How to put it together

  1. 1

    Select a cohesive color palette (such as pastels, earthy tones, or vibrant retro hues) to anchor your entire look.

  2. 2

    Source your base garments, prioritizing unique silhouettes like pleated skirts, oversized collars, or structured blazers.

  3. 3

    Style your hair using classic Pinterest trends like soft waves, space buns, or sleek bubble braids secured with colorful elastics.

  4. 4

    Apply your makeup, focusing on a clean base with a standout feature like graphic eyeliner, faux freckles, or face gems.

  5. 5

    Add your curated accessories, ensuring your jewelry, bag, and hair pieces complement rather than clutter the outfit.
