WITH Expert IMAGE CONSULTANT, GINGER BURR
C l e mWhen you get busy with life what O noften falls to the very bottom of oyour priority list? YOU and j e ESPECIALLY your wardrobe.! g h u o You want to feel comfortable AND look good in your clothes, but when you are pulled in a million different directions, that doesn’t always happen. It’s so easy to settle for what’s comfortable, handy and clean and anything beyond that feels overwhelming. You make a promise to yourself that someday you’ll find a wardrobe that makes your heart sing, but today just isn’t the day! Whether you are tossing on a basic t-shirt and jeans or you live in your workout clothes, the next time you shop, look for a color that makes you happy. You might even have that special color in your closet and you’ve been ignoring it. Skip the black, navy or white and instead choose a pretty shade of blush, teal or cobalt blue or whatever makes you happy. Maybe you’re excited about the current ‘Pantone Color of the Year:’ Periwinkle which, in the mid-tone range, is a universally flattering color. When you’re pulled in a million different directions, the chance of overhauling your wardrobe anytime soon is unlikely. But you can make small incremental steps in the direction of bringing beauty back! Keep these tips in mind the next time you get dressed and see what you discover about what works for you!
Here are my FOUR ways to make getting dressed each day feel more satisfying!
First, Evaluate Your Essentials! Second, Wear Your Happy Color!
Third, Let Comfort Guide You…But Don’t Stop There!
What are the basic items in your wardrobe that are daily go-to’s?
Maybe it’s your jeans, yoga pants, leggings and a simple cardigan. Whatever it is, don’t change that. Let’s find ways to make them feel more special. If it isn’t comfortable, you’re not going to wear it, right? When you have a lot going on, the last you want is to feel like you can’t wait to change your clothes!
The good news is that comfort can be found everywhere not just in t-shirts or athletic wear. A pretty cardigan, stretchy faux leather jacket, simple cotton blouse or cozy sweater in a lovely color can be your new best friend.
Last but not least, Try ONE New Thing
Commit to trying one new thing such as:
New flattering color
Comfy wide leg pants or a blouse style you haven’t tried before.
Charming accessory like a versatile necklace or a cozy scarf.
Imagine how delighted you’ll feel the next time you open your closet and find one new (or uncovered from the back of your closet!) thing that brings you joy to wear and is versatile enough to pair with your basics.
It’s a simple way to pamper yourself a bit as you meet all the demands of your busy life.
