today I want to talk about how to look
effortlessly chic in every outfit every
single time that you leave the house you
should feel chic but also it shouldn't
look like you tried too hard so that's
kind of what I want to touch on today
some effortlessly chic ways to dress the
first thing that I want to do is to have
a classic and simple base some outfit
examples of this might be denim on
bottom and then a knitwear piece on top
like a sweater otherwise I could do
something like a skirt with a classic
tee these are very simple basics that
I'm always going to have in my closet
they're never going to go out of style
and the key here is that they need to
look tailor-made for you they shouldn't
look too bulky or like you got it off
the rack it should actually look like it
fits you properly so even if you're not
going out and shopping for new pieces
look in your own closet and see which
pieces you could really tailor to fit
you properly next is to stick to three
colors or less with every outfit this
used to be a design trick that I used
all the time and it really led to some
really sophisticated looks and you can
do this with your own outfit the key
here is to stick with something that
could be as simple as black white and
then adding another color so that could
be something if you really like color
and you don't want to feel too limited
you could add red to that or you could
add something like a brown or a neutral
so it could be even something like black
white grey the key is to stick to three
colors and that's going to help you just
run out the door so much faster in the
day without putting too much time and
effort into creating the perfect outfit
next accessories are key here so
whenever I wear an outfit I'm always
thinking about what jewelry to wear it
comes up in virtually every single one
of my videos because it is one of those
transformation pieces something that
could take a basic outfit and elevate it
to be something else entirely the key
whenever shopping for accessories in
general it could be jewelry it could be
hats scarves bags the key here is to
find versatile pieces so that you could
wear that same purse or jewelry piece
every single day and that could be
something that is a signature piece of
your style because my jury is the
sponsor
today's video I wanted to go ahead and
show some of the pieces that they have
that I really want to highlight for
their versatility and being more on the
affordable side than say other more
luxury pieces the ones I'm wearing today
I've got a couple of bracelets on this
one is the curb bracelet and then I also
have this chain bracelet on as well so
this is the bold link chain and then
these are both gold for May which makes
them more on the affordable side for me
I always wear rings it's definitely part
of my signature style I've just got a
few on today in addition to this new
snake ring their snake ring I've had
just on my wish list for so long and it
finally came back in stock so I'm really
happy that I have that now I like to be
able to layer on necklaces the key here
is to have ones that are sort of at
different lengths one thing that I have
on today is the zodiac necklace in
addition to a couple of small chokers
that won't really have any tangling
problems the key here too is that when I
wear these chokers I do like to get them
in 14 karat gold at least because then
I'm going to be able to wear them when
I'm working out and sleeping and that
also is going to just make everything
look much more chic even if I'm just got
leggings on in a sports bra finally
anklets I am getting a couple of anklets
today for this outfit but I am looking
ahead to warmer weather and one thing
that I'm really looking forward to is
spending a lot of time outside and in
the water
so that's why I went ahead and got the
gold ones for that as well so I'll link
all of those below or you can find them
along with sizes and details and thank
you imagery for sponsoring this video
and let's move on with the next tip when
in doubt I always try to get a pointed
toe shoe so if I want an outfit that's
going to look much more elongated this
is a handy little trick and it gives
sort of an edge to every single outfit
when I'm talking about shoes that have
pointed toes it could be anything from
flats boots heels anything really and
that's going to just make me look like
my outfit is more expensive and more
chic and because like I said it along
gates you visually even if with flats it
is going to add a couple of inches
vertically and that really helps a girl
like me who's standing probably at five
foot one okay
I've talked about every sort of outfit
that I could put together but I also
want to talk about outerwear sometimes
outerwear is the first thing that I want
to put together with my outfit because
it's pouring down rain outside for
instance or maybe it's super cold and
windy so I want to have smart choices
when it comes to outerwear and when it
comes to outerwear too these pieces take
a beating they want to protect you from
all the elements and they also want to
be the one thing that they're going to
display to you out in the world on those
terrible weather days so some things to
invest early on in is outerwear like
leather jackets wool coats trenches and
even denim jackets these are examples of
how to fight the elements and still look
absolutely incredible so it is important
to invest in these pieces and find ones
that are going to last the test of time
regarding fashion so a lot of these
jackets could be things that are trendy
and that's something to be a little bit
careful of if you're just starting out
that you have those Basics in your
closet they are never going to go out of
style if you think of that classic
Parisian girl who has the perfect
wardrobe what does she have
and usually it's things like leather
jackets things that she is going to wear
every single day something that is going
to just be her jacket you know the one
when it comes to bags I like to wear a
smaller bag if possible I know that's
not always practical if you have to
carry your laptop with you or files with
you or even if you are a mom and you
have a diaper bag but what I want to
drive home here is that a small bag is
going to look much more chic sometimes
if I have to carry a laptop per se I
will carry a smaller bag inside the tote
just so I can store the tote somewhere
really safe whether it's you know my car
a locker or a desk and then I can run
out with my small clutch and just go get
coffee and then I'm not carrying around
everything with me in my day that is
such a beautiful technique especially
for petits where large bags can be so
overwhelming very quickly the final two
tips have to do with things that are not
Sara Lee outfit related the first thing
is hair I think a lot of people like to
have every little strand in place but if
you're looking for that effortlessly
chic style it almost needs to be a
little bit more on the bedhead side
there's mystery there and it's like oh
who is that you know especially if the
outfit is like just on par perfect and
then the hair might be a little tasseled
that is a beautiful sexy look and any
time that hair is like absolutely
perfect especially if my hair is six
straight I want to add just a little bit
of texturizing mousse or some hairspray
or even just some loose curls and then
comb the curls through so that they're
not so perfect that is a beautiful
effortlessly chic look and then for
makeup I could spend a lot of time on my
makeup in the morning but I think
sometimes my most favorite look is to
just the moments when I don't have a lot
of time when I have to put on just a
quick little color of lipstick and then
I also want to put on some mascara just
to perk up my eyes a little bit and
sometimes that is just such a beautiful
look especially if the outfit is very
chic so it's a contrast there it's
something where I feel naturally
beautiful and then my outfit is going to
be much more sophisticated so that's
something that I can really do to make
sure that my whole look doesn't look too
overdone those were my tips on how to
look effortlessly chic and if you liked
