I thought I'd give some tips on how I am going about this.
Start From Fresh
I think one of the first things to do when wanting to reinvent your style is to start from fresh. Sit down and go through every piece of clothing you have, if you can't remember the last time you wore it, it is time to go. Although this may take a lot of time, it makes everything so much easier when you've whittled your gigantic pile of clothes down to your all time favourite items. I always take my unwanted clothes to the charity shop as I am way to lazy to take photos of everything and list it on Depop, and can I be bothered to get a ton of messages asking to sell my Topshop jeans for £5 no postage? No babe.
Get Inspiration From Your Favourite Bloggers
Once you've cleared your clothes out, it is time to get inspired. The 2017 blogosphere is full of so many gorgeous gals who constantly look amazing. Scrolling through my favourite blogs always fills me with inspiration. If you absolutely love the style your favourite blogger is wearing and think you can rock it, then make notes of what items you've seen and see how you can incorporate this into your style.At the moment, my current blogger faves for fashion are are Emma Hill, Tanya Burr, Poppy Deyes and Allie-May Redmond. All of these bloggers have quite similar style in my eyes, think stripes, mom jeans, boots or trainers for a casual outfit. And 100% of the time, all of these gals look incredible.
Utilise The Save Feature On Instagram
The save feature. One of my favourite things that Instagram have ever done. I'm not sure how many people actually use it, but I love it beyond words. Anything from food to the way someone has captured an image, to saving their style for future inspiration. I have folders for my collections of saved items, such as Food, Tattoos and Style. If I'm stuck for an outfit in the morning, I quickly open the app and see if there is an outfit I can recreate with similar items I own. It has transformed uninspired mornings.
Think Outside The Box
Now, when it comes to getting inspiration, I do like to think a little out of the box. Sometimes it is best to step away from the online world, as things look so different in a still image to what they actually do on a real person, stood close to you. When I am out and about, I love looking at peoples outfits and how they've styled themselves that day. Both men and women give me ideas of how I can style my clothes for future outfits. If you see someone and you absolutely love what they're wearing, go up to them and tell them you love their outfit and ask where it is from. Not only will you find out where to buy an awsome piece of clothing, you'll make their day and probably boost their confidence a hell of a lot.
Be True To Yourself
Now it is all well and good being inspired by people, and wanting to change up your style to suit the person you are today. But always remember to be true to yourself. Don't just copy people's outfits piece for piece, but make that outfit work for you. Everyone is different and everyone's body shape is different. If I wear something and it really suits me, it doesn't mean it is going to suit everyone, but that is okay!! Take inspiration and choose clothing that works for your individuality and your body shape. If you feel completely comfortable in something, it will show and other people will notice.
