about knowing how to work with what you have in a way that feels natural, put-together, and true to you.
Here’s how I approach styling so it feels easy every day.
1. Set Yourself Up for Success.
Know your style.
My personal style is:
Modern western with a soft, chic and romantic edge.
Yours might look completely different, and that’s great. The key is to have clarity.
Build a Wardrobe that Supports It
How much of your wardrobe truly supports your style?
You can only create outfits with what you have. If your closet doesn’t reflect your style, styling your outfits will always feel harder than it has to be.
I’ve had to update my wardrobe several times to get to where it actually works for me.
Organize What You Have
Organization makes it all easier. I keep my closet organized by:
-
Season
-
Color
-
Article Type
This helps me make outfit decisions faster.
These three things are what make effortless style possible.
2. Getting Dressed (Keep it Simple)
Start with a Base
Every outfit starts with a simple foundation.
We are not trying to put together a complete outfit just yet.
Think:
-
Jeans and a T-Shirt
-
Long white dress
-
Shorts and a cami
-
Flowy skirt with a fitted top
Choose Your Vibe
Before adding anything else, ask yourself:
How do I want to feel today?
-
A little glamorous
-
Relaxed and comfortable
-
Simple and polished
-
Soft and romantic
Once you’ve decided that, everything else becomes easier and your outfit starts to come together.
Build Around that Feeling
From here, choose your:
-
Shoes
-
Accessories
-
Layers
in a way that supports your mood or occasion.
3. The Final Touch
How you carry yourself says more about you than your outfit ever will.
Know who you are and be that girl.
Things I believe about myself are:
-
I am valued so my actions will reflect my value
-
I am confident so I walk with my head held high
-
I am loved so I am fully myself (not people pleasing)
