OUTFIT FORMULA:

White Tank + White Pants + Layering Piece 

I was a math kid but let me explain.  Today’s basic outfit formula starts with a white column base look: white top + white pants.  Column dressing, or wearing the same color top and bottom, creates a lengthening illusion. I chose white for today’s post because it is the quintessential summer color – timeless and classic.  An all white look never goes out of style so you won’t look back at photographs in 30 years and wonder, “What was I *thinking* with this outfit?!

 

Step One:  White Column Base

Find a white tank and white pants to create your white “column” base.  Column dressing creates an illusion of length, making you look longer and thinner.

 

Step Two:  Find Your Layering Piece

Once your get your white column base items chosen, then start digging around for any of these items to layer over top:

  • Blazer
  • Cardigan
  • Sweater
  • Button Up Shirt
  • Poncho
  • Wrap
  • Kimono

 

Step Three:  Accessorize

After you choose your layer, then take a look around your existing wardrobe for items to potentially accessorize your look:

  • Shoes
  • Handbags
  • Necklace
  • Scarf
  • Jewelry

 

Step Four:  Play Around With ALL of These Pieces!

And then just play around with those layers and accessories…you might come up with an outfit you really love without having to buy anything new!
