Spring is the perfect time to refresh your home. Many companies are launching new lines

Ever find yourself stumped trying to get ready to head out the door for the day, an event or a trip?

Happens all the time to the best of us.

But when you’re standing there looking at the growing pile of castoffs on your bed, it’s beyond frustrating.

The clock is ticking.

You’re not ready.

You hate everything in your closet.

Worse, nothing looks good that you try on.

You start telling yourself it’s no use. You’ll just stay home. Or wear the same black pants and cardigan again.

All the way out the door you’re telling yourself you just don’t get it. You shop all the time, your closet is full and you still struggle every time you go somewhere.

Wait.

Next time you have an event coming up, use my simple style tips to divide and conquer:

• Plan your outfit in advance. Consider locale, weather, footwear requirements and how long you’ll be at the event, work or trip. If you need something to complete a look, shop at least two days before the event.

• Prepare your outfit. Make sure it’s clean, pressed and hanging together on a separate hook so you don’t get distracted when it’s go-time.

• Use my Rule of Three. Three garments will always make an outfit look and feel finished. For example, pants, top, jacket. Dress, cardigan, belt. Scarf, skirt, blouse. Your outfit might feel off because it’s not complete. Three garments creates symmetry and looks complete.

Creating an eye-catching, comfortable outfit that makes you feel like a million bucks is like decorating a room. There’s proportion, scale, balance and color to take into account.

If you plan in advance, use the Rule of Three and even try on your outfit the day before, I guarantee you’ll have a much easier time and feel way less stressed and bummed your next outing.
