  • How To Solve The, “I Have Nothing To Wear” Problem For Dress Lovers

    How To Solve The, “I Have Nothing To Wear” Problem For Dress Lovers

    “I have nothing to wear”  This is something that we have all said at least once this year.  Come on…just admit it.  Endless hours can be spent on shopping, styling, and scrolling for inspiration but that doesn’t stop us from having that feeling.  Let’s be honest; loving what you wear is essential to having a good time.  Would you agree?!  I mean; isn’t this why we put so much effort into it.  At least I’ve never met a fashionista who looked into the mirror right before walking out of the door, hated their outfit, and left happily anyway.  Have you?
    The “I have nothing to wear” problem might be considered even more difficult for dress lovers.  Luckily whoever thought that was completely wrong!  It’s actually quite the opposite.  Dresses are the major key to solving this problem.  Don’t believe me?   Then check out how to solve the ‘I have nothing to wear” issue even when you are a lover of dresses!

    #1 – Build a capsule collection

    Capsule collections are essential to maximizing the different looks you can create.  A capsule collection is a set of pieces that all mix and match with each other.  It can be a set of 5-10 pieces, or 20-30; the more pieces you have to choose from, the options you will have (obviously)  But it doesn’t take much to build an acceptable collection.  As long as you have good foundation pieces, you are good to go!  A denim dress would be an asset in a capsule collection.

    #2 – Invest In A Good LBD, LWD, LRD

    A good little black/white/red dress (or any color for that matter) that fits like a glove and makes you feel like a million bucks should be all up in your closet.  This just means you will always know exactly what to wear when you are feeling the fashion funk.

    #3 – Dresses Are Tops Too

    Just because it’s labeled as a dress doesn’t mean that it has to be worn as one.  Tuck a dress into a skirt or pants and wear it as a top.  Wear a button-up dress as a coverup or let it play double duty as a kimono.

     

    #4 – Keep unique/statement-making accessories on deck

    An unique accessory really steps up your style game to a whole ’nother level.  A body harness or popping handbag will add something new to your look.

    # 5 – Change everything BUT your clothes like trying a new lip color, eye shadow, new hair, etc

    Sometimes it isn’t about what you’re wearing.  A simple change (not outfit related) can give you a different outlook on your style options.  Change up your make up, hair, try a new hair accessory or nail color…you might be surprised how these small details make a big impact.  Plus, it just makes you feel different.

    # 6 – Wear Dresses as Skirts

      Of course, this isn’t an option when a dress has billowy sleeves and heavy embroidery.  But it’s definitely an option for more sleek designs.

  • The Key To Following Trends (And Setting Them) Without looking Like You’re Trying Too Hard

    The Key To Following Trends (And Setting Them) Without looking Like You’re Trying Too Hard

    This might come as a surprise but…you are a trendsetter.  If you didn’t already know, let me be the first one to give you the good news!  Don’t get me wrong, the celebrities, musicians, and bloggers whos’ style some immolate are trendsetters, too.  But what makes them any more of a trendsetter than you?

    Their bank account.  Who says you have to be wearing a $350 dollar t-shirt to be a trendsetter?

    Their social media presence?  Contrary to others opinion, you don’t need millions of followers to set trends.  There are other ways!  

    I can go over a mile long list of excuses but the truth is two things separate us from you.  Confidence and fearlessness.  They have the confidence to wear it.  Along with the fearlessness of not giving a shit what we think about it.  That’s it!  Sounds simple enough, right?

    Let me break it down for you.  Following trends and maximizing the trendsetter in you will be too easy with these tips.…

    When it comes to following trends…

    • Wear one trend at a time – too many trends at once screams, “Please think I’m cool!”
    • Make it your own –
    • Don’t copy, get inspired – I don’t know about you but who likes a copycat?? I’ll wait.  Exactly!  Let the styles that you see on tv, videos, and social media inspire you.  Don’t let it make you want to become an exact replica.  Putting a pink rinse on your hair is one thing.  But having surgery to make your ears flat like theirs…come on now!
    • Accept that all trends aren’t for you.  Just because someone said it’s a “thing” doesn’t mean it has to be your thing!  Clear vinyl tops and skirts are a thing too, but you won’t catch me in one.  Just saying…

    When you want to show off the trendsetter in you…

    • This is YOUR style trend.  No one else has to like it.
    • Be realistic.  If receiving title of “top trendsetter” is your goal than you have to know that wearing a fake peacock on a headband won’t go far.
    • Embrace your crazy – Not peacock on the headband crazy.  But just because your squad didn’t run out to buy the same thing, doesn’t mean it isn’t trendsetting.  Don’t be afraid to try something different.
    • Don’t overthink it.  Fashion and style is supposed to be fun.  Something that makes you feel good.  It you put it on and it feels good to you…then go with it!
    • Fake it tip you make it.  Confidence is and always will be key.  But that doesn’t mean that there aren’t times when you wear something and think, “is this a good look?”.  Be happy with your style choice and wear it confidence.  But in the meantime remember that the key to faking confidence…a smile.

    Now go out there and set some trends!  How do you show off the trendsetter in you?  Which of these tips do you find most useful?  Let me know in the comments…

  • Yes, you can rock a harness!  Here’s How

    Yes, you can rock a harness! Here’s How

    On FNF, I’m always discussing unique accessories and today is no different!  The accessory I am talking about just happens to be one that I am asked about the most.  No kidding.  At each pop up shop, at least a couple of women ask, “What is this?” and “How do I wear it?”  And let me not forget the husbands who always refer to it as some sort of sex toy.  “I can’t wait to play with this” and “Does she have to wear it with a shirt?” are two popular ones.  I guess seeing a strappy, leather harness on a hanger can really get your sexual thoughts going, right?! 🤔

    One thing is for sure, if you are looking for something different than look no further than a harness.  For a lots of reasons, some of which being that its’ versatility is powerful because it can be worn over any style of top and/or dress.  It transcends all seasons.  Plus, it is the type of piece fashionistas look for!  If you are in need of harness outfit inspiration, feast your eyes on these looks with the Dominating Harness.
