“I have nothing to wear…” Oh darling, but YOU DO! Let’s dig around in your closet and see what we can find…

 

OUTFIT FORMULA:

Black Tank + Black Pants + Layer = LENGTHENING x SLIMMING

I was a math kid so let me explain. Today’s basic outfit formula starts with a black column base look: black top + black pants. Column dressing, or wearing the same color top and bottom, creates a lengthening illusion. Although I try to stay away from black in summer (we wear so much of it in winter), I chose black for today’s outfits because it also creates a slimming effect. Hence, a black column base outfit multiplies lengthening times slimming!

Here is a video to demonstrate:

Step One:  Black Column Base

Start with a black column base: black tank + black pants.

 

Step Two:  Find Your Layering Piece

Once your get your black 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

 

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!
