Many find this quote to be strange coming from Coco Chanel, since she was known for her many strands of pearls and mountains of bracelets. However, Chanel had skill when it came to accessories and while she may have been dripping in jewelry, it never was too much.
My weakness is accessories, and I often look back at an outfit post and feel that I over-accessorized. Thinking about last weekās Food for Thought quote and this one, itās proof that less is often times more. Lately, I have been following Coco Chanelās advice, and taking a final glance in the mirror and removing something. Maybe itās the bold lipstick, sometimes itās the necklace, often itās one of my many bracelets. Just like casually messy hair, a lip stain with otherwise fresh face, or that perfectly slouchy Rick Owens dress, thereās beauty and such style in being a little less ādone.ā
Before you leave the house this weekend, try Chanelās advice and see what you think. You may find that paring down your fashion may increase your personal style!
