How To Look Classy Without Overshooting Your Budget
Having a few classy clothing articles is much better than having a lot of trashy looking ones. Through a proper mix and match approach, no one should know you only got a few items in your closet. Quality over quantity is a general rule to ponder on. Never attempt to put on large designer pieces all at once, unless you wish to look like you’re garbed in blankets.
Go for classic jewelry pieces that can go well with both elegant and casual looks. Small pearl earrings, necklaces with a simple pendant, unfussy bangles, and a plain elegant wristwatch usually would suffice. When putting on accessories, discretion should be considered. If you walk and produce loud jingly sounds, it’s time to remove some items.
Spend some time at the makeup counter and ask for tones that complement your complexion. Less is more, especially when it comes to putting on makeup. Not because you lay it on thick doesn’t mean you already look glamorous. The key is to highlight your best facial features, and not paint on them to make you stand out like a sore thumb.
Generally speaking, heeled shoes look more elegant than flat ones. It’s better to buy a few pairs of pumps that are high-quality than purchasing lots of it but get worn out easily. Go for safe, neutral colors that will look great on just about any apparel. It also doesn’t hurt to have a pair of brown boot which never goes out of style.
When purchasing handbags, always consider functionality, comfort and stylishness. What’s the use of oversized tote handbags when you don’t need that much space and it makes you appear weighed down? Bags of neutral colors and elegant shapes will never go out of style. Also, try to go for ones that match the shoes you got.
Fashion magazines will give you tons of ideas if you feel lost at times. However, it doesn’t mean you should exactly copy what you see in the pages. Use them to jumpstart the kind of look you can achieve with what you got in your closet. You can make an ‘in’ look your own by adding your personality into it.
Finally, let your pleasing personality and confidence shine through. Even when you’re dressed so simply, your positive inner trait will complete the look. Stand up and walk straight to look confident. Never be afraid to give a beaming smile where appropriate. Nothing makes a woman look more elegant than having a lovely demeanor.
