Fashion dilemma of the week
This is how you spice up your basic look in no time
Styling tips and tricks that you don't need to shop for
An overflowing closet full of clothes, a shortage of hangers, or items that we secretly, very secretly actually just forgot. Shopping all my life and still nothing to wear. Believe me, this is also the story of my life. You always have a reason to shop. Because you really need that dress. But really. Or those shoes, you've been looking for them for so long. Occasionally coming up with a shopping excuse for yourself is really not a crime, but wouldn't it be much more fun to breathe new life into all those nice items from your own closet in the coming time? Because let's be honest, no matter how full that closet is, nine times out of ten you still reach for the same basic items. Not a problem of course, but I'll tell you how to create the perfect combination of comfy and cool. Are you reading along?
Layers
The trend of the moment: T-shirts, sweaters, and cardigans under dresses. What about bad weather? You can wear these summer favorites all year round. Even skirts over pants have already been spotted by the models on duty. Why shop the latest autumn collection? This trend has been hanging in your closet since summer.
Tie it
A stray scarf in your drawer or on the coat rack? From bracelet, neck tie, or headband to bag decoration, pocket decoration, or belt: such a scarf is really fun to combine with everything. Go for a cool print or bright color and you will easily steal the show with your outfit.

Print on print
Sounds exciting, but trust me: if you go for a print, do it right and choose print on print, because then you will undoubtedly be the most fashionable girl in town. Choose a specific color palette for yourself, and you will see that different prints in the same shades match incredibly well. Bet that your striped T-shirt suddenly gets a lot of compliments?
Men and skirts, it remains a thing. Men love legs, so a skirt or dress will definitely appeal to them. Of course, it depends on what is planned, so don't immediately reach for your tiny skirt. An over-the-knee or maxi skirt can be just as sexy. Just take a look.
Sleeveless dresses. We fall in love with them and then wear them way too little: too cold, too short, too summery, too much armpit, too white arms... Anyway, you probably hear yourself saying it. I have the solution for you: throw your favorite sweater, crop top, or knitted sweater over it. There's a good chance your friend will want to know where you scored that cool skirt.

Happy socks
Do you prefer to hide your cheerful polka dot socks as deep as possible in your over-the-knee boots? Don't do that anymore. Roll up your skinny jeans and wear sneakers underneath, because those socks deserve to be seen. Not only a super stylish detail, but also nice and warm for your ankles.
Pins and patches
That clothing becomes cooler with patches is clear with the coolest pins and patches. And the best part about these patches is that you can easily pimp them yourself with a basic look. It won't get more original than this, but definitely cooler. So get to work with those pins, buttons, or patches. Bet you still have some lying around?
