Hi everyone! How are ya’ll doing today? Today’s post covers simplicity with clothing, while also, standing out!
How, you may ask? Well, read on to find out!
—————————————
Throughout my trek of finding my personal style, I have learned one thing, let’s call it the Simple Simple Pizzazz method. The SSP Method, for this blog. Has a nice ring to it right?
Anyway the SSP is pretty straightforward and hassel-free. Allow me to explain:
What is the SSP Method?
To start, pick your first Simple.
Let’s say I choose a simple white cotton t-shirt.
Next, my second Simple: true blue skinny jeans.
Now, for the fun part, the pizzaz.
This is where YOU stand out. This is more where your personality comes into play.
Do not downplay this part!
I normally pick my shoes as the pizzaz.
Let’s say with my outfit example, I choose to wear blush pink metallic heeled boots with a pointed tip.
Like these:
The simplicity of the two shirts puts more emphasis on the boots. Most people decide that wearing a t-shirt with crazy & insane graphics and then adding on pink mom jeans with the metallic platform boots will really help them stand out.
Hey, no shame about that.
As I have said before: You can wear anything, as long as you wear it with confidence.
But I tend to find that wearing something simple and then adding on a pizzazz accessory can really make that one thing pop.
Too much pizzazz going on in one outfit with 2 silver watches, a 13k gold necklace, feather earrings, a huge leopard print purse, and a multi-color glittery dress could sorta play out like oil & water.
Not a pretty sight.
The pieces listed above are lovely things, just maybe not put together all at once.
What I am trying to say, basically, is you don’t need to wear all of your best things at once to look great. You can simplify it!
After all, simplicity is key.
Now, what can pizzazz accessories be?
Pretty much anything that captures your attention!
A bright and big pair of earrings can count.
Sunglasses are also a very great way to add pizzazz to an outfit (they are my go-to haha).
So can a shirt, to be honest.
One example could be a bright shirt with a certain graphic on it. This would be your pizzazz option.
Throw in your two simples: black straight leg denims and white canvas shoes, and you’re GOLDEN.
It can also be a scarf!
A purse!
Pretty much anything you can tangibly wear!
You might start to realize that the pizzazz method garners a lot more compliments! I know I have!
You do you!
What’s in My Closet?
Through the years, I have collected a myriad of pizzazz items that I hold dear to my heart & I would be more that glad to share them with you guys!
(Quick reminder: these links are not sponsored, they are just the items that I like to wear. Anytime an item is affiliated, I will let you guys know!)
Winter 2021 Items:
+ This Faux Fur Coat is a great source of stylish warmth on a chilly fall or winter (comes in Black or Olive shade!)
+ This multi-color Cable Knit Sweater is a supes cute & affordable! (It comes is Sage & Purple. Yes, please!)
+ I am absolutely in love with these faux snakeskin knee-high boots!
+ Now, I really want this CHANEL lambskin handbag, gorgeous, don’t you think! (The sage green is to die for) But, sometimes, affordable is all we can afford at the present moment, haha. If you also find yourself getting attached, like me, here is a similarity for under 10 bucks! It comes in a variety of pastel colors; choose whatever catches your eye for whatever reason!

+ These Prada platforms have completely made me enamored with them. They are a hefty investment, but they are so cute! Here is a more affordable similarity.
Back to the SSP…
The SSP method is just a method, not a way of life.
I don’t use it everyday; I use it on days where I want to dress somewhat casual, yet add some simple elegance to my outfit.
If you want to add two pieces of pizzazz to your outfit, go for it!
