The Five Components of a Look...

I think there are five components when it comes to putting together a look. 

 

1.  Shoes (Is it a surprise that I would put this one first?)

2.  Garments

3.  Accessories 

4.  Make-Up

5.  Hair

Then there are what I call 3 "Layovers"

1.  Clean face, no make-up

2.  Day old hair

3.  The track suit/yoga wear

My rule is to never have more than one layover in your look.  Say you are feeling like phoning it in with your track suit, you cannot neglect the other 4 components.  Put your face on, wear a cute pair of DJ Boots, style your hair and wear accessories.  Add a great scarf.  You will be chic on no time.  

That's it! That's my formula.  It's as easy as it seems.

SHOPPING CORNER

I phoned my hair in today.  A day old ponytail was what I had to work with.  I'm just being honest here.  You cannot be hundreds every day.  

Because of the snow I opted for motorcycle boots (Steve Madden).  I tucked a pair of skinny jeans down into my boots.  I wore a white wife beater tank top under a long white sheer blouse with black shoulders.  I would have looked like an actress from West Side Story if it weren't for my black fur.  I need it for warmth people!  Finishing my look was a red and black Hermes scarf.  I love the H's all over it!

THE WEATHER REPORT

I am OVER IT!  My friend Tracy H. said "Holly, I am so tired of wearing my coat...IN THE HOUSE!"  I can sympathize  sister.

JEWELRY DARLING

I didn't wear a necklace today.  My Hermes scarf was snug around my neck all day.  Earrings were white gold oblong infinity diamond hoops (a gift from my parents), MFIL charm bracelet.
