How to Elevate Your Uniform
Looking into your closet and feeling, well, 'meh' ?
Don't blame your entire wardrobe--it's mostly likely those go-to looks you've been wearing on repeat for the last couple months. Don't get us wrong, we love a 'uniform' to make things easy, but relying so heavily on a few looks can get old, fast. Sometimes all you need to do is SWITCH IT UP to feel excited about getting dressed again!
Check out our 3 pro tips to upgrade key looks in your closet:
1. KEEP THE FOUNDATION // ADD A TREND PIECE
If your basics are looking, well, basic, all you need is a fresh, modern piece to breathe new life and visual interest into your beloved jeans, tees and dresses. 1 of-the-moment shoe and/or bag can bring your entire look up-to-date--no wardrobe overhaul necessary.
2. UPDATE YOUR SILHOUETTE
A dated silhouette can drag your whole look down and make you feel like something is 'off.' When you feel that, it's because something is off...yes, this is where I tell you to ditch the skinny jeans. By updating your wardrobe staples (denim, shirting, blazers) for fresher versions, it will elevate everything because these are the items that build all of your outfits.
3. MAKE UNEXPECTED PAIRINGS
Have an outfit formula stuck in your head (i.e. jeans + tee)? Try swapping out one part of the formula for a more unexpected selection. What if you paired your tee with a maxi skirt, or paired a bodysuit with your jeans? Push yourself to try a combo that may end up being your new fave!

YOUR LOOK : shorts + sneakers
YOUR UPGRADE : Opt for a mid-thigh or bermuda length denim short for an updated silhouette. Add a layer like a menswear style blazer to take your look to the next level, and finish with a sneaker with an unexpected pattern or color pop!
YOUR LOOK : t-shirt + jeans
YOUR UPGRADE : Trade your tee for her more polished older sister--the cardigan. Select a more current denim silhouette in the straight or wide leg family, and complete the look with your favorite sandals + sunnies!
YOUR LOOK : dress + heels
YOUR UPGRADE : Elevate your look by choosing a two piece set over a dress--look for fun details like ribbing + cut outs to add additional visual intrigue. Your standard pump can be swapped for an edgier silhouette and paired with a fun clutch!
YOUR LOOK : button down + white jeans
YOUR UPGRADE : Upgrading this look is all about selecting the right silhouette for your button down. An oversized fit will give you the updated look you're going for. Instead of a true white denim try an ecru shade that's current for the season, and pair with a trendy raffia bag for the perfect casual + cool vibe.
