The problem for most people when it comes to getting dressed, or so they think, is deciding what to put on. Nope. The real issue is you have no idea how to construct an outfit.
An outfit should be built. It needs good planning, the right materials, and most importantly, flawless design. There are certain aspects that can be substituted for a less a less pricey counterpart. HOWEVER, there is one aspect that should never be so; Shoes.
Step1: BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF ABOUT WHAT SIZE YOU ARE AT THIS VERY MOMENT
The biggest fashion crime being committed on the streets today is bitches being in denial about what size they actually are. Why is it so hard to understand that you look fat and sloppy when your clothes fit improperly. It also must be said that, just because it comes in your size, doesn't mean it made for you. Every body type varies from one person to the next. Just because it works for someone else, doesn't mean it's for you. " If it's tight, you should not bite!"
Step 2: Buy a Fashion Magazine
If it serves no other purpose, it will most certainly show you an example of what you prefer NOT to look like. I like to look at them to see what's new and how I can make it better. Nobody becomes an expert w/o a little studying ;-)
Step 3: Accessorize Your Outfit Initially, and Purchase Those Items First, Along w/ your Shoes.
This way, if you find something fabulous, and need to spend a little extra, you can regroup on the rest of the outfit, and possibly wear it with something you already have.
Step 4: Start Out With The Intentions Of Buying a Great Dress, Then Work From There.
This way, if you find one, great. Outfit complete. However, doesn't it always seem like you find all these other fly things when you have a specific thing in mind? Seize that opportunity to try something new. I have been my most creative when I was unable locate a great dress for an event.
Step 5: ALWAYS Plan Your OutFit Around A Jacket.
There is never a time when a jacket isn't necessary, it can always be removed, however, if worn, can act as an accessory to the outfit. It can also instantly transition your look from one event to the next for simplifying costume changes on busy days.
Step 6: Purchase and/or Wear The Appropriate Undergarments For Your Attire.
Nothing ruins a great outfit quicker than unsightly lumps and bumps underneath a beautifully made garment. It also attests to the fact that you took the extra step to ensure you look good(Very Ladylike!!).
Step 7: The Return Process
Ok ladies, it's inevitable. You have purchased all of your items and something doesn't work. I know it's a hassle, but you need to take it back. If another size doesn't rectify the fit, then another item needs to be considered in it's place. Prior to purchase, inquire with the sales rep as to what the return policy on that specific garment is, and if there are time restraints under which the item must be brought back.
Step 8: Please Yourself
At the end of the day, you need to be completely satisfied with what you see reflecting back at you in the mirror. Regardless of what Advice you are given, if you are not pleased, then the process is pointless. Aim to please you; that's all that matters...***The Queen***
