You know the drill. You open your closet to loads of beautiful clothes, and you still feel like you have nothing to wear. Whether the word to pinpoint this feeling is "uninspired" or "frustrated," having a few outfit formulas in your arsenal is an easy fix to this problem. Outfit formulas are literally formulas that you can use time and time again, with different pieces in the same cut and construction. i.e., this kind of top plus this kind of pant and this kind of shoe equals this easy outfit. The key to finding an outfit formula that works for you is to base it around a part of your body that you love. Like to show off your smile? Go for a statement necklace to draw attention upward. Prefer a plunging neckline? Opt for wrap tops or deep v-necks. Here are two very common formulas that work on many different body types, and for all sorts of occasions.

Maybe you're a winter person. But if you're anything like me, you can't wait to lounge in the sun and not have to worry about trudging through snow and slop. While you're dreaming of drinking pretty drinks on a beach somewhere, take some time to window shop for some luxe slides. Or maybe, actually shop. Slides are the new black. Or the new sandals. Or flats. Or whatever. About a year ago they were a trend that we lusted after on street style Instagram accounts and runways. But now they're more affordable and attainable than ever. They provide the ease of the flip flop with the luxurious style of a pump. Pair them with culottes, skirts, cuffed or raw edge jeans, or even shorts when styled the right way. Dress them up or down. Invest in a high quality slide or go with a trendy cheapie. However you want to wear them, hopefully these boards serve as a bit of inspiration. daytime casualZara black and white slides | RAYE tassle slides | Barneys New York red sandal slides | Topshop white blouse | Mango jeans | Topshop skirt | Lizzie Fortunato earrings | Furla bag | French Connection sweatshirt | Shashi Mackenzie choker | Her Curious Nature headband dressed upYou shouldn't have to feel like your winter wardrobe is an army of leggings/sweater uniforms. Get out of the funk and throw on a dress with a pair of tights and booties. Layer with a bomber or leather jacket for a cool-girl tough look, or belt a sweater at the waist for a more cozy ensemble. Dress it up with a statement necklace and blazer, or dress it down by layering it over a turtleneck. Dresses should be able to be a go-to just like your jeans, leggings, and crewnecks. With an array of options out there for you to try, remember to play to your strengths. Choose silhouettes that show off the best parts of you. Love your legs? Go for a mini. Rock that tiny waist with a fit and flare. Or draw attention upwards and to your face/smile with a deeper neckline.
