Fashion Hacks to Spice Up Your Current Wardrobe

Don’t we all wish we could wake up and have the perfect outfit every morning? Sometimes it feels like you have to shop every weekend to keep your wardrobe interesting. Often, we just get used to looking at the same clothes and accessories in our closets and forget what’s really there. Here are some tips for spicing things up without having to invest a ton of money or time shopping.

Go Through Your Closet

While this can seem like a daunting task, it’s the best place to start. Going through each and every item in your closet will definitely re-introduce you to items you forgot you had. Go through your closet, drawers, wherever you keep your jewelry, the coat closet and anywhere else you’re hiding parts of your ensemble. This is also a good chance to get rid of items you don’t want anymore. Getting rid of things that don’t fit right or don’t make you feel amazing when you put them on will clear up room for new items and make what stays in your closet more visible. It’s amazing what tidying up and seeing everything you have can do for your creativity. Look at each item and decide whether or not you love it. Don’t love it? Donate it, hand it down to someone, or even re-purpose it somehow.

Don’t Underestimate the Power of Accessories

If you haven’t experienced the amazing difference accessories can make in your wardrobe, give it a try. Adding different jewelry, a scarf or a cardigan to the same old outfit can give it new life. Remember this one when you’re out shopping as well. Maybe you have some great staples in your closet and you can get a chunky necklace or big earrings to make outfits that look even more put together. This can make all the difference on those days when nothing seems to fit right in the dressing room.

SHOES.

Shoes can make or break an outfit. Seriously. Adding a colored shoe to a neutral outfit can take your outfit from mediocre to excellent. Don’t be afraid to keep a mix of shoes in your closet. Basics that will blend in and put focus on other parts of your outfit, and wild shoes that will really pop. Invest in great shoes and you’ll always have something lovely to wear!

Have A Friend Go Through Your Wardrobe

Have you ever been working on a project for so long that your eyes are going crossed and you’re stuck on an issue for hours. You decide to ask a friend to look at it and they come up with a solution instantly? Sometimes all it takes is a fresh pair of eyes! Ask a friend with great fashion sense to come over and look through your closet. Promise to try on any outfit they put together and see what happens! They’ll definitely try something you haven’t. If you ever had a college roommate that swapped clothes with you on occasion, you’ve seen this first hand. Bonus: they might put together something that they happen to have the perfect accent for and let you borrow it. Score!

Have Fun with It

Sometimes, all it takes to make things more interesting is to try things you haven’t before. The best outfits are often born out of taking a few items you’ve never worn together and seeing how they look. Play with putting multiple patterns together, tucking a more casual shirt into a pencil skirt, or put different shades of the same color together and see how it looks! You’ll probably end up putting some things together that you wish you never saw yourself in. But, you’ll definitely come up with some new ideas that you didn’t know were possible with what was already in your closet!

New York Fashion Week: Who, What, When, Where and Why

New York Fashion Week has begun! You’ve probably heard about it at some point. Maybe you’ve attended. Maybe you’ve glued yourself to your phone or computer screen and read about or watched as much of it as you could find on the web. And maybe, although you love fashion, you’ve heard of NYFW but don’t really know what it is. If you’re in the last boat, you’ve come to the right place! We’ll give you a brief snapshot of the who, what, when, where and why of New York Fashion Week.

What is New York Fashion Week?

                New York Fashion Week is one of the “Big 4” fashion weeks in the world along with those held in Milan, Paris, and London. It’s been happening for over 70 years! Basically, it’s a week or more built around events where designers show their new collections to buyers (aka, the people who place orders for stores, websites, etc.), media outlets and the public.

When is it?

                This is a semi-annual event that happens in February and September every year.

Who is there?

                Designers (of course), buyers, models, photographers, bloggers, socialites, etc. Basically, anyone who is anyone in the fashion industry is represented there. Therefore, it’s a BIG deal. If you want to know what’s in, who’s in, and what’s coming, tune in to New York Fashion Week! Most of the events are industry-only, but there are a select few events that are open to the public.

Where is it?

                Several locations are used to house the many events that take place throughout the week. Locations change from year to year. This week, you’ll see many events taking place at Moynihan Station and Skylight Clarkson Square with other events scattered throughout other neighborhoods.

Why does New York Fashion Week exist?

                The main goal of NYFW is for designers to show off their new lines for the next season (therefore, during the September NYFW, they’re showing designs for the Spring/Summer season of the next year). Obviously, with so many people from the fashion industry represented, NYFW is a great way for all sorts of businesses to get their name out there. You’ll see everyone from bloggers to models to news outlets talking about NYFW. Rumor has it that this year we’ll be seeing items that are actually available for Fall/Winter 2016 as well. Tune in and get excited about what’s happening now and what’s to come in the fashion world!

5 Reasons to Love Fearless Fashion Tape

We know fashion tape is everywhere. And that’s because it’s awesome. The only thing better than fashion tape is Fearless Fashion Tape. Here’s why…

1.     It stays.

And it stays strong. It’s not like other fashion tapes that will hold until you move the wrong way. Put a piece on a shirt that gaps between the buttons, pant legs that are too long, a belt that won’t stay down, or anything else you can think of and it will stay all day. Pull it off at the end of that day and you’ll still feel how strong the tape is as you pull it off. But don’t worry, it’s easy to get off when you’re ready and it won’t leave anything on your clothes. Get ready to be comfortable in your outfit all day. No slips, no peek-a-boo, no worries! 

2.     It’s strong.

Seriously. If you’ve ever barely touched a piece of fashion tape and had it stretch so thin you couldn’t use it, you’ll appreciate this. You have to pull a piece of Fearless Fashion Tape pretty hard to make it stretch. Yep, it’s awesome.

3.     It’s affordable.

Because you can purchase Fearless Fashion Tape in bulk, you pay a lot less per strip. And since fashion tape is so useful to have around, you’ll find yourself wanting a lot of it!

4.     It comes in more than one shape.

Sometimes, you just want options. Not everyone’s needs are the same, so why would we have only one option for tape? Fearless Fashion Tape can be purchased as strips or as dots. No matter which tin you buy, you’ll get a smaller bonus tin so you can keep Fearless Fashion Tape with you wherever you go.

5.     It’s manufactured by a company with 30 years of experience.

Fearless Fashion Tape is manufactured by Walker Tape, the industry leader in tape and adhesives for hair replacement systems. That means they’re experts in adhesives that are gentle enough for skin, but strong enough to hold even the heaviest of hair systems in place. Since 1985, Walker Tape has been creating outstanding adhesive products with their vast knowledge. So, you can purchase Fearless Fashion Tape with confidence, knowing that experts formulated it with your needs in mind.
