3 Styling Tips For When You Don't Know What To Wear
Happy Monday blog family! I first wanted to say thank you to all of you guys (and girls) who read my blog each week. Last month I decided I am committing to being consistent with posting on TheLuxuryChoyce every week. Keeping it updated, informative, and stocked with new photos isn’t easy, but each week seeing more and more people around the world taking the time to read it makes it worth it! OK, thanks for letting me share. Now let’s get to the good stuff…
This weekend I had a SoHo day (not shocking since that’s where I am EVERY weekend). I have to admit it was a little hard for me to figure out what to wear when I was getting ready. I decided to use these 3 tips for putting together my outfit that are great go-to’s if you find yourself in the same situation.
1. START WITH A “PILLAR PIECE”
Starting with one piece you want to highlight for the day gives a great base for putting together a look. This particular day I woke up feeling like my Louis Vuitton Soft Trunk was not getting that much love. I actually had it in the box the past two weeks, so I thought it was appropriate to bring him out. Getting dressed in the morning, especially when you are trying to put together a “LOOK,” can be overwhelming. Break down the process by choosing a pillar piece to ground the outfit and choose everything to match that.

2. KEEP IT SIMPLE
This one is something I had to learn over time. I’m the type of person who sometimes wants to wear all my favorite items at once. However, wearing them all at once could be a bit crazy. I typically try and keep colors like black, blue, white, and neutrals as the basis of the outfit, and stick to one key piece like a crossbody or sneaker. This “less is more” approach helps keep you from being even more overwhelmed when you’re already having a “What the f*** do I wear today!” day.
3. ASK!
Don’t be afraid to ask for an outside opinion. I’m supposed to be the “go-to” fashion friend and even I ask for help and opinions on my outfit. It’s always nice to have your 2-3 friends who you could shoot a quick text to and ask “what do you think about this?” A second opinion can be the difference between a winning look or something that falls flat. BEWARE: Make sure you are asking the right type of people. The friend who wears the same t-shirt and jeans every day might not offer the best option.
