A Little Edge



It's important to have a bit of contrast in your wardrobe. Otherwise, some outfits can start to look costume-y or may feel contrived. Think about balancing out an overly feminine or too strong ensemble with contrasting accessories or garments.

For example, I tend to love skirts, dresses, and prints. However, sometimes when I am getting dressed, I start to feel prissy. This is where accessories can make a huge difference. Adding a chunky bracelet or necklace can add a nice edge to the outfit. So can a bold shoe (see above).

On the other hand, an outfit that starts to feel too masculine or harsh can be balanced out by a touch of lace, some feminine jewelry, delicate shoes, or a floral detail.
