Hey guys! I hope today's video could give you some quick fashion inspiration + help you feel a little more confident in your personal style! I've been wanting to film a video like this for awhile + thought doing it as a collab with Lindsay Albanese was the perfect way!
A little bit about us in case you haven't seen us before: We are both a part of E! Style Collective + shoot segments for E! News + E! Online. We both are stylists and she also has a youtube channel! We've been together at so many events this past year + have been chatting about collabing for SO long. It's finally here!

You don't have to buy a whole new wardrobe to feel stylish in your day to day outfits. By mixing your proportions, keeping your color palette simple + playing with accessories, you can completely elevate the look of a basic outfit! I hope these simple tips can help you feel a little bit more confident in your everyday style!

Tips on How to Always Be Stylish / Easy Ways to Dress Stylish
1. Proportions- if you're wearing a tighter piece, balance it out with a looser one! Same with if you're wearing something that shows a lot of skin [like shorts] wear something more covering on top.
-You can tuck in a looser fitting top at your hip to help keep your shape + show off your shorts or pants [this is a blogger favorite style tip].
2. Mix Styles- I love to mix styles like hard and soft, casual and glam. If you're wearing something like lace, add a little edge to it. If you're wearing something casual like jeans, add a pair of heels to dress them up!
3. Monochromatic- one of the easiest ways to look chic in a hurry? Wear all black. Or all white. Or all neutral. When in doubt, wear head to toe monochrome. It's easy + modern! Wearing all black is definitely the easiest and most forgiving color- it's a foolproof way to look styled!
4. Accessorize- I love dressing up more basic outfits with a statement necklace or an oversize hat. Lindsay loves layering multiple necklaces!
5. Find your favorites- Have a couple of go-to outfits in your closet that you know look good on you AND you feel great in. I always have a little black dress I can throw on if I'm going somewhere + need to look put together!

CLOTHING LINE UPDATE:

Thank you guys so much for the overwhelming amount of love you left me on my break up story / announcement of my clothing line. I received my first sample for the line [literally, just the first cut off a design] and I started CRYING when they showed it to me. That's what I'm wearing in this video! Even this outfit still has work left to be done on it, but I kept the sample + had to wear it. I have literally been dreaming of this moment + I couldn't even wait for a finished product before showing it to you guys. The line will be released early next year, but I'm so excited that I can show you this early sample now / am so happy to bring you along for the whole process with me!
