The Art of Outfit Creation: It's Easier Than You Think!

Creating a fantastic outfit isn't about having endless clothes; it's about knowing how to make the most of what you have. Here are some of my favourite tricks:

1. The "Third Piece" Rule: Your Secret Weapon!

   • This is a game-changer! If you've got a top and bottom on, consider adding a "third piece" to pull the whole look together.
   • Examples: A stylish blazer, a cool denim jacket, a chic cardigan, or even a statement scarf. This simple addition instantly makes an outfit look more intentional and polished.
   • Created By Lau connection: Think about how a bold, unique Created By Lau brooch could be that "third piece" on a simple jacket, adding a pop of personality and colour!

2. Play with Layers & Textures:

   • Layers aren't just for warmth! They add depth, interest, and dimension to your outfit.
   • Mix it up: Combine different textures like a chunky knit over a silk slip dress, or a crisp cotton shirt under a flowy linen vest. The contrast makes things visually interesting.
   • For the boho babe: Think fringed kimonos, delicate lace tops under structured jackets, or a soft, handcrafted fibre necklace over a sleek top.

3. Master the Mix-and-Match (Your Wardrobe Clarity Pay-Off!):

   • Remember all that decluttering and focusing on versatile pieces? Now's when it pays off!
   • Try pairing unexpected items: dress down a silk skirt with trainers and a graphic tee, or elevate jeans with a beautiful blouse and heels.
   • The key: Don't be afraid to experiment. Your wardrobe should be a playground, not a battlefield!

4. The Power of the Pop: Where Your Jewellery Shines!

   • This is truly where your unique style takes centre stage. You’ve got those amazing foundational pieces, now it's time to let your Created By Lau jewellery do the talking!
   • Make it the focal point: If you're wearing a relatively simple outfit, let a bold, unique necklace be the star. Choose a vibrant resin pendant or a striking textile art piece that draws the eye and adds instant personality.
   • Curate your wrist: Stack a couple of different Created By Lau bracelets (maybe a polymer clay cuff with a delicate chain) for an eclectic, stylish look.
   • Earring magic: A pair of statement earrings can instantly transform your face and elevate even the simplest top. My pieces are designed to be noticed, to be conversation starters, to be truly you.
   • Welded Bonds: Don't forget about your Welded Bonds by Created By Lau permanent jewellery! A dainty, stylish chain custom-welded to you is the ultimate subtle statement – a personal bond that adds an everyday touch of unique sparkle, effortlessly complementing any outfit you choose to create.

Own Your Style, Own Your Day!

Elevating your everyday style isn't about being perfect; it's about being intentional and feeling confident in who you are. With a curated wardrobe and the right styling tricks, you'll be able to create outfits that not only look fabulous but also authentically represent your bold, stylish self.

Step out each day knowing your outfit tells your unique story, and that you're supporting a small, handmade business (me!) who pours heart into every single piece, just for you!
