Multiple Outfits From Two Basic Pieces

We all get stuck with wearing the same outfit, the same way over & over again. I want to encourage you to go into your closet, pick two basic pieces and use my example to build a few different outfits from them. In this article I will take you step by step through the process.

Once you have 3 to 5 outfits created - put them together in your closet to make it easy to wear when you need them. Once you wear theses outfits, pick two new basic pieces and create 3 to 5 more outfits.

Simple Outfit

Grab two pieces that you would like to refresh. I choose these cargo pants and a basic white tank. I put on a neutral brown belt with white platform sandals. Super simple & basic.

Now look for a vest or jacket in your closet that you don’t wear that often and try it on with this basic outfit.

I chose this jean vest, I’ve had it for a few years - vests are trending right now but I never know what to wear it with.

Now that I have this outfit put together - it will make it easier to wear the vest.

Elevated Casual

Let’s continue with simple by adding a jean jacket. I don’t know about you but I love jean jackets! So, if you have multiple ones - use one that you don’t wear as often.

I chose an oversized jean jacket - a lot of times I think I need to wear oversized jackets with tighter pants or leggings - so, I wanted to see how it would look with cargo pants. Love the look!

Now change out your shoes with something more elevated. I chose these high heel mules. Shoes are the key for your look. You want to have something ready for those casual date nights, lunch dates with friends or an invitation to do something fun! Here it is.

Elevated

Let’s change the outfit by looking for a button down shirt. I used white but if you like color - grab one of those.

I chose to tuck in my shirt because it gives it a nice elevated look but be creative with your tuck.

I kept the same shoes on but this would be a fun elevated look with a pump or high heeled sandal.

Another fun outfit for those fun times that you’re going out.

Super simple but looks like you took time to create your look.

Sporty/Casual

I don’t know about you but I like to look sporty without looking frumpy.

Look for a sweater that you don’t know what to do with. Try them on, do a little front tuck and add a fun sneaker you have. Add some jewelry and you are ready to go.

Transition

I call this a transition outfit because the above looks lean towards warmer days but it’s nice to have something planned for the upcoming fall days. It doesn’t matter the season, look for a piece that transitions you into the season approaching.

I chose a dark brown high heel mule but a bootie would work great also.

These were all pieces I had in my closet - nothing new. I’m not saying that you shouldn’t buy new trendy pieces to refresh your wardrobe but I want to encourage you to find some fun new looks from what you already have. It makes you approach and look at your closet in a new way.

I want to remind you that I’m doing a fall special for the months of September, October & November 2023 - receive 20% off any hourly or package fee.

I would love to come, inspire & show you how to create some outfits from pieces you already own. I will take notes and pictures for you to have to remind you of the outfit combinations.
