If you’ve been following my blog for a long time, you know that for years I said, “I’m not a fashionista!”
I felt so inept when it came to putting together cute outfits and I felt like anytime anyone complimented me on my outfit, I needed to apologize for someone or deflect the compliment by saying something like, “Oh this shirt?? I just pulled it out at the last minute and I don’t really like it.” Or, “Thanks, but I don’t really know this dress is my style.”
I said these things because I felt so insecure about my ability to put outfits together and I constantly second-guessed myself. When I realized how much I was doing this and how much I wished I could figure out how to put cute outfits together, I finally decided to do something about it.
- I started paying attention to what I liked. I began noticing outfits that other people wore that I liked and started a mental checklist of what my tastes were. I also poked around on Pinterest and Instagram and paid attention to simple and frugal outfits that other people posted that I liked.
- I gave myself permission to try new things. I let myself actually buy some new styles and colors — to try out and see what I thought.
- I learned about what outfit formulas were. I joined a program that taught me about outfit formulas and how to put together outfits — and then it gave you a few weeks of outfit formulas to follow and experiment with.
- I kept experimenting and paying attention. I surprised myself so much by loving the outfit formula program and being challenged to follow the formulas. I even got brave and posted pictures of my outfits for almost an entire month on social media and learned so much from seeing the photo of myself and hearing feedback from you all. It helped me to define what I like, it helped me to realize a lot of things I was doing wrong, and to figure out what was working and what wasn’t working.
Now, over a year since I did that outfit formula program, I dress very differently and I find so much joy in putting together outfits. And I know what works for me and what doesn’t. I never thought this would be possible, but it’s true!
Would YOU Like to Feel More Confident Putting Outfits Together?
If you struggle with putting outfits together, I’m so excited to let you know that the program that I went through has this amazing resource available called The Big Book of Outfit Formulas.

Love that jean jacket. You know what brand it is? I’ve been looking for one but I don’t want a bulky and heavy one.
Crystal Paine says
It’s JUSTUSA and I got it from Stitch Fix and wear it all. the. time!
Clarice says
I’ve been trying to reproduce your braided hairstyle in the photo of you without luck… Your braid looks so thick but it doesn’t look like you started with a large section of hair. Is it a modified french braid? Please share!
Crystal Paine says
Yes — you only pull hair from one side into the Dutch Brand and braid it in and then you pull the hair to kind of “fluff” it once you’re finished braiding. Not sure if that makes sense?

Love, love, love the blue denim hat in your first picture. Please share info…..
Crystal Paine says
I love it so much, too! It was from a friend! I’ve been trying to find something similar in a different color and have yet to find one — if anyone knows the best place to find a similar hat, let us know!
