How To Repeat Your Clothes Over & Over Again!
I am a strong supporter of taking good advantage of the clothes and accessories you own. I don’t like when people say that you can’t repeat your clothes too many times. If Olivia Palermo and Kate Middlenton do it, why you shouldn’t?! As a designer I think that every piece of fashion are meant to be used. I do not like to hear the phrase: “I’m going to buy something but only for this special occasion”, if that is the case, you better not buy it. I believe that even if you had an unlimited bank account, with the ability to buy a new look for every single day, fashion is supposed to be fun and for playing around with different styles.
If you follow me on social media you might have seem my hashtag networks #NatsLooks, where I publish some of my everyday outfits. Disclaimer: these looks are real, all pieces belong to my personal collection, and are not borrow for shooting purpose only. I want it to be clear with that, because I know that nowadays with everything going around social networks and fashion blogs, people tent to believe that EVERYTHING is false and I’m just trying to sell. I’ve always wanted to introduce myself as I am, and what I have but … because what’s the point, right?
Ok, back to the subject. How to repeat your clothes over & over again? The trick is easy:
1. Invest in accessories: You can find many items with a very good price, from jewellery, hats, sunglasses, scarves, purses, etc. More options, more possibilities. BE AWARE: Do not get overboard and start buying things without thinking straight. Accessories should be useful too.
2. Create different layers: Use jackets, vests, sweaters and kimonos and place them on top of each look. These pieces have the power to change you overlook. For example: if you have a pair of jeans and t-shirt and you put something on, it will give you a totally different look.
3. Dare to try different styles: Search images from magazines or creates a board on Pinterest (like mine!) with different styles for you to get inspired. Think full styling, from hair, makeup to nail polish. Although it might seem like a small thing, it will definitely help you create a different style and repeat your clothes many, many time.
