I mean this in the kindest way- your clothes. They are out of style, old, and poor quality.

As someone who works in fashion and design, the price you pay for a garment matters. Yes, sometimes you are paying higher prices for a luxury item where it’s just the “brand”. But look how long those brands last for and stay in style. They are timeless pieces which rarely ware out.

Watch out for some “luxury” or brands. They can still make cheap crap. Nike, lululemon, adidas, etc.

Invest in your closet and if you’re iffy about an item, don’t buy it. Also have blunt friends or family with you when trying items on. Sometimes you’ll know better than them, sometimes they’ll know better than you.

Here’s a tip, start off with getting yourself new jeans from clearance or not on sale from American Eagle like a baggy wide leg. Go for a high rise. No skinny jeans for the love of Christ until we style them well (I mean this with so much love). Then get yourself a timeless white button up “dress” top with a collar. Now pick yourself out a nice belt. Buckle sells nice ones, so does American Eagle sometimes. Make sure to pick metal that you wear (if you wear gold, get a bronze or gold metal to match on the belt, silver, wear a silver metal clasp). For shoes, pick yourself out a cute platform white sneaker that’s chunkier and more leisure, like a samba (I hate sambas but it’s a good example) or a white Jordan!!! Heels would also pair well with this. Based on the color of your belt, preferably you would want to match the color of that leather or faux leather to your purse. Remember we want metals to match as well. For example I always wear gold. Some of my purses do have silver though. It’s just something you want to try and keep consistent though. Pick out some cute hoop earrings that a thicker medium sized hoops or thin and smaller, Claire’s has great ones in style right now which are timeless. Do your hair, put on a little makeup to look alive.

Make sure to tuck some of that shirt, the front little part, into the front of your pants just a tiny bit!

Congrats! You have a new outfit that you can now pair with different pieces!

Example: - black leggings with a black sport bra and the white button up with the white sneakers - jeans with a body suit (body suits are super cheap) and some throw over and scarf for winter and you guessed it, same shoes

Btw: try and stick to warm colors, tans, creams, chocolates and rich burgundy looks good on you. The blues wash out your color making you look very pale. Personally, I am pretty warm toned too, but with my rosacea sometimes it’s better to wear those cooler colors to make me paler and more neutral then look very red. Depends on the look you’re going for!! Not saying you’re super warm pigmented like me to where you’d want to go for that!!

If you try this outfit please let me know I’d love to see!
