Three ways to dress

As I see it there are in general about three ways to dress yourself. Not everyone is interested in fashion but everyone wears clothes everyday, hopefully. So dressing yourself is either a joy every morning or a pain. I can admit, it’s a pain for me too sometimes.

Anything goes
We’ve all fallen in to this category sometimes. First we have the whole group of people who simply aren’t interested. No offence to anyone, being interested in clothing is just like being interested in music and sports, it might not just be your thing..and that’s ok! But even I fall in to this category sometimes. I wake up, don´t really have any plans for the day and around 2 pm I have to drag myself out of the house to pick up some groceries. I throw on whatever is lying out, pull my hair up in the usual sloppy knot and head out. We’ve all done it, and it feels SO good! You can’t feel creative every day, and that’s ok, right?

The clothes do the trick
You might already have it or you may still be looking for it. That perfect little dress that just lights up the room, that t-shirt that’s just like you want it or the shoes that make everyone forget the rest of your outfit. Sometimes the clothes are so perfect just as they are that they don’t need anything else. Every outfit doesn’t have to be put together, sometimes it just…works. It’s nice to sometimes have something that you can put on and you know that you’re done, it doesn’t need an extra touch, easy as that!

The outfit does the trick
And then we have the rest of our closet. The piles of tops, skirts, jeans, cardigans and sweaters that are nice but not much more. They don´t really do anything special alone. That’s where the creativity has to take place. Mix and match, layer on layer, accessories, add a little here and there. That’s when the fun begins. But it’s not easy, what’s too much and what looks just right? There’s a thin line between looking well put together and over styled. It takes practice. A tip is not too many different accessories. Got the earrings and bracelet? Skip the necklace. Another one is keep it simple. Does your top make everyone stop in their tracks? Jeans and simple shoes should just about do it then. But I’m not here to lecture, you´re free to explore and trust me, some people are great at overdoing it!
