How to Add a Wow Factor to the Outfit
I was recently on a “fashion” page on a social media platform and a gal was shared a picture of fancy heels with bling on them. She posted that she was looking forward to wearing them with fancy dresses throughout the upcoming year. Apparently, up until then, the heels had languished away in her closet unworn. It turns out she felt that she didn’t have the “right” occasion or event to wear them to.
My first thought when I saw the bedazzled heels was how fun it would be if she wore them with jeans, a t-shirt, and blazer. The sparkly heels would definitely add a wow factor to the outfit. Maybe you don’t have heels with bling but you have a fancy pair of boots or a luxury label jacket, scarf or purse?
As women, we tend to save and put aside our “fancy” and pricier pieces for special occasions but what if we took those pieces and used them to add a wow factor to our every day outfits?
A perfect example of adding a wow factor to any outfit is adding a fancy bag. I have a girlfriend that saves her luxe bags until the “right” occasion. The “right” occasion to take out the bag is EVERYDAY. I remind her to take out her bags, that bring her joy, and add them as a wow factor to her outfits.
Maybe you have a blouse with sequins that you only wear during the holidays. I am going to challenge you to think about how you could wear it year round with a blazer and jeans, a skirt or even with a pair of slacks or joggers. It would definitely add a wow factor to the outfit.
I am a walk the talk kind of gal so I recently took a t-shirt from Target, paired it with a pair of jeans from Old Navy and then added a fury vest and some bling. The fury vest was my “special” piece and it definitely added a wow factor to my every day outfit.
Think about what you could add to your every day essentials that would make the outfit go from ordinary to wow. Maybe you have a silk dress that you never wear. Think about pairing it with a casual cardigan for an elevated every day look. Perhaps you have a beautiful cashmere sweater that you only wear on special occasions but it would look great if you paired with a midi skirt, a pair of jeans, or a pair of joggers.
