Introduction

Nothing can probably compete with

your Pinterest boards when it comes

to inspirations; I know what

happens when I start pinning, I

spend hours.

But the thing is, if you´re facing a

sea of beautiful things and a bunch

of style ideas, you get overwhelmed

and you don´t know where to start.

You get drowned in a beautiful

world only to wake up unable to remember all those great ideas.

That´s how this book comes in, it will take you by the hand daily

with bits and pieces of style inspirations that are easy to digest and

achieve.

This eBook offers over ninety outfit ideas divided into thirty stand-

alone style advice to shake your wardrobe daily for a month. Take

one look at a time, recreate and inject your own personality. After

all, the best style advice one can ever give you is to “Be you. Be

confident on your own skin. Don´t be afraid to express yourself.”

Who am I? If you´ve been reading Creative Fashion for a while now,

you must know that I´m Glee, the founder and content creator of

the blog. I´m a high school Maths teacher and debate trainer turned

full-time fashion writer. I, together with my style contributor, Helen,

Day 1: Colored Fur Coat

A colored fur coat will carry you through the cold winter months

with a punch of bold. Sure we love lux fur toppers in neutral

shades, but securing at least one super star in your wardrobe

makes a big difference on days when you feel like taking the stage.

Work with bright pieces that complement each other. Try choosing

separates in different shades from the same family of color, and

then clash them with one or two colored accessory.

Think of how well a bright cover up sets the mood on a gloomy day.

You´re cozily and stylishly bundled up, ready to conquer the world.

Day 2: Bright Mini Skirt

Sheinside

Chiffon Skirt

$21

Alice &

Olivia

Although dark skirts are safe and easy to style, a cute bright skirt is

more fun to wear. In fact, they´re more versatile than you think.

Colored skirts blend nicely with other bright colors and they add a

nice pop of brightness to a monochrome ensemble.

Sweet and girly look. Mix an orange sleeved top with a pink

peplum mini skirt. Temper the brightness of your separates with a

beige pump and a bronze clutch.

Pretty and fashionable. Did you know that orange and sky blue

work well together? Try a light blue skirt with an orange fitted tee

worn tucked in, and then complete the look with animal print

pumps.

Day 3: Feminine Blush

Tibi Shoulder top, Dark Blush, Singer22, $179

Carven Angora Sweater, Shopbop, $520

Ramy Brook Allyn Pant, Singer 22, $179

Bebe Zimmermann Gown, Shopbop, $475

Soft and feminine, the blush hue – somewhere between pale pink

and champagne – is universally flattering and versatile. It´s an easy

way to make a bold statement, quietly. Generally considered ultra-

girlie, this hue can also come off as sophisticated, even edgy. It gives

you personality without being loud.

For cold days, look for a blush sweater to wear with black shorts

and black knee high leather boots. Or go even bigger by opting for a

blush tailored coat.

For summer, cotton sleeveless tops, mini-or maxi dresses, function

very well for a breezy ensemble. Dress them up with a jacket for

evening affairs.

Day 4: Fabulous Pants

Dress It Up

Hot Casual

Chicca

Lualdi Classic

Beeuqeen Cut

From a day at work to a night date, pants are your go-to basic, and

they go with everything for a whole lot of options.

Pants are acceptable everywhere – from work to public gatherings to

the streets of downtown – because they´re very comfortable, provide

great coverage, and for some cuts, make you look leggy.

Day 5: Denim

From skinny, boyfriend or distressed jeans to doing double denim,

it´s all about that comfortable, uncontrived and oh-so-sexy feeling

that denim gives best. Today, take your denim out of its elements,

beat the then fashion faux pas and adapt the new, trendy options.

Day 6: Sweet Floral Top

Sports Luxe Casual Chic

Dare to

Clash

Ditch those long flowing floral dresses, matching floral separates or

floral tops paired with dainty, very feminine skirts because today,

we´re speaking floral worn boldly, sportly and casually relaxed.

Grab your most vibrant floral top and style it in three different ways

– sports luxe, casual chic, and daring clash.

Day 7: Tall Boots and Skirt

Victoria Beckham Pippa Middleton

Katherine Heigl

Boots can quickly add elegance or casualness to your look

depending on the statement that you want to create and the type of

boots that you pick. Today, let´s mimic one of these three celebrity

outfits in tall boots and skirts.

