I've seen lots of bright bold colors There's a beautiful green that I've seen And I'm still on the Kelly Green train Gorgeous just vibrant purples there are Some Bejeweled bedazzled sweaters and There's just some really interesting Sweaters and knitwear in general that You can as I said add to a very very Simple outfit and just give that sort of Final finishing piece which is a little Bit of a wow factor I think if there's a Time of year that you need your clothing To just inject a bit of life and fun and Vibrancy it's now it's when the weather Starts cooling off and getting gray and Miserable outside now next up I am Encouraging you to release yourself and What I mean by this is release yourself From the constraints that you may have On yourself when it comes to Fashion we All have constraints whether it be size Constraints or age or what someone has Told us that we should or shouldn't wear Or what colors we think suit us and what Tends to happen is those constraints Really stop us from exploring new and Fresh and enjoying new looks it's so Easy to get trapped in a particular Style and also let's face it most of us Are busy we have busy lives it's kind of Hard to spend the time to reinvest in How we look and to rethink our personal Style but I encourage you to try this Even if it's just for a little bit
Because it is freeing and it gives you The opportunity to use clothes to be or Present to the world in a way that you Would like to present without any Constraints I recently listened to a Interview with Iris apfel the beautiful Advanced Style Style icon and she talked About the importance of experimenting With fashion and even she who has such a Bold vibrant out there look says she Still experiments and she even said it's Not always easy and it is painful at Times but it really pays off and I think Think that's part of the message that I'm trying to get across here that Sometimes we need to just be given Permission to break out of the box that We have found ourselves in when it comes To our own style so I encourage you to Have a little look online look at some Of your favorite stores check out Pinterest look for some inspiration and Try and put aside all of those Restraints and restrictions that you Perhaps have in your mind look at Fashion and fashion pieces clearly Without that look at something that you Perhaps love but for whatever reason Wouldn't wear or haven't thought that You should wear and maybe do yourself a Favor and invest in that piece what I do Think is really important though is that When you're looking at stepping outside Of your fashion comfort zone you still
Have to try and think about two or three Four outfits that you can create with Pieces that you already own with that New piece I don't want you to go off and Go crazy and buy a whole lot of RAM Random pieces that you're still not Going to be able to create outfits with But I do encourage you to release Yourself from constraints and just pick A piece this season that speaks to you And makes you feel happy now one of the Absolute easiest ways to freshen up your Looks and create a little bit more Excitement in your outfits is by using Accessories and the reason I love Accessories is that they are affordable And a very easy way just to add an extra Bit of oomph to clothes that you already Own there are some great accessories Around this season and just simple Things whether it's some jewelry that You wear maybe chunky Hoops because they Are everywhere at the moment they're not Expensive either or whether it's a Bright beanie or even a new scarf like a Beautiful new scarf is going to keep you Warm but it's also going to really give Any outfit a a new lease on life when it Comes to eyewear really bold some Glasses are trending this season and Again I love the practicality of this And you are definitely going to make a Statement when you wear some of the cool Shades that are on offer at the moment
And even things like adding a crossbody Bag to your repertoire for me crossbody Bags not only add a little bit of a Shape to my outfit and create just a Little bit more of an interesting Silhouette they're obviously practical They allow you to be hands-free but They're almost like the icing on the Cake of an outfit I actually feel naked These days if I'm not wearing a Crossbody bag so think about accessories As a really simple easy and cost Effective way to update your outfit okay Maybe sweater season but you can never Underestimate the versatility of a great Jacket so have a look at the jackets That you have obviously a jacket is that Final piece that you add before you walk Outside it is a piece that's going to Keep you warm and there are some amazing Jackets on offer this season I am Particularly loving those motorbike Motor sort of style jackets Karen Brit Check has just recently thrifted one Which I'm sure you guys have seen Because I know that you watch all of her Videos just like me the great thing About a jacket is regardless of what You're wearing underneath it a jacket Will just finish an outfit and set the Tone for that outfit and when it comes To jackets there really is something for Everyone so whether it's a puffer jacket There are some gorgeous bright puffer
