Hey everyone it's Em. So for most posts I am going to do outfits from my own closet or deals/ideas/tips to make your closet more versatile for you. I'll get to that. But I'd like to start with some of my designs to show you how I do mine as either a "gonna create this someday" or a planning for something I could actually be on the lookout for materials or items I can use (sweaters, scarves, etc.) to recreate the look.
                                                         
I usually start with my drawing model. Start with just drawing out the form itself. Even the whole leg with the knee joints. Draw lightly because you will likely erase a lot of what you put down as a start. Then when you decide the kind of material. How does it react? Depending on the weight, it will flow in certain ways. Then accents and details come last i.e the patterns on the clothes or shoes and jewelry.


 Then go shopping! Look for jewelry and accents, shirts paired with jackets, jeans/shorts--anything. Often times you won't be able to create the design because you need certain materials. But don't underestimate the amount of clothes that you have in your closet already. I've cut up a sweater shirt and paired it with a cute dress and some jewelry to create a brand new outfit that looked nothing like the original. My next post will have actual outfits, but I encourage you to be creative and try some combinations in your closet that you've never paired before. Some times when I have nothing to wear, I close my eyes, reach my hands through my clothes, grab two things and then pair them together. Most of the time it turns out really well. So yea, be creative and whatever you wear, be confident. Could be a stupid outfit but if you look like you know it looks good, people will see it that way too.
