Drab To Fab- How to Make Any Outfit Chic

Feb. 19, 2016

Drab to Fab, you’re like “Yeah right Sara. I have 25 solid shirts and three pairs of jeans. Everything looks boring, I have nothing to wear. I’ll have to go spend a billion dollars on clothes to be stylin!”  Gues what? No Way Jose… I have 4 simple styling tricks to take your look from drab to fab! These are so easy you’re going to hit the palm of your hand on your forehead and in a Homer Simpson voice say “DOH.”

Exhibit A- Drab Outfit

Trick 1

Frontal Tuck Your Top- This breaks up the front of your outfit and gives you a chic supermodel look.

Trick 2

Sleeve Roll-  It gives a little pizazz and visual interest to the top half of your outfit.

Trick 3

Accessorize-  Jewelry: I love a classic diamond stud. They have been in style since the beginning of time. I wear these almost everyday.  Bracelet stacks: I use my watch as the anchor and then I usually wear the same 3-5 bracelets everyday. These are my favorites- David Yurman Birthstone Bracelet, David Yurman Classic Cable, Knox Thomas Roman Numeral Birthday Bracelet, Stella and Dot Spike Bracelet. Bag: Any bag that compliments your outfit.  Sunglasses: Statement pair, aviator, wayfarer, whatever suits your mood or outfit!

Trick 4

Roll Pant Leg Hem– Roll the bottom of your pants an inch, scrunch the roll to make it look funky or give them a double roll. This shows a little ankle and adds je ne sais quoi to your look.

    Good tips! Love the bracelets. I wear pretty plain clothes, but love adding a little pizzazz with jewelry.

    Love the tips you mentioned! I feel like cuffing the bottoms of skinny jeans completely transforms your look and outfit! I always do this when I’m wearing chunky heels or wedges. Such a great list of easy tricks to create a chic look! Commenting from The Blogger Life from blissfullybrunette.com