Day 8: Black Jumpsuit

Maison Martin

Margiela

Color Blocking

Black is very easy to colorblock. Any bright color easily pops out

against black. There are three ways to do it – team your black

jumpsuit with a colorblock shoe, accessorize it with a colorblock

bag, or do colorblocking with single-colored accessories. This is the

perfect time to take advantage of the many cute and trendy, already-

colorblocked pieces.

Day 9: Printed/Patterned Fit and Flare

Dolce & Gabbana

Fit and flare dresses, whether vintage-inspired or modern take of

lace and leather, is a celebrity favorite. These nipped waist and high

volume skirts create curves that are forever flattering for any body

type.

If you´re someone with a narrow hip, this is the dress to give you

those perfect curves. If you’re voluptuous, take the mini skater

dress with skirt that isn´t too full.

Really, every girl should own a fit and flare dress.

Day 10: Learn to Match Accessories

The Daring

The Neutral

The Bold

Burberry

It´s easier to settle on black bags because you know that black will

match with anything. But did you know that tan, cream, gray, off

white, and even animal prints are neutrals? Invest on quality bags

that fit your lifestyle. With pops of color, of course.

If your outfit needs to stand out, the simplest way is to have a bold

colored, statement handbag. Try pairing an unexpected patterned or

multicolored handbag to your outfit. The punch will give your outfit

a more modern chic look. Anything unexpected creates a vibe of

trendsetter.

Day 11: Ankle Boots to Work

Ankle boots can be a little tricky when wearing them to work as they

can appear to be edgy and youthful. Be sure to pick simple and

appropriate ankle boots to wear to the office. Office-approved ankle

boots should be all one color, have a shorter heel and not have too

many embellishments. Since ankle boots stand out so much, be

sure to keep the rest of the outfit simple and clean.

Day 12: The Slim Belt

Monochrome outfits are great in lengthening your vertical line, they

make you look taller. But if worn as is, they tend to come off as dull

and plain. Besides, there are just too many (same) ways you can

wear them. To amp up a mono look, add a slim contrast waist belt.

It will emphasize your waist and smoothly add detail to the

ensemble.

Go for neutral slim belts – brown, black or leopard print – to

complete a bright colored, a printed monochrome, or a white combo.

In reverse, if you’re wearing a neutral frock, opt for colored or

patterned slim belts. Well, that´s the safe way to do it.

But if you love styling out of the box, then try experimenting with

colors. Nothing´s more intriguing than a bright dress cinched at the

waist with a clashing bright belt.

Day 13: Colored Cardigan

A cardigan is a very versatile piece of clothing. Don’t think of it as

what your grandma would wear. Think of a cardigan as a style

accessory that can turn a bland outfit into a fashion statement.

Cardigan has a sense of mystery. Many people cover up their “weak”

spots with ordinary tops and tees. But you? You cover them up with

a statement cardigan. Put Some Color On. Don´t get stuck in a

black and navy rut. Break out of your clothes rut by adding some

color to your outfit. And the easiest way to update an outfit is to add

a colored cardigan.

Go floral for springtime. Turn a floral cardigan into the perfect

trendy clothing with the right accessories. Don’t be afraid to use

color! For a casual outfit, a draped cardigan is a wonderful piece to

have. Belt around the cardigan or belt underneath the cardigan to

accentuate your natural curves.

creativefashionglee.com 30 Looks 16

Day 14: Black and White Mono

Moschino

A complete detour from shocking color pop, mono looks are

generally about black and white prints - from stripes to floral and

baroque patterns. Sure you can do the basic black and white

pairing of solid separates, but if you´re looking for more fun, try

working with monochrome patterns.

Wear it to business functions. Find a tailored baroque print trouser

to wear with a white collared top and throw over a black blazer. Go

chic and girly. Keep things classy and girly for a visit to the salon or

meeting up with your pals. Do double patterns – a dotted top

teamed with black and white floral skirt.

Day 15: Snake Print Heels

Snake skin heels are super trendy right now and are a fun take on

wearing animal print. They can also be a perfect way to ease into

wearing bold jungle prints if you are new to the trend. Snake skin

heels are a great investment since this trend carries on throughout

the year. Although snake skin pumps are a classic look, they can

border on trashy if not styled right.

Wear to work. Red snake skin heels definitely make a statement, so

keep the rest of the outfit classic and simple with a Little Black

Dress, solid black satchel and basic gold accessories.

Wear it casual. Try two snake skin pieces together. This can be

done if both the purse and pumps are of neutral tones. Give a pop

of color to the neutral elements through your jewelry.

