Chantelle`s Diary

 When it comes to fashion there really are no specific rules to live by because fashion is something you have fun with and put what you make out of it. I do believe there are rules that specific people do live by when it comes to how they want their outfits to look and keep those same rules for when they go shopping. That is why I wanted to share some of my rules that I live by when it comes to fashion.

1). The first rule which is the most important is to be authentic. I believe when it comes to fashion being authentic is what makes you stand out the most, you have to be who you are no matter what. Your unique style that belongs to you is what is going to make you different from others. We all want to be ourselves and not feel like we have to copy other people’s style. So, remember to always keep being yourself and stay true to your style and not other people’s. It is one thing to look for inspiration but, definitely try not to copy from head to toe another person’s look. We are all different people who are unique.

2). My second rule is to always have black. Black is a color that goes with everything and I sometimes feel black is a color that stands out. I think when you pair things with the color black it makes the outfit look good. Even when you have a whole black outfit on it really pops out and shows how chic you look. I definitely advise everyone to have black clothing in their  wardrobe because sometimes you will not always have outfits that can match together so, just a touch of black can help.

3). My third rule is to always have some accessories that go with my outfit. When you have accessories that go with your outfit it can stand out a lot. Sometimes your fit will not always come out the way you want it to but if you add some glasses, necklaces, or some cute earrings your outfit will pop out for sure. Accessories can go a long way and make the outfit look way more cute.

4). My fourth rule is to always have some fly shoes to go with an outfit. I know fashion people notice how sometimes shoes can complete an outfit especially with the shoes that come out today shoes are a huge plus with outfits. You can have the most basic outfit on but if you wear a dope shoe it can definitely pop out more everyone will be staring at your feet. So, I definitely advise to have that favorite shoe of yours that pops out and stunt in them. It will work, trust me.

5). My last rule is that you can ball on a budget. I feel a lot of people think you have to have the latest designer pieces and that makes you “stylish” but it does not. You can have the latest designer pieces and may not know how to style these pieces very well, so you do not need that to feel “stylish”. You can go to your local thrift store and find some great pieces and as long as you know how to style it you got this!
