The First Thing You Should Know About Your Wedding Guest Dress
So, you just got invited to a wedding after a long year of staying home. How do you find the perfect wedding guest outfit for this occasion? Let’s be real, it’s been a year of sweatpants and stretchy jeans. And now, it’s time to find an outfit to wear in public, but the fitting rooms in the stores are closed.
Have you ever put something on that didn’t look great but you didn’t know why? Sometimes we don’t have the verbiage to know why, but here is a secret.
It’s probably the color of your clothes. Color is the single most important element in an outfit. You have unique coloring and clothes are meant to compliment that coloring. If your clothes wear you into the room instead of vice versa, it’s time to update your colors.
