Are You Tired Of Not Knowing what Items To Put Together
Creating an outfit that is both interesting and effortless is much like following a recipe when cooking.
But you are lucky in that you don't have to write out a grocery list and go shopping first.
You can just use what is already in your pantry (I mean wardrobe of course).
1. Every outfit should be made up of a light item, a dark item, a coloured item and a print, that's the first guide.
2. If your neckline is higher than your face length, cut out the neckline with a face-length necklace (first picture above, top left).
3. If your neckline starts lower than your face length fill the gap with a shorter necklace (second picture above top right).
4. If you have a print or detail that starts at face length (or close enough) on your top, you don't have to do a thing, just wear it as is (above bottom picture).

Shorts and the Colours to Collect in your Wardrobe for the Warmer Weather
Building that perfect warm-weather wardrobe is all about making sure you own a variety of colours that not only work with you but also work back with each other.
This is when my light, Dark, colour and a print theory really comes into play.
The photos above show an example of light shorts, dark shorts, a colour (my eye colour) and a print pair (strawberry pinstripe). Note that every outfit has a light, a dark, a colour and a print with my hair being the dark in the first outfit (yes, you can include your hair).
When I wear my pink skin colour, I like to have a self-detail or print so that I don't appear naked from a distance (try to keep this in mind when you are buying your active wear).
The print in your outfit can be details like the edging on my off-the-shoulder tops or the extra sewn seams on my pockets and the top in my first photo.
Keeping this in mind every time you get dressed really does make it easy
And If you don't love wearing...
Its Time To Talk Street Sneakers
The science behind your style is all about the personal preference you have when wearing certain items in your wardrobe.
Each additional item you purchase should not only match your existing wardrobe but also be cohesive with you.
This is how you build the perfect wardrobe.
Let's examine the reasoning behind each of my street sneaker choices in the outfits below.
First outfit: Camel is a perfect colour pairing for black and also crisp white. I felt that my first outfit needed both a light and a print along with a dark so the multi black and white street sneakers are spot on.
Second outfit: The subtle tie dye print track suit had me wanting to carry on a subtle print into my shoes by way of my shoe laces and when I added the more formal blazer, the casual lace up street sneakers made perfect sense.
Third outfit: My chambray ruffle shirt is acting as a strong feature print and my dark denim trench is the dark so I felt that I wanted a...
Do You Suit Smooth Fabric Or Textured
I personally suit texture over smoothness, it's my natural visual presentation.
I use this knowledge to look for imperfections, indents, marle, and chiffon in fabrics that I wear and I also look for jewellery that is wooden and rustic for the same reason.
But that doesn't mean that I can't wear smooth items too.
It just means that I stand out personally against texture whereas the smooth items make me personally recede back.
So if I drop quite a bit of money on an investment necklace or earrings, I may choose to buy those as smooth or as shiny as I can so that they stand out as the main feature compared to my natural features of hair, skin, and eyes.
I also tend to wear other smooth, blingy, and bright items or fabrics with the investment piece so I look completely committed to the look (see photo above).
This way at least my bling has a friend even if it isn't a friend of mine.
As a smooth girl however, Kate (in the photo...