Day 16: Safari Jacket

“Rustic in its rough-hewn flair, usually designed in near-weightless

cotton twill or a cotton/linen blend, dyed in a tan, mossy green, or

pale neutral tone, the safari jacket was an instant hit with the

stylishly sporty women.” ~ Lloyed Boston Before You Put That On

Safari jacket is a great way to give newness to your outfits. It

smoothly transitions you from spring to summer or summer to fall.

For days that leave you chilly today and sweating tomorrow, this

jacket beats it all.

The neutral look of a safari jacket is perfect to temper the boldness

of striking printed piece. The result would look polished if completed

with black accessories. For a relaxed take on safari jacket, team it

with cropped pants in bold color and trendy flats such as trendy

smoking slippers.

In case you don´t feel like carrying a bag, the host of roomy bellows

pockets can house everything – thin wallets, single keys, a lipstick,

chic mints – without adding bulk to your hips or chest. But if you´re

busty beware of the patch pockets on the chest, avoid stashing

things there to avoid unnecessary additional volume.

Day 17: Street Style Running Shoes

Nike Trainers

Nike Dark Gray Nike Free Run

For an edgy and casually chic ensemble, you need a casual little

black dress or a black tunic shirt, black moto jacket, black leather

shoulder bag, and a pair of worn out running shoes. Nip the waist of

your dress under the jacket with a slim belt to accentuate your

curve. Keep things dark but cute.

With a coat. Layer atop an LBD a brown single-breasted top coat

and finish with dark-colored running shoes. Add a great bag that

matches the vibe. Try layering of animal prints with other earthy

hues and teaming with black shorts. Avoid prints that clash,

instead, opt for wild prints in similar shade. The plain black shorts

will temper the striking prints. Opt for black trainers to keep your

laid-back look still polished.

Day 18: Peter Pan Collars

For Date For Brunch with the Gals

For Weekend For Work

Peter Pan collars create that retro, Audrey Hepburn vibe. This trend

gives the statement necklace a run for its money and is very

versatile.

For professional look. Pair a Peter Pan collared lace blouse with

classic trousers and pumps to make sure that you don´t look too

whimsical. As always, wear simple accessories that are appropriate

for the office.

Perfect for date night. Pair the boyish look with sexy boots and girly

accessories to remind your date how cute you are. Steer clear of big,

chunky necklace to avoid outfit confusion. A casual Peter Pan collar

look is perfect for running weekend errands while a smart Peter Pan

collar blouse is perfect for brunch with the girls as well as for the

office.

Day 19: Black and White Striped Jacket

Elie Saab

When it comes to work outfits, you think of pin stripe menswear

inspired blazer. But when it comes to versatility – a topper that

brings you from desk to date and even to the street – you lean on

the modern stripe jacket.

Monochromatic stripe blazer looks great with white – pants or skirt.

To have some touch of color, layer under your jacket a bright top.

Add another striking print to the look through your shoes; leopard

print pumps will really float out when paired with white.

Look fierce yet put together in a striped jacket teamed with black

leather skirt and black ankle boots. Soften the darkness of this look

with a nude top. Try clashing a vertical stripe jacket with a printed

dress for a fashion forward ensemble.

Day 20: Printed Dresses in Winter

Band of

Outsiders

Did you know that you can transition your printed summer dresses

to fall and winter? Yes, you can. And it´s all about layering!

Go through your maxi dresses and see which is the thickest; you

probably can make a winter layering for it. Long-sleeved long

dresses are more favorable. Layer beneath (or on top of) the dress a

fitted pullover and wear thick tights to keep you cozy under. Then

wrap up with a fur vest or jacket and slip into a pair of flat riding

boots.

A military jacket is perfect to cozy up a printed high-low or midi

dress. Again, wear a stretchable fitted sweater over your dress, add

black tights and black riding boots, then accessorize with a fur scarf

or cowl.

Day 21: Peep-toe Heels in Fall

Peep-toe shoes for summer? Check. Peep-toe shoes for fall? Uhm,

not sure. Oh wait, why not?

Most days in early fall are relatively warm so you can still go bare-

legged. Try a cute peep-toe look with leopard print. Teamed with a

short top and a black skater skirt, the outfit is a picture of youth.

Add vibrancy through your bag or other accessories.

