]]> Do you ever look in your closet and feel like you have nothing to wear? For most of us, while this feeling can hit home, it doesn’t represent the truth. In fact, you’re more likely to feel this way if you’re staring at an unmanageable amount of clothes, some of which you haven’t worn in months. Rather than heading to the shops to pick up some new pieces, why not make the most of what you already have and create some new looks? Using some wardrobe staples—a spaghetti strap dress, a white shirt, and a tank top, this article will show you how to breathe life into old clothes.

Dress to Impress

If you have a slinky, silk slip-style dress in your wardrobe, the chances are you reserve it for the hottest summer days. However, by layering this style of dress over a long-sleeved blouse, or under a casual sweatshirt, you can enjoy wearing your finest summer wear even in the depths of winter. Silk is a stunning fabric to wear in the daytime, as it catches the light beautifully, so don’t just reserve your silk dresses for evening or occasion wear.

White Shirt Jacket

A white shirt doesn’t have to be buttoned up and tucked into some office-ready pants. Use it as a layering piece over a dress, a nice top and jeans combo, or even over a jumpsuit to create some innovative looks that are playful and timeless.

Tank Top Waistcoat

Waistcoats have had a huge fashion moment over the past few seasons. For a spring/summer-friendly take, layer a simple white or black tank over a dress or blouse, to alter the shape of the clothes and add an interesting over-layer.

]]> One of the most challenging parts of developing your personal style is learning to recognize the difference between what looks good in general and what looks good on you. Have you ever seen a picture of someone wearing a particular outfit and thought that it looked great, only to end up disappointed when trying on the same thing for yourself? It may have been that the other person you saw wearing the outfit was a different season than you. Understanding your season and what colors work best for you can make all of the difference in terms of how a piece looks on you and how confident you feel. Here’s how to determine yours.

Check Your Undertone

One of the most important factors in determining your color season is to figure out whether your skin has a warm or cool undertone. To check yours, put on a white shirt and stand in natural light. If your skin appears rosy or pinkish compared to the shirt, your undertone is cool. If it appears more yellow or golden, your undertone is warm. Warm undertones indicate you are a spring or an autumn, while cool undertones mean you’re a winter or summer.

Consider Your Hair

If your hair has a reddish or strawberry blonde color, it’s most likely that you’re a spring or an autumn. If your undertone is warm and your overall coloring is deep (dark hair, dark eyes, and low contrast between hair and skin), you are an autumn. If your hair, skin, and eyes are light with a warm undertone, you are a spring.

If your undertone is cool, you can determine if you’re a summer or winter based on the level of contrast between your hair and skin. If your hair is much darker than your skin, it’s most likely you’re a winter. If your hair color is ashy and the level of contrast against your skin is low, you’re a summer.
