How to stand out with just the basics on.
The most impressive thing you can do is upgrade an incredibly basic outfit with no extra cost. If you have the right inspiration and creativity, you can transform any go-to outfit into a much more stylish look. Because I'm a broke college student, finding affordable clothing has been a necessity and keeping it trendy is tough. Lately, Shein, H&M, and thrift stores like Thred Up and Goodwill have been my primary shopping destinations.First things first, everyone has black and denim. It's a must have, and super easy to throw on in the morning, but how about updating your style a bit. You will begin to love your OOTD's and feel much more confident in your look! With only a few simple, and inexpensive ideas, your most basic clothing items can turn into your most fashionable fits!
1. Add a Statement Piece!
Belts and boots are a definite stand out for any plain outfit. For this look, I matched my Steve Madden snake skin boots with a matching belt from Nordstrom Rack. Belts are a super easy way to upgrade a look, especially with black and denim. Any color, pattern, or design would work!
Earrings are another great way to make your outfit stand out. I love throwing on a pair of statement earrings with simple clothes! It definitely makes a difference!
2. Match with a Show Stopping Bag
Purses can be expensive, but try to work with the ones you already have! Any plain black bag goes great with a simple outfit and even tying a mini scarf around the handle can take it to the next level. This Kate Spade bag is one of my favorites and was a lovely gift from my mom. Purses are a super easy way to make your outfit a little more trendy but still classy!
3. Something Trendy
Of course. trends go in and out of style constantly, but this belt, mini bag, and sweater are a great way to fit in with some fashion trends right now. I purchased this belt in both black and white from Amazon for a great price! Also, the top is from Shein and comes in a couple different colors. Happy shopping!
Overall, the best advice I can give you is to dig deep into your closets and pull out some of your best accessories! Black and denim will be staples in your wardrobe forever, so have some fun with it and get stylish! There's no need to spend more money on new items when you already have some available to you! I know I've stopped wearing a lot of my really cool jewelry so I pulled it all out and began matching it with my basic outfits which added some more style. Don't be afraid to stand out a little. I mean everyones got black and denim, make yours unique!
