There are days where I don’t have the energy or time to fuss about with my outfits. I know I could choose my outfit the night before (and if I have an event, I will do this) or I could plan my outfits for the week (I only do this when I pack to go away). But I’m not always that organised and will leave it till after I’ve showered to work out what I’m going to wear for the day.
On winter days where I’m more interested in keeping warm, these are the things I reach for these outfits. I know they work together and I think it’s important to have one or two outfits you can grab to put on, knowing they work together.
What I reach for when I’m not fussed about what I wear
I’m going to share with you two outfits I reach for and why they work every time.
1. Stripes.
Whether it’s jeans and a long sleeve stripe top or a striped tee dress, stripes never let me down. A pattern and basic or block colour always works together. This type of outfit can be easily layered with a cardigan, vest or leather jacket over the top.
2. Miracle Dress and Scarf.
My miracle dresses have taken away the overwhelm of working out what to wear when heading out for dinner or somewhere that requires dressier attire. Add a scarf and leather jacket, layered with leggings, and you’re good to go.
I would say these pieces are my favourite clothes to wear in my wardrobe. I suggest having a few winter outfits ready for when you’re not fussed about what you wear. I like to try and make new outfits each day with the clothes I own, but I have moments where I’m uninspired or I have a lot on my plate and choosing what to wear is not something I want to add to it.
To create your own outfits, select pieces you love to wear and can be layered for when the weather turns cool.
Have a collection of scarves that can add more interest to these outfits. A scarf can change an outfit instantaneously.
I’ve put together two outfits, using pieces I would use to create the above outfits. These piecea are available online should you wish to imitate my outfits.
