Sometimes, we feel quiet. It's natural. It can be because we're feeling under the weather, hit the gym (or the drinks) too hard the night before, feeling anxious, have things on our mind - the list goes on and on. But the question is, how to dress 'loud' when you're feeling unnaturally quiet? I spent last week shaking off that feeling and as a result, came up with a few ideas...
__________
Pile on the statement jewellery, or heavily layer dainty jewellery
Reach for ruffles, frills and peplums
Opt for striking, colourful prints
Work your highest heels
Add fierce accessories

Fashion aside, those 'quiet' days also scream for a bold lip and manicure! Anyway, I hope my tips have been of some help - and please do share your ideas below for dressing 'loud' when you feel like merging into the wallpaper!With love,

These are great suggestions! Love the statement sleeve on the ruffle blouse, it's definitely an attention grabber!

Red lipstick. It always helps if I am feeling quiet, but want to be loud.
ReplyDeleteLinda, Libra, Loca: Beauty, Baby and Backpacking
Yes to this!
DeleteI do love your tips! I would have to agree with Linda on the lipstick part...nothing jazzes up an outfit like a red lip.
ReplyDeleteThat blouse you got on is stunning!!!! so dramatic but not over the top. You nailed this look.

I definitely feel like high heels make more of a "splash" on those days you describe. A bright lipstick is another great suggestion. Love your ideas!

Thanks for sharing these tips, Gab! Jewelry and eccessories play a huge role in one's outfit, I believe they finish the set the mood we want to express through our clothes. Also, as you said, high heels are an instant way to elevate an outfit (no pun intended ;) ).

Love this and completely know what you mean! I always go with a bright pair of shoes or a bright lip. Absolutely loooove the ruffle shirt you are wearing.

Usually when I feel quiet, I don't want to be loud - I'd rather stay shy and quiet all the way. However when I do want to be loud and stand out, I'll go all out - red lipstick, prints, colour, all that! These tips are really interesting though, ruffles are definitely a way to make your outfit stand out and show that you're still there even though you're being quiet!

I love these tips babe! So true that it's important to "turn up" the volume on the fashion/beauty side on those quiet days. Love the idea of adding some volume by ruffles, or fierce accessories. Also, a bold lip will definitely do! Xx
ReplyDeletewww.thefashionfolks.com
I like the idea of having frills, ruffles, or peplums. It always gives something on your look/aura even if it's a basic, plain outfit :)

Terrific suggestions Gabrielle! I am so into statement jewelry and I always pair it with a bold lippie, which is a perfect combo for those days when I'm feeling down
ReplyDeleteKeisha xo
I always dress loud no matter how I’m feeling but I still really enjoyed reading this post Gabriella. You shared some great tips I can’t wait to adopt. I’m opting for striking, colorful prints from now on :)
ReplyDeleteI love these ideas! Simple but still very loud :)
ReplyDeleteHeidi 🍓 | Heidi's Planner
I LOVE this quote Gabrielle 'style is a way of saying who you are without having to speak' you've completely hit the nail on the head!! When I have those moments I usually head straight to my MAC lipsticks and a bright bold colour 😊
ReplyDeleteThese are great suggestions - statement jewellery is an excellent idea and I love the ruffle blouse! Gorgeous! Have a lovely weekend, Gabrielle!

I am with Anne, red, bright and bold lips whenever I want to be loud. :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm ALL about adding fierce accessories! At the moment I'm really loving fairly simple outfits with tassle/embellished earrings, if I'm ever feel like my outfit needs a little 'something' I always add a red lip.. winner every time!

ReplyDeleteThe Glossychic
These are fantastic tips Gabrielle and that blouse is amazeballs! I think that dressing loud can be a great way to lift one's spirits and mood when we're feeling down.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fantastic post and so many great ideas! My personal favorite is throwing on a pair of high heels, and I'm always a fan of doing a bold red lip, too!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great post and you're right, clothes create a statement without you having to say a thing. Often when I'm feeling under the weather. If you're unwell for example, try playing around with warm colours, pink is a great one as it helps to warm up your overall appearance.
ReplyDeleteSome lovely ideas and you're right about the high heels, they ooph up any look no matter how you're feeling ;)

ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how much we can say just with our clothes! I agree with you about a bold print - that can help a lot. Failing that, a bold lip! x

I so loved that quote about style! I have to say I used to dress 'loud' so much more when I was younger but I think my style now is at a point where I just can't go that loud because it doesn't feel right, if that makes sense? If I do feel like being a little bolder though I love a strong lipstick or heels.
ReplyDeleteJulia // The Sunday Mode
I love that top especially Gabrielle! Those ruffles & soft stripes are beautiful.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.averysweetblog.com/
I love making myself feel better with a good outfit or spending a little extra time doing my makeup. For me, there is also nothing like a killer pair of heels to make me feel more confident as well :) x
ReplyDeleteThese are all great tips! And I love the sleeves on your shirt! :) xx
ReplyDeleteI know your photo was focusing on that phone case, but where did you get the ring? I LOVE how that looks! And the ruffles on the sleeves of your top looks so perfect. Dressing loud is such a key way to boost confidence and overall mood

Thanks so much, Andrea! You know, I could tell you where every single piece of jewellery is from in this look - apart from that one ring! So sorry babe, it was a gift from my mum last summer and I've no idea where she bought it.

Peplums are my safe play when i'm feeling quiet ♥
