Balance- It Means Everything

What does balance have to do with fashion you might ask? Everything. Balancing your outfits to make them either stand out, or fall flat. It is so important to have a focal point- basically the thing that draws the most attention, and anchors the outfit. For example, if you're wearing a floral maxi skirt, that will be the focal point. It has pattern, and the accessories and blouse should be chosen around that. So then I could wear a plain colored shirt, and jewelry with hints of the colors in the skirt to make sure they match. The shoes depend on the occasion, and can be either dressed up or down. You could wear plain pumps or casual sandals to round out the total look. Make-up is also a huge factor in tying together your outfits. For instance, I work my eye make-up around the color palate in my clothes and accessories. When I'm wearing an edgier outfit with black and gold accents, I wear black and gold eyeshadow and bold black eyeliner to match the overall look of it. I would then go in with a nude/soft brown matte lip color to finish off the look. I hope this helps anyone who needs help with outfit making :)
