New Year, New You: Fashion Resolutions for the New Year {Part Two}
After our first fashion resolution of the yearย toย Be BOLD, we are moving right along to ourย second resolution. (Quick question: Were you able to incorporate some bold pieces into your wardrobe?)
The second Fashion New Yearโs Resolution is to Be Creative. โStyle is a way to say who youย are without having to speakโ โ Rachel Zoe.
I truly believe this and why I am always looking for new ways to add some creative pieces to my outfits. Here are three ways you can add a little flair to your outfits.
ย ย ย ย 1. ย Wear a Statement Necklace: this is one of my favoriteย ways toย be creative. A great statement necklace always closes the deal on any outfit.
Try this one from Target for a simple look (jade color). Or for a cool look try this from ASOSย (black).ย Or if you’re so inclined go with this piece from Anthropologieย (gold):
ย ย ย 2. ย Add Texture to your outfits:ย texture!! I just love how a little can go a long way in jazzing up any outfit.
– For just a little bit extra, try a studded purse like these satchels from TJ Maxxย (orange, navy):
– Upgrade your footwear with some patterns like this floral Python print:
– Or add a bit of edge to your outfit with this quilted leather jacket from the Limited:
ย ย ย 3. ย Add Frills or Feathers to your outfit:ย now this may not be for everyone or could easily get out of hand, but I think a little can go a long way to add fun to an outfit.
For a little bit of emphasis, try this flirty dress from Modcloth (with a statement necklace ORย those heels above perhaps?):
For a little more fun, try this ruffled sleeve blouse from Target:
And if youโre feeling especially adventurous (for my taste) try this faux feather vest from Asos:
How are you going to BE Creative with your fashion this year?
Stay tuned for Part Threeย of our fashion resolutions!!
Love this post, Z! I’m up late reading and couldn’t resist commenting. By the way, I love that quote from Ms. Zoe. And, I’m all over #3! It’s so me. Something about black and lace makes my skirt fly up. Thanks for sharing, my friend!
Awww thanks Stacy! I am up late reading too lol! I love black lace too ๐
Haha, I’m almost feeling inspired to change out of my yoga pants! Maybe once I get a few full nights of sleep in a row, then I’ll be all ready for the leather and heels! These are so cute!
hahhah you will once things get settled!
The faux fur vest is pretty fabulous!
It is!!
you always make me want to shop! I love when I see someone wearing a statement necklace but somehow I never wear them ๐ I don’t know whyyy
I love statement necklaces!! I think they will look great on you ๐
Z, love this post!! Go bold or go home, yo! ๐ ok, I would love to be able to pull off those floral Python print heels .. . but not going to happen. . I do love the faux feather vest for you!!!
Hahhah I am glad you love it!! And yeah you can rock that vest ๐
I love your fashion tips Zainab!! Sometimes I feel like it takes too much effort to “work at it” in the winter, but this reminds me that we always feel better about ourselves when we put in a little effort! Nothing wrong with looking good! ๐
It does seem like it’s a lot over the winter but small steps and changes are possible ๐
