How To Create An Outfit & Tres-Chic Fashion Thursday Link Up

78 Replies

Last week I needed to run to the grocery store and I was just going to put on a maxi dress and head out the door. Then it dawned on me that I could add a denim vest, my heart pendant and my cross-body bag to make my simple maxi dress into an outfit. Have you ever just walked out the door in simple jeans and t-shirt and then saw someone who added a necklace and blazer and thought wow, she sure looks put together??? That’s exactly what I was thinking as I was putting together my outfit. Why head out the door in a simple maxi when I can look and feel more put together??? It took me only a few extra minutes and I felt much better about myself.

Maxi Dress

Dress (Gap). Vest (Old Navy). Necklace (J Crew). Watch (Michael Kors). Bracelet (Stella & Dot). Purse (Fossil c/o The Bay).

The key to creating an outfit is to slowly build on it. Start with a blank canvas. In my case it was a simple maxi dress. Next step is to add a cardigan, blazer or a denim vest. The idea is to complete the look. You can also do that with a scarf, once the weather gets cooler. Next add some jewelry. A great statement necklace, bracelets, earrings, watch, hat, you name. The key is to add some subtle touches. Then add some cute shoes, in my case I decided on some sandals. I then completed my look with a cross-body bag. Again the purse can bring the entire outfit together. It may seem daunting but play around with your jewelry, with hats, scarves, purses, shoes. It’s exactly like dress up!!!!!!

The next time you’re putting together an outfit, consider adding some finishing touches like jewelry, hat, scarf, fabulous shoes or cardigan/blazer/denim vest to make an outfit out it.

      It totally is. At first I wasn’t sure about buying a denim vest, but I’ve worn it so many times. Definitely got my money’s worth.

    I am totally with you on this. Before blogging about my personal style, I was the “just head out of the door” person when running everyday errands. And maybe I overdid it “in the evening”. Now it’s balanced and I’ve learned, like you said, that it really doesn’t take long to create a look. For me it helps also that I know a lot better what is inside my wardrobe ;-)

    Great styling! I really adore how you added a denim vest to the dress. Everything you styled with the maxi dress went so well together.

    There is a big difference between the two outfits. The first one I guess is just a Maxi Dress, the 2nd is definitely an Outfit - and a great outfit, at that. I am all about creating outfits myself which I did on my post today (with my own denim vest) come take a look.

    Loved the 3 top looks you chose from last week too, especially Sarah’s. =)
