If I told you that there was a trick to make every outfit more flattering, would you want to know what it was?

Of course, you would.

If I told you it was a belt, which it is, you’d want to know which belt to wear for your body type…

… and this is actually a loaded question.

Which I answer in today’s video.

Have you ever done a wardrobe analysis? A really one like counted the number of that ONE item you love and have a ton of? like blue shirts or something…. Well I’ll give you a few tips on how to have a balanced wardrobe and I’ll share with you the one belt I’m wearing on repeat these days.

To say metallic is having a moment is an understatement. You could go so far as to say that when it comes to summer, metallic is a staple in every modern lady’s wardrobe much like leopard-print and python. 

How many times have you put on a top and bottom that you love and think it will make a fabulous outfit only to find yourself feeling frumpy?

Good news, it’s not you. It’s the clothes.

The colors, patterns and everything match, but what’s off is the proportion of the outfit.

Your top might be too long, or pants too short. What you’re unconsciously doing is breaking the Rule of Thirds.

Here’s an example of an unbalanced outfit vs balanced following Rule of Thirds.

If you have a short waist like me, then I’m sure you’ve had days when you feel like no tops ever fit, right?

And belts, well you’ve been told to stay away because you have to lengthen your torso instead of “break” it. And yes, you have to consider what you wear to length but a belt will actually create a waist vs take away from it and its more about what tops and raise of bottoms that will make the biggest difference.

But first let me show you and easy way to measure if you’re short waisted, long waisted or have a balanced waist. This is an approximation since we’re not using a tape measurer.

I don’t know about you, but neutrals remain the backbone of my closet. When I have my “what should I wear” syndrome and want to give outfits personally before I head out the door, I’m finding new ways to wear staple pieces.
