It's a Cinch

I once heard a fashion insider make the following statement in regards to deciding what to wear...

"It's a cinch - When you can't decide what to wear, 
just put on three of your favorite pieces and 
you're bound to come up with a look you love." 

I decided to put her practice to work when lately, with being focused on so many other happenings in my life (ahem - A Place Called Peace), I was actually stumped on what to present on the blog. So I decided to pull the 'favorite three' trick and grabbed my favorite white button-up, royal blue midi, and my sandals of the year. To give the look an added punch, I tied the three pieces together by cinching my waist with an awesome cummerbund styled belt from Anthropologie. I hope you enjoy the look as much as I enjoyed wearing it!


Outfit Details - White Button-up with Puff Sleeves: Anthropologie (Cute Puff Sleeve top from ROMWE); Custom made royal blue midi skirt (Blue Midi by Catherine Malandrino other blue midi skirts on Shopstyle); Cummerbund Fabric Cinch Belt: Anthropologie (Sold Out. Cummerbund belt at Amazon Fashion); Tie-up Sandals by Bernardo Vintage Couture (Tie-up Sandals at Topshop)


 
  


 

Am I happy with the results of the 'favorite three' concept in dressing? Yes, I'm very pleased. What was created, surprisingly had a touch of all three of my fashion personalities - the Classic, the Bohemian or Southwestern, combined with a touch of Quirk. It's a cinch to create ensembles in this fashion, as long as you're wardrobe consists of items you love and represent who you are {wink}

  1. I never thought to do this. It makes a lot of sense, and I suspect it helps if a lot of wardrobe items go with a lot more wardrobe items! I try to shop deliberately so everything new goes with much of what I have. So I'm going to give this concept a try!

    1. I agree with you Karen - it helps to have many wardrobe items that go together. I also shop deliberately buy selecting items which will go with three things I already own. It makes for a perfectly curated closet.

  2. Glenda, you look gorgeous. I love a classic white button down shirt and they always look great with just about anything. I love how you paired yours with a bold cobalt blue and balanced it with neutral sandals. Perfection. I really love those sandals and they look very comfortable

    1. Thank you LV! I have really taken a liking to the cobalt blue over the past years. I accumulated quite a few items in this color. There's something about wearing cognac with white and royal. It looks delicious together.

    2. I went into Anthropologie in Vancouver in July. But it was the time of the sales, and I am no good in sales times. So I quickly went out again. And my hopes were so high.

  6. There is something rather Audrey Hepburn in Italy about this. Blue is your color!
