SHOPPING FOR YOUR LIFESTYLE
DRESS | SUNGLASSES | EARRINGS | NAME NECKLACE | SIMILAR HANDBAG | SIMILAR BOOTIES
I was unsure about this purchase, it was my first order from MissGuided and I wasn’t fully committed to the dress. When it arrived and I tried it on I liked it but when I wore it …. I LOVED it!!! It’s insanely soft and cozy, perfect for a winter look. The cut and colorblocking make this dress chic and on trend however, it feels like a blanket hugging you on a cold day.
Why did I purchase a dress I wasn’t 100% sure about? Well, first it was online so I had to purchase so I could try it on and find out. Secondly, an oversized sweater dress fits perfectly into my lifestyle.
When you’re shopping only purchasing pieces that fit into your lifestyle is key. This is why we apply The Rule of 5, if you can’t think of 5 ways to wear something with items you already own with that item it doesn’t fit into your lifestyle. If an item doesn’t fit into your lifestyle you will NOT wear it!
Because I love an oversized anything in Fall/Winter especially an oversized dress (year around really) I knew it was something I’d wear running errands, out to brunch and with the right accessories to an event.
I’ve worn this dress with these booties, vans, OTK boots and flat moto boots.
When shopping and you’re applying The Rule of 5 simultaneously think of where you’re wearing those 5 looks. NOT imaginary places like events, unplanned vacations, etc. Think of real places you go on a monthly, weekly, daily basis. Those are the pieces and looks you’re actually going to wear. Those are the items that fit your ACTUAL lifestyle not your make believe one.
