What to wear when you have "nothing to wear"

Sometimes fashion and I aren't always on the best terms. There are times when I walk into my wardrobe and there is NOTHING to wear (even though there is a wardrobe full of clothes in front of me).

These days are like giant pimples - they always happen when you have exciting plans or are too rushed to wave your magic concealer wand. Why they can't pop up when you were planning to spend the day sitting around at home watching netflix and eating junk food - I don't know!

So whether you were planning to go on a first date with a cute guy, or out to a restaurant with that one friend who always looks like they had an army of fashion experts prepare her for battle (aka Thursday night drinks), I've got your back!

The LBD
I know I know we've heard about the LBD being the perfect fallback a thousand times, but trust me, it's for good reason! The LBD says "I'm classy" and "I just threw this on" all at the same time without trying too hard! You can keep it stylish with a good pair of heels or funk it up with some cool sneakers and a bomber jacket. The most important thing to remember is buy an LBD that suits you! If you are going to wear it every time you have one of those 'I have nothing to wear days' you need to feel amazing in it - that means it should be tailored to your figure and accentuate your favourite parts of your body.

The Classic Jeans and Tee
Nothing says effortless chic like a good pair of jeans and a t-shirt! Throw a blazer over your shoulders, add a bold lip, tie your hair up in a ponytail and you are good to go!
And there are so many variations you can team these basics with, so have fun with your accessories and don't sweat the small stuff knowing that the foundation of your outfit looks flattering as f#@k!

Take Inspo From The Past
Or if you are still stuck for ideas then wear something you know you look badass in. Yes you won't be wearing a new combination of clothes, but you will still look incredible!
So think back to the last time you felt sexy and stylish, maybe scroll through your photos for some reminders, and revisit that outfit! However, if you're thinking about wearing the outfit you went clubbing in last Saturday to a job interview ... maybe go for a different past look.

Hopefully you keep these tips in mind the next time you are having one of those ugh fashion days!
Stay stylish my fashionistas!
