A Piece of the Puzzle

"What would I wear this with?" It's a question we hear a lot at Boutique. But allow me to shift your perspective... each piece of apparel that hangs or sits in your closet is just a piece to a puzzle that you'll put together every day. Mix and match, play, make mistakes (no one will see them but you,) create a masterpiece. The days of must-match are thankfully behind us, which gives you license to experiment. Take pictures of the out-of-the-box ensembles you put together. Even the looks that you don't like will help you exercise your fashionista side. Try to diagnose what about the outfit doesn't work, and be willing to dust yourself off and try again. Remember, this is suppose to be fun!
