So, I asked myself, how can I work with what I already have in my closet? I started viewing entertainment magazines, following redcarpet events, fashion shows, and reality shows to get a sense of what people are wearing. Then, I realized it's not so much about a particular piece.... it's all about the whole picture......accessorizing, mixing and matching, adding colors, and how you carry yourself.
Certainly throwing a scarf around the neck, wearing a pearl necklace, or a belt around the waist takes a look to the next level....definitely not all on one outfit... lol. I know, you know better :-)
When watching celebs, one has to realize that some of their looks are meant for the stage and entertainment....they may not work well on regular basis...
Singer - Rihanna --- Definitely not your everyday look!
In essence, the more you practice, read fashion magazines, or fashion pages of entertainment magazines, the more your sense of fashion is going to evolve....before you know it... you'll be cat-walking!!!