For relatively cool days, go for an ivory sweater with pleated maxi

skirt and peep-toe (snake print, if possible) pumps. But colder days

call for warmer and cozier layering such as knit sweater dress and

leather jacket, thick black tights, and peep-toe half boots. You can

either keep things neutral or inject a pop of color with a bright

handbag.

Day 22: Tutu Skirt

Carrie Bradshaw´s tutu skirt is arguably the most copied Sex and

the City´s look. According to its TV show stylist, she wanted to

create a look which depicts a normal everyday style but something

whimsical. The outfit is said to be the cheapest that Carrie ever

wore.

The rule of balance. A tutu skirt has a lot of volume which can add

you width. Balance the volume with a sweater in pastel hue to keep

the look soft and feminine.

Choose the right tutu skirt. The skirt can easily border to a cheer

leading outfit so make sure to choose a tutu with class. It should

flatter your shape and it shouldn´t be too long, unless otherwise

you´re wearing it to a wedding.

Be whimsical. If you find the perfect ruffled or tiered tutu skirt,

make sure to have it in a sweet, neutral color such as beige, cream,

or nude. This will go well with a printed or colored top.

Day 23: Polka Dot

Have you tried wearing polka dot sweater in fall? There are many

ways to style a dotted sweater – with boyfriend jeans and nude

ankle boots, or with mini skirt toughened by thigh high socks and

over the knee combat boots, but literally … with anything. You can

also work a dotted blazer with leather shorts or skater skirt.

In clashing a polka dot pattern with another pattern, be sure that

there´s harmony in the mix. For example, two pieces in black and

white mono print will blend well if they have the same color.

Moreover, a refine, tiny pattern will complement a larger pattern if

they have hues from the same family of colors.

Day 24: The Modern Tweed Jacket

Feminine Yet Powerful Young At Heart

Carven

Tweed jacket is your grandpa´s touching and worthwhile legacy –

thick, warm, good quality, and very personal gift.

For young women who are at the prime of life, give the tweed jacket

a new twist; wear it over a flirty gorgeous mix – printed mini skirt

teamed with double layer pullover and cardigan. Put on a large

detachable fur cowl neck to make your jacket look as if it comes

with fur. Add a tonal shoulder bag such as this cute black and gray

taupe satchel. To keep things surprising, opt for Mary-Jane pumps,

it´s both stylish and comfortable.

For women who have done it all, echo your confidence in this

feminine yet professional look. Pair a silk and lace top with a sleek

black pencil skirt and pull together with a tweed jacket. The peek of

lace and silk under a tailored, very polished look showcases the girly

side of you. Finish with a pair of killer black platform pumps that

everyone is gushing about.

Day 25: Crazy and Bright Pattern Mix

If you love expressing yourself in bright colors and striking fabulous

patterns, then you must love Anna Sui and Kate Spade. These

designers are masters of crazy color combinations and they ace the

pattern clash trend.

Though the shades may vary, vibrant yellow is always a hit color for

spring and summer. Add a dose of bright yellow print to an all-

yellow solid mix.

Team a green tee with a floral print skirt which has green, blue and

other bright colors in it. Play up the look with colored accessories in

hues that are taken from the print. Don´t match your accessories.

Try mixing polka dots with other prints or mixing lace with sweet

pink pieces.

Day 26: Cutout Trend

Missing fabric in a cloth is one of the season´s hottest trends!

Cutouts have been eminent not only on the runways but even at the

red carpet parties. But if you´re one who prides of your polished

elegant style, you probably give this trend a second thought because

the cut away details of most pieces are rather too revealing if not

trashy.

Look for pieces with subtle cutouts, they´re usually cute while still

wholesome. Pick a vibrant long sleeve dress with vertical cut aways

in back, an evening frock with cute cutout feature in the bodice, a

sports luxe midi dress with cutout on the belt area, or a sequined

turtle neck top with shoulder cutouts to team with leather skinnies

and black ankle boots. You´ll ace the trend without compromising

modesty.

Day 27: High Waist Flare Jeans

Luxurious Happy Casual

Victoria

Secret

Modern Vintage Glamorous

Incredibly flattering and gorgeous are high-waist flares because they

give the illusion of more length. They look their best with high heels

(a must for petite) or bold flats (for tall girls). Nothing in between, no

kitten heels. This fashion-forward alternative is often worn belted for

waist emphasis. They need to fit right with no gap in the waist,

crotch or butt area.

A pair of colored high-waist flare jeans, especially if dark red, is very

elegant. It requires only little and fewer colors to create a luxe look.

