We know, we know, we ourselves have encountered this situation more than once: suddenly you are invited to a party with a friend, a date or just an evening event, and suddenly you realize with horror that nothing – in the sense of nothing at all – fits. The everyday wardrobe is stylish, but not smart enough, and the dress in which you celebrated the New Year two years ago is tight or received an age-related “trophy” in the form of a stain of unknown origin. In general, the situation at the “sos” level – what to do?
The first and financially expensive option is to buy a mini-capsule of a new dress/evening overall, shoes and clutch. The second and most rational option is to carefully look through your entire wardrobe, put together basic and accent clothes separately and find out what you are missing from your current weekend look. Grab the tips below!
The easiest way to quickly make an outfit festive is to add sequins. The purpose of the look will depend on their number: the overall look in “scales” is a party, one striking detail is a date or just a special evening. The most amazing thing is that a sequined skirt goes well with a simple white shirt and matching pumps and you don’t need to find other complicated accessories to make the outfit play.
If you have to look for something on the distant shelves of old clothes, slip dresses are it. If you suddenly abandoned this universal model, be sure to put it back on the hanger! A midi-length dress can be worn with a jacket for the theater, with a sophisticated jacket or shirt for a date, with a sweater for a walk. If, as a result, the combination was not at hand, it is worth spending money: in the budget segment you can find cute and spectacular models that will bring benefits like the most praised luxury.
In Western glamor there is a term like “statement piece” – accent things. It can be sandals with huge bows that you were afraid to put on, they say there is nowhere. Or a shirt with feather sleeves or an elaborate layered skirt – anything you can’t tame. Now is the time to do it: just pick the simplest possible base pairs. For example, wear a fluffy skirt with a neutral tone-on-tone turtleneck, feathers with milky straight pants, a satin midi skirt, the same flowing combination.
And massive jewelry, which you could not find a place in the everyday look, contributes to the restrained monochrome. Schiaparelli often uses this trick: an all-black understated look with massive gilded bracelets of an irregular shape looks very effective. It would look like you didn’t buy half the store, but you look like you stepped off the catwalk!
