1. Accessorize
I’m a firm believer that any type of accessory can instantly dress up a boring outfit. Whether that accessory is a great pair of shoes, a sparkly necklace, or a bright bag, it can instantly spice up a piece that you just didn’t love as much anymore. If you’re bored with your current wardrobe, accessories can change everything!
2. Add Color
If you’re wearing a piece that feels boring, plain, or a little too ordinary, add some color with another piece. For example, if you’re wearing a simple, white, button-down, pair it with a bright pair of pants to dress up your outfit!
Frequently asked questions
3. Wear a Blazer
I think that a super easy way to dress up any outfit is with a blazer. Blazers just instantly scream “professional” or at the very least, “I put thought into this outfit.” If you want to look put-together and fashionable, a fun blazer is one of the fastest ways to do just that!
4. Re-Purpose an Old Piece
Seriously, what did people do before Pinterest? If you’re looking at something in your closet and can’t think of any use to it, search for a DIY way to repurpose the look. There are so many different ways you can repurpose outfits, especially with the help of the Internet!
5. Scour Fashion Magazines
Fashion magazines are one of the easiest ways to get fashion inspiration. They also make it really easy because the outfits are usually separated into different events. Find the event you’re going to in your magazine of choice, and you won’t have to worry about your fashion problems! Whether you’re going to a job interview or an engagement party, you’ll always have the perfect outfit inspiration!
6. Mix Prints
Do you have a crazy print that you just can’t find the perfect outfit for? Rather than let it sit in your closet, be bold! Mix your crazy print with another crazy print. As long as they’re in the same color family, people will commend you for your bold choices when it comes to fashion!
7. Layer, Layer, and then Layer Again
Have you ever noticed that when you really like someone’s style, whether it’s on TV or the movies, they probably layer a lot. Layer your tank top with a sweater and a light scarf. The more dimensions there are to your outfit, the more put-together you’ll look!
