the weekly shake no. 1: what to wear tomorrow, new on the shopping list, and a random inspirational quote

B October 5, 2014

INSPIRATION FOR WHAT TO WEAR TOMORROW:

1.

Follow The StyleShaker's board Outfit Blueprints: Day/Polished on Pinterest.

This look is SO simple (yet so effective), and the navy situation just adds a little something into the normal black-on-black mix you know? Tuck in a lightweight blouse, adding a simple wrap belt defines the waist, and you can opt for a neutral heel. If you want edge, add a bold necklace and pop of color on the lip (or via a pop color heel). If you want to keep it demure, go with a simple drop earring or a stud earring, and bracelet. These three pieces are an easy foundation for a ton of different looks. One more option for Fall would be to throw a colorful scarf into the equation. 

KEY PIECES:

  • lightweight blouse
  • pencil skirt
  • wrap belt

STYLING IDEAS:

  • stud earrings
  • black leather tote (yes, navy and black can work)
  • neutral heel (taupe/grey)

SHOPPING OPTIONS:

KEEP SHOPPING

A trench coat can take anything casual, and class it up a bit. You can't go wrong with a trench, seriously. The four key pieces in this outfit can be switched up a number of ways to get plenty of wear out of the one look. You can opt for a black pant as opposed to a skinny jean and boom, you have something for work. Add in a wide-leg white pant, red lip, and statement necklace along the collar of the blouse, and now you've got something to wear out at night or day depending on what your 'everyday' looks like.

KEY PIECES:

  • trench coat
  • skinny jeans
  • ankle boots
  • shoulder bag

STYLING IDEAS:

  • office: go for a black skinny or wide leg
  • a basic black pump or even leopard print works
  • add-in a statement necklace under the blouse collar

SHOPPING OPTIONS:

J.Crew does 'simple style' so well. They hit the nail-on the head each season via a formula that works. There's nothing wrong with having a set formula, or blueprint (if you look at Week 2 of the Ultimate Closet Guide I show how helpful a blueprint 'uniform' can be). Actually, that takes the stress out of getting dressed in the morning and allows you to focus on investing in a few core pieces while you have fun playing with different ways to incorporate a trend (where you can afford to spend less and make the look your own). This look is comfy, classic, and easy to switch up. Love it.

KEY PIECES:

  • overcoat (black or navy; go neutral)
  • lightweight crew-neck sweater or sweatshirt
  • tweed skirt (volume with an a-line or pencil depending on body type; Pears opt for pencil)
  • shoulder bag/tote pop color (brick red?)
  • neutral pump/ankle boot depending on height (ankle boots will cut the vertical eye-line on more petite types)

STYLING IDEAS:

  • this could be weekend/casual by adding in a distressed skinny or boyfriend jean
  • a pop of color on the lip works well
  • layer necklaces and rings

SHOPPING OPTIONS:

White shirt, legging, ankle strap. Seriously though, it doesn't get much more simple than this style equation. You can amp up the look by streamlining the fit on top or keep it loose and throw in some serious accessories. Toss on a bold (red maybe) fitted blazer or go with a classic grey (could even opt for a herringbone or chevron print for Fall) and you've polished things up for a more professional look. For those looking to streamline their top halves, opt for a more fitted shirt and go crazy with a printed legging to draw attention to those gams. Hourglass shapes, cinch in at the waist (use those curves) using that fitted layer of a blazer (or cardigan) I just mentioned. You've got options.

KEY PIECES:

  • white (oversized) button-front shirt
  • leggings (with or without the stripe/embellishment)
  • ankle-strap sandal
  • black tote
  • sunglasses (Ray-Bans) 
  • oversized watch

STYLING IDEAS:

  • this could be weekend/casual by adding in a distressed skinny or boyfriend jean
  • a pop of color on the lip works well
  • layer necklaces and rings
  • Add in a top layer: colorful blazer, cardigan, etc.

A LITTLE EXTRA INSPIRATION:

In Week 1 of the 30-Day guide-book I just published I talk a lot about letting go (it IS the Closet Overhaul portion of the 30-day ultimate closet adventure after all, and letting go is fundamental to that part of the process).

But what's important about that first week isn't just the physical act of filling up those trash bags. What's important is shifting your perspective from what you're letting go of, to what you're about to gain.

I get it, it's only natural to veer (read: careen) towards the dark side on this one. We all do it. So fine, cool, now that you know what  you're up against, make a plan to say 'hello' to the  'El Negativo' inside, give it a hug, and by all means, move on by switching your internal 'station' to something more upbeat.

Think about the amazing things about to come into the space you've created in your closet. Think about the lives you will touch with your donations, or think about what you'll do to treat yourself with the few extra bucks you make when your pieces sell on-line. Think full, not empty.

This applies elsewhere in life (you knew this was coming right?):

You lose a job. Ok fine. That sucks. We get it. But ask yourself, "so now what?"

It's not oversimplifying the situation. You need to recognize what happened and pay your respects, sure. Then you snap out of it and start looking forward. Asking, 'so, now what?' will help you do that.

