Before I start putting together
an outfit, I always make sure I think about what my wardrobe goals are for the
occasion. Sometimes it helps to have a cheat sheet, so I put together a short
list of a few basic ideas before I get started. It's really easy and sometimes
it's all the inspiration I need to put together a great look.
The first thing I consider is the
location of the event, you know...where am i going, what's the climate going to
be like, where is the venue, what's the lighting like, the overall environment
of where I'll be going.
After that I think about who's
going to be there, it helps to know if I'm going to be around upscale people
are just casual friends or family.
Third I consider what type of
fabric I'll be wearing to the event and if it's appropriate. Wearing heavy wool
to an interview mid July would be a big mistake don't you think?
This narrows down my selection of
what I can wear just by going through those few steps but that's not the end of
it. I also have to worry about how the remaining items fit, I wouldn't want to
put on a dress only to find out it will drag on the ground or maybe an old
jacket I loved just doesn't fit the same anymore. If it doesn't fit me right, I won't wear it.
I also have to keep in mind how
much clothing I will have on because shows too much skin can be inappropriate
depending on the event. Presentation matters, I should always look neat and my
shirt should not be wrinkled. No scuffed shoes or missing heels here.
What should I wear,
figuring this out made easy.
