Sometimes simple is best

Now because the concept behind mylookbook.com.au is not about fashion forecasting or what is hot on the catwalks right now (we won’t be able to wear that stuff for another 6 months anyway)... We’re all about inspiring you with what you can wear today, and if you don’t have it – where you can get your hands on it right now!

Often I get completely un-inspired mid-season, especially mid-winter. Looking inside my wardrobe I hate just about everything I see. Items that I purchased at the beginning of the season no longer have their appeal & it seems every combination I put together feels daggy & old.

Being constantly inundated with images of celebrities wearing all their cutting edge trends and looking oh so stylish and fashionable, we forget about how fantastic the classic items that we all have in our wardrobe are. I would thus like to thank classic style queens such as Jennifer Anniston for reminding me that a simple pair of jeans, a basic tee and a great bag can always look just as amazing as any Sienna, Nicole or Mary-Kate super fashionable get up.

I’m not saying you never need to shop again - I’m about to puchase online a gorgeous Urban Originals leather bag (it will definitely complete my classic jeans & tee outfit). I’m just debating on which colour as the “camel” colour has been reduced to half price $169 (was $340). I’ll just point out to my husband how much I’m saving by being able to update my wardrobe without buying more clothes!

Anyway, my point is (this week anyway, until Rachel, Sienna or Mary-Kate wears some amazing outfit that I need to replicate), is to not forget that classic & simple can look and feel great. Just add a fantastic statement bag, colourful scarf, or stylish jacket to your jeans & tee combo and you have completely transformed your outfit into a chick, edgy and modern masterpiece.

Here’s some inspiration!
