Last weekend, I went to a fab party dressed as Amy Winehouse. Much to my delight, the outfit was a big success!
But it got me thinking about why it worked.
The clothes themselves were actually quite simple: a fitted black dress and a flash of red. It was the details that completely changed the look: the beehive hair, thick eyeliner, temporary tattoos and layered necklaces.
Obviously, I’m not suggesting we all head out with a beehive next weekend!
But the same principle applies to what we wear every day.
Take a simple outfit. Change the jewellery, shoes, belt, bag or even the way you style your hair. Suddenly, your accessories have completely transformed the look.
The clothes are just the foundation. The details add the personality.
Next time an outfit feels a little flat, don’t change the clothes. Try changing the details first.