Break-up? Ughhhh, blow to the gut/ego/heart, etc. It's rough. But that person is not meant to be around for a reason. Yes, it sounds like a Hallmark card, but really it's not, there is someone else that is meant to be in your life and hey, maybe that's just YOU. Whoa. You, just you. Yep, I said it.

You can be enough and maybe now is the time you get to revel in finding your authentic self, finding out what YOU want. All of a sudden the devastating breakup turns into a gift. It's a pain in the ass, but it's a gift if you CHOOSE (everyday) to look at it that way. 

If you choose to see the gifts, the space, the possibilities you could be taking the blinders off to things that may be right in front of your face, waiting for you with open arms: the friend, the love, the job, the life, or the 'you' you've been looking for.

If you don't open up to that, you just won't see it. If I looked at ALL of the cards stacked against me this past year, I would have never moved to San Francisco and added 'author' to my resume. It would have never happened. It is a daily discipline, still, to adjust and shift my perspective, but it's a cool one and when I stop to look at things, I can see how it has changed and continues to change my life. 

I invite you to try it out with me every day. Pick a ritual, tea time, coffee time, on the bus, sitting in the car, whatever. Try it out. It's your choice.

Sit on that one for a minute. Now ask yourself:

'So....now what?'

What are you going to choose to focus on tomorrow/this week?

Taking the new @janeiredale skincare for a test drive ❤️ Here’s my honest first impressions (mind you, I’ve had the moisturizer for awhile soooo that’s just a proven winner):
〰️
✨ Beauty Prep Moisturizer: still something I use every day. It’s lightweight, but soaks right in.
〰️
✨ Beauty Prep Cleanser: totally different. No water needed, just swipe and remove excess makeup. I tried it and saw makeup coming off even AFTER I did my normal makeup removal routine which is fantastic. 🙌
〰️
✨Beauty Prep Toner: Nice, but I’m not sure my skin really a. Needs it or b. Responds to it. I’m not sure yet 🤷🏻‍♀️
〰️
✨Hyaluronic Acid: Goes on quickly, soaks in, not as moisturizing as a cream of course, but so far so good. Need to keep testing to see whether this is a game-changer for my skin.
✨
Have a great weekend! #styleshakersquad #janeiredale #saturday
Guess what I’ll be testing this weekend...!?🙌
Happy #friday squad 💜💜💜
Like I always say, when in doubt, put on a bedazzled cat-ear headband ✨ #tgif #fridayvibes

First impressions for the @100percentpure Long Lasting Brows in Soft Brown:
✨
The hunt is still on for the best green & clean brow products so I thought I’d give this one a try after the Ecobrow debacle. Overall:
🦄 Applies well with an angled brush.
🦄 Gives a soft line to the brow. I usually opt for more drama. Shocking...I know.
🦄 Fills in all right, but I found the addition of brow gel, namely the Kush brow fiber gel from @milkmakeup to really help.
🦄 That’s the end of this first impresh-sesh. Will I keep reaching for it? TBD. Do you love it or know of something else I need to try?
🦄 Do tell :)
If you need me, I’ll be over here testing #greenbeauty #cleanbeauty eyeliners to find the longest lasting of the bunch & googling “atmospheric river.”

I miss you ☀️. See you soon 🙏🏼 #wednesday #vibes #rain rain, go away. #vitamind
Honest review for @honest_beauty mascara! I talk all about whether I still love it, who it’s best for, who should pass, & then some in today’s 2019 update video! Oh, and wait until the end for a Blue cameo like none other...she’s really getting into filming 🐱 🤦🏻‍♀️#wednesday
Gloomy skies call for a pop of color. Today’s lip combo: @fitglowbeauty lip serum in Gospel + @crunchi luxe lipstick in Spontaneous
✨
The lipstick color is suuuuuper fun and gives off a creamy, bright, coral color so I toned it down a tad with the serum underneath anndddddd...kinda liking it. 🤷🏻‍♀️
🦄

Mistakes happen. We’re human. Two phrases I use on repeat:
🦄 So, now what? *gets me from ruminating on the negative, to taking positive action 💪
🦄 What if it’s not happening to you, but FOR you *flips the script in a snap 🙌
〰️
When we know better, we can do better. It takes slipping up here and there to grow 💐 But it’s near to impossible to get back up if we stay stuck in the cycle of being super hard on ourselves ya know?
👯‍♀️
It’s not as easy as one inspirational quote on Instagram🤣 I’m sharing this because what DOES help in my experience, is knowing you are not alone. Massive hugs to you today squad, and lots of love ❤️
✨
Happy #friday from your girl B & Queen Blue 🐱

Ok, so trying this out. Today’s  foundation combination:
👯‍♀️
The @inikaorganic BB Cream + the @vapourbeauty Atmosphere Luminous Foundation
💜
Why? Well a. I love trying combos and b. Skin is suuuuuuper dry and I didn’t want too dewy of a look.
🌺
Verdict: sooooo loving it. The BB cream cuts the silky texture of the foundation and it just glided on. Super smooth application but not overly dewy. 💫A happy medium. I may always mix & match to create these little cosmetic “cocktails!”
✨
