4 Steps to Building the Perfect Outfit
If you are like me, I rarely have time to shop for myself. My paycheck and time revolve around what my family needs. Who hasn’t stared at their closet and said, “I have nothing to wear!” With a few easy steps, you can build a great outfit from the ground up. It is my hope that I can take this stress out of your day.
Step 1: Pick Your Bottoms
I start my day by asking Alexa what the weather is going to be for the day. This helps me determine whether I am wearing pants, a skirt, dress, or even shorts. If it is scorching hot outside dresses and skirts are my go-to. When it is raining or cold, pants are the best option.

Step 2: Pick Your Top
Sometimes I find creative inspiration however, for those days where we just lack the creativity, I hold up my bottoms to every top I have in my closet. I encourage you to pull the shirts out if you need to as it will give you a better visual image of an outfit. I always surprise myself when I do this as I can pick the most unexpected combinations.

Step 3: Choose Your Shoes
I have to make a confession. I am obsessed with shoes. The crazier, the better. At the same time, this makes selecting the perfect shoe for my outfit extremely hard. Sometimes too many options can overwhelm us. When faced with this, I select a few pairs and see how they look with my outfit.

Step 4: Add a Dash of Bling
Now this last step is not always necessary, but almost always I need an accessory to tie the outfit all together. The accessory can be a scarf, belt, hat, jewelry, or even sunglasses. Now, when you are selecting jewelry, I recommend that you select either a necklace or a bracelet. This is important as you do not want both of them competing for attention.
