Okey folks, let’s turn this Tuesday’s article into a quick one on how to make small changes in your fashion choices and thereby change your style. Nothing too major, but something that will inject more energy in your fashion(able) life and keep things interesting. Here’s how to change your style 2018:

Change Your Style 2018
A New Print
If you have a go-to print you always turn to (hello stripes!), you can choose to wear a similar print instead. For instance, if you love the paisley print – try a floral print in the same, typical, colors as one of the paisley. If you like dots, you might enjoy leo print too. If you’re a fan of zebra print, you’ll surely like the stripes! See how it goes? You take a print you enjoy, find it in a similar style and choose the new look. It’s a small change indeed, but it’s about keeping things interesting and never dull!
Darker or Lighter
I’m sure you have some go-to colors too. They either might be the classic basic with grey, black and white making the most out of your wardrobe. They might also be more casual with beige, camel and cream white being your trio to rely on. Well, whatever your colors of choice are – dare to go darker or lighter. If you always turn to your black coat, perhaps it’s an idea to try a grey coat? Or if you already work the light grey coats, why not try a camel coat? It’s about staying within your style, but changing what colors you heavily rely on. If you want to step up the game and talk about the popping colors, the same rule is applicable but you think of fall colors/pastel colors instead. If you love your forest green shade, there’s a chance you enjoy a light pastel green. A hot pink and a baby pink is a cute match and so is mustard yellow and baby yellow. The best part about changing your color preferences on the scale is that the opposing colors are great for a monochromatic look. As they are from the same color they’ll look united but as the intensity is different, they’ll contrast and create a dynamic look. Well, it’s worth a try!
Find A New Staple
I keep going on about the fashion resolutions 2018, but this one is major if you want to change your style. Finding a new staple can seriously change your wardrobe game. For me it was a defining moment in my fashion life when I discovered the jumpsuits. Now I have a new piece I always can rely on, know how to style and works with my wardrobe. Perhaps that staple for you is a denim jacket, cigarette pants or a light blue shirt! The most important thing is that it’s a piece for you. From there on, you have a new clothing piece that matches your style and give you an (almost) indefinite amount of ways you can style it with the clothes you already have. And even if you invest in a new clothing piece, it’s an act of sustainable development as the amount of outfits in your wardrobe increases notably. And that my friends is what finding a new staple is about!
Folks! How do you want to change your style 2018? Are you doing it by the small actions or are you taking on a whole new style? Let’s chat in the comments!
I think a new print and new staples are cool. I’m trying to re-wear all the stuff I own to mix it up!

That’s great though! It’s all about styling! Xx
What I do as well I get a new brooch every season. I am collecting brooches and loving to buy them. So I set myself a limit of getting only one each season, otherwise I can say bye bye to all my money, haha

This year, I want to play more with prints and mix and match them. I have so many printed clothes but I always pair them with white or black.

Oh well then that’s a great way to start mixing the prints! Xx
I love this post! Last year I wore a ton of florals which I’m actually quite sick of seeing now hahah. I would love to play more about with polka dots since I think they look so timeless and classic which I feel is where my style is heading towards <3
Hahah oh no, I’ve worn a lot of florals too and I hope I never grow tired of them, lol hahah. The polka dots loooks timeless indeed, would love more of that! Xx
These are great ideas! I’ve actually started to incorporate the first one. I’m really into tiger stripes right now, which is new (to me). You’ve got me thinking about lightening up my wardrobe as well. Have a lovely day Lady!

Glad you do! Xx
I can imagine what an impact finding a new wardrobe staple would have on a wardrobe; you can start to build new outfits around that piece and broaden horizons by doing so – great advice!! This year, I’ve started to work more colour, textures and sheer volume into my wardrobe, to break free of that winter monochrome, dark cycle I’ve been in haha (oops!). Have an amazing week!!

I love how you’ve begun incorporating more colors, you work them so well babe! Still crushing on your faux fur jacket in colors, so so pretty! Xx
You really speak out of my heart Mia ? I was just recently thinking to incorporate some different prints to spice up the look. I’ve seen so many pictures and I really love the outcome. I really need to get that shopping done! Have a fab week darling

Haha yay, I’m glad we match! That’s so good, can’t wait to see what you’ll come up with! Xx
Hey there! Hope you’re having an awesome week 😀
Thanks for sharing this useful guide with us, actually this is like an implicit resolution for every new year for me, fashion is offering a lot of lately that not to try new things will be dummy, you don’t need to change the essence of your style but adding new things (like the options you’re mentioning here) you can always feel fresh and renewed!
Excited to see how you’re gonna cover the Fashion month 😀
Best and I’m gonna read the other posts I missed!
Right?! Just adding a staple or two will make a huge difference for your wardrobe. It’s about the small things! Haha yay, glad you’re excited! Xx
Loving this! There’s no reason why we can’t shift our styles a bit, right? I’m trying to step up my casual outfit game – going to give bandanas a try maybe. A new staple always helps!
