THE LAST SOUL ON A SUMMER NIGHT FOLDER ICON HOW TO

On top of that, Dani has a rack in her closet of outfit ideas curated with items she already owns for last-minute plans and outings. And then the rest of her clothes are organized by category-tops, pants, dresses, etc. A section for combos she can mix and match. So Kourt has a section for the pre-planned outfits ready to wear. I even told her that and she replied, ‘With my style, I know exactly what I like.” That said, she does like to test out different shoe or accessory options with outfits, but nine times out of ten she will go with her first choice. I was surprised to see how decisive Kourt was during the fitting.

Also, when Dani could see Kourt’s wheels spinning debating if she liked something, Dani would ask, “What is it that you don’t like about XYZ?” I thought this was such a simple way to figure out how to still make an outfit work or know if a piece just isn’t right. Kourt has her seamstress on hand during the fitting to mark alterations, but when you’re at home sorting out your looks, creating a pile to drop off gets the job done as well.įor Kourt, the most common tweak I overheard in her fitting was, “I feel like we should make it shorter.” Again, always so aligned with Kourt’s fashion vision. Another great tip I learned from Kourt: after you’ve tried on all your looks, if anything needs to be altered, put it in a pile to take to your tailor all at once. Spend a minute in front of the mirror tweaking the outfit and adjusting the fit so you can visualize what it could look like post-tailoring. This is especially helpful when you’re packing for a trip. Booked last-minute plans and not sure what to wear? Boom, go to your camera roll and scroll through your pre-planned looks. I started doing this after sitting through Kourt’s fitting because a) I was bored one night and needed a little pick-me-up and b) I realized how much time it saved when I needed to plan an outfit on a whim. Sure, we all don’t have a wonderful stylist like Dani to pre-plan looks for us, but you can steal Kourt’s technique of building outfits all at once (like I did) and incorporate it into your life. Then Dani takes a photo of each and puts it in Kourt’s lookbook (where Kourt can reference later when she’s getting ready). Then they go through the racks, and Kourt tries on each outfit. Like an upcoming getaway, casual summer looks, dinners dates, etc. Kourt and Dani chat through upcoming events, plans, and trips so that they can prep ideas for a variety of occasions. Reading for the style edition of what I’ve learned from Kourt.
