Kaira’s Outfit Checklist

By Imogenl @ImogenLamport

Another post from one of my lovely readers.  Here Kaira share’s her “outfit checklist” as she puts it.  The posts she’s found have helped her put together her outfits each day.

Here is an *outfit checklist* I recently compiled, with references to your blog posts that relate predominantly to my colouring.

What are your best neutrals brunette, blonde, grey, red hair

Value contrast in the portrait area?
Dark & light or bright – how to work with your contrast – high contrast

Finished?
– Neat hair
– Some make-up
– Ironed clothes
– Accessories (4 seems good)

A is for Accessories

How to choose a necklace to work with your neckline

Flattering for body shape? Volume balance?

X Body Shape Explained

Real life X body shapes

Principle of Volume

Refinement level appropriate? Levels of Refinement

Fits mood? Not costume? Fits style words? : comfortable, elegant, relaxed, touch creative/boho/poetic What’s your style recipe?

Comfortable?
– Layers for temp control?
– Shoes appropriate for day’s activity?
– Scarf/shawl?

[I have mostly weeded out jewelry that didn’t suit my body/face shape so don’t need to check for that anymore.]

Have you found this outfit checklist useful?  What would you add in that would make it more relevant for you?
