This goes with that.

This goes with that!

 

1.  When combining prints and patterns never mix three together unless they are of similar colour and theme and one is more dominant than the other two.
2. Ensure all items of clothing are going to the same place eg, an outfit of a dark tailored suit, sequined low cut top, heavy shoes and no makeup will look out of sync. You want your total look to speak the same language.

3.  Fabrics of like quality work well together, smooth with smooth, texture with texture.
4.  Work around your core colours, if you have a warm complexion select chocolates and taupes, if you are cool and light select greys, if you are cool and dark select mid charcoals and navy. You will find your basic colours will blend beautifully.
5.  Make sure each piece is in your most flattering colour palette and fits both your shape and your clothing personality. Don’t waste money on stuff that doesn’t fit or make you look good.
6.  Avoid trendy styles. What’s “in” this year will be “out” next year and you’ll be out of cash. Invest in quality.
7.  Solids mix more easily than prints; it will make creating clothing clusters much easier.

I know from experience that some women are really good at mixing and matching while others need a little more help. Arrange your closet for easy access by keeping all the pants together, all the jackets together, all the skirts together etc., by colour, so that you can see at a glance what you have to work with. Study fashion catalogues and window displays for ideas. Make note of how a jacket might be worn a little differently or how an accessory might be worn differently.
