Tread carefully on the path of following trends. Not all trends are for all body types, and some of them are not even worth trying. Take it from someone who has been around enough bloggers to know that those looks ONLY work in pictures. Nonetheless, do experiment! That is the only way you will figure out your style and your signature look (if you don't already have). One of the current trends which I am personally loving is pajamas as daywear. Get yourself a pair of soft cotton, or light silk set which you can wear outside without getting conscious.

6. COMFORTABLE HEELS OR FLATS

ORIGINAL POST |
Last but not the least, footwear. Nothing makes you look and feel more uncomfortable than an ill-fitting shoe. If you take away just one tip from this post, then let it be this. Never purchase a shoe without trying. If you buy them online make sure 'return shipping' is offered and is free. Walk around in the pair for at least two minutes (especially heels) and if they are not comfortable then, they are not about to get comfortable later. I often choose block heels over pencil as they often more grip and platform. The few pencil heels I do own are exclusively for days when I will be driven door to door with minimal walking.
The older I get the simpler I want my life to be, but not at the cost of my style and personal appearance. I hope you find these tips helpful. This has been my shopping/dressing mantra for past few years.

I always buy quality over quantity! I'll always pay more for something that will last!
ReplyDeleteLove that white dress! I shop everywhere but stick to some rules in order to buy quality stuff: going for neutral colours, opting for natural fabrics and staying away from craziness like terribly applied sequins, large lettering, etc. I'll almost always pay more for quality.
ReplyDeleteI have only recently learned to dress according to what looks best, instead of what's on sale or trendy. I wasted so much time and money on clothes that did not look or make me feel my best!
ReplyDeletei have a thing for black,white, beige, and grey. that sums up my closet for the most part :P i love love love that blue dress!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat tips! I relate to the quality thing. I used to focus on quantity instead of quality, and I ended up with exactly what you might think - a closet full of cheap looking clothes that didn't fit me correctly. Spending a little bit more on higher quality is definitely worth it!
ReplyDeleteAll great tips!! Esp. the buying clothes that fit. It's amazing how much more confident you feel when you like what you wear.
ReplyDeletethis is my goal in life lol... I love having a signature color, embrace it! I do need to have a little more self-control when it comes to trends though.. lol
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness so true about trying shoes on first and not just buying them online because they "look cute". Also free return shipping is a must and amazing!
ReplyDeleteThese outfits are GORGEOUS! I am all about comfort too when dressing!
ReplyDeleteLove that last maxi dress! So cute! xo
ReplyDeleteIt is so important to have comfy pieces that are also stylish! Love these tips
