    Pick the right undergarments

    Undergarments often go overlooked, but the wrong types, fabrics and fit can easily throw off the look of a potentially polished ensemble. It’s always a good idea to invest in top-quality stockings, seamless underwear and strapless bras. They will not only make you feel more comfortable, but they can easily avoid a wardrobe malfunction.

    Keeping things simple yet interesting

    It’s often assumed that to look stylish you have to dress to the nines and need more of everything but in reality, one wrong piece can easily throw off an entire look. The key to not overdoing it is keeping things simple. With that said, it doesn't mean we don't encourage mixing prints and textures or wearing loud pants or jackets (we totally love it!) — but you want to make sure your outfit seems easy and cohesive.

    Select shoes for comfort

    When it comes to shoes, you want to make sure the ones you pick can last you through the entire day or night. Nothing ruins an outfit more than sore feet. So if the day calls for flats or even sneakers, ditch the heels for another occasion. We believe that shoes make the outfit, so next time you're planning your outfit, think feet and plan your way up.
