Perfecting the Everyday
When it comes to style perfecting the everyday is important. Having a good idea of where your every day
should start will help you to create an image for yourself that allows you to feel confident. Your style isn’t
just how you put a look together but how you present it as well. A part of that presentation starts with
knowing what to put on your body and how it should
look to begin with. Here are a few quick tips to build
from as you continue to create a style of your own.

Undergarments are Key

Wearing the proper undergarments under your clothes is
important not just because they may look pretty but because the right fit can change the appearance of an entire
ensemble. If you are wearing the right garments underneath your clothing, what’s on the exterior will be completed from the inside out. The best place to start is by
having a proper fitting completed at your local boutique or
high end department store. Once your closet has the best
possible options of undergarments that blend with your
everyday style your confidence will boost in major way.

Redress the mannequin

The looks that are put together in store windows are
often what draws you in, beckons your wallet, and
convince you to make a purchase. The problem with
window shopping and buying is that often you end up
looking like a store replica instead of an inspired version of you. Always remember when buying right off
the mannequin to redress it just a bit. Change the shoe,
the belt, the accessories, or add a statement piece.
If you must buy what’s in the window, make sure to
always give that mannequin look a touch of you.
