The Secret To Being Well Dressed + Put Together
We all know them…. Our neighbor, our co-worker, our in-law. They always seem to be so well dressed and put together every time we see them. So, what’s their secret?
I’ll tell you…
The secret to being well dressed and put together is dressing for
your shape
your style
your life
99.9% of the time when we see someone and think to ourselves, “Wow, they are really well dressed!” It’s not because they are wearing the latest trend, hottest new fashion, or runway style. It’s because they are wearing clothes that fit them, that authentically reflect their style, and are appropriate for the event or occasion they are at.
Let’s break it down.
Dressing For Your Shape
Step one in dressing for your shape is to identify your shape. Are you apple, straight, hourglass, bottom curvy, or top curvy. Identifying your shape and seeing where you do and don’t carry curves is import. It’s important because I don’t want you wearing clothes that try to cover or camouflage your shape. I want you wearing clothes that compliment it.
The next step is then visualizing your shape in the clothes that you are shopping for in the store or on-line. Once you see on yourself where you are curvy and where you are not, you can start to see how certain clothes will fit or not fit those curves.

Dressing For Your Style
When you dress for your authentic style you are ensuring that you are wearing clothes that feel comfortable, and not like a costume. Your style is made up of three key components.
color
pattern + print
details
Wearing colors that compliment you means that you are wearing clothes that compliment each other. Wearing patterns that are right for your style means you will feel comfortable wearing them. Wearing details that don’t feel like a costume means that you will be confident in your look. When you shop for clothes that match your style you will wear outfits that are well dressed and put together.
Dressing For Your Life
How many times have you been left not having the clothes you want to wear when you need to wear them? In order to be well dressed for your life, you need to plan for it. This called Wardrobe Planning, which then leads you into Strategic Shopping. Spend one afternoon looking ahead at the next season of your life and planning out where you need to be, where you are going, and what you want to wear will help you have want you want to wear when you need to wear it.
When you have a plan you will stop overspending and under-buying for your wardrobe. This is when you spend a lot of time and money on clothes that yo don’t actually like or want to wear. Having a plan will help you spend less time, less money, and have more to wear!