Because of the snag nature of high-waist flare, choose a crop

printed blouse to go with the jeans for a fresh casual combo.

Black high-waist flare jeans worn with a classic white button-down

shirt create a vintage inspired statement. Show your modern side by

adding trendy accessories. If you want to go Hollywood glam, pick a

tailored, patterned jean to partner with stunning separates and

striking accessories.

Day 28: Lightweight Shirts & Print Skirts

White button-down shirts partnered with khaki, navy or black

pencil skirts are overdone! Throw in some fun, match a comfy-to-

the-skin lightweight shirt, long or short-sleeved, or even sleeveless,

with a pass-port worthy printed skirt – from tropical to animal – for

some heat refined silhouettes. Polish your tanned bare legs with

sexy pumps or sandals and carry a cute clutch a`la Kate Middleton.

A tonal floral peplum skirt partnered with an embellished woven

shirt create dimension. An ivory shirt is perfect to highlight or

complement your skin tone.

White lightweight button-down shirt and tropical print pencil skirt

will bring you from business to cocktail parties. Roll up the sleeves

and wear tucked in.

Day 29: Lace and Crochet

Fall 2013

Lace and crochet are classic patterns that are great on girls of any

age. Whether it´s on trimmed denim, sleeve knit top, or dress, these

patterns are a must in everyone´s wardrobe.

Intricate crochet, feminine lace and delicate adornments never fail

to seduce every season. They´re sprinkled on denim or non-textured

pieces in summer or they´re adorned as necklaces on lightweight

tops and airy dresses. Then they´d come back with full force in fall

and winter, all over lace on dresses and jumpsuits that are meant to

be worn with boots.

For sunny days, pair dark blue high waist shorts with cream floral

lace t-shirt and espadrilles, or opt for black contrast crochet

collared top with cap sleeves to wear with boot cut denim jeans and

wedges. For cold days, clash a girly lace dress with a moto leather

jacket or a military jacket complete with black pointed toe ankle

boots.

Day 30: Fashionable Go-to Outfits

Time Saving Stylish Outfit Surefire Combination

Your closet must have a handful of time-saving, fast style outfits for

different occasions. For times when you´re vulnerable or if you´re

dressing up under time pressure, these go-to selections will save

you, never to jeopardize your style.

Disclosure: The ideas of these six looks were lifted from John

Lloyd´s, Before You Put That On: 365 Daily Style Tips for Her, my go-

to inspiration manual. I love the random ideas that John provided

in his book. If you haven´t read it yet, then let this be a sneak peek.

Read the original blog post here.

Timesaving, stylish outfit combination. When the season calls for

spring colors, this outfit will save you time while keeping things

stylish. Choose one standout spring color to style up with a mix of

elegant neutrals.

Go for a bright, spring-color sleeveless sweater (V-neck, turtle, or

Surefire combination for winter. Towards the end of winter, the

clock seems to jump ten minutes ahead every time. Now is the time

to get to wear your last winter look before you ditch those heavy

wears. If you can´t seem to create a final, original outfit, opt for this

trusted combination. Remember, you can create your own version of

this with whatever you already have in your closet, not necessarily

in exact colors.

Mix a winter turtleneck with winter white trousers, flat loafers or

moccasins in a bold color, chunky leather belt with bold buckle,

sporty tote bag, and a quilted three-quarter-length jacket, collar up.

Black and Navy Sweet Retro

Black and navy. A surefire, safe outfit can also speak of European

flair and a fashion runway sensibility. While teaming black with

navy seems too dark, the trick in rocking these intentionally coupled

darks is wearing a balance amount of each. Chic women in Paris

and Italy knew for long how modern and sophisticated is the result

of this pairing if done right.

trends, from swimsuit to dresses and skirts. But whether many girls

are rocking retro or not, you can always make a take on this classic

style any time you feel like putting on a fresh color combination and

1970s. This ensemble has timeless appeal, like a scoop of

Neopolitan ice cream, “with its rich stripe of chocolate, strawberry,

and vanilla flavors”.

“You just have to decide what you feel most confident in, because

confidence is what makes people sexy. You have to be you but don’t get

stuck.” ~ Jennifer Lopez

"The media plays such a big role in how women measure themselves

against other women, so I can be in a position where I can say beauty

comes from within, we're not all perfect, and the covers of magazines are

of course retouched. We do not look like that." ~ Kate Winslet
