5 Ways to Finish Any Outfit

.

Do you ever get dressed and look in the mirror and feel like something is missing? It’s unbelievable how such subtle things like makeup, accessories, or styling options can elevate even the most simple looks. People who are categorized with good style or fashion sense are not the people with the most expensive wardrobe and the most fabulous clothes. Instead, they are the people who simply know how to put pieces together well to complete any outfit. So take a deep breath! The pressure is off because you don’t have to own a certain type of wardrobe to pull off your outfit. In fact, we would venture to say that you could have all the clothes in the world, but if you don’t know how to wear them and tie them together you’re no better off than someone with a limited wardrobe.

So how do you make every outfit look complete, well-rounded, and put together? We’ve consulted some industry experts and compiled all the best little tips and tricks to have you looking more like your best self in no time.

1.Eyelash Extensions

Somehow, having mascara on always makes an outfit feel more put together. Good lashes give off the look that you put effort into getting ready and can take a no-makeup look and turn it into a look of completion. One life hack that requires no effort at all is to get eyelash extensions. No makeup removal in the evening and application in the morning, eyelash extensions have you looking put together and your best 24 hours a day. Many women get squeamish about the price of adding a lash tech who provides eyelash services to their beauty regimen budget, so many opt for home kits that have DIY lash extensions. Eyelash extension kits are an easy way to finish any outfit or look and have you looking your absolute best all day, every day.

2.A Fashion Scarf

You can tie it around your neck, around your ponytail, or around the handle of your purse! No matter how you choose to style it, a small silk fashion scarf can make all the difference in an outfit. By adding a pop of color or pattern, whatever outfit you are currently wearing immediately has a more interesting twist. Not to mention, if it’s a dirty hair day, a ponytail with a scarf tied around it immediately distracts from any grit and grime. In fact, a scarf in your hair makes it look like you put thought into your outfit when really it was as simple as tying a knot.

3.A Crossbody Belt Bag

Whether you’re in all your athleisure glory with a pair of leggings and crop or you’re in your fall season glory with a peacoat and trousers, a crossbody bag immediately adds just enough layering to an outfit to make it feel complete. In recent years, the fanny pack has made a resurgence, but this time being worn across the front of your body starting at your shoulder and ending at your opposite hip. Transcending beyond your most casual outfit to your most fashionable, the crossbody “belt bag” as so many are referring to them allows you the practicality of a wallet and key holder, while adding a finishing accessory look to your outfit.

4.Sunglasses

Call us crazy, but there is truly nothing a pair of sunglasses can’t fix. Finishing off a vacation look traipsing through Italy with a gelato cone in hand? Sunglasses combed through your hair on top of your head are the look. Running to your child’s soccer game in leggings with a coffee in hand on a Saturday morning? Sunglasses have got your back in hiding those dark circles, Mama. No matter the occasion, cute sunglasses just have this perfect way of making an outfit look more put together.

5.Layered Gold Jewelry

Let’s face it, the layered look with jewelry is in! The beauty of this is that it implies levels of effort and intentionality to an outfit that you may not have even thought about when you tossed them on. That’s why getting a staple set of two to three gold necklaces of various lengths that look cute together gives your outfit an immediate boost. Relying on these necklaces is a great life hack because you can wear them with literally any outfit you own, all while sending a message to the world that you took the time for the finishing touches. You didn’t have to think about it, but that doesn’t have to keep them from thinking you did.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
