It’s true you need a physical fashion guide for fall.
I kinda made it up but I think you’ll be very happy you have one.
Let’s Get Into It
What is a “physical fashion guide”
Think fashion picture book but it’s of you!
Photos of previous looks, outfits you want or can’t decide on how to style, you need a fashion BOOK!
What do you need
I made mine from scratch but all you need a notebook, it can be lined, blank, or even a dot grid style.
Magazines for clothing inspiration, photos of your current style, potential outfit pieces and accessories.
The book could feature drawings, so maybe grab some markers and pens. It can feature stickers, cut outs and other gems that make the book tailored more towards your style and aesthetic.
What to include
Your fashion book needs an introduction about you.
The first couple pages
Should feature looks you currently wear, and pieces in your closet that you already own.
The next couple pages
Think of it like the wishlist section. A few pieces from archival magazines of throw back styles, modern fashion looks and of course items that scream, “I WOULD TOTALLY WEAR THAT”.
On top of envisioning yourself in those items. Make a paper version of you and dress her up!
Just giving you some inspo.
The rest of the book
Freeestlye it! Make collages of outfits, asesthetics, watch a fashion show and take notes.
Read a book, take notes, add them.
The next pages are up to you.
Make them groovy.

Why do you need one
You need a physical fashion guide that’s all about you because it will give you the opporitunity to create something that is unique to you, personalized and features attributions that reasonate with you.
I feel that a lot of times when we read books, we can’t relate. Especially fashion books that are often written with European undertones.
This is an opportunity for you to define and create your own style guide that is relatable to you, your story and culture.
Why haven’t you made one yet?
Exactly!
