I find that when I love my outfit, and I feel like the best dressed walking down the street (even if it is to Waitrose), my mood is better, I feel more confident and I’m all round happier. There is something to be said for dressing to impress and today I wanted to share with you some tips I’ve learnt for always creating an elegant outfit. When I talk about dressing to impress, I don’t just mean what other people think of your look. I’m focusing on how you feel in what you are wearing. After all, if you feel elegant in your gym gear, it’s going to look better than someone who feels horribly uncomfortable in a ball gown. At the end of the day, attitude shows! Regardless, there are a few little things to keep in mind when creating a chic look. Since we are getting ready to welcome summer, I’m going to focus these tips on creating a trendy, yet elegant summer outfit, that will guarantee you’re the best dressed woman in the room every time. Who’s ready?

1. Don’t be afraid of statements
There is something great about adding that extra touch or statement detail to your outfit. More often than not that is what will set your look aside from the rest. For this look, my Chriselle Lim Collection dress has an adjustable slit. Depending on the occasion I can raise or lower it and it really can make a statement while still being subtle and elegant. Another great way to make a statement is by rocking the latest trends of the season; you can read all about the ones I think that are worth wearing right here.

2. Focus on accessories
Accessories are another way to add a statement to your look, but also a great way to compliment your entire look. If you decide to wear jeans and a t-shirt it simply looks casual. Add in a chic pair of pumps, a beautifully shaped bags and some cat eye sunglasses and your outfit has just gone from casual to elegant. Never underestimate the power of good accessories. On that note, your accessories don’t have to be designer to achieve that luxe look. I’ve linked to a more affordable version of my shoes that will still give you that elegant effect.

3. Natural is Key
I always think that there is something to be said for a natural makeup look. I always find that it’s much more elegant to look like you have a natural glow. I like to keep my makeup to the minimal with concealer and a bit of blush and a beautiful lipstick. If you’re on the hunt for a timeless nude lipstick, you can check out my post on it here.
