Ever wonder how your favorite Instagram style blogger manages to keep it together all the time? Check out these ten hacks on how to look on fleek, all day er-day.
Organize your closet
Set up your clothes in a way that makes them easy to see. My closet is organized according to categories—skirts alone, dresses alone and so on. This way, I get the most use out of all my clothes and can easily mix and match. Check out my closet organizing tips here.
Save stylish looks for future reference
Instagram recently created a feature that saves photos and my phone space is forever grateful. I love saving looks I find stylish and refer to them whenever I need a little inspiration.
A.C.C.E.S.S.O.R.I.Z.E.
The right accessories can transform your look from casual to chic. I love a good pair of black or mirror sunnies, pointy heels, plus a designer fragrance and watch.
The one dress to own
If ever in doubt wear a little black dress, a cute pair of heels and a classy bag. It never goes wrong, trust me.
Trainers and sweats are for the gym
Hats off to you, if you get to work out every day, but don’t be the girl that’s forever in gym clothes. You’ve worked hard for that banging body…flaunt it.
Get creative
Great style isn’t measured by how expensive your clothes are, it’s by how creative you get with what you have. Some of my best looks have come from combinations of Asos and Zara pieces. I’ve also found a lot of great clothes from small boutiques through Instagram by simply using hashtags like #TutuSkirt.
Shop adventurously shop often
Your friend’s All White get together is coming up in a few days. You rush to the mall looking for a white dress and two things are bound to happen. Either, you’re going to find a white dress that is very expensive and buy it because you couldn’t find anything else, or you’re going to settle for a dress you don’t like because you run out of time and it was the only one available in your size.
Go shopping every now and then and see what’s new and what’s on sale. If you see something you like, buy it and save it for an appropriate day.
Shop online
First of all, you get to see everything in the comfort of your home. Online items usually have more sizes, not to mention the crazy deals. Also, make sure to sign up with your favorite stores to receive email alerts for discounts. When in doubt about the fit of an item, check the size of a similar item in your closet that’s made of the same fabric. I also find customers reviews to be really helpful.
Forget about house clothes
Don’t waste your money on clothes you never want anyone to see you wearing (unless it’s a onesie). Whether you’re going to get your car washed or are making a quick run to the grocery store, Look cute…aint no shame in the game. Leggings were created for this purpose.
Girl Grooming is a thing
I’m talking about shaped eyebrows, a good mani and pedi, clean, styled hair and some makeup every now and then. Home kits come in handy when you’re on a budget although, every now and then, spoil yourself and let a professional take charge, especially with hair.
Stay Stylish my loves.
