Stylin' VIDEO: Raiding Your Partner's Closet

This was a favorite video from last year so I thought I'd re-post it for those of you who may not have seen it! Enjoy! xoxo

Some days I get so sad when I look at my wardrobe. Nothing is clean or nothing fits. It is then that I decide to look at what my husband has in his drawer and I whip out the cutest of his shirts. It will definitely fit and with some accessories and some attitude I know I can rock it.

Watch the video on how to make this masculine shirt fantastically feminine and see my detailed notes below on how to make this look work for you!



Tip #1
Choose The Shirt Wisely
. Really, it is all in the print (or lack thereof). Plain colors work well - there isn’t too much to think about there, just keep in mind that you should pick a color that is suitable for your skin tone.

But if you want to spice it up (like I always do) then make sure you choose a print that is somewhat current and bold. Don’t choose a print with a tiny floral pattern or minuscule pinstripe. Try for a buffalo check or detailed plaid instead.

Tip #2
The Accessories Make It Lady-Like
. This shirt is going to be very boxy, with no darts or feminine shaping at all. You have to add that on your own. Unbutton the top buttons to bring focus on the bust, add a belt at the waist for definition, and roll up the sleeves to show some skin. You must finish the look with girly shoes – manly runners or clunky boots are a no go.

Tip #3
Don’t Forget The Attitude
. In order to pull off any look, you have to love it and people need to see that. By flipping up the collar and walking with a bit of a swagger, the look is complete. No need to be over the top, just know that you look hot and others think so too! You can feel confident knowing you put together a great outfit.
