Style tip: Focus your wardrobe palette!
Closet dysfunction 101 is a lack of focus, and having too many colors in your closet is one way to make it hard on yourself to get dressed in the morning. The turquoise blouse that looked to pretty on the rack doesn’t match anything else in your wardrobe. This leads us to go with the five or six standby looks that are already matched and complain we don’t have anything to wear. I assure you, that is not the case. I have never seen an empty closet.
The first thing you can do to is simply pick one face brightening color that draws you in (and hopefully looks great with your coloring!) Bonus points if it is a hot color that season, so you will be able to find it in abundance when you shop, like a deep plum.
Next pick two neutrals that complement your new “signature” color, like black and gray. Now, mix it up! For work, choose a gray cardigan, purple blouse, and white pencil skirt. For fun, black Capri pants and a purple wrap sweater with three quarter length sleeves.
How do keep this look fresh? Accessorize! And once you have a good “base,” mix in other colors, like magenta, that will work with both your signature color and your neutrals.
The irony is that by limiting your choices, you will have more freedom to experiment, not to mention time. Welcome to focused, sstress-free dressing!
