Here’s the Trick to Pulling Any Outfit Together
July 4, 2025

Okay, I know I have shared this tip with you before, but now I’m spotting it in every mail order catalog I see. It can be found on page 58 of our book, QUINTESSENTIAL STYLE. Take a look at these pictures and tell me what they all have in common. I know you know this!

OF COURSE, IT’S THE BOTTOMS UP RULE FOR DRESSING!

An easy formula for creating a stunning outfit every time. You simply choose a necklace (or scarf) that is the same color as the color you are wearing on your lower half and voila! Instant style.

I know, I know. I published a blog on this idea back in 2019, but in case you forgot.

Naturally, I think we always want to coordinate our accessories with the top we are wearing,(and that’s fine), but you can see how a “bottoms up” approach can add a little more panache to an outfit.

Here are a few more photos:

So, if you own a pair of white pants, do you own a white necklace?

If you own a pair of black pants, do you own a black necklace?

If you own a pair of blue jeans, do you own a denim colored necklace?

These are not trick questions, ladies.

Just a refresher on a style tip you might have forgotten.

There’s nothing more to say here, except I love my readers.

Sincerely, Sharon
