5 Styles Secrets That I Use Daily
Welcome back to my blog. I hope you’re all having a fantastic day so far. Today, I’m sharing 5 styles secrets that I use daily. So these style secrets are things that I incorporate into my every day when I’m getting ready when I’m putting together outfits to be more stylish chic make my life easier, and in some cases less painful. So if that sounds interesting, make sure to keep on reading and without any further ado, let’s get on into it.
Add one unexpected item into you outfit
The first one that I try to incorporate into my every single day to make sure that my every outfit is like top-notch pop in looking fabulous and that is to take one unexpected piece and pair it with your outfit. This can be a pair of shoes, a handbag, a pop of color, a print, a pattern. Anything that is contrast that juxtaposition to your outfit. That is going to really level up your outfit and truly make you look amazing and like you’ve got it going on. For example, wearing sneakers with a dress and oversized blazer with jeans, dressing it down and just having that juxtaposition of style. Just make something stand out but it also kind of ties everything together in a fun unexpected way. Go from just clothes to an outfit.
Fashion Tape
I’m sure at some point in your life you have heard the phrase you don’t know what you don’t know. And for style secret number two, this was something I did not know about for a long time. Fashion tape is my go-to hack. It is always with me. I always have a little tin in my purse for on-the-go. It is amazing. I’m sure some of you guys do know what fashion tape is and know all about it. Well I didn’t know about it for a long time and I’m super into the world of fashion and styling and putting together outfits, so if you’re like me and you did not know about fashion tape and you don’t know what the heck I’m talking about. Fashion tape is essentially just double-sided tape that you can stick onto your skin. You can stick it onto your clothes and it is removable. It’s not there forever and you can adhere it to wherever you need it to be. For example, something I always struggle with is button-ups. I were a lot of them, I love how they look they’re beautiful but I do have a bit of a larger chest and with that comes buttons opening up by themselves and things just like pop it open. When I found out about fashion tape, all of that changed I don’t have that problem anymore and it’s amazing. So basically, you just can you know peel off the sides of the tape stick it on to for example, like in between the buttons and then it just locks it in for the whole day until you remove it and it’s, it’s so great. Fashion tape will save you from so many mishaps and I highly recommend it.
Sticky Boobs
That’s style secret number three. I cannot tell you how much I love sticky boobs. These are amazing. I originally found out about sticky boobs like ten years ago back when I was in high school for a high school dance and I would only ever wear them with like fancy dresses or like strapless dresses. A couple of months ago I wanted to wear this black lacy cami that I wear all the time and I didn’t want my bra straps to show. I always had just worn like a regular bra with it and I had never even considered had the thought that I could wear my handy sticky boobs with a regular top. It had never occurred to me that I could wear these with something other than a strapless dress, so I tried it out. I wore it with that black cami. Amazing! it was game-changing. It was so much more comfortable than wearing a regular bra and as I previously mentioned, I do have a larger chest and I don’t like wearing bras but I have to because I have a larger chest. I cannot go without a bra I am NOT one of those people who can just wear a lacy bra. It doesn’t work for me. I need the support. I never even considered the possibility that sticky boobs could give me the support and exactly what I needed and then from that point I think this was like four or five months ago. I thought to do an experiment where I try wearing sticky boobs with just regular clothes, regular t-shirts, regular sweaters, daily outfits, with everything and we’ll see how it goes. Now I just love it! I have had significantly less back pain. I don’t have to deal with you know sometimes like your bra shows with some t-shirts even if you do have a t-shirt bra. I never have to deal with bra straps or underwire and it’s just it’s so much more comfortable. I just get like the regular sticky boobs from Amazon. If you have never tried them or if you’ve only tried them with strapless dresses, give them a try. I know they’re not going to be for everybody. These are my style secrets things that I do and not everything that I do is going to work for every single person but I feel like it is worth the try so try it out.
Cuffing Your Pants
Moving into style secret number four. This one is especially for my petite gals and it is all about cuffing your pants. So if you don’t like the look of cuffed hems or maybe you find that when you cuff your hems it makes you look shorter and you like that, instead of doing the regular cuff where you cuff outward, try cuffing inward. This is one of my go-to styling hacks because I’m short. I’m 5-1 and pants are always long unless I get them from the petite section, or I get like a short fit or an ankle cut, but if I just get a regular pair of pants. They’re always too long and sometimes. I have this weird fear of like cropping and cutting things because what if I like regret it so when I don’t want to crop things and I don’t want to do a regular cuff. I don’t want to have that casual look and I want the crisp look of pants. I do a double cuff inward to make my pants look shorter. I can maintain the vibe of my look without making it look to dress down or more casual. It’s just like a super simple, easy DIY fix to have some shorter pants.
Try It On My Outfits Beforehand
And my final style secret that I do every single day is before I wear an outfit and I try it on. Now I know this sounds super basic. Every time before I like to have an outfit that I wear out I always make sure I try it on. It looks great in your mind and then you put it on you and go out into the world and then you feel uncomfortable and self-conscious. You’re just not confident. So to avoid this, every time when I plan an outfit, I always make sure I try it on and look at it from all angles. I always want to make sure I feel comfortable and confident wearing it. That is the most important thing when it comes to style. Sometimes while wearing I’ll have ideas for outfits, I’ll write them down or sometimes I’ll take pictures of like the top and bottom and shoes together. I’ll always try it on to make sure it’s something that I like and that flatters me. So then when I don’t have any ideas for outfits, I’ll just go into my little outfit inspiration photos or outfit ideas that I’ve written down and then I have like a well of ideas to pull from. I can then just like pick one of those I know it’s good and I’m ready to go
