5 Steps to looking good all the time

July 16, 2020 by Moumous |

Hi everyone,

Happy Thursday! I hope you are all doing well. Some of us are already back to the “new normal life” and others are still quarantining. No matter the phase you are currently in, I hope you are making the best of it. That being said, if you dress well you’ll feel better. Dressing appropriately and looking good is an art form you can enjoy for the rest of your life. Here’s 5 steps that can help you dress yourself and look good.

1- The Colors 

The colors you wear should compliment your skin tone, hair colour and eye colour. Don’t be afraid to break out of the black and go for something colourful (FYI, black is not the best color for warm skin tone). Just make sure the colors are flattering for example darker people can wear louder colors whereas paler skins often look better with more subtle colors. If you can afford to have a professional do your colour palette. The investment will pay for itself in time because things in your wardrobe match up better and you’re less prone to making expensive mistakes.

2- Body shape

Clothes can either flatter your shape or draw attention to your flaws. Some body shapes look good in flowing garments, while others look good in fitted or tailored garments. Again a professional opinion is the best. The shape of your face is also important in deciding the type of neckline or collar to wear. In the coming days, I will share more tips on the topics or you can book a private session with me :-).

3- Quality over Quantity

Shop for quality, fewer quality items are better than a wardrobe stuffed with tops that are falling apart at the seams, faded or quickly lose their shape. There are definitely some tips and tricks if you are under budget or would like to make the best of your coins.You’ll feel better in quality clothes. People sense you’re wearing good clothing, and treat you better. Try it and see what happens.

4- Dress appropriately 

It’s obvious that a tailored suit is great for work but there are subtler ways you can dress inappropriately.  For example you won’t be taken too seriously in yellow and navy blue on a first date. This will give the impression you’re not interested in having any fun (No I don’t mean the physical kind). Likewise showing too much skin on a first date may mean you do want to have fun of the physical kind. Just some food for thought…

5- Personal Style 

Dressing can be a lot of fun and a great way of expressing yourself. Find your personal style or a signature style based on the tips above. You never know the next great outfit could change your life for the better. And like it or not people treat you differently if you’re well dressed.

    I love everything about this look and your hat is soooo fabulous! As are your sunnies! I agree, how we dress affects how we show up each day – even something as simple as a bright color and add a needed kick in our step!
    Fun post! Have a great week!

Mother’s Day Reflection 💐 Today, I’m just Mother’s Day Reflection 💐

Today, I’m just sitting in gratitude for the blessing of experiencing motherhood. I may not be the perfect mom, but I’ve somehow been trusted with the greatest kids — and that’s more than enough.
They keep surprising me, making me proud, and showing me love in ways that melt my heart.

Last night, Aby told me that her friends always say she’s lucky to have a cool mom. I smiled and told her, “You make it so easy for me.” She looked at me and said, “I’m just grateful for the greatest mom.”

Who’s cutting onions? 😭💕

To every mom out there — whether by blood, by choice, or by love — Happy Mother’s Day. You’re doing more than you think, and you are appreciated more than you know. 💛
