I am very excited to introduce my very first guest blogger on QUINNtessential: Emily Cox! Emily is one of my nearest and dearest friends who I look up to in many different areas of life- one of them being {fashion}! There is no one way to describe her fashion sense, but it is all her own and it's incredible. When I approached her with the idea of doing a guest post she accepted without hesitation. I was elated! So, without further adieu, it my great honor to introduce you to Emily!!!
(Simplifying Your Wardrobe: Advice from Emily}
Yesterday I took four bags of clothes to the Goodwill. FOUR BAGS. Ripping through my closet I tossed everything I hadn’t worn in a year in an effort to simplify my life and style.
A creative and visual person, I take a lot of pride in my personal fashion sense. My style is how I outwardly present myself to the world- and I am evolving. I am changing. I am growing. I am simplifying. As the world spins madly on, we have a million stressors- jobs, relationships, money, LIFE. Why add fashion to the list?
Simple style is tried and true. It always looks effortless, polished, and chic. A classic look can be updated by adding texture, modern cuts, or accessories that make a statement and allow your personal style to shine through.
If you are a self-proclaimed Queen of Patterns like myself, give simplicity a shot. You may be surprised to find that by taking it down a notch you can actually up-style both your look and life.
