Mix & Match

Hey ya'll!
So, I was having a fashion frenzy this morning. Honestly, it is such a conundrum nowadays when trying to coordinate an outfit that involves tying the shoes, belt and purse together. It was so overwhelming that I had to take a break and focus on something else for a bit. I decided to settle for something less stressful and picked out my eye shadow hues for the day! I have flipped through many a magazine these past couple months and I am finding that I really like the mix and match examples that I have been seeing!
The pieces no longer have to be a matching set, in fact, the more you play with color and textures the more fun the ensemble becomes. I'm not saying that matching counterparts are out, I am highlighting the fact that there are many more opportunities to try new groupings of items together. Oh! And the thin belts, the things we can do with them...
There are so many helpful hints out there. For instance, advice from "a new skinny-belt fashionista, it's best to purchase one universal belt-- preferably sold black, brown, or cream-- for wardrobe versatility. Skinny belts can be purchased almost anywhere, including Target, JCrew, Anthropologie, GAP, Nordstroms and Macys."
The thing is, you can keep the belt simple and breathe new life into a long lost closet favorite.
You know we all have those days as we shuffle through our wardrobe and sigh when we come into contact with those beloved items that are on the brink of second hand shops or even worse, Good Will!
To think how we were seduced by that one tunic or dress as we passed it by on the display. Now it has been reduced t the "back of the closet" grouping, oh the horror! I say experiment and give these once cherished items a second chance to be worn for a trend's sake. Not only is it savvy, but it a good way to keep your pocketbook capable of moving on to bigger and better things like those fabulous shoes that absolutely made you drool... Best of luck!
