Update your wardrobe
By: Khadijah Williams
It’s about that time ladies and gents! To clean those closets and make-up bags OUT. I know it’s hard to let go of things that you’ve been holding on to for ages, maybe it has sentimental value, or is just an old favorite of yours. But, trust me it’s time to take things in a new direction. The weather is changing, and who doesn’t love to clean their closets out anyway?! It’s a fun yet tedious tasks. But with my step by step guide you’re sure to be just fine!
LADIES:
I beg of you please dump your make-up bag out and start eliminating TODAY! You can’t hold on to those cosmetics FOREVER! They may not come with an expiration date, but that stuff is NOT only dated but it harbors LOADS of germs and bacteria. For example, MASCARRS this is the one thing that you most certainly should replace; mascara after three months or sooner! That’s why it gets so clumpy. It’s also a NO-NO to pump the wand that just pushes the bacteria down in the tube. This may cause bacteria to be transported to the eye. Makeup artist know better they should use disposables in most cases anyway! Lipstick you can hold on a little longer, but if it has a peculiar smell TOSS IT! Any foundations that start to separate TOSS also, it’s no good. I don’t want to babble on too much about the makeup! So let’s move on to the clothes, trench coats are refined this season and timeless! Give them a try in a great neutral. Who doesn’t love das dukes shorts?! Keep the shorts at a presentable length and just have fun with it! Pair it with your favorite fancy tee, and some shoes that’ll add height in a bright or nude color for example.
GENTS:
There’s no single way to wear the double-breasted jacket fellas! Try it, it’s a great way to dress up an outfit, and try it in the form of a tailored fit. Square Framed Wayfarer Shades are worth a try as well guys! Try a woven leather belt in chocolate brown, and pair it with navy blue. NEVER mix brown and black. These are very mature colors, for mature men! I hope this way helpful to you all, let me know what you think HERE!
