Developing A Look - the process a person conducts in order to elaborate a specific style, garment or accessory to create a finished fashion look.  "Developing a Look" is an art form.   On any random day I could spend days, hours, minutes or even seconds developing a clients look or my own personal look.  I believe the ability to Develop A Look is a God-given gift, one that flows through with me ease, one that I am determined to use to bless the world.  Sounds pretty serious huh? Lol! So today I wanted to list the steps I use to develop a look and I how used those steps to create the below look:

1. Know the Purpose of Your Look -  

Work Outfit 

2. Start with an Inspiration Piece - 

My hair style. Since my hair style involved color, I wanted the outfit to consist of  basic colors allowing my hair, jewelry & accessories to serve as my accent pieces.  

3. Select a Foundation Piece - 

Black halter dress

4. Build Your Look - 

Since this was a work outfit, I needed to cover my arms and back.  Therefore I selected a blue jean shirt and tied the shirt at the waist.  Which allowed the shirt to cover my arms/back but not the complete dress, giving the dress the illusion of a skirt.  

5.  Accessorize the Look - 

I added a statement piece necklace, earrings, bracelet and purse.

Here the results...what do you think?
