How I plan my outfits…
Each Sunday for almost two yeas I’ve been planning my outfit of the work week (OOTWW) clothes, taking a photo each morning and publishing them on the blog on Fridays.
How do I pick out my clothes? Some ask me. Here is what I do. There’s two steps to this. 1-6, and then paragraph below that one. Inspiration from others.
1. Start off with your base. That could either be shoes, pants, or your top. I usually start with my pants. I don’t like to wear out my pants so I try to only wear them once.
2. If you started off like me and picked out your pants, pick out a top to go with it. It could be a blouse, a knitted sweater, or could be a tank or a tee.
3. Layer it. Either add cardigans like you see I’ve done above, or if you’re not feeling the cardi, accessorize with a scarf.
4. Time for the fun part — accessorizing! Pick out jewelry, bracelets, belts, earrings and scarves. This is the time I also pick out shoes to wear with my outfits. Have fun with it.
I usually accessorize with necklaces since they don’t get in the way of me working. I get annoyed with bracelets, and rings too — when I wash my hands. I keep my necklaces in the bathroom!
My shoe rack :) I have a question for the ladies. What do you put in the inside of your boots to keep them upright?
5. Finish your outfit with undies and a bra, socks too if need be, and you’re done!
I put all the outfits on hangers, and put them aside. Reason you can’t see the pants is that they’re underneath the tops!
Next tip is looking through magazines, blogs and photos for inspiration.
I found this image on someone’s blog (I forget who, sorry!). A ton of people have put their Polyvore outfits on their blogs. Pinterest is a good spot to find outfit ideas as well.
As you can see, I pretty much tried to copy the entire outfit.
That my friends, is how I plan my outfits!
How I Style…
This is an idea I’ve come up with by reading other fashion blogs and how they’ve styled what they’ve been wearing over the past number of months.
I’ll be featuring this each Tuesday, until I run out of ideas. So far I’ve got a ton of cardigans, and blazer. Perhaps I’ll do how I style scarves as well. But I don’t wear them often! We’ll see how everyone likes it hey?
Alright. How I style: Yellow Cardigans. Coming right up! I picked up this cardigan for $12.00 at Joe Fresh. That’s a clothing line that Canadians can get at the grocery store, or Loblaws as we know it as now. It’s really great quality, hasn’t pilled up and doesn’t wrinkle easy. Can’t say that about my Old Navy cardi’s!
You can click the image below to enlarge it. I love how tan and pale I am in the photos. It’s funny how different one person can look all throughout a span of a few months. These are in no particular order, I’ve just grabbed the images from my OOTWW posts that I put on here each Friday.
I think I like wearing my yellow cardigan with white, and grey.
How would you style this cardigan? Remember, these outfits are just the ones that I wear to work – I have worn this yellow cardigan with jeans, but I haven’t posted my weekend outfits … ever.
First day back
I apologize that this entire week I’ve been talking about Walking Pneumonia.
Today was the first day that I headed back to work — everyone was so welcoming. However, I was crazy busy since November is probably one of our busiest months. But that’s okay since I was totally bored at home and I was ready to get back at it.
Tomorrow you’ll see my OOTWW, which only consisted of one outfit this entire week since tomorrow is a holiday. But I’ve decided to capture Mondays outfit (I got dressed to head out to the Doctor) and tomorrow, a casual at home outfit.
Bye for now!
